SO WE'RE WRITING A BOOK Oct 04, 2023

Introducing to you our book ✿MAKE IT MAKE SENSE✿

Make It Make Sense is a mix of cultural analysis, anecdotes, personal essays and poems, interplayed like a conversation between friends - because that’s what they are. You should be able to pick it up, read something that will make you laugh or cry or punch you in the gut, and then put it down until you’re ready for your next hit. From introducing new words for things that we’re all feeling but don’t know how to describe (hi phoenixing!) to real-life anecdotes of being young and ambitious and pressed up against the glass ceiling that still exists despite our best 2010 Girlbossing, how not to rob ourselves of joy, what happens when you lose someone you love, and how all of this is intrinsically bound up with the way the world’s working around us - this book is going to be the bedside table essential that you’re going to want to give everyone in your life who wants to feel less alone in whatever shit they’re dealing with.

Welcome back to Own The Feels - brought to you in partnership with Love Better - where we’re doing our damnedest to help us break-up better - which means owning whatever we’re feeling and learning how to deal with it.

Why, when we break-up with someone, is jealousy often our overriding emotion? I mean it makes sense - you’ve put so much time into this person, you might have even helped them grow into a healthier version of themselves, and now you don’t get to have them in your life anymore? It sucks - but we’re here to help. We can give you a few tips on how to curb the jealousy, how to spot when it moves into obsessive territory, and how to focus on YOU, rather than on them.

A huge thank you to Love Better, and everyone who gave us their stories to make these podcasts possible. If you want to know more about how to break-up better, listen to next week's episode, and head to https://www.vice.com/en/topic/love-better.

This week we’re talking all about Revenge - and how we can be better than it.

We hear from a few different people who’ve sought revenge in a break-up - from leaving polaroids around their ex's house, to pretending that they’re getting back together and then literally moving countries - but most importantly, we offer up some tangible tips to curb that need to ‘get even’ and how to spot when it crosses the line from ‘harmless’ to ‘harmful.’

Can Any Tech Company Survive the Attack of the Clones? Apr 25, 2021

Instagram stole Snapchat's stories, Twitter stole Facebook's "likes," TikTok stole Vine's.... everything? Today innovation feels like it's ruled by Big Tech's copy/acquire/kill strategy and we just wanna know... is anyone exempt? Is there such thing as originality anymore? Should we give up on having our own ideas and just wait for someone else to do something we can copy?

Don't Touch Me in a Nightclub, Part 2: WTF Can We Do About This? Apr 18, 2021

In Part 2 of our "Don't Touch Me In A Nightclub" series, Luce and Liv discuss how we can tackle clubbing culture with Ella Lamont and Sophia Harrison, two young women who were tired of living through the gross Wellington nightclub scene, so they launched an online space for others to share their experiences.

We explore:

What their survey found
Why "it's not all men" is irrelevant
What we can do to try and tackle this culture

These conversations usually fall on the wrong ears, so please, don't be shy - send this episode to anyone you think might need to hear it. This could be your guy mates, your brothers, your girlfriends - be shameless!

Keep up with what Ella and Sophia are up to at the Wellington Alliance Against Sexual Violence.

If you or someone you know needs help, you can find support here.

Hey guys! It's Luce and Liv here, and we wanna have a chat with you. A very loving one, but a very necessary one xxxx

In this very important episode, Luce and Liv discuss clubbing culture and how touching someone before talking to them has been normalised.

We tell our stories from the clubs and share some of the HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of stories you sent in to us
We try to explain how this culture got to where it is today, and what we can do to change it

The thing is, these conversations usually fall on deaf ears, so please, don't be shy - send this episode to anyone you think might need to hear it. This could be your guy mates, your brothers, your girlfriends - be shameless!

Wtf is Pizzagate? Apr 09, 2021

A 2021 re-upload, coz this episode rules.

What do Hillary Clinton, Justin Bieber, a Pizza Parlour in Washington, and TikTok have in common? They're all linked to Pizzagate, a conspiracy theory that came to light in 2016 and is having a moment in 2020, four years on.

Today Luce and Rubes do what they do best and debunk this conspiracy theory for you all - and you better believe that once again, TikTok has a huge role to play in its resurgence.

We Need To Talk About David Dobrik Apr 07, 2021

Today’s episode is all about David Dobrik and the recent and very serious rape allegations against the Vlog Squad.

We explain who and what the Vlog Squad is, why influencers and creators keep fucking up, yet their platforms HARDLY EVER suffer, why everyone has been so scared to talk about Youtube’s “Golden Boy,” the way audiences are groomed into thinking content that definitely isn’t okay, is, and whether it’s the job of the creator to predict what is or isn’t going to be okay in the future.

A big episode, but a very important one.

We’re BACK - kinda. Look, when there’s shit to talk about, we’re just gonna talk about it. And we NEED to talk about why we were all so gripped by the big, stuck boat in the Suez canal.

Naturally, there’s a lot of meme chat along the way - so you should definitely listen.
