SHIT YOU SHOULD CARE ABOUT
About this episode

Meri Kirihimete to our wonderful podcast listeners!


Luce and Bel are taking a well-deserved break but will see you back on the 18th of Jan! In the meantime, enjoy some of our favourite episodes of 2023!


This week we discuss something very near and dear to our hearts - the dangers of the tortured artists trope and why we shouldn't expect artists to live in their pain to create art for us. Also, Adele is sick of you throwing shit at people on stage, Olivia Rodrigo has a new song out and we're OBSESSED, and Zoe and Alfie are having another baby.
