About this episode

This week on Name 3 Songs…


⚡ Fangirl Nonsense: It’s been 9 years since Zayn Malik left one Direction. We’re getting more teasers and interviews for The Idea of You starring Nicholas Galitzine and Anne Hathaway since the premiere of the film at SXSW. Dua Lipa and Callum Turner are the hottest new couple. Olivia Rodrigo’s extended edition songs are the perfect love song about her new boyfriend Louis Partridge. 


⚡ Kate Middleton recently announced her diagnosis of cancer amid media and public speculation about her absence from the public eye over the last three months. Kate seemingly disappeared from any public appearances or photo opportunities after a surgery in January. In early March, a heavily edited photo was posted to Kate’s instagram account causing more public outrage and speculation. We break down this series of events including the way that the media and public responded, and how this all compares to female figures being treated in the limelight.
