Did Coachella highlight the double standards in pop music?

Let's talk about nepo babies and how they're taking over the arts, shall we? Also, Louis Tomlinson deserves AOTY and I went to watch Strictly Come Dancing.

The Traitors is the best TV show, fight me. Let's talk about the latest season of The Celebrity Traitors, plus how the show has become an international sensation. Also, Raye started a one-woman battle against ticket touts and bots, and I think that deserves a standing ovation. In more serious matter, the BBC seems to be on a mission to isolate a queer audiences. Plus, I'm reading Fruit Fly by Josh Silver.

People can't be normal about Taylor Swift. What's new? Let's talk about The Life Of A Showgirl: The Encore, why fans have turned into critics, and how fan spaces on social media are changing. Plus, I went to see Niall Horan on his latest tour, and The Hunger Games: Sunrise On The Reaping is going to be the film of the year.

I talk about Louis Tomlinson's live show at the O2 Arena in London, after hearing him perform Night Changes for the first time. Also, a little update on Zayn, Harry and Niall seeing as they've all decided to release music this year. And I discuss the Met Gala - specifically the two hottest names in Hollywood - Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams.

In this episode, I'm joined by author Bill Wood! We discuss the journey from creating content on BookTok to writing best-selling books. Also, we look at the ups and downs of BookTok, how book content on social media has shifted over the years, and what it takes to be a successul author!

It's been two whole years since Taylor Swift surprised the world with a double album, and The Tortured Poets Department screamed its way into our lives. I'm joined by Jonathan Miller to discuss Taylor's eleventh studio album, the relationships she examines, the themes she explores, and the devastation she unleashed upon Swifties across the 31 tracks.

It's a New Music Friday special! I talk about Zayn's fifth studio album KONNAKOL, the highly anticipated new single from Olivia Rodrigo, drop dead, and sombr's latest track Potential. Also a little round-up of other new releases in the world of music.

Coachella 2026 sparked a huge debate about the different expectations from female pop stars compared to male pop stars in live performances. I explore both sides of the coin, looking at Sabrina Carpenter's spectacle and the reactions to it, compared to Justin Bieber's nostalgic "YouTube karaoke".I also discuss some TV shows, films, books and other music I've recently been enaging with.

My full thoughts on Harry Styles' new album, Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally. Plus a full debrief of my experience at his One Night Only show, which was filmed for Netflix.

Harry Styles finally begins the rollout for HS4, Zayn prepares for his Vegas residency whilst also teasing new tour dates, Louis Tomlinson has an interview with Billboard ahead of releasing How Did We Get Here, Liam Payne is up for a posthumous award, and now we're just waiting for Niall Horan to tell us when to expect NH4. Also, more music chat and Heated Rivalry discussion.
