In a world where Everything Is Content - Beth McColl, Ruchira Sharma and Oenone are here to guide you through the stories that have ignited the internet each week.
Films, viral long reads, Instagram scandals, celebrity nonsense, reality TV obsessions and TikTok trends- if you can post about it online, then we can (and will) turn it into discourse.
Every week, Beth, Ruchira and Oenone will delve into the biggest and splashiest pop culture culture stories, before weighing in on the conversations that they have incited online. Why are we so interested in these stories? And what does this say about us as we try to navigate life in the "real" world?

Hello EICongregation! Welcome to content church!
This week we're going into the depths of the discourse so that you don't have to. Charli XCX is getting heat for the quality of her newest Substack essay, Sydney Sweeney seems to be doing a 180 on her recent public attitude, fridges may or may not be sending people into psychosis- and we're breaking it down right here.
Also in this episode: Oenone's algorithm has been hijacked by a sharp-jawed looksmaxxer called Clavicular. Confused? We've got you. Looksmaxxing is a subculture that emerged in incel forums and focuses on teaching men and boys how to optimise their appearance through grooming, cosmetic procedures and sometimes extreme lifestyle changes. We discuss the implications of this kind of content as it expands into the mainstream.
And finally a woman in America is getting roasted up, down and side to side on the internet after proposing to her boyfriend of 14 years. She said: "I really wanna get married. We’ve been together for 14 years already. He hasn’t proposed....So why not?” The internet replied: BECAUSE WE SAID SO. We discuss her decision to flip the tradition and whether shaming her for getting down on one knee is just another way to police women and tell them if they aren't chosen with a diamond ring then they aren't worthy.
We hope you enjoy this episode and if you do- please leave us a rating and a review on your podcast player app. Ciao! O, R, B x
