Not Your Mother’s Book Review: Fruit Fly
2026/10/29
We read Fruit Fly by Josh Silver for October in the Shit You Should Read About book club, and here is our unfiltered, unhinged review! The Shit You Should Read About book club is exclusive to our paying newsletter subscribers, where we host our monthly book picks on the Fable app and dissect them chapter by chapter. While that is still sacred to our book club members, we wanted to give you a slice of what the cutest corner of the internet is like by posting our book reviews right here on the main podcast feed. Shit You Should Read About is for the hotties who aren’t gonna sit through a dense text for the sole purpose of impressing a snob. It’s for the ones who suffer under the paradox of choice and simply can’t pick from the endless stream of new releases hitting the shelves each day. We probs haven't read the classics, we def couldn't tell you the difference between the use of omniscient third person and the scintillating use of sympathetic background (lol, throwing back to high school English there). But, we can tell you that life is too short to read s****y books! Join our Book Club here! Follow the Shit You Should Read About Instagram here! Subscribe to the Shit You Should Care About newsletter here! Vote for Shit You Should Care About for the NZ Podcast Listeners Choice Award! Hosted on Acast.

The One About Ageing and Beauty
2026/08/25
On this week's episodes of the Shit You Should Care About podcast, Lucy and Abby discuss everything ageing and beauty.  It has never been easier to be beautiful. There are filters that restructure your face in real time. Procedures you can book on your lunch break. A product for every insecurity, a medication for every flaw. There are AI bots that you can ask exactly what to fix and how. Or comment sections that will give you that advice anyway, free of charge, and consent.  And not conforming to all of the above is deemed defiant. Listen on Spotify here! Listen on Apple here!
