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.

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.
