Ep. 40 It's Not Me, It's UK (pt 2)

Tue, 17 Mar 2026 06:00:00 GMT

We're diving back into a conversation we had last year... it feels like everyone’s leaving the UK right now… right?

From the cost of living and career burnout to the weather (we had to say it), more and more people seem to be packing up and moving abroad in search of something better.

So we asked the Shallow community: have you left the UK, or are you thinking about it & WHY?

In this episode, we’re diving into your answers and the real reasons people are leaving.

Is moving abroad about chasing the dream… or just stepping away from a life in the UK that no longer feels like it works?

Ep. 39 Wuthering Heights

Tue, 03 Mar 2026 06:00:00 GMT

This week on Shallow Podcast, we’re diving into Emerald Fennell’s adaptation of Wuthering Heights and the cultural storm surrounding it.

From the casting debate and costume choices to the online backlash and endless think pieces, the loudest criticism has been the same: “It’s not like the book.”

But is that actually the problem?

Do adaptations need to be faithful to be successful? Or is this really about who gets to reinterpret classic literature in 2026?

We break down what changed from Emily Brontë’s original novel, whether the core themes still hold, the Heathcliff race discourse, the performances, the aesthetics, and whether this backlash is really that deep.

Let's dive in.

Ep 38. Women Don't Want to Date Anymore

Tue, 17 Feb 2026 06:00:00 GMT

The Shallow Take? Women don’t want to date anymore.

Joined by our first man(!!!) In this episode of Shallow Podcast, we unpack the growing conversation around women opting out of modern dating and ask if there’s truth behind it.

Joined by our long-time friend, Arley Simpkins, we explore how dating has shifted over the last decade, why more women are choosing to stay single, and what the emotional reality looks like on both sides. Is it burnout? Higher standards? Independence? Or are we finally refusing to settle?

Let's dive in.

Ep 37. 29 going on 30

Tue, 03 Feb 2026 06:00:00 GMT

The Shallow take? 30 is just a number...

Or is the lead up to 30 packed with an invisible checklist and a constant toe in comparison culture?

This week, we’re diving into how turning 30, for most feels like a deadline - for success, for beauty, for babies and becoming that shining future self you always dreamed of.

and of course, we're asking... is turning 30 really that deep?

Ep 36. The Gender Pain Gap

Tue, 20 Jan 2026 06:00:00 GMT

The Shallow Take? Endometriosis is just bad period pain...

But, really...

Endometriosis affects around 190 million people worldwide (World Health Organisation). In the UK, 1 in 10 women live with it (that's about 1.5 million people - Endometriosis UK). And yet, the average diagnosis still takes years.

Why? Because female pain has been ignored, minimised, and normalised for generations.

This week, we’re unpacking endometriosis: the symptoms, the stigma, the exhausting fight to be believed, and what life with endo actually looks like behind closed doors.

We’re diving into Phoebe's personal endo story, asking why the medical system still struggles to take women seriously, and what needs to change.

Is it really that deep? Yeah. It is.

Ep 35. Review: Taylor Swift End of an Era Documentary

Tue, 06 Jan 2026 06:00:00 GMT

Taylor Swift: End of an Era... What the Doc Really Reveals

This week we’re diving into the Eras documentary, what it shows, what it leaves out, and why it matters. From Taylor’s powerful reflections on feeling “hunted,” to the way the film quietly reframes her leadership and loyalty, there’s a lot to unpack.

We talk pacing issues, our obsession with Amanda’s choreography segment, the lack of Ticketmaster context, and why some of the biggest themes never quite get the “why” they deserve.

Ep 34. Skincare... for toddlers?!

Tue, 23 Dec 2025 06:00:00 GMT

The Shallow Take? What’s the harm in a face mask?

Shay Mitchell has launched a children’s skincare line, and the internet has opinions.

From “it’s not too late to delete this” to think pieces calling it dystopian, this release sparked a full-blown cultural debate.

Is kids’ skincare just harmless self-care? A smart celebrity business move? Or are we quietly accelerating the beauty pipeline and shrinking childhood by normalising beauty rituals earlier than ever?

In this episode, we unpack why this story hit such a nerve. We dive into the marketing strategy, the moral panic, the feminist lens, and what dermatologists are actually saying about skincare for kids. We also ask the bigger question: where does curiosity end and conditioning begin?

Is it really that deep... or are we overthinking a face mask?

Let’s dive in.

Ep 33. The London Girls Bookclub with Caitlin Curry

Tue, 09 Dec 2025 06:00:00 GMT

Book clubs are boring… right?

Today’s shallow take says they’re stuffy, pretentious, and mostly an excuse to drink wine while pretending you got past chapter three.

But what if book clubs are actually having a moment?

This week, we’re joined by Caitlin Curry, founder of the London Girl’s Book Club—a community of over 16,000 women and readers who’ve turned “book chat” into a genuine lifeline for friendship, connection, and belonging.

We’re diving into:

📚 How Caitlin built LGBC from the ground up

💬 Why women-only spaces matter more than ever

🤝 How book clubs create real community in an increasingly isolated world

👀 And yes… some very hot takes from the LGBC community (including a Hinge date who definitely wasn’t ready)

Ep 32. A Baby? In This Economy?!

Tue, 25 Nov 2025 06:00:00 GMT

The Shallow Take? Having a baby is just what adults do… right?

Except in 2025, starting a family feels less like a life milestone and more like a luxury purchase. With the rising cost of living, climate anxiety, housing insecurity, and childcare prices that rival a second rent, the decision to have kids isn’t just emotional anymore — it’s financial.

In this episode, we unpack why becoming a parent feels so out of reach for so many. Is choosing not to have children a true personal choice… or a choice shaped by the world we live in? Are we selfish, realistic, overwhelmed, or simply exhausted?

We explore falling birth rates, the pressure to “grow up", the myths about being childfree, and the real reasons so many millennials and Gen Z are hitting pause on parenthood.

Let’s dive in. 👶✨

Ep 31. In Conversation with Trisha Avery

Tue, 11 Nov 2025 06:00:00 GMT

Oh, we are so back.

Season 4 is officially here(!!!) and we’re kicking things off with someone very special.

The moment we met Trisha Avery, we knew she had to open the season. Her story is powerful, unfiltered, and completely captivating, so we threw our usual structure out the window and just talked.

In this episode, we dive into feminism, endometriosis, identity, womanhood, and what it really means to live loud in a world that still tells women to shrink.

It’s real, raw, and the perfect way to start the season - we hope you love it!

Bonus Episode: The Life of a Showgirl Album Review

Wed, 08 Oct 2025 05:00:00 GMT

Nobody asked, but we had to. Welcome to The Life of a Showgirl album review... a dive into one of the most talked-about pop releases of the year.

We break down how The Life of a Showgirl was marketed, the online backlash and praise, and the cultural conversation it sparked. Was it overhyped? Underrated? And most importantly... is it actually that deep?

Ep 30. Be Quiet, Woman!

Wed, 17 Sep 2025 05:00:00 GMT

The Shallow Take? Internalised misogyny isn’t that deep… right?

You’ve heard the jokes...

“I’m not like other girls,”

“She’s too emotional,”

“Girls are just so dramatic.”

But what if the punchline is actually the problem?

This week on Shallow, we’re diving into the subtle, everyday ways internalised misogyny shows up in our thoughts, our words, and how we treat other women — often without even realising it.

We’re talking about the messages we’ve absorbed since day one: that femininity is weakness, that women are competition, that we should shrink ourselves (and our bodies) to be accepted.

So… is internalised misogyny just another internet buzzword, or is it shaping how we see ourselves and each other?

Let’s find out if it’s really that deep 🎧

Ep 29. Underconsumption with Ashleigh Cameron

Wed, 10 Sep 2025 05:00:00 GMT

The Shallow Take? Overconsumption is out, and underconsumption might finally be in.

After years of shopping hauls, fast fashion, and feeling like every outfit needs to be worthy of the gram', are we finally done with buying stuff we don’t need?

This week on Shallow, we’re joined by fashion writer and industry expert Ashleigh Cameron to talk about why less might really be more. From falling back in love with your wardrobe to challenging the constant pressure to consume, we’re asking:

– Is 2025 the year we stop shopping?

– Can you still love fashion without buying anything new?

– Is underconsumption just another trend… or something deeper?

Let’s dive into the rise of rewearing, rethinking, and reclaiming our style... without maxing out our credit cards.

Ep 28. Will I Have A Better Life If I'm Hot?

Wed, 03 Sep 2025 05:00:00 GMT

The Shallow Take? Looking good is a fast track to success.

But is pretty privilege actually real, or just another way we justify chasing impossible beauty standards?

In this episode of Shallow, we’re diving into the link between appearance and opportunity. Does looking your best really make you more productive? Can being attractive open doors in work, dating, and life? Or… are we just stuck in a loop of performative self-improvement?

We’re asking whether beauty really equals power... or if it’s all just surface-level.

Let’s dive in.

Ep 27. Reality TV with Lottie Somers

Wed, 27 Aug 2025 05:00:00 GMT

The Shallow Take? Reality TV is the ultimate guilty pleasure.

Fake fights, mystery “sources,” chaotic edits, we know it’s not real, but we still can’t stop watching. From Made in Chelsea to Real Housewives to Keeping Up with the Kardashians, the past decade has been a binge-worthy mess… and we’ve loved every second.

But is it all harmless drama? Or has reality TV helped fuel a culture obsessed with beauty, fame, and clout?

This week, we’re joined by the oracle of reality TV herself, Lottie Somers, to unpack the highs, lows, and so many confessionals.

We’re asking: Is it empowering… or exploitative? How has reality TV reshaped pop culture? And is the drama ever actually real?

Scripted or not, the gossip’s good.

Is it really that deep? Let’s dive in.

Ep 26. Only Fans: Is The Price Tag Worth The Payout? (Pt 2)

Wed, 20 Aug 2025 05:00:00 GMT

The Shallow Take? OnlyFans is rebranding exploitation as liberation.

But is it really that simple?

In this episode, we’re diving into the world of OnlyFans... The platform often painted as either empowering or exploitative, depending on who you ask.

Critics say it profits off women’s bodies, feeds the male gaze, and reinforces toxic beauty standards. But for some creators, it’s a space for autonomy, agency, and serious income. So... is OnlyFans giving women power, or just another system built by men, for men?

We’re talking sex, money, control, and whether liberation inside a broken system is even possible.

Is it really that deep?

Ep 25. OnlyFans Is The Price Tag Worth The Payout? (Pt 1)

Wed, 13 Aug 2025 05:00:00 GMT

The Shallow Take? OnlyFans is where people take their clothes off for cash.

But what if it’s actually rewriting the rules around sex, money, and women’s control? For some creators, it’s not just about content - it’s about power. A platform where women set their own terms, own their audience, and keep the profits.

In this episode, we’re unpacking how OnlyFans works, why it’s become a cultural lightning rod, and whether it’s actually a feminist revolution… or just capitalism in a cuter outfit.

This is part one of a two-part conversation on sex work, autonomy, and the business of desire.

Ep 24. 'I Went Sober For A Year' - Was It Really That Deep?

Wed, 06 Aug 2025 05:00:00 GMT

The Shallow Take? Going sober is the obvious healthy choice… but is it actually that deep?

This week on Shallow, we’re picking up where our sober-curious deep dive left off, with a real-life test.

We’re joined by our friend Jordan Fores-Higgens, who gave up alcohol for an entire year leading up to her 30th birthday.

No cocktails, no “just one" - A full year, booze-free.

So… did it change her life? Was it a glow-up, a wake-up, or just another wellness trend dressed in clean-girl aesthetics?

We’re talking sober milestones, unexpected identity shifts, social pressure, and whether giving up drinking is really that deep.

Let’s dive in.

Ep 23. The Fashion Industry with Christine Lindebak

Wed, 30 Jul 2025 05:00:00 GMT

The Shallow Take: Fashion is frivolous.

This week on Shallow, we’re joined by designer and entrepreneur Christine Lindebak (founder of Sewing in the City) to talk about what really goes on behind the scenes of the fashion industry.

From self-expression to identity, politics to power, fashion shapes how we see ourselves and how we’re seen. But behind the glamour is a different story: global supply chains, labour conditions, sustainability, and the high cost of “cheap” clothes.

Christine shares her journey, from working in New York City for renowned fashion houses to building her own brand and reimagining the industry from the inside out, with a focus on ethics, inclusivity, and creativity.

Is the fashion industry actually much deeper than it looks? Let’s dive in.

Ep 21. Do Celebs Owe Us The Truth About Plastic Surgery?

Wed, 16 Jul 2025 05:00:00 GMT

The Shallow Take: Celebs are lying about plastic surgery.

In a world where beauty is currency, what happens when the people setting the standard won’t admit they’ve had a little work done? Are celebrities protecting their right to privacy, or selling an impossible ideal the rest of us can’t afford to chase?

This week on Shallow, we’re asking:

Do celebs owe us honesty about plastic surgery, and when beauty becomes business, does silence become strategy?

We unpack the grey area between personal choice and public influence, why beauty is now big business, and whether transparency is a fair ask, or just not that deep.

If you’ve ever wondered why everyone looks the same... or felt a little gaslit by a “just water and sleep” skincare routine - this one’s for you

Ep 20. Its Not Me, It's U.K

Wed, 11 Jun 2025 05:30:00 GMT

The Shallow Take: We're catching flights, not feelings ✈️

To close out Season 2, we’re talking about the big one: moving abroad. Whether it’s chasing the sun, starting over, or escaping the grind, the idea of packing up your life and heading somewhere new is more popular than ever (thanks, TikTok!).

It’s easy to believe the grass is always greener somewhere sunnier. But what’s it really like? To zoom in on the UK to Aus move (it's what we know) we’ll be diving into the dream versus the reality of travelling and making that big move.

We hope you enjoy this episode. See you in season 3!

Ep 19. Are We All Dressing The Same?

Wed, 04 Jun 2025 05:30:00 GMT

The Shallow Take: We’re all dressing the same.

From that Uniqlo bag to white socks and loafers… is the algorithm dressing us?

With TikTok trends and Pinterest-core aesthetics leading the charge, has personal style become harder to curate?

We’re diving into the death of individuality, revisiting fashion eras from owl pendants to indie sleaze and bandage dresses.

Was everyone dressing the same before Instagram? Or is it just not that deep?

Ep 18. The Pill x Bethan Walters

Wed, 28 May 2025 05:30:00 GMT

The Shallow Take: The pill is just a contraceptive…

In our very first guest episode (!!), we’re joined by menstrual health advocate @bethanwalters to unpack the real story behind the pill.

We’ve been prescribed it young, for cramps, acne, “regulating” our cycles - often without questioning what it’s really doing in our bodies. So is it even about preventing pregnancy anymore? Have we normalised taking hormonal birth control without understanding the impact?

We talk period pain, medical gaslighting, and ask the big one: should we be taking it at all?

Ep 17. The Glow-Up

Wed, 21 May 2025 05:30:00 GMT

The Shallow Take: What's the harm in self-improvement?

This week, we’re talking about the glow-up trend.

Those before-and-after videos flooding our feeds with beauty tips, routines and transformations. Some of it’s inspiring, sure. But a lot of it? Kind of exhausting.

We’re asking: when does self-improvement go too far? Are we really becoming the best version of ourselves - or just chasing a re-packaged version of the same beauty standards?

Wed, 14 May 2025 05:30:00 GMT

The Shallow Take: Your friendship group only gets smaller

We all know the playbook for romantic breakups, but what happens when a friendship feels “over”? Do we face it head-on or let it fizzle out?

A serious sit-down conversation might feel childish, ghosting could do more harm than good... or maybe it’s just not that deep.

This week, we’re unpacking the messy world of friendship breakups, why they happen, how to handle them, and if they deserve the same attention as romantic ones.

We unpack the rise of Ozempic and ask: should celebs be honest about using it?

From the Kardashians quietly shedding their signature curves to a full-blown return of '90s and 2000s skinny-era fashion, we trace the cultural shift that’s bringing “thin” back into style. Plus: a rewind to heroin chic, that Met Gala moment, and why we’re f*cking tired of women’s bodies being treated like trend cycles. We dive in!

What happens when the guitar-toting girl next door becomes a global billionaire? We’re breaking down her epic journey: the meteoric rise, the public fall, and that iconic comeback - plus those unforgettable pop culture moments (yes, we’re talking the 2009 VMAS and Hiddleswift chaos).

In Episode 13 of Shallow (IYKYK), we dive deep into the phenomenon that is Taylor Swift.

Annnnnd, we couldn't chat skincare without giving a nod to the queen herself, Caroline Hirons.

It’s become all too common from friendships to dating, but why do we do it? Is there ever a reason it’s okay to just... vanish?

We’re unpacking the psychology behind ghosting, sharing some honest moments about who we’ve ghosted (or who’s done it to us), and whether it’s better to bail than face tough conversations. Let's dive in!

Ep 9. Skin Conditions

Wed, 12 Mar 2025 06:30:00 GMT

In today’s episode, we’re diving into the world of skin conditions - and trust us, this is way more than just a surface-level conversation. While many dismiss it as...eh hem* a ‘shallow’ issue, the truth is, the emotional toll of dealing with skin issues can be heavy, often way beyond what people realise.

In this episode, we open up about our own journeys with chronic skin conditions and the rollercoaster ride of trying to get an accurate diagnosis. We also get real about the financial strain of trying treatments and why having a supportive community by your side can make all the difference.

In today’s episode, we’re diving deep into the latest sleep trends - from calming pillow sprays to high-tech sleep trackers, and asking the big question: Are they genuinely improving our rest, or just feeding into our obsession with perfect sleep?

We’ll also uncover the real impact of sleep deprivation and take a hard look at the sleep aid industry: Are they actually solving our problems, or just cashing in on our collective exhaustion? 🥱

In the latest episode of Shallow, we’re asking: Are we over celebrity fashion? With influencers and social media shaping our style choices more than ever, are A-listers losing their influence?

Back in the pre-internet days, magazines, TV, and celebrities (plus our most stylish friends) were our go-to sources for fashion inspiration. But now, are we moving away from celebrity style, pap walks and red-carpet moments in favour of more relatable, everyday fashion content? Or is it all just... not that deep?

Once upon a time, a degree + a good job = a comfy middle-class life. Fast forward to 2025? Yeah, not so much.

We're unpacking everything, from the rise and fall of 2010’s 'girlboss' narrative to today’s ‘lazy girl jobs’ - plus, was uni even worth it..? 👀

With the shifting rules of success, is the clear path to success gone for good? Or is it just not that deep?

The gals dominated. From Charli to Chappell, it was a HUGE year for females in pop...

Was the 31-song Tortured Poets Department too much for the general public? Was Sabrina Carpenter TOO sexualised? Did BRAT have the cultural dominance that Gen Z thinks it did? And most importantly, who deserves to take home the coveted Album Of The Year trophy?
