Maggie is back from her holiday so let's get into it.
Justin Timberlake was arrested last week and made Jas realise media literacy is DEAD.
Next, Jas is being served 'No Sugar' videos on her TikTok. Is she alone in this or is it the next iteration of diet culture disguised as wellness?
Pop music is dominating 2024 but not everyone agrees. We discuss two pieces with differing opinions. One is for British GQ titled How Pop Music Got Its Personality Back by Daisy Jones. The latter is for the Wall Street Journal and is titled Why Pop Music Is So ‘Meh’ Right Now by Neil Shah. We also reference an ep from Pandora Sykes' podcast Doing It Right titled How Tech Flattened Personal Taste, With Kyle Chayka.
Charli XCX and Taylor Swift battled it out for the UK's number one album last week. We share our thoughts on whether this was intentional and reference this TikTok by pop culture journalist Eilish Gilligan and another by Zee Feed's Crystal Jane.
In recommendations, Jas loved this debut novel while Maggie watched an animated film.
