Update: July 11: We’ll be back on July 22nd! Thank you!
Intro we have new ads: Minutes 0 to 4
You may notice that we have new ads which are bigger and take a little longer to load. I looked for months to find a good company to work with and have made sure that there are no ads with automatic sound. We also mention we’re waiting for the next scandal or breakup this summer and find Irina Shayk and Bradley Cooper’s split boring. You can listen below!
Royals: Minutes 4 to 13:30
We had two big events this week, The Order of The Garter and Royal Ascot. We talk about Kate’s faux pas when she missed seeing Queen Letizia. We also discuss Kate’s twee style. The Royal Foundation is splitting in two different organizations for the Sussexes and The Cambridges. Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice were criticized for their fashion, with people comparing Eugenie’s dress with the boob darting to Anne Hathaway’s Prada Oscar gown. Beatrice’s dress looked like something Kate would wear.
Taylor Swift: Minutes 13:30 to 20
Taylor Swift released the video for You Need to Calm Down, which threw so many gay celebrities together in one video. There was the appropriation argument and also the parallels between Taylor’s video and Beyonce’s 2011 Party video. Taylor and Katy Perry buried the hatchet but did anyone really care? Also, was Taylor sending a message to people with her hair in the video? If she is bi, do people care?
Big Little Lies: Minutes 20 to 24
Spoilers up to season two episode two. Chandra wasn’t too impressed with the first episode of the second season of Big Little Lies but she thought the second episode was bonkers and full of plot twists. I agree to start watching it so we can talk about it.
Downton Abbey Movie: Minutes 24 to 28
Spoilers to the end of Downton Abbey series. This week we got to see new character posters for Downton Abbey. Chandra loves these costume and historical dramas but I’m mediocre on them. I’m still looking forward to the movie. The part of the series that bored me enough to stop watching is the part that Chandra loves!
Little Women first look: Minutes 28 to 30
We got our first look at Greta Gerwig’s version of Little Women, which Chandra is excited about. She hated the 90s Winona Ryder version and I really don’t care about it.
User Feedback: Minutes 30 to 32:30
Thanks to Launica Angelina, Heather, Mooya, Orange Owl, BlueSky and Victoria for your nice feedback!
Comments of The Week: 32:30 to 37
My COTW was by Perplexed on Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice’s fashion. Chandra’s COTW was by Jen on the confusion over Cersei’s pregnancy on GoT.

She looks 50 on that photo
yep. +1 . also, I just can’t understand how a song as lame as this can trigger so many pr topics.
At first glance I thought that was Madonna, I clearly need new glasses.
Taylor has a large female gay following that has built up spontaneously over the last decade. She has been acknowledging us from time to time over the years and most of the fandom has been well aware of our existence.
It has been very amusing to witness gay men and straight women shocked by her actions as if they just came out from nowhere.
Mmhmm…

I enjoyed this episode! Good way to spend the commute to work on a Monday. I haven’t noticed any lag time with loading with the new ads.
Oh thank you!
Her song is awful and that wig is awful and isn’t even the actual colors of the bi pride flag. Also she called herself an ally repeatedly, so like… move on. There are plenty of queer artists out there making amazing music and not getting half of the attention.
Just FYI, Eugenie (as in the princess) is pronounced ‘YOU she nee’.
ETA: One of you said it the right way.
The Queen pronounces it YOO-junnee.

I’ve heard her mother pronounce it as You-zhe-nee several times over the years. The queen reminds me of people who still say Eye-talyin instead of It-alian. Drives me up the wall.
Aw yeah baby podcast day
I’m not sure I care if she’s bi. I DO care about those bangs, and that she might spark some kind of trend.
Please, Taylor — use your platform responsibly.
Gotta say that I was turned off a bit by your podcast last week when you discussed the american women soccer team. Kinda disingenuous how you interpreted the replies. There were a lot of nuanaced comments and you reduced them to one thing. Sorry, my english is rubbish and hope I don’t sound harsh.
Because I love this site a lot and agree with you gals with pretty much everything. Just needed to let it out. Super stoked to hear what you say about little women though and greta in particular.
???
Not sure what you mean. I thought they sounded perfectly fine discussing the women’s soccer team. It’s a bummer if you don’t agree with their opinions, but I didn’t think anyone sounded disrespectful at all.
It wasn’t a fair discussion at all. There were over 100 comments explaining and giving examples of other teams not being unsportsmanlike….yet the podcast made it seem like people where asking them to stop scoring. I don’t recall a single comment saying that.
