MONDAY ANALYSIS:
We watched the new Louis Theroux documentary, Inside The Manosphere, and we have thoughts. Is Louis Theroux platforming people who shouldn’t be platformed – or is he bringing much-needed attention to a dangerous problem? Should we be exposing these manosphere grifters to the light?

MONDAY ANALYSIS:
Writer Lindy West has let us into the world of her modern marriage. It made us wonder…do we all know far too much about each other’s relationships? And knowing how cruel the internet can be, why do so many writers continue to mine their personal lives for their work?

The great unfollowing of pregnant women across social media. That’s the strange phenomenon/conversation happening online at the moment, where lots of users on TikTok are asking each other: Is it okay to unfollow someone just because they just announced their pregnancy?

DUMB STUFF FRIDAYS:
A dry cleaning AYINOSI! And then, you’ve probably seen the video of McDonald’s CEO Chris Kempczinski trying their new burger – it was cringe, to say the least, because, well…. he didn’t seem overly enthusiastic about eating it. So, we asked you guys to tell us the cringiest thing your boss has done, and to send over any juicy boss dilemmas you wanted us to (try) solve. Plus!!!! More secret sounds of Shameless...

MONDAY ANALYSIS:
After the tragic deaths of actors Eric Dane and James Van Der Beek, GoFundMe pages were established to ‘support the families,’ and the donations started rolling in. It begs the question: is it okay for celebrities – or families of celebrities – to ask for charity? Is this a case of asking the poor to donate to the rich? And…have we entered an era where being famous no longer equals being rich?

Are you in need of some intrigue? And then, a big ol’ deep dive into Labradoodles because everyone on the internet is shading them atm – even the creator of the Labradoodle himself. Oh, and to conclude this episode, we are being put to the test: Belly has recorded some of the Shameless Media team’s car indicators, and we are going to guess whose sound belongs to which person.

Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
