Prepare to have sticky toffee pudding ruined for you for the rest of your life…We also ask a question about parody videos - Em Rata blocked Celeste Barber after she posted parodies of her online.

  • 168. Convicted drug-dealer to award-winning artist: Kevin Devonport

    41:08||Ep. 168
    Kevin Devonport is a multi-award winning artist - his work has been displayed worldwide to much acclaim… but his entry to the art world is not what you might expect because he learned to paint whilst he was serving a prison sentence for drug offences. In this conversation - we discuss how art helped Kevin rebuild his life from rock bottom. Prison reform is a complicated and nuanced topic - but Kevin’s story is testament to how creative programmes in prisons can inspire and give hope of a new life beyond prison. You can see Kevin’s work at https://kevindevonportfineart.co.uk/ Follow @kevindevonportfineart on InstagramThis episode was recorded in November 2024 If you would like to get in touch - you can email us on shouldideletethatpod@gmail.comFollow us on Instagram:@shouldideletethat@em_clarkson@alexlight_ldnShould I Delete That is produced by Faye LawrenceStudio Manager: Dex RoyVideo Editor: Celia GomezSocial Media Manager: Emma-Kirsty FraserMusic: Alex Andrew

    36:54|
    Get ready because we're sharing Em’s problematic sunbathing plans for this summer and Al’s been dropping some more French references… quelle surprise! We also discuss two of the biggest moments of internet discourse from this week… firstly Remi Bader made a splash by talking about her weight loss surgery on Khloe Kardashian’s podcast and then Chappell Roan said that all her friends with children are in hell. We discuss our collective policing of women’s choices and opinions - and why some people feel entitled to criticise women online for things they choose to do.

  • Just Us: We need to talk about Adolescence...

    44:19|
    Mercury is in retrograde and we’re all feeling it… Em, Al and Xanthe are in the studio today - and we’re gonna be honest… it was a little hard for us to find goods for this week’s GBA. Al’s been getting violent at the dentist and Em’s household has been hit by the flu. We also dive into the conversations that have been opened up in the mainstream in the wake of the Netflix show Adolescence - which follows the story of a 13 year old boy who is arrested for the murder of a girl in his school. We discuss the rise of online misogyny, how it’s affecting young boys and what hope we have of stopping it.This conversation does discuss plot points from Adolescence - but if you haven’t seen it - the conversation mainly focuses on the issues the show brings up rather than the details of the plot. It won’t ruin the show, but you may get more from this conversation if you’ve seen at least the first two episodes of the series. Listen to Sam Browne’s spoken work piece ‘Silly Billy’.

  • 168. Money = power: why financial freedom is a feminist issue

    55:14||Ep. 168
    Who here thinks they’re rubbish with money? We did, until we spoke to Alexia De Brogile. Alexia is the co-founder of YourJuno - the financial education app, by women, for women.In this episode, we find out how women’s attitudes to money are set from our childhood and how that lack of confidence follows us into adulthood - and stops us from growing our wealth…Alexia and her sister Margot created their platform to essentially be the Duolingo of financial education for women. They have helped thousands of women to learn about every aspect of personal finance. If you have any questions about personal finance - What’s investing? Is the stock market safe? What is an ISA? - this a judgment free zone and this episode is for you!You can download the YourJuno app for free hereFollow @yourjuno on InstagramFollow @alexiadebroglie on InstagramThis episode was recorded in November 2024If you would like to get in touch - you can email us on shouldideletethatpod@gmail.comFollow us on Instagram:@shouldideletethat@em_clarkson@alexlight_ldnShould I Delete That is produced by Faye LawrenceStudio Manager: Dex RoyVideo Editor: Celia GomezSocial Media Manager: Emma-Kirsty FraserMusic: Alex Andrew
  • Just Us: I like it dense and wet

    42:32|
    We have *muchos* to discuss today!Em’s got an awkward that Boy Alex won’t let her talk about and she needs to get off her chest. Meanwhile, Al has potentially given Betty a taste for human blood… We also discuss internet accountability - we know that that people say hurtful things online but why do people feel the need to do it? And why do people feel so comfortable to do it publicly? Alex has been completely outnumbered in the studio today with her very controversial opinion about tea. We’re pretty sure she’s in the minority - but if you feel like giving her some support, you can email us at shouldideletethatpod@gmail.com  - send us your awkwards too please, we LOVE reading them!
