19: Election Mania, Glastonbury Goops, and Pop Princesses

Broadly Relevant

Get keen for a piping hot plate of gossip from Glastonbury Festival, featuring Paul Mescal, Tilda Swinton, and Louis Tomlinson. We’re dealing with. major cases of FOMO so just had to get it all out of our system.

Plus, it’s election season. We chat about the French election (and how their electoral system works), the British, and the American—but to end on a brighter note, we chat about the rise of the pop girlies in 2024 and the way they’re making everything feel ok. And is that ok?

👋 Welcome to Episode 19 of the podcast for burnt out girlies trying to stay Broadly Relevant, hosted by your favourite personality hires, Simran Pasricha & Ryan Hamilton.

🖤💛❤️ We recorded this episode on the land of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people of the Kulin Nations, but Simran and Ryan met and grew up together on the land of the Kombumerri people, part of the Yugambeh Language Group. We’d like to acknowledge and pay our respects to Kombumerri annd Wurundjeri elders past and present. This always was and always will be Aboriginal land. We encourage settlers like us to Pay the Rent.
