As the year draws to a close, we couldn’t let it pass without reflecting on what has been an extraordinary year in pop culture.


In this episode, hosts Halima Jibril and Elliot Hoste dive into the highs and lows of 2024, spanning film, music, fashion and politics. From blockbuster films like Poor Things, Challengers, Dune: Part Two and Queer, they explore whether this has truly been the year of yearning – and, if so, why? They also discuss the fresh, exciting music releases of the year from artists like Mk.gee, Charli xcx, Sabrina Carpenter and Chappell Roan, while examining the shifting dynamics of our relationships with celebrities and their evolving attitudes towards fame. Finally, Halima and Elliot turn their attention to the political landscape, sharing their thoughts on what to expect as Donald Trump takes office again and what the left needs to do differently moving forward.
