Falling Upwards
Backrooms & Olivia Rodrigo
This week on Falling Upwards, we're diving headfirst into the madness of pop culture this June.
From what Olivia Rodrigo's said about her newest album, to ILLIT, KATSEYE and LE SSERAFIM's ICONIC BY MISTAKE, KATSEYE and LE SSERAFIM, and Taylor Swift's newest song, we've got plenty to discuss from the world of music. Elsewhere, we unpack the strange tale of a cockroach kingpin, the cancellation of Doctor Who, and the withdrawal of Piper Gilles and Paul Poirier from this year's Figure Skating Grand Prix series.
K-pop, pop music, science fiction, competitive ice dance and organised insect crime... all in the same episode. What more could you ask for?
