Y'all, we're sorry but this was a MESSY one! We were talking about self-care and then we were talking about nail polish and then we were talking about the ripeness of a banana and then we were talking about Beatrice single white sister-ing Rosemary and then who the f knows, honestly?! LIFE! BRAINS! WORD SALAD!

  • 190. Big Feelings, Little Fingers

    43:16||Ep. 190
    A clip has surfaced from a recent Chappell Roan concert where the singer had a little moment on stage, tearfully explaining to concertgoers that she was feeling overwhelmed by life recently – and asking their forgiveness if the show wasn't up to scratch. So we're asking, have we got to a point where public displays of emotion like this are expected, welcomed and lauded? Is there a performative aspect to crying in public? And is it finally okay, in 2024, to cry at work?If you're in the US and would like to pre-order Rosemary's book, you can do that right now on bookshop.org, Amazon.com or from Barnes & Noble.If you have questions, queries, comments, critiques, email them to us!
