The 9 Month Cruise, Cop Slide & Smothered

We wrapped the studio in tinsel to record our last episode of 2023. Today Beth, Ruchira and Oenone share their pop-culture highlights of 2023 as well of some of our favourite things from this week. We have a new obsession with Cruise Tok, a 13-year-old's Christmas list has gone viral, and we are loving Monica Heisey's Smothered. — AYO EDEBIRI https://www.instagram.com/ayoedebiri YOUTUBE: Police Officer Tumbles Down Giant Playground Slide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-t3eKgW-siM HUFFINGTON POST: Why The Boston Cop Went Down The Slide So Fast, According To A Physicist https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/why-boston-cop-went-down-slide-fast_n_64cbdd75e4b099151f36cd5c TIME: Why Vanderpump Rules Is Suddenly Everywhere https://time.com/6260504/vanderpump-rules-drama-explained/ METRO: A first-look inside the 9-month-long cruise that’s blowing up on TikTok https://metro.co.uk/2023/12/17/tiktoker-shares-life-like-a-9-month-cruise-a-peek-inside-19985182/ TIKTOK: Meet ‘The Cast’ of the Ultimate World Cruise https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGeNbxHcK/ LADBIBLE: People left 'speechless' by 13-year-old girl's Christmas list this year https://www.ladbible.com/community/teen-christmas-list-nike-apple-twitter-781985-20231218 THE CUT: TikTok Is Taking Over My Teen’s Multistep Skin-Care Routine https://www.thecut.com/article/tiktok-is-taking-over-my-teens-multi-step-skincare-routine.html MONICA HEISEY: Really Good, Actually https://www.waterstones.com/book/really-good-actually/monica-heisey/9780008511760 GUARDIAN: Smothered review – this fresh twist on a romcom is utterly lovely https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2023/dec/07/smothered-review-this-fresh-twist-on-a-romcom-is-utterly-lovely JAY RAYNER: With yourself doesn’t count does it. https://twitter.com/jayrayner1/status/1622143353713315840 --- Follow us on Instagram: @everythingiscontentpod @beth_mccoll @ruchira_sharma @oenone --- Everything Is Content is produced by Faye Lawrence for We Are Grape Music: James Richardson Photography: Rebecca Need-Meenar Artwork: Joe Gardner Hosted on Acast.
