Description

Usually on the podcast I speak to people about the culture they love that has been unfairly dismissed, but I’m also interested in talking to the artists who created that work. This week we're starting an "indie twee" investigation. This is the movement that brought us tote bags, and ukuleles, and arguably, adult colouring books; it brought us the Juno soundtrack, and Zooey Deschanel, and dressing like a 1950s secretary, but despite how massive indie twee was, there’s actually not that much about it from the people who were actually there.  So for the next two episodes I’m going to be investigating tweeness in all its forms, talking to two creators: the first is Jof Owen, from The Boy Least Likely To, and the second is Rebecca Taylor aka Self Esteem. This episode with Jof is just as lovely as his three-legged Sindy horsePlaylist for this week's episode: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7IyixEh4KNRZgMm2ylfmWy?si=98553ba847b949b0 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Sick of feeling guilty about the books you should be reading, but aren’t? Annoyed that the books you read don’t seem to “count” as literature? Join author and journalist Caroline O’Donoghue as she discovers the chick-lit classics her guests were raised on, from schmaltzy romances to family comedies to bodice-ripping dramas. We talk to authors, fans and cultural critics about what makes chick-lit tick, and investigate why it’s so often overlooked.
