The SheerLuxe Podcast

Which Netflix thriller truly deserves the crown right now: Keira Knightley’s assassin drama ‘Black Doves’ or Keri Russell’s political powerhouse ‘The Diplomat’? This week on the SheerLuxe Podcast, Charlotte Collins is joined by Josh and Hodge for a late-afternoon, unfiltered debrief covering travel highlights, game-changing aesthetic treatments, binge-worthy television and hard-hitting cultural accountability.
First, Hodge shares the details of her half-term family getaway across the Dolomites and Venice – from hiking and hotel pool games to why her children spent the trip attaching wooden pegs to their parents' jackets undetected. Turning to beauty, the trio discuss the latest aesthetic treatments, including Hodge’s review of the new needle-free XERF and Josh’s love for collagen-stimulating HArmonyCa. 
In culture, the trio debate the best television currently streaming: Keira Knightley and Ben Whishaw in ‘Black Doves’ versus Keri Russell in ‘The Diplomat’. They also unpack Jon Ronson’s latest investigative book ‘The Castle’ and its look at modern masculinity, before diving into their current wardrobe staples.
Later, the group tackle a more serious topic following Russell Brand's sentencing and the lifted super-injunction around David Walliams. The team examine the role of bystander culture across different industries, the ongoing call for vocal male allies and how power imbalances continue to protect the wrong people, touching on ‘Prima Facie’ and the realities of consent.

What does it actually take to catch and cook all 37,000 species of fish on earth – and what does a deep-fried goldfish actually taste like? This week on the SLMan Podcast, Harvey and Adam are joined by chef, food creator, and the UK’s first certified fish sommelier, Andrej Urosevic (@AndrejCooksFish on Instagram), to talk about leaving corporate finance, viral fame and the cardinal rules of cooking seafood.
Following a debrief on Adam’s trip to Athens (complete with an awkward open-plan hotel bathroom), the team dive into Andrej’s journey: from burning his corporate bridges at 29 and working the counter at Hackney's Fin and Flounder to racking up millions of views overnight. Now on a quest to cook every single fish on the planet, Andrej reveals London's best seafood spots, explains why top-tier sushi isn't actually about the fish and settles once and for all which species taste the best… and the worst.
After surviving a quickfire round on barbecue sins, chippy debates and the reality of frying aquarium pets, the trio debate whether clapping on planes is an unforgivable crime and share the products they're currently loving. Finally, they tackle the ultimate room dilemma: would you rather be the funniest guy in the room or the most respected?

Is getting back with your ex after ten years romantic or a relationship red flag? This week on the LuxeGen Group Chat, we're getting into Ariana Grande’s rekindled romance with ex-boyfriend Ricky following their hard launch online. We also need to talk about the rise of spicy novels and ‘romantasy’ books, with BookTok turning the fantasy romance genre into a full-blown cultural phenomenon. From ‘A Court of Thorns & Roses’ to Kindle-worthy reads that have everyone blushing, why are we all so obsessed?
Plus, two new words of the year have landed – and they're giving Gen Z. We discuss whether the slang really deserves the recognition and reveal the words we'd nominate ourselves. Jade Jemima also joins us to share the story behind her new brand, Olarié, and why she wanted to bring a more bohemian, fashion-forward aesthetic to ski wear. Expect more pop culture hot takes, fashion discoveries and all the things currently on our radar.
Which topic are you most invested in? Plus, what would your personal word of the year be?

What do you do when you discover your closest friends have a group chat without you? This week on the SheerLuxe Podcast, Sapna, Mia and Lucia are back behind the microphone to tackle friendship group betrayals, messy dating boundaries and pop-culture debates.
First, the team get into the ultimate seasonal divide: is putting your Christmas tree up on 1st November too soon or top-tier festive joy? Next, Mia and Lucia share their current high-street shopping wish lists, from H&M to Massimo Dutti, before reminiscing about their shared teenage obsession of wanting to be model scouted. They also deep dive all the Sephora exclusives that are actually worth the hype.
Later, the trio debate the Sydney Sweeney lingerie advert backlash, before reacting to Kim Kardashian’s 40-strong personality trait manifest list. They also discuss the lost art of boredom and why habit stacking is secretly wrecking our cortisol levels. Finally, the team weigh in on Harry Styles’ viral concert comments about exes, debating whether you should ever tell someone not to marry their fiancé.

Would you pay £100 for a Zara coat in a charity shop – and is vintage shopping losing its appeal? This week on the LuxeGen Group Chat, we're getting into the debates everyone has an opinion on, from the rising prices of second-hand fashion to whether resellers are ruining the thrill of finding a proper vintage gem. We're also unpacking the latest Tom Brady, Candice Swanepoel and Joan Smalls drama and figuring out who's really in the wrong.Plus, are brands getting more adventurous with their ambassadors? We're looking at unexpected campaigns featuring comedians, including Bowen Yang for Estée Lauder and the SharkNinja collaboration you wouldn’t expect. Plus, how did John Summit turn a suitcase-burning moment into a job title with Away? We also debate whether pedestrianising Oxford Street will make it a better shopping destination – or just even more crowded. Then there's the big relationship dilemma: would you ever date a friend's ex? We round things off with what we're wearing and loving right now, plus a very enthusiastic ‘Hunger Games’ discussion. Which of our opinions do you agree with – or were we completely wrong?
