• Just Us: The brilliance of Lily Allen, Nelly Furtado’s retirement and Al’s melancholy playlist

  We’ve had a busy week being completely and utterly obsessed with Lily Allen’s new album - West End Girl - and we mean TRULY OBSESSED. We unpack Lily’s radical honesty on the album which narrates the breakdown of her marriage. We dive into her cultural trailblazer status - and just how brave she is to put her relationship under the microscope...Our pop-culture chat continues - as we discuss Nelly Furtado’s retirement from music and the way people have tied her decision to leave music to recent body-shaming headlines. Is it taking the narrative away from her? And why is the music industry so toxic for “older” women? Do you have thoughts on Lily or Nelly?

• It's not just about dads - paternity leave is political

  The UK has the worst paternity leave offering in Europe and the wider implication of this affects everyone, whether you have kids or not. Today we spoke to Alex Lloyd-Hunter from The Dad Shift and Rebecca Horne from Pregnant Then Screwed about their joint campaign ‘UK Paternity Leave is a Mother F**KER’ We spoke about how the UK’s paternity leave offering is disastrous for mums, dads and kids - but also the devastating wider cultural impact it has on the gender pay gap, discrimination and the workforce. We have a window of political opportunity now as the government is undertaking a review of parental leave.

• Are you really ‘fine’? Estelle Bingham on healing your inner child

  How are you… really? Do you say ‘I’m fine’ - when you’re not? This week we’re joined by holistic therapist and fourth-generation psychic, Estelle Bingham, who believes that ‘fine’ might just be a cover story. From the very beginning, we went deep… talking about trusting the universe, finding more joy in the everyday, and what it means to reconnect with your inner child.This conversation surprised us. It got emotional, it went to places we didn’t expect, and there was even a bit of a role reversal between Em and Al… Estelle opened up something in us, and we have a feeling she might do the same for you.Find out more about Estelle’s work at https://estellebingham.com/ Follow @estelle.bingham on InstagramEstelle’s podcast Love Purpose Connection is available on all podcast platforms and on YouTubeBuy your copy of Estelle’s book - Manifest Your True EssenceIf you want to get in touch you can email us on [email protected] Follow us on Instagram:@shouldideletethat@em_clarkson@alexlight_ldnShould I Delete That is produced by Faye LawrenceStudio Manager: Elliott MckayVideo Editor: Celia GomezSocial Media Manager: Sarah EnglishMusic: Alex Andrew Hosted on Acast.

• Just Us: Taylor Swift, Victoria Beckham and the suffering of being a woman

  In the time since we last recorded a Just Us - Taylor Swift has released a new album. So today, our resident semi-swiftie (Em) guides our non-swiftie (Al) through The Life of a Showgirl and we discuss the noise and critique surrounding the album. Victoria Beckham has also released a Netflix documentary - we discuss the term ‘too posh to push’ which was popularised in 1999 when she gave birth to her son Brooklyn by c-section. Why do women equate parenthood with suffering - and do men feel the same? We’d love you to join the conversation - you can email us on [email protected] Follow us on Instagram:@shouldideletethat@em_clarkson@alexlight_ldnShould I Delete That is produced by Faye LawrenceStudio Manager: Elliott MckayVideo Editor: Celia GomezSocial Media Manager: Sarah EnglishMusic: Alex Andrew Hosted on Acast.
