Zero Context with Grace Elise

8: Politics Has Zero Accountability & I Adore Olivia Dean

Finally, Grace finishes the episode with a view into the murder of John Lennon, talking about the history of the crime, people involved and the impact. Enjoy Chicks x

7: My First Crush Was A Superhero Intern & Parliament Nearly Blew Up

This week on Zero Context, we bond over childhood TV show nostalgia (and my questionable first crush) to the Gunpowder Plot of 1605, uncover one of Glasgow’s strangest crimes involving a cucumber, and somehow end up reflecting on what it actually feels like to grow up at 17. It’s chaotic, slightly concerning, and makes no sense - until it does.

6 - Awards, Amendments and Existential Friendships

In this episode of Zero Context, Grace somehow connects the Oscars, The American Constitution, True Crime, and a minor crisis about friendships - as you do. We start with Jessie Buckley, break down the basics of the American Constitution, then we deep dive the case of the Yorkshire Ripper, and finally, we talk about that strange stage of life where you have friends but you don’t have friends. Oscars, law, crime, and emotional instability. Welcome to Zero Context - where the topics are unrelated , the tone is chaotic, and somehow it all makes sense by the end.

5: Protests, Internet Chaos and My Brain at 2AM

In this episode of Zero Context, Grace dives into a chaotic mix of British History, Internet drama and slightly accidental philosophy. First, we rewind through the history of protests in the UK - from the Chartist movement to the Suffragettes, and how some of the rights we see as normal today actually came from people causing absolute political chaos in the past. Then it’s the media, where we talk about why governments are very stressed about TikTok, and how an app known for dance trends and pasta recipes somehow became a part of global political debates. The episode also takes a more serious turn discussing the impact of the case of Sarah Everard, and the national conversations it sparked about safety, policing, and trust in institutions. Finally, we spiral into a late-night life reflection about the way we talk to ourselves, the tiny voice in our heads that narrates everything we do, and why changing that voice might change how we experience life. History, media chaos, true crime, and the inner monologue we’re all pretending we don’t have. Welcome to Zero Context. Warning - Upsetting topics of Murder and Abduction

4: Brexit, Eurovision & One of Britain’s Most Infamous Crimes

In this episode of Zero Context, we cover a very mixed selection of topics. First, we break down Brexit in simple terms - what it actually means, why the UK voted to leave the EU, and why people are still debating it years later. Then we shift to something a little lighter: the Eurovision Song Contest and the UK’s 2026 entry. Has the UK basically given up on winning? Finally, we talk about one of the most well known criminal cases in Britain, the Soham murder, including the crimes committed by Ian Huntley and the recent developments following a prison attack in 2026. Politics, pop-culture, and true crime - it’s what we do best. Welcome back to Zero Context.
