Make Love Island Great Again

Tonight, on Clitical Theory, a new bombshell (Lena) enters the villa (her own home), to discuss ALL THINGS LOVE ISLAND with your (semi-)regular hosts, Pip and Becca. In honour of Liberty, we get MESSSSSYYYYYYYYYYY. Structure? No! Analysis? No! Hard-hitting reportage? No! Toxic femininity? HELL FUCKING YES. We sort of deep dive into why this series of Love Island was mainly rubbish (even though we watched literally every episode + unseen bits + aftersun +++++ PIP LISTENS TO THE PODCAST) but mainly just give you exactly what you could have got off Twitter for the last 8 weeks. Some of the best bits of this pod got lost due to our ineptitude, in a Jake-esque move, we just couldn't be bothered to go through the miniscule effort it would have taken to save them, because frankly we don't like you guys enough. If this isn't the best way to comeback from our completely unannounced summer hiatus, we don't know what is!! Ur welcome xoxo --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/philippa-monk/message

Gaslight, Gatekeep, Gay Marriage

Hey losers, sorry this episode took a while to come out but we had to take some much needed #selfcare time to get over the fact that Bimini was robbed (but 3 cheers for our queen Symone across the pond). This week, we're discussing why RuPaul's Drag Race is both the greatest show on earth and a masterclass in late-stage capitalism, what's lost when a subculture goes mainstream, and Pip's plans for getting gay married. If ur not a fan of Drag Race then take a long hard look at urself and think about ur actions, or skip to the last half of the pod for some hot debate on why straight weddings are actually very camp. Yas hunty queen slay the house down boots yes god skinny legend werk mama!!!!!!!!! xoxo --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/philippa-monk/message

What's your sign? I'm a Virg-hoe

Hi losers - hope everyone feels cleansed and enlightened after the supermoon in Scorpio!! This week, we're discussing astrology and why we love it, even though we secretly know it is total and utter bollocks (or is it?). Whether you're a Libra who can't decide which of our pod episodes to listen to, or a Capricorn who thinks we should just grow up and get real jobs, we guarantee u will enjoy our hot takes - and if you don't, you might at least have fun listening to our thoughts on why cockapoos should be euthanised. Love and light from your fav Taurus-Sagittarius duo xo --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/philippa-monk/message

Anti-VaccHER

Before you get your knickers in a twist NO, in spite of the title this is NOT an anti-vaccine podcast. We are both pro-vax and would like to encourage you all to go n get your jabs so that we can go out and drink excessive amounts of alcohol with our mates, ok?  Now that's over with, in this ep we discuss the not-so-recent (though recent at time of recording - and we OOP) anti-lockdown protests in London, the ideology behind those protests, the Police, Crime, Courts and Sentencing Bill and the relationship between anti-vaccine and 'my body, my choice'. Bit of a harder hitting one but we can't be all fun and games all the time ok !!! (don't worry next week we'll probably do our star signs or something idk hehe)  Check out our Patreon for reading notes + the full document of notes submitted by our anti-vaccer friend of pod: https://www.patreon.com/cliticaltheory  Lots of love!  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/philippa-monk/message

Women Do Owe You Petty

Oops! It's been a hot minute due to some unfortunate audio issues that we're too hot and dumb to sort but we're BACK, and it's a biggun Today we're joined by friend of the pod Lena to discuss the biggest girlboss bust up since the Falklands: Florence Given versus Chidera Eggerue. Hope you enjoy our deep dive into the Instagram influencer industrial complex. Btw, if anyone from the publishing world is listening, NO we DON'T have any integrity, and we'd love to get The Clitical Theory Guide: Queefing as Praxis in bookshops ASAP so we can also be skyrocketed into the headlines by plagiarism accusations. Lots of love xox PS - Can't believe we forgot to mention that Florence Thatcher also did an ad for TINDER - make of THAT what you will PPS - Support us on Patreon if you're enjoying the show: https://www.patreon.com/cliticaltheory --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/philippa-monk/message
