Join us as we dive into the topics that keep us talking long after the group chat goes quiet.
Each episode, your hosts Lucy Bell and Phoebe Whittle (two friends - yes, groundbreaking!) start in the shallow end, before deep-diving into the topic of the week.
We hand-pick each subject, from our obsession with beauty and wellness trends to navigating ambition and careers, these are the conversations filling our WhatsApp inboxes and flooding our social media feeds.
We’re here to break down pop culture moments and movements, question the trends we can’t seem to escape, and explore our thoughts along the way. So, are we all underplaying it… or is it really that deep?
Let’s talk about it!

The Shallow Take: The pill is just a contraceptive…
In our very first guest episode (!!), we’re joined by menstrual health advocate @bethanwalters to unpack the real story behind the pill.
We’ve been prescribed it young, for cramps, acne, “regulating” our cycles - often without questioning what it’s really doing in our bodies. So is it even about preventing pregnancy anymore? Have we normalised taking hormonal birth control without understanding the impact?
We talk period pain, medical gaslighting, and ask the big one: should we be taking it at all?
Let’s dive in.
