The Listen is a weekly conversation between friends and colleagues, Abi Gibson and Charlie Perry, who share their observations and overanalysis of pop culture, current affairs, and their own lives. Think of it as a nostalgic, glossy magazine but a lot less toxic and with a lot more intellect.
Founder of Astrid Productions, Charlie, and Senior Producer, Abi, have been producing your favourite podcasts for years but now they’re in front of the mic. Each week they gather three stories to keep you in the know about the things that matter and crucially… the things that don’t.

In the week we angered the TikTok Men Rights Activists again, Abi and Charlie discuss the latest dystopian film ‘Civil War’, the era of hot rodent boyfriends and discuss whether they are rat-faced or pig-faced.
Plus, they discuss the unnecessary reactions to Luke Newton’s girlfriend reveal and the cult of the week that has captured the tweens of the Western world.
You can find us at @thelisten_, @abigib, @imcharlieperry and send us a love letter here for us to read out next week.
