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.

We start this week with people lazily posing at monuments and a review of the book of the summer, Big Swiss.
Charlie and Abi go on to discuss the audacity of Aaron Taylor-Johnson going out in public without his wedding ring, The Cut’s fascinating look in the money spent by women to look hot into their 60s and why ultimately we plan on being wrinkly but glamorous old women.
Of course, we also have our Cult of the Week which is, frankly, a food trend that must die.
You can find us at @thelisten_, @abigib, @imcharlieperry and send us a love letter here for us to read out next week.
