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.

This week, Charlie and Abi share the rundown of the latest books, TV and films they’ve been devouring… and mainly not enjoying.
Abi discusses the struggles of sick day streaming and the absolutely bizarre choice of film she chose from her sickbed; Charlie shares her review of Speak No Evil and James McAvoy’s interesting acting choices and Abi shares her review of the much-anticipated adult novel from Jacqueline Wilson.
Plus, the girls discuss the notion of ‘dumb jobs’ and selling out, why we’re still trying to prove ourselves with our job titles and how the pressure of failure has shaped our careers.
You can find us at @thelisten_, @abigib, @imcharlieperry and send us a love letter here for us to read out next week.
