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 after a big announcement from Abi, the girls get into Love is Blind UK, US politics and of course the latest Hollywood scandal.
In this episode, Charlie and Abi discuss the scary incel on Love is Blind UK, the weird way the US talks about their female politicians and whether or not it’s a tactic to even you should admit being a woman on the political stage.
Plus, they dive into the controversy and drama about the film adaptation of ‘It Ends With Us’ and try to piece together the rumours about Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni’s alleged feud.
You can find us at @thelisten_, @abigib, @imcharlieperry and send us a love letter here for us to read out next week. Follow Abi on Letterboxd @abigib.
