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 features a serious overanalysis of Challengers (only proper spoilers at 29:25 - 31:03).
Charlie and Abi discuss Challengers' female power fantasy and how they nailed the tennis elements. Plus, they discuss Met Gala misconceptions and the hilarious backstory to Anne Hathaway’s new romcom.
You can find us at @thelisten_, @abigib, @imcharlieperry and send us a love letter here for us to read out next week.
