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.

After Charlie is done yelling at her smart speaker, on the agenda this week are misleading trailers and the dramatic change in gig etiquette.
Abi and Charlie discuss the new Leigh Miller biopic starring Kate Winslet, and how its own trailer has done it so dirty. Plus, we dive into the tweets that have lifted the lid on the insane world of gigs in 2024, the tradition that one Gen-Z had deemed “a Tik Tok trend” and what that says about our supposedly most savvy generation.
You can find us at @thelisten_, @abigib, @imcharlieperry and send us a love letter here for us to read out next week.
