    UNPACKED: Famesick - Lena Dunham
    May 16 2026
    If you, like us, are obsessed with Lena Dunham's latest book Famesick, we're here for you with this special episode. You're welcome. The Girls creator who became the ‘voice of a generation’ is back with a second memoir and Mia, Holly, Amelia and Em are discussing why the world is finally ready to hear her side of the story. From the heights of toxic fame to the depths of chronic illness, her relationship with Jack Antonoff and highly publicised falling-out with showrunner Jenni Konner - we're unpacking it all. Plus, did her parents save her from the darker side of fame or did they actually stop her from ever growing up? We have thoughts. Whether you’re rewatching Girls for the tenth time or you’re reading her memoir like a novel, this is the conversation you’ve been waiting for.
