We’ve had a busy week being completely and utterly obsessed with Lily Allen’s new album - West End Girl - and we mean TRULY OBSESSED.

We unpack Lily’s radical honesty on the album which narrates the breakdown of her marriage. We dive into her cultural trailblazer status - and just how brave she is to put her relationship under the microscope...

Our pop-culture chat continues - as we discuss Nelly Furtado’s retirement from music and the way people have tied her decision to leave music to recent body-shaming headlines. Is it taking the narrative away from her? And why is the music industry so toxic for “older” women?

Do you have thoughts on Lily or Nelly? We want to hear from you - email us on shouldideletethatpod@gmail.com

The UK has the worst paternity leave offering in Europe and the wider implication of this affects everyone, whether you have kids or not.

Today we spoke to Alex Lloyd-Hunter from The Dad Shift and Rebecca Horne from Pregnant Then Screwed about their joint campaign ‘UK Paternity Leave is a Mother F**KER’

We spoke about how the UK’s paternity leave offering is disastrous for mums, dads and kids - but also the devastating wider cultural impact it has on the gender pay gap, discrimination and the workforce.

We have a window of political opportunity now as the government is undertaking a review of parental leave. Get engaged with The Dad Shift and Pregnant Then Screwed to see how you can help make a change.

SIGN THE OPEN LETTER - The Dad Shift are calling on the new Secretary of State for Business Peter Kyle MP to prioritise making a paternity leave policy that's fit for the 21st century

The government have also opened a new consultation called 'Make Work Pay' looking at building enhanced dismissal protections for pregnant women and new mothers. Pregnant Then Screwed will be sharing information on how to engage on their pages in the coming weeks.

Another day, another day not being mysterious…

On today’s Just Us - Em’s found a silly online quiz for us to play. We discuss how academic success is not a indicator of intelligence, and we find out that Al has an affinity with a certain ubiquitous bird…

Btw - if you’re like Al and are counting down til Christmas - you’ll be thrilled to know we recorded this LAST week and it’s actually only nine Fridays til Christmas. If you’re like Em… sorry for the existential crisis.
