    How copycat culture took over fashion and beauty
    Nov 27 2025
    You might have seen that earlier this month, MCo Beauty had a two-day pop-up in New York that drew huge crowds. While the Australian beauty brand is known for duping other brands’ products, this pop-up went one step further by duping Sephora, right down to handing out black and white striped bags to customers that looked almost identical to Sephora’s. In today’s Friday episode with Mads and Rhi, we deep dive into copycat culture and how it took over fashion and culture. Love the podcast? You'll adore our weekly newsletter, too.

  • Product placement: Why it’s everywhere in 2025

    Product placement: Why it’s everywhere in 2025
    Nov 13 2025
    After watching the latest season of Nobody Wants This, we ended up having a lot of back and forth on our Slack channel about how product placement works (if you’ve yet to see the show, there is a lot of very obvious product placement in Season Three). We dive deep in today’s episode, exploring the history of product placement, why there’s such a negative sentiment around it, and why both brands and productions are using it so much in 2025.
