We start off with an analysis of Jake Gyllenhaal's new Esquire profile - and the first time he spoke out about Taylor Swift rerecording Red - before a quick chat about Coachella who will now have no Covid restrictions in place for attendees.And then, the main event: we talk about Pam and Tommy, the ethics of releasing a show about a leaked sex tape (without the consent of Pamela Anderson!), and take a wee trip down memory lane about the way the media has violated celebrities since basically the beginning of the internet.As always, a big shout out to Neon - literally the best NZ streaming service - for making this episode of Culture Vulture possible.

Listen to the full episode on Spotify here. And Apple Podcasts here. We start off with an extremely chaotic chat about Ye - is he ok? Is this a PR stunt? Should we care? How long until everyone tunes out? And then we dive into a far more intellectual chat about the TikTokification of terms like "Lovebombing" and "gaslighting," when "the ick" is actually a red flag, and of course, the Tinder Swindler.As always, a big shout out to Neon - literally the best NZ streaming service - for making this episode of Culture Vulture possible.

This week we unpack ALL the rumours and criticisms surrounding Season 2 of Euphoria and its creator Sam Levinson. Are we holding Euphoria to an extremely high standard because we were so obsessed with Season 1????? Are these facts to back up the intense TikTok slamming??? Do we wait with bated breath for every new episode anyway???As always, a big shout out to Neon - literally the best NZ streaming service - for making this episode of Culture Vulture possible.

This week before we even get into the episode Liv spills a HUGE secret (one you won't want to miss.) Then we talk about Sydney Sweeney, a potential Fyre Festival 2.0, someone crashing into Taylor Swifts house and why rap lyrics shouldn't be used as evidence in court.AND THEN THE MAIN EVENT - JOE ROGAN VS SPOTIFY and the idea that when you pay someone to be on your platform you have more of a responsibility to keep other people safe than if they were just uploading podcasts themselves.As always, a big shout out to Neon - literally the best NZ streaming service - for making this episode of Culture Vulture possible.
