This week on Zero Context, we bond over childhood TV show nostalgia (and my questionable first crush) to the Gunpowder Plot of 1605, uncover one of Glasgow’s strangest crimes involving a cucumber, and somehow end up reflecting on what it actually feels like to grow up at 17.

It’s chaotic, slightly concerning, and makes no sense - until it does.

In this episode of Zero Context, Grace somehow connects the Oscars, The American Constitution, True Crime, and a minor crisis about friendships - as you do. We start with Jessie Buckley, break down the basics of the American Constitution, then we deep dive the case of the Yorkshire Ripper, and finally, we talk about that strange stage of life where you have friends but you don’t have friends.

Oscars, law, crime, and emotional instability.

Welcome to Zero Context - where the topics are unrelated , the tone is chaotic, and somehow it all makes sense by the end.

In this episode of Zero Context, we cover a very mixed selection of topics.

First, we break down Brexit in simple terms - what it actually means, why the UK voted to leave the EU, and why people are still debating it years later.

Then we shift to something a little lighter: the Eurovision Song Contest and the UK’s 2026 entry. Has the UK basically given up on winning?

Finally, we talk about one of the most well known criminal cases in Britain, the Soham murder, including the crimes committed by Ian Huntley and the recent developments following a prison attack in 2026.

Politics, pop-culture, and true crime - it’s what we do best.

Welcome back to Zero Context.

In this episode of Zero Context, we attempt to unpack the chaos of modern life.

First, a simple breakdown of the US-Iran-Isreal situation and why global tensions are rising. Then we look closer to home at why university in the UK costs over £27,000 and why student loans are such a huge political debate.

We end up with a reflection on friendships changing as you grow up and why that might be a normal part of life - even if it feels strange at the time.

Finally, we talk about the internets favourite cultural argument: nepotism babies - and why celebrities keep reigniting the discussion about privilege and access.

This episode of Zero Context, we start at the BRIT awards (because obviously), spiral into the theatre of modern politics featuring names like Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak, and somehow end up questioning whether "girl dinner" is empowerment or just burnout in a cute font.

We’re talking

- Award Shows as performance art

- Politics as reality TV with consequences

- Why ‘bed rotting’ has better branding than most start ups

- And whether we actually healed…or just rebranded

Its chaotic. It’s self-aware. It’s slightly unhinged but intentional.

Welcome to Episode 2.
