About this listen

Friends and obsessives Eve and Ksenia examine the parasocial relationships that define our weeks, months, and lives. Each episode is a lighthearted yet profound look into the prominent(ish) figures who have been living in our heads rent free and what they can teach us about culture, relationships, and our own selves.

  • Everything We Know About Dolly Alderton

    Everything We Know About Dolly Alderton
    May 7 2025
    A big one today ladies a gents. We look at Dolly (alias Hannah) Alderton arch chronicler of millennial friendship and love. We both Dolly to bits and any of our more constructive feedback comes from a place of deep understanding of her work and we hope should she see this she understands. Although we heard of her adaption of Pride and Prejudice with trepidation, we will go into watching it with open hearts and minds. Furthermore, I expect a lot of it comes from cultural cringe. Dolly We Love You <3

    Wow Ksenia and Eve - ever on trend are discussing BBC's THE TRAITORS! Only a cool fortnight after it finished. But the series finale was watched by 7 MILLION people so assuming it must be of at least some interest. The sound is better this week as we were back at your recording studio. Ksenia's living room. Who was your favourite traitor? Biggest parasocial? We also solve GENDER, JOAN DIDION, AND THE BRITISH CLASS SYSTEM. All in a day's work.

    We are really late sorry. The sound is also bad. See this as an incredible overview of an exciting year of people developing parasocial and paranormal relationships. We dive into the occult as well as Sabrina Carpenter. Can you even imagine? But the good news is, we will be back to recording in person very soon. Thank for listening legends. Shout out to Aunty Kim <3
