Love Island Summer 2021: Season 7

Thongs, egregious bikini tops, and bizarre takes on the English language as love is sought amid the embers of modern romance: Zoe is convinced that Love Island is the most telling social document of our time, while Tom is... forced to agree. Partially. Tune in for a deeper dive on Love Island's gender, race and class politics - oh, and its aesthetics too – than you're likely to find elsewhere (some might say for good reason).

Om Podcasten

A podcast for the culturally curious that turns a critical eye on some of the most-hyped plays, books, films and music in recent years and asks where they came from and what they tell us about culture today. Zoe Strimpel is a historian of gender and intimacy, Sunday Telegraph columnist and sincere contrarian. Tom Stammers is a fair-minded historian of 19th century France and a lecturer in European history at Durham University - who nonetheless knows how to turn the screw when necessary. They've been yammering about culture together since university.
