It’s Friday I’m Being More Dolly: Olivia Rodrigo, Dolly Parton & the Changing Face of Feminism (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What happens when women stop competing for the one seat at the table and start building their own tables? This week on Friday I’m in Bed, we’re talking feminism, female solidarity and the women who decided there was no point waiting for permission. First up, Daisy Chain Fields, the all-women music festival inspired by Lilith Fair, which brought together some of the biggest names in music and raised $20 million for organisations supporting women and girls. It got us thinking about Lilith Fair in
It's Friday I'm Not An Influencer: Influencer misogyny, AI Labelling and Authenticity (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Why has “influencer” become such a dirty word? This week on Friday I’m in Bed, we’re talking about influencer misogyny, the backlash against women making money online, and why we seem so determined to decide whether someone is “authentic” or not. We look at teenage TikTok sensation Ellie Ellis, who gained 750,000 followers in her first week before the reaction quickly turned from who is this girl? to accusations that she was a TikTok plant. Why are women influencers so often treated with suspici
It’s Friday I’m Kinda Chic: Trend Backlash, Lindsay Clancy and Forensic Fandom (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Some people watch a murder trial the way other people watch Love Island.

Everyone made a kinda chic carousel, and then everyone got told off for making a k
It’s Friday I’m Doing a Shirley Valentine: Andy Burnham’s TikTok, Libido After Menopause and Sex at 64 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Andy Burnham has been Prime Minister for about three weeks and appears to have spent most of that time on TikTok. The Guardian is calling him the UK's first TikTok PM. We're asking whether we actually want our politicians behaving like influencers, whether "authenticity" just means a good social media team, and whether social media has made us expect everyone to be entertaining, doctors and historians included. Then we're talking about women in their 50s and 60s rediscovering their libido. One h
It’s Friday I’m Economically Inactive: Ageism at Work, PIP and Jeremy Clarkson on Benefits (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Why can't women over 50 get hired? This week we're on ageism at work, the AI CV screening filtering experienced women out before a human ever sees them, and what happened when former Elle fashion editor Stacey Duguid admitted to 16 months out of work and more than 150 applications with nothing to show for it. Before that, Jeremy Clarkson reckons benefit claimants should send weekly thank you emails to taxpayers, so we go through what PIP actually pays, who actually claims it, and why gratitude k
