The White Lotus mirror effect

Hello! On today’s show: The White Lotus is turning a mirror onto female friendships. And you could say it’s not the most flattering reflection. Why are platonic relationships suffering so much in 2025? According to The Independent, our friendships may be deteriorating due to a lack of ‘deep’ conversations. But first - we gotta talk about Meghan Markle’s new lifestyle show… On today’s episode, Zara recommended ‘There’s Only One Aimee Lou Wood’ in The Cut. Huge thanks to Elite Eleven for making this episode of Shameless possible. Also - shout out to Xero! This episode was produced by Eilish Gilligan. Want to support our show?

Absolutely love the concept and topic and have been listening for years on and off. Unfortunately hosts frequently dissolve into unprofessional, offputting, and long fits of giggling and I find myself having to wait for seconds or even minutes for them to get back on topic. Have had to take long breaks from listening for this reason which is such a shame because I love their work. The odd joke now and again is fine but sometimes the pauses are so long I just end up getting bored and annoyed and listening to something else. Please edit these down/ out, I would appreciate it.
