In today's social media-inspired episode, we spend 40 minutes lamenting the role of social media in our lives... The 'ins and outs' format sees us discuss themes ranging from making intentional decisions to comparing men to guinea pigs (you get me!?). Introspection is key, but at what cost? Why did we feel more grown-up at sixteen than we do now? Join us as we reflect on new phases of life, feelings of stagnation and developing meaningful relationships.

Do you feel frustratingly limited by party politics? Were you a radical at 15? Can you even say anything anymore? If you resonate with any of these questions, we get you! Join us in today's episode where we discuss topics ranging from identity politics and mapping political identity to phone addictions and wokes and jokes. This episode is slightly reminiscent of our older episodes, as whilst our relationship with the world may have changed, our personal politics largely have not!

This episode appeals to all the self-proclaimed girls' girls, who can't quite believe the value of the female friendships in their lives but feel like hypocrites every time a man clambers into the picture - WE GET YOU! Centering discussions of meaningful relationships, identity and desire, this episode seeks to banish the shame and feminine notions of passivity blocking women from living full, unapologetic lives. This conversation is steered through anecdotes about men (shock, horror!) and metaphors about 'emotional hostesses' running around crowded kitchens with aprons tied so tightly that they aren't allowing themselves to breathe - you get me?

Is it ever justifiable to harbour contempt towards men as a women? Is it an unfair generalisation to make, and where does it stem from? Today's episode discusses the concept of reactionary misandry, the impacts of sexual harassment from a young age and heteronormative dating. Sometimes you have to admit the manhaters have a bit of a point - you get me?

Open your pantries and grab the pickle jar, because it's time to talk about girl dinner! Today's episode delves into the way social media diminishes women through seemingly harmless 'trends', the consequent normalisation of feeling bad and how this might affect your relationships. We discuss the notion of reclaiming reductionist stereotypes and the potential risks of encouraging poor lifestyle choices under the guise of being silly little girls driven into the pits of hell by the internet - you get me?

Change is good... which is why we have a new look! Join us in today's rebranded podcast as we talk all things change, letting go and developing your best self. If you are holding on to emotions and concepts that no longer serve you, we hope you can take something from our anecdotes and experiences. We should probably stop replaying cringe scenarios in our heads before we go to sleep - you get me?

This episode, we are broadcasting straight from the car (congrats Elif for passing!) as we discuss self-consciousness, growing up as a woman with a body and the anxiety this can provoke. We raise the topics of gratitude and passion as we navigate a world permeated by internalised misogyny and search for the love wherever we can.

We welcome you back to Opinionated and Underrated as we discuss the navigation of relationships as a woman, the superficiality of male friendships and the importance of human connection. As the effects of patriarchy are all-pervasive, it is no wonder that our daily interactions are affected by femininity and the power imbalance it is a part of. After a leave of absence, we are overjoyed to be back and hope you are too! You can get involved in the conversation via our social medias:

To mark the 2-year anniversary of 'Opinionated and Underrated', we delve into the shameful culture of victim blaming surrounding reporting. While we would like to think we are proof of a new 'progressive age', our generation has proved us otherwise, and so we discuss the problematic protection of predators and how to identify this dynamic. Boundaries, victimisation and violation remain ungendered, and we explore how the patriarchy can interact with this experience. To those concerned that they may be a victim of violation to any extent, please reach out to the relevant organisations (below). You are not alone.

Due to the devastating constitutional overturning of Roe V Wade by the US Supreme Court, we discuss the evolution of our current political sphere into a place where such madness is possible, the fundamental right to autonomy and the ethics of abortion and adoption. As always, our points are strongly reinforced by the interaction from our Instagram polls and followers' messages. To our American listeners and everyone worldwide affected by this disgrace, we are so sorry; please stay as safe as possible and reach out to us and the relevant organisations (see below).

The government's band-aid approach to the UK's alleged 'obesity epidemic' through placing calories on menus has been a recent point of controversy, raising conversations around eating disorders, gym culture and the government's general failures in regard to providing adequate access to fresh produce. With the help of the engagement of our Instagram followers via our polls, we discuss the omnipresence of diet culture and its place in society and pop culture.

The girls that get it, get it... Today, we're discussing all the side effects of the relationship between femininity and academia: impostor syndrome, male validation vs academic validation, aesthetic presentation, sexualisation and appeasing assumed standards. Much of the conversation is guided, as always, by the insight of our Instagram followers from our independently conducted polls, which you can get involved in at:

In light of the discoveries and implications of the parties at 10 Downing St., we return to the mics to discuss the hypocrisy and inadequacy within the Conservative Party, its reflections on UK politics and how distressing it is that the masses are only just starting to share these opinions. As always, we discuss polls conducted on our Instagram story by our listeners and reference current news stories to shape our moderately irritated political sphiel!

In true Opinionated & Underrated fashion, we're breaking our hiatus with a refreshed and ever-relevant conversation around rape culture. Join us in this episode where we discuss the implications of rape culture in our lives, the ways in which it manifests, generational attitudes and rape culture within a school/professional environment. Much of this episode draws on feedback from our listeners who participated in a number of honest polls about their experiences and opinions, with some prompts proving to be very divisive.

WE'RE CANCELLED! Only joking...not yet ;) But isn't it annoying when people shout that as if it's an achievement? In this episode, we address how we use shame as a form of control, how excessively criticising cancel culture can deny accountability, your presence in an online space and the gravity an online herd mentality can hold. As always, we discuss insights shared from the polls on our instagram story that you can get involved with at @opinionatedandunderrated!

*TRIGGER WARNING – EATING DISORDERS* It’s time to acknowledge how shackled all women are by diet culture, and how this exists as a form of oppression that operates on an extremely dangerous level. Did your mother make an offhand comment about her shrinking appetite that manifested its way onto you? We thought so. Unsurprisingly, such experiences make it incredibly easy to pass our awful self-image from one person to another and build up a vicious whirlpool of self-hatred. With the anecdotal and valuable insight of our instagram followers, we tackle many branches of this spiral and shed light on a topic, that systems like patriarchy, would prefer to keep under wraps...

With a narrow loss at the euros under our belt, we return off-schedule to rave about the football match and how it reflects on england as a nation! We discuss the glorification of england, the problems with the violence brought on by football, and the colonial history of britain and its monarchy. We address the opinions of our football-fan listeners and tackle the overarching question of whether we should be proud to be british.

Happy pride month! In this episode, we explore the history and beginnings of pride, as we delve into the intersection of queerness and upholding white supremacy, as well as rainbow capitalism, invalidating discourse, fetishisation and gender fluidity. Throughout this discussion, we reference sobering statistics and the harsh reality of the queer experience in 2021.
