It’s Friday I’m Here for a Walk in the Park
This week on Friday I’m in Bed, we’re looking at the week’s most questionable advertising decisions, and asking why the people writing the copy never seem to include anyone who might actually be affected by it. We start with Nike, who put a sign outside their Boston store ahead of the city’s marathon that said…

It’s Friday I’m Not Too Old For Coachella
Coachella just happened and TFI Friday is back on our screens, so naturally we had a lot to say about both. We’re unpacking the biggest moments from the desert festival, from Sabrina Carpenter’s full-blown Hollywood spectacular to Justin Bieber sitting at a laptop in a hoodie scrolling through YouTube videos of his younger self. The…

It’s Friday I’m Over the Moon
This week on Friday I’m in Bed, we’ve got two stories that are both, underneath it all, about the same question: who gets celebrated, who gets forgiven, and why does the answer always seem to depend on who you are? Gem kicks us off with the Artemis II mission, because four astronauts are literally on…

It’s Friday I’m Team Chappell Roan
This week on Friday I’m in Bed, we’re talking about boundaries – who’s allowed to set them and who gets punished for it. Kate kicks us off with Chappell Roan and the security guard incident that’s dominated everyone’s feed. Causing international outrage, 125+ articles in two days, and a ban from a festival she was…

It’s Friday I’m Choosing Beavers
This week we’re talking about two things that seem completely unrelated but both come down to the same question: who’s selling you something, and should you be buying it? We start with Harry Styles on Saturday Night Live and the Make America Healthy Again hospital sketch that had us howling. It parodies a hospital where…

It’s Friday I’m Over the Manosphere
Louis Theroux has taken Netflix inside the manosphere — and everyone has an opinion. This week we’re digging into whether shining a light on the grifters and their carefully curated personas actually helps, or whether it just gives them another platform. We’re talking about the contradictions (profiting off women while claiming to despise them), the…

It’s Friday, I’m Not Obeying Anyone
Has International Women’s Day lost its edge? This week, Gem and Kate dig into the good, the bad and the ugly of IWD. From brands trying to sell us candles instead of equality, to the women-led cooperatives Gem visited in Morocco that show what the day is really about. Plus, Timothée Chalamet ruffled feathers by…

It’s Friday I’m More Than a Type
This week on Friday I’m in Bed, we’re diving into one big topic — what Love is Blind is accidentally revealing about incel culture, the “Pilates princess” myth, and what women actually want versus what men have been told we want. It all kicked off with Chris and Jessica on the current series of Love…

It’s Friday I’m Doing it on My Own Terms
This week we’re tackling three stories that all circle around the same big questions — who has a duty of care, who gets to tell someone else’s story, and what happens when women just get on with it. We start with the BAFTAs and the moment that’s dominated the conversation all week. During the ceremony,…

It’s Friday I’m Shedding and Rebelling
This week we’re coming in hot with three topics that on the surface look completely different but somehow all end up in the same place, who gets to decide what women do, where women belong, and what women should be. We kick off with Reform UK’s Nigel Farage and his suggestion that working from home…
