Join us as we dive into the topics that keep us talking long after the group chat goes quiet.
Each episode, your hosts Lucy Bell and Phoebe Whittle (two friends - yes, groundbreaking!) start in the shallow end, before deep-diving into the topic of the week.
We hand-pick each subject, from our obsession with beauty and wellness trends to navigating ambition and careers, these are the conversations filling our WhatsApp inboxes and flooding our social media feeds.
We’re here to break down pop culture moments and movements, question the trends we can’t seem to escape, and explore our thoughts along the way. So, are we all underplaying it… or is it really that deep?
Let’s talk about it!

The internet’s “manosphere” can seem like just another pocket of niche online culture. But lately, with algorithms pushing extreme voices and lonely young men searching for identity, what starts as curiosity can quickly spiral into something more influential and more dangerous.
This week, we’re diving Into the Manosphere with Louis Theroux. The viral Netflix documentary that has sparked thousands of online and in person conversations, and why it’s struck such a nerve.
Lets dive in.

Ep. 40 It's Not Me, It's UK (pt 2)
We're diving back into a conversation we had last year... it feels like everyone’s leaving the UK right now… right?
From the cost of living and career burnout to the weather (we had to say it), more and more people seem to be packing up and moving abroad in search of something better.
So we asked the Shallow community: have you left the UK, or are you thinking about it & WHY?
In this episode, we’re diving into your answers and the real reasons people are leaving.
Is moving abroad about chasing the dream… or just stepping away from a life in the UK that no longer feels like it works?

Ep. 39 Wuthering Heights
This week on Shallow Podcast, we’re diving into Emerald Fennell’s adaptation of Wuthering Heights and the cultural storm surrounding it.
From the casting debate and costume choices to the online backlash and endless think pieces, the loudest criticism has been the same: “It’s not like the book.”
But is that actually the problem?
Do adaptations need to be faithful to be successful? Or is this really about who gets to reinterpret classic literature in 2026?
We break down what changed from Emily Brontë’s original novel, whether the core themes still hold, the Heathcliff race discourse, the performances, the aesthetics, and whether this backlash is really that deep.
Let's dive in.
