Ageing & The Pursuit of Youth (Rerelease)

Hello EICucumbers, we have another gem from the archive. This is the accompanying episode to our double beauty special from 2024.

Has much changed in two years? It feels like the pursuit of youth has only become more ubiquitous since then, but rather than replacing thinness, that old chestnut has also come back to haunt us all. Can you believe the impact of GLP-1s is just two years? It's quite something...

We'd love to hear your thoughts on the themes that still ring true and the ones that have already evolved since this first came out. We're very naughty and still check DMs and Spotify comments despite being OOO, so please do keep messaging in <3 Love O,R,B xxxx
