This week on our pop culture podcast we talk Tina from Turners, Pete Evans’ new ‘do and the secrets of the Love Island villa from Iain Stirling himself. 

Eat, sleep, crack on, repeat – It’s Love Island week and we could not be more excited to return to the villa! Alex got to chat to narrator Iain Stirling ahead of the show’s debut and scooped a Real Pod exclusive: the truth about what the villa smells like. Stirling also revealed his laid back writing process, and his favourite Love Island joke of all time. Will it be Luca Bish, the man who sells fish? You’ll have to listen to find out. 

Beyond that, we’ve also got some breaking Real News about Tina from Turners (alive and well) and Pete Evans’ haircut (mullet and mohawk fusion). We’ve also got some gnarly behind-the-scenes gossip from Tracked and a slew of recommendations to watch as things get chilly across the country. Mermaids! Bama Rush! I Think You Should Leave! The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent! All that, plus Jane’s dad has got yet another ad gig?!
