This week on our pop culture podcast we talk the new season of Love Island UK, a new bachelor baby and the magic of window vacuums. 

This week, juggernaut reality series Love Island UK is back on TVNZ+ with an all new format. And when we say all new format, we mean same bikini-clad 20-somethings looking for love, but this time they get to mingle a bit more at the very start. There’s also an agenda-setting conversation about “Turkey teeth” thanks to aesthetics practitioner Jess, and a contestant named George who just won’t stop levitating. 

Beyond that, new of another Bachelor baby on the way was revealed to the nation by the medium of podcasting. Shortland Street is about to drop a big massive three night cliffhanger spectacular, and Below Deck Down Under is returning with our beloved Aesha. Also as we plummet into the depths of winter, the knitted dog jumpers are out in force along with the window vacuums. Plus, you won’t believe who has joined the turtleneck club.
