Hello EIC, this week we're taking a look at the return of two cancelled women from pop culture.

Also we are very sorry for any audio issues. We were blessed to be recording IRL at the Homewood Hotel and Spa (tysm to them!).

Influencer, author and infamous 'scammer' Caroline Calloway made a public return to discourse last week with a new piece detailing her experience on Ozempic. Known for flower crowns, long IG captions in the 2010s and a viral creativity workshop where she charged hundreds of dollars for sharing her own posts, Calloway's essay sparked a big discussion around GLP-1s and the usefulness of weight loss transparency in 2026.

Next up, Olivia Wilde is back on a press run, and this one looks very different to her last. The director and actor has risen from the discourse ashes after Don't Worry Darling to critical fanfare and high praise for her latest film, The Invite. We take a look at her recent interviews, the film and the wildly (sorry) different response to her and her talent this time round.

Thank you so much for listening to us this week! Love O,R,B xxx
