Episode 2! We made it. It’s slightly late, it’s full of sidetracks, it’s everything you love about Anxious & Insecure, plus some iffy instructions for how to use a menstrual cup!

Anxious & Insecure

Season 2 Episode 2

We’re back. No, it’s not a mirage. Oli and Arthur are back in your ears and less able to follow their own trails of thought than ever! In this episode, we discuss environmental issues, political turmoil, inter-generational conflict, mental health, and eggs. Obviously. Want to hear more? Then listen. It’s a podcast, duh.

Season 2 Episode 1

In the first episode of Pride Month(s) – we’re taking 2 months because we sort of can and also we just want to – we’re not at all shocked that Trump is refusing to acknowledge it. However, we’re pleasantly surprised that Roseanne’s racist tweets had such a major negative impact on her career. Meanwhile, in… Continue reading Episode 24

Episode 24

We’re back with another special guest! This week, we’re talking about the policing crisis in the UK, featuring some iffy gun opinions and American Logic. We’ve also just had Mental Health Awareness Week in the UK, so we stopped in for an update on everyone’s health (spoiler alert: it’s bad). Over in the US of… Continue reading Episode 23

Episode 23

This week, we’re talking about the Royal Baby (because who isn’t?) and the Windrush Scandal (because more people should). Meanwhile, maybe Kanye should stop talking so much, and Facebook is taking on dating. Good thing they have all our data already, right? All this, and more! Including things you didn’t want to know about us,… Continue reading Episode 22

Episode 22

This week we all try to wrestle with our abandonment issues as Arthur leaves us again and Ollie steps in. In the UK, there will be no politicians at the royal wedding, but that’s probably because they’re all busy being antisemitic all the time. These two stories may not actually be linked. Across the pond,… Continue reading Episode 21

Episode 21

This week we start off light-hearted with an in-depth discussion of gun violence, the Black Lives Matter movement, and how systemic racism still reigns in the USA. Then we take a trip back to primary school, or elementary for some, and revisit lessons about sharing and being nice that some people haven’t quite hung onto… Continue reading Episode 20

Episode 20

This week we have an extra special episode that we definitely did on purpose and totally wasn’t a last-minute accident! Okay, so we had some technical difficulties that rendered half our original episode worthless. But on the plus side, y’all now get to experience a full episode of UK vs USA culture clash debate. Giving… Continue reading Episode 19

Episode 19

It’s our super-special, unsurprisingly-late, International Women’s Day episode! Is it bigger than Christmas? We say so. We have some fun news stories for you, like assassination attempts and alligators in public, but we also talk a lot about lady rights. So prepare yourselves for that. IWD has been big this year (yay!), and a whole… Continue reading Episode 18

Episode 18

This week, Arthur makes a “triumphant” return, just in time to watch the Brits absolutely lose their shit over the weather. The UK has been ravaged by not one but two major storms this week, crippling all infrastructure and causing actual death. But most importantly, there was frozen poop in the street. Have you ever… Continue reading Episode 17

Episode 17

This week, Arthur buggers off and ditches us all. So Oli and Ollie have to interact and things get messy. Okay, not that messy. At least they’re a more cohesive team than the UK government, who took a special retreat to Chequers so they could discuss how badly they’re messing up Brexit. There’s also talk… Continue reading Episode 16

Episode 16

In a pretty devastating week, we’re bringing you good news! Just kidding, everything is terrible all the time. Another sex scandal rocks the UK, this time involving Oxfam, because even charities are full of bad people sometimes. Meanwhile, a campaigner goes full 3 Billboards to remind everyone that Grenfell Tower is still without any sort… Continue reading Episode 15

Episode 15

This week, Trump insults the struggling NHS because American healthcare is so flawless they can get away with it. The UK celebrates 100 years since the first little batch of women were allowed to vote, and Arthur will not stop singing at every opportunity. Meanwhile, we express a clear and unsurprising preference in the Superbowl… Continue reading Episode 14

Episode 14

This week’s top story (apparently) is CHER featuring in Mamma Mia 2. On a less happy note, a convicted paedophile who happened to be on a TV show for a while commits suicide before a ruling can be handed down. By the way, did you know there are still Blockbusters? Well, not in Texas as… Continue reading Episode 13

Episode 13

In which Oli croaks and mumbles throughout, Arthur believes another obvious lie, and Ollie suffers totally unwarranted character assassination. We also do some real news discussions, at some point. In the UK, we talk about the (probably unwise) release of convicted rapist John Worboys, and come to the conclusion that having fewer sex attackers on… Continue reading Episode 12
