  • Kristen Stewart’s Very Public Cheating Scandal
    Apr 19 2023

    In the early 2010’s Gen Z cared about two things A LOT, the movie franchise Twilight, and the fact that it’s stars we’re dating in real life. That was until certain pap photos surfaced breaking the two apart and breaking the hearts of Gen Z’s (and oddly some Gen Xers) everywhere.

    This episode Shannen takes Holly through a cheating scandal so big the former US President weighed in, and Holly surprises everyone with a secret obsession.

    And, we have some sad news... this will be our last ever episode of Lowbrow. We have absolutely love bringing you stories from the pop-culture archive, thank you so much for joining us along the way!

  • That Time The Internet Believed The Queen Was Reincarnated
    Apr 5 2023

    There's nothing more we love here at Lowbrow than royal gossip and a conspiracy theory and this episode has both!

    Shannen takes Holly through the internets silliest rumour, was Queen Elizabeth reincarnated into Trisha Paytas' baby? Which obviously left Holly with one question... who is Trisha Paytas?

    This is an investigation.

  • How Gwyneth Paltrow And Winona Ryder Became Frenemies
    Mar 29 2023

  • Camila Cabello & The Curse Of The Girl Group
    Mar 22 2023

    In every girl group there is one that stands out above the rest, in Destiny's Child it was Beyoncé, in Pussy Cat Dolls it was Nicole Scherzinger, and in Fifth Harmony it was Camila Cabello.

    This episode Shannen takes Holly through the creation of Fifth Harmony, all the drama behind the scenes, and what impressionable Gen Z's took away from their demise.

    We also hear about Holly's breakdancing past and if that's not enough of a reason to listen I don't know what is!

  • Michael & Paula: A Tragedy That Began On A Bed
    Mar 15 2023

    This love story begins like all good ones do, in a bed.

    Paula Yates met Michael Hutchence when he appeared as a guest on her breakfast TV show. The chemistry was undeniable, the problem was they were already in a relationship... with other people.

    This episode Holly tells Shannen the rollercoaster story of Paula and Michael, the way the world reacted, and the impact it left on Gen Xers. But be warned this love story doesn't have a happy ending.

    WARNING: This episode talks about drug abuse and suicide, if it raises any concerns for you or you just need to talk, Lifeline is always there on 13 11 14.
