Hopefully you like Bailey’s way too in depth track-by-track album analyses because we’re back with another for Noah Kahan’s The Great Divide—an album that can best be summed up with this emoji: 🥺. But that’s not all!! There’s also discussion of our perhaps problematic renaissance of Winnie the Pooh as adults sans children, the ‘womaning’ of Lena Dunham, and this summer’s reading trends. Also, Bailey introduces homework to the podcast! We promise we'll keep it fun though.

Title really says it all. As medium-level Harry Styles’ fans (not quite Harries), we obviously had to do a track-by-track analysis of HS4. Bailey attempts (but fails) at a concise review of The Oscars. And Cara provides some slightly belated recs for Trans Rights Readathon! Now stop listening to podcasts and go dance with your friends🕺🕺

Taylor owns her masters✅ Sabrina owns the male gaze✅ Addison Rae owns a mic❓Bailey and Cara ask the only question that matters: is it iconic or ironic?This episode’s Celebrity Spotlight goes to the Dakota Johnson✨Nepo baby supreme, Razzie winner, shit-shipper, and unexpected literary girlie📖. We reflect on her press tour chaos, her new love triangle movie (featuring Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal, hello?), and why she might be the most iconic mediocre actress alive (respectfully!)Also up for debate:📚  Indie vs. traditional book covers 🎶 Songs of the summer 2025 contenders 🎧 Voice memos in music—can we stop? Please? 👑 Addison: Rae-deeming herself as the new pop girlie? 📀 DCOMs that shaped us (Stuck in the Suburbs, Lemonade Mouth, Princess Protection Program) 💋 Heterofatalism and why Sabrina Carpenter’s BDSM-lite aesthetic is actually kinda subversive (but also… still white feminism)And in case you were wondering—yes, the search for the perfect summer song is still chronic, but this podcast? Always iconic.Until next time, IoIers. 🫶💿
