    Lawless London

    Notes on… The Louvre heist and growing up with Jacqueline Wilson

    Jacqueline Wilson was the author who carried millennial women from childhood into adolescence. Her books didn't shy away from tough subjects like depression, abuse and grooming. Now, as she releases Perfect Imperfect, the long-awaited follow-up to her 1997 classic The Illustrated Mum, Liv and Miranda discuss how she mainstreamed taking girlhood seriously.   It's been a wild week in the art world: a heist at the Louvre, A-listers swanning through a British Museum ball trying to outshine the Met Gala, and the Frieze Art Fair came to London. But behind the Chanel and champagne lies one big question: why does a multi-billion-pound industry have a money problem?   Watch full episodes on YouTube - HERE    Liv and Miranda love to share their recommendations, here's what's on their radar this week:  Miranda:  Thorpe Park Fright Night Liv: Pillion (film) Santosh (film) The Stimming Pool (film) I swear (film)   Read more On My Radar recommendations from The Observer's New Review HERE    Links to everything mentioned in this episode:  Get a copy of Jacqueline Wilson's new book - Picture Imperfect - HERE    Let's chat!

    Donald Trump’s plans for the World Cup

    As more and more people turn to AI for news, how should journalists fight back and protect the human by-line?

Will the British Museum win its £3.5 million battle to keep a rare gold Tudor Heart pendant?   Rebecca Moore is joined by The Observer's Alex O'Connell, Vanessa Thorpe and Jessy Parker Humphreys, as they pitch their top story of the day.

    Notes on… Victoria Beckham’s new documentary and why most top designers are men

    This week, Netflix released a three-part series on Victoria Beckham's evolution from Spice Girl to fashion designer. Produced by David Beckham's company, it joins a growing list of self-made celeb docs - from Harry & Meghan to Beyoncé, Pamela Anderson, and Robbie Williams.   London and Paris Fashion Weeks sparked online outrage - with models walking in metal mouth braces, bound arms, bodysuits printed with male genitalia, and trad-wife-style aprons. With major houses like Chanel, Dior, Gucci, and Balenciaga now mostly led by men, Liv and Miranda ask The Observer's Jo Jones what's gone wrong.   Watch full episodes on YouTube - HERE    Liv and Miranda love to share their recommendations, here's what's on their radar this week:    Miranda:  ‘It Always Was' (song) by Joshua Idehen ‘Cocksucker Blues' (documentary)   Liv ‘Dreaming Whilst Black' (Series)   Cat Burns (!!!)

    Notes on… Taylor Swift versus Charli XCX and the death of clubbing

    Taylor Swift's new, record-breaking album The Life of a Showgirl is dividing a once-faithful fandom. Following the success of the epic Eras tour, Swifties are breaking cover to critique the star for the first time - particularly over one song which seems to pick a fight with Charli XCX.   Two major London clubs, G-A-Y and Corsica, announced their closure this week, marking another blow to the city's nightlife. Miranda came of age in the 1990s Manchester club scene; Liv did the same in South London in the 2010s. At this rate, traditional clubs it looks like could disappear entirely by the end of the decade. What happens if clubbing culture goes extinct?    Liv and Miranda love to share their recommendations, here's what's on their radar this week:  Miranda:  Yushy - Section 63 (book) Free Party: A Folk History (documentary) Liv: Jewel's Catch One (documentary) Curse of: America's Next Top Model (podcast series)    Read more On My Radar recommendations from The Observer's New Review HERE    Read Kitty Empire's review of Taylor Swift's Life of a Showgirl - HERE   Let's chat!

For decades, women leaving girl groups have struggled to replicate their success on their own.
