This week on Enough About Me, Lewis talks to journalist, writer and former political pundit Moya Lothian-McLean about pulling back the curtain on legacy media, exposing the performative economics behind viral TV debates, and explaining why she ultimately chose to walk away from the circus. The conversation explores the heavy psychological toll of the modern attention economy, detailing how algorithmic metrics and smartphone addiction trigger intense creative burnout and dilute individual voice. Tying systemic industry critiques to deeply personal reflections on class barriers, tokenization, and the value of narrative storytelling, they discuss the critical necessity of slowing down, logging off, and reclaiming your craft from digital noise.

In this episode of Enough About Me, Lewis sits down with novelist and critic Rachel Connolly to discuss her work and the state of contemporary culture. The conversation dives deep into the psychological trap of constant phone connectivity, the liberating clarity of silent retreats, and why protecting an independent mind requires a disciplined routine.

Together, they interrogate the modern publishing industry's demand for didactic storytelling, exploring why real art requires embracing the raw, un-sanitized realities of human behavior over safe moralizing. Later, the two look at the class divides fueling online neurodivergence trends, share a raw look into the mechanics of a personal "victim spiral," and engage in a spirited debate over the politics of London's wild swimming spots, proving why normal audiences are starving to be taken seriously.

In this episode of Enough About Me, host Lewis Brown sits down with Janey Starling (Co-Director of Level Up) for an unflinching interrogation of institutional violence, bodily autonomy, and capitalist cooptation.

Moving from the front lines of direct action and prison abolition, to counter-culture and creative resistance. Janey talks about running the DIY feminist punk band Yakkie, navigating the flaws of the modern music industry, and how '90s grunge alternative scenes can offer blueprints for non-toxic masculinity.
