We decided to speed-read Lena Dunham's new memoir and tell our listeners all about it. Our verdict? The gossip in Famesick is juicier than a ripe peach, so we're examining every delicious detail. Does Lena believe her ex Jack Antonoff had an affair with Lorde? What was Adam Driver like on the set of Girls (Spoiler: pretty sketchy), and why did she stop working with writing partner Jenni Conner? Don't bother pouring yourself a cup of tea while listening to this episode, because Famesick is full of it! It's also a gorgeously written book that reminds us of humour and insight that first brought Lena into the spotlight. This might be one of the most millennial books ever written...

While we take a little break this week, revisit this episode from the archives, in which we discuss the many scandals of one Lena Dunham, the frequently problematic, award-winning writer, filmmaker and actor. Although she has managed to piss off just about every community at some point in time, she did create the seminal series Girls — so, does she deserve a return? Is she truly a voice of a generation? Especially with her recent new series Too Much, and her brand new memoir Famesick out this month? Let's discuss!

This week, we’re exploring more reality TV drama, as Sadaf explains what is happening with Summer House's latest scandal to a perplexed Sarah. Later, we theorize on Amanda and West's motivations for confessing to their affair, and we also dissect how Ciara is moving forward in the wake of what some are referring to as "Scamanda." Whether you watch Summer House (like Sadaf) or constantly confuse it with Jersey Shore (like Sarah), this discussion is mandatory listening for anyone who wants to understand the Zeitgeist...
