Who’s up for a bonkers and brilliant new podcast? Stylist’s digital editor Kayleigh is mad for Who Exploded Vivien Stone?, from award-winning comedy writers and performers Kill The Beast. “It blends the gentle nostalgia of an old-fashioned radio play with anarchic comedy, outrageous characters and a seriously twisted murder mystery: Vivien Stone, Hollywood’s reigning diva, has been murdered on the set of Rosemary’s Toddler. And nothing – not even the ongoing police investigation – is going to stop the director getting his (ahem) final cut. Prepare to snort very unattractively in public: this is literal LOL-worthy stuff.”
Meanwhile, entertainment director Helen is loving the Vitality Netball World Cup. “My Wednesday night netball game is a sacred ritual, so I’ve been glued to Sky Sports (watch for free on their YouTube channel and BBC Two). Scotland and Northern Ireland have big games this week but it’s the Commonwealth gold-winning England team that the smart money is on, with four out of four wins on the scoresheet so far. Come on you Roses.” Helen’s also listening to (not at the same time… we don’t think) Kylie Minogue’s Step Back In Time: The Definitive Collection non-stop (side note: here’s why Kylie’s Glastonbury set was extra good).
If none of that is quite whetting your appetite, fashion director Arabella recommends something wonderfully culinary: new series Remarkable Places to Eat begins on BBC Two tomorrow night, in which Angela Hartnett and Fred Sirieix head to Venice’s oldest café. Yum.
