Hollywood murder, netball and… the love of Kylie
It’s all on Team Stylist’s cultural hit-list this week

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.

“The Yaar Bar is one of those products that at initial glance is quite baffling – what is a ‘Nordic quark bar’? Is it cheese? Yoghurt? It certainly sounds too healthy to be fun – but on first bite reveals itself as a thing of dairy-based genius. It is essentially cheesecake – but in a socially acceptable grab-and-go format. It contains cloudberries, a fruit whose name alone makes me incomprehensibly happy. It is coated in what tastes like Caramac. It is impossible to refer to by name without putting on a comedy pirate voice. It only costs a pound. For similarly mind-bending chilled treats, may we also recommend Little Moons mochi (£4.99, Ocado), mini scoops of pistachio or passion fruit-flavoured Japanese gelato wrapped in a deliciously chewy rice flour casing.” Find Yaar Bars by the smoothies at Sainsbury’s and in Whole Foods

We’re all well versed in the benefits of using a reusable cup for our coffee. But what about saving the waste that comes with making coffee drinkable in the first place? 1.35m tonnes of surplus is created each year by just milling the stuff, but Huskee takes that waste and recycles it to make sleek reusable coffee cups. And as well as being unbelievably sustainable and looking super swish, they’re also intelligently engineered to keep your coffee hotter for longer. Green, smart and good-looking. One please!
