This recently developed podcats the concoction of two self-described "fine-ass feminists" from Dublin.
Jenny Claffey and Lindsay Hamilton run the show, and maintain that the lack of realness in the influencer industry pushed them to create a podcast where real issues are discussed.
"When the whole influencer thing really exploded we definitely noticed a gap in the market for ‘real talk’," Lindsay told The Daily Edge.
"That’s when I think we started to see our conversations as important and that they could help the women of Ireland today who are being fed so much false content."
