Pod promo: Unleashed recommendation

The Brooklyn Beckham family drama that's been all over the news and in our group chats this week has us questioning where 'doing your best' ends and maternal control begins. We unpack the power dynamics of the family unit and why the internet is obsessed with a 26-year-old finally finding his voice.

Plus, from "Make Whole Milk Great Again" to the sudden arrival of Autistic Barbie, we’re looking at the  intersection of politics, branding, and... kids' lunchboxes.

Also, a GP’s five-month suspension has raised some questions we need to unpack.

And, some fabulous reccos to make life easier, more interesting and fun. Get it while it's hot.

Our Recommendations:

☕ Amelia is all about Temple Trap a game for the kids and its associated app Playroom.

🍰 Stacey wants you to watch Heated Rivalry on HBO.

📺 Monz wants you to watch Ballkids on Netflix.
