In a brand new interview with The Guardian, Allen and Oliver shared some perception into the creation of their present, with the “Smile” singer recalling a comment that needed to be minimize out of an early episode.
“I was talking about reproductive rights, and Roe v Wade,” she defined, “and I said that, at the Met Gala, there were enough people in that room to have really moved the needle about that, and the legal department was like, ‘That sounds like a call to action’, and it had to be edited out.”
Allen added: “I still don’t understand the guidelines.”
Oliver chimed in by saying that whereas investigating the manufacturing guidelines isn’t their job, it might be “ridiculous for us not to talk about important s*** that’s going on that we care about”.
As effectively as present affairs, Allen and Oliver talk about some of their shared experiences, many of that are new anecdotes for the listeners.
One story that led to a number of nationwide headlines was based mostly on Allen admitting that she had deliberately slept with a celebrity that Oliver was interested in, claiming that pop stars are “fair game”.
On their candid nature within the programme, former T4 presenter Oliver mentioned that being trustworthy is crucial to the podcast’s success.
“Miss Me? has got to be the truth,” she mentioned. “Otherwise, what’s the f***ing point? That’s why people like it, because it’s just the truth. And the truth is messy.”

Though the podcast normally solely options the 2 co-hosts, Miss Me? welcomed Billie Eilish for a special episode earlier this month. In the Guardian interview, printed on Sunday (16 June), Allen admitted she’d felt “really protective” of the “Birds of a Feather” singer.
“I felt really protective about her, it was so weird,” Allen mentioned of the 22-year-old.
“Because Miquita’s background is probing pop stars. And my job is being the pop star, and I’m also a mother. Billie is closer to my kids’ age than she is to mine. So Miquita would say, ‘What do you mean by that?’ to Billie, and I was like, ‘She doesn’t mean anything. She does not want to answer that question.’”
Miss Me? is launched on Mondays and Thursdays on BBC Sounds.
