Episode 60: Harry Styles Is Somehow Hotter… & We’re Having AI Anxiety

from Bestie Boos · host Sam Baxter & Sarah Direen

This week on Bestie Boos, we unpack the things currently consuming our brains: Harry Styles somehow getting even hotter, Spencer Pratt’s chaotic return to relevance, and the very real spiral of AI anxiety.After experimenting with AI tools like Claude and Canva AI, we have an honest conversation about creativity, work, and the growing fear of being left behind as technology moves at lightning speed. Is everyone else keeping up better than we are… or are we all quietly panicking? 😅We also get into the latest pop culture headlines — from Rihanna’s new tattoo and Ed Sheeran’s beloved Ipswich Town celebrations, to David Attenborough turning 100 and proving he may actually live forever.Plus, we chat Mother’s Day, navigating grief while life carries on around you, artsy outings, cosmic life direction, and the very random story of why someone got kicked out of the new Christchurch stadium.It’s pop culture, existential crises, hot people, and unfiltered life chats — just another week with the Bestie Boos.⸻About Bestie Boos Podcast:Bestie Boos is a New Zealand podcast hosted by best friends Sam Baxter and Sarah Direen, bringing you weekly pop culture updates, celebrity news, and real-life conversations.
