Summary

Hi hello! Today on the show, can celebrities ‘insure’ themselves against cancellation? One insurance agency reckons they can - and should - do exactly that. Maybe it’s not such a crazy idea; recovering from a ‘cancellation’ is hard work. Today we’re chatting about cancellation insurance and the recent recovery efforts of two very, very different ‘cancelled’ celebrities: Armie Hammer, and Lena Dunham. This episode of Shameless is brought to you by Mejuri - play, mix, stack and repeat with fine jewellery. And, a big thanks to Xero! On today’s episode, Mich recommended Who Else Is Feeling This In Their Body by Anne Helen Petersen. You can read Emily Gould’s ‘The Lure of Divorce’ here.
