Summary
In this week’s Bullet Points, I take a look at the incredible ‘come back’ of Lindsay Lohan. She once was troubled but now she’s the most poised star you’ll find on a red carpet. It struck me that no one is asking about what happened for her to be able to come back from the brink and that perhaps, because she’s now arguably more beautiful than she’s ever been, that’s enough for people to assume she’s well and fully recovered.
Also this week, how I’m sad about the demise of And Just Like That, despite everything I’ve said. Why the Idaho Murders, which were brilliantly covered here on Redhanded, got under my skin and a little trailer swap with my friends over at the Straight Up podcast.

| 0:00.0 | Hello, hi and welcome to another episode of the Emma Gun Show and a midweek |
| 0:11.9 | instalment of bullet points. |
| 0:14.0 | This week I have a couple of things that I want to talk to you about, thoughts that |
| 0:18.3 | have just been percolating around in my brain and I also want to share |
| 0:23.7 | with you a trailer from a fellow well fellow podcasters from the straight up podcast so the |
| 0:30.8 | podcasting world is a slightly funny one in the sense that the only thing I had to compare it to was my journalistic world, |
| 0:40.7 | specifically when I was beauty journalist and a celebrity interviewer on magazines. |
| 0:44.8 | I used to go to events and I would see all the same people, all the same journalists, |
| 0:48.9 | all the same broadcasters, all the same. |
| 0:50.6 | And we were very much like this sort of traveling family that would go from launch to launch to event to event. We'd see each other all the same. And we were very much like this sort of traveling family that would go from |
| 0:55.2 | launch to launch to event to event. We'd see each other all the time. When I went into the |
| 0:59.6 | podcasting space, you do not meet other podcasts, particularly at the beginning. And we're talking |
| 1:04.6 | nearly 10 years ago. There were no podcast meetups. There were no podcast kind of mixes. People |
| 1:10.6 | very much in isolation, in silo were |
| 1:13.4 | making podcasts very much like me in my office and publishing them. And that was it. And you didn't |
| 1:19.7 | really come across other podcasters. Now, the landscape of podcasting has changed wildly. |
| 1:24.9 | I don't think I need to unpick that anymore in this podcast. But a few years, |
| 1:30.7 | so my only real podcast friends, other than the people who I know, who I knew through the beauty |
| 1:36.1 | industry who had podcasts like Kirby from Los Angeles, Jess and Jen from Fat Mascara, which is no longer. |
| 1:45.6 | Jules von Hep had started his podcast and then subsequently went on to do wobble. |
| 1:49.3 | So they were really the only people that I knew in the podcasting space. |
| 1:52.4 | There's going to be others and I'm going to really get across that I've forgotten. |
