We’re bacckkkkkk. Welcome back to Culture Pig towers for our inaugural 2026 episode. Mercifully, we have a lot to talk about. Like Timothée’s latest press run, how Nicki Minaj went from Barb to MAGA and how RTÉ’s latest schedule made Rory feel. (Hint: it’s bad.)

We also cover Heated Rivalry, swollen testicles and why Brenda Fricker is a forever icon. Thankfully there’s no big news going on internationally right now, so we can focus on the real stuff.

As always, you can follow Culture Pigs on IG and TikTok (@culturepigs), and, as always, we would sincerely appreciate a share, comment, rate—whatever you’re having yourself. It helps us defeat the algorithm, and it gets you hot takes on the latest move by JLaw, JLo or JHud. Also, if there are any cultural touchstones you'd like us to put a spotlight on, you can contact us directly by emailing culturepigs@poddleaudio.com.

Culture Pigs is hosted by Kate Demolder (@katedemolder on IG) and Rory Cashin (@roarEcashin), and is produced by Dee Reddy for Poddle Audio (@poddleaudio).

Culture Pigs - where the cultural trough is elevated. Kate and Rory's weekly wallow takes them from the mineral rich pools of high-brow art to the lowliest puddles of entertainment culture. All you have to do is dive in and listen.
