Have centrist dads turned toxic? – “Oh no! Mum’s on shrooms” – How honest should your mates really be?

We read the papers so you don’t have to. Today: The Telegraph reckons that centrist dads might just be the root of all evil. We’re off on a weekend trip to a magic mushroom spa for yummy mummies in The Times. Plus – The i has another great column from Kate Lister, but we’re worried she’s using it to throw some shade at one of her brutally honest best mates. Miranda Sawyer is joined by the crème de la crème of the Paper Cuts family – featuring Michael Clarke, Natasha Devon, Jonn Elledge, Jessica Fostekew, Jacob Hawley, Coco Khan, Stu McPherson, Helen Price, and Marjolein Robertson.  Support Paper Cuts and get mugs, t-shirts, extended ad-free editions and access to our exclusive live streams here: back.papercutsshow.com Follow Paper Cuts: • Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/papercutsshow.bsky.social • Threads: https://www.threads.net/@papercutsshow • Twitter: https://twitter.com/papercutsshow • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/papercutsshow • TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@papercutsshow Illustrations by Modern Toss https://moderntoss.com  Written and presented by Miranda Sawyer.
