45: Does Eleanor Neale really love Jack Manifold?

This week, TommyInnit and Jack Manifold are joined by the queen of true crime Eleanor Neale, host and creator of the hugely successful Outlore podcast.

Tom Simons takes the reins this episode to find out more about Jack Manifold’s girlfriend and what it’s actually like to be part of a YouTuber couple.

Eleanor talks about her alcoholic zoo party and worst moment of the week, Jack deals with ongoing eye trauma, and we learn way too much about everyone’s digestive issues.

We talk true crime burnout, the emotional toll of reporting brutal cases, and why Eleanor needed a break after reporting on one devastating Christmas Eve murder. She opens up about why women are drawn to true crime, what drives her storytelling, and how she balances advocacy with emotional well-being.

Also discussed:

- How Jack and Ellie met and what their home life is like

- What Jack and olives have in common

- What it’s really like to have a true crime podcast

- How Eleanor finds the balance between the gore and the goof

- ADHD, mess, and living together

- Long distance relationship advice

- Creepy houses and a kleptomaniac fox

- Grumpy grandads, politics, and Tom’s falling apart shoes

Plus:

- Who knows Jack best?

- Does Ellie get recognised in public?

- Who gets recognised where?

- What’s Ellie’s biggest red flag about Jack? (And what’s his?)

- The weird crossover of Dream SMP fans, emo girls, and Switch 2 rants

Join us for unfiltered laughs, weird fan encounters, serious chats about trauma and online fame. Plus, the comfort of a true love story and a little bit of worm twerking.
