Let them eat cake — Today’s episode is dedicated the cost of living crisis and humanitarian crises that contemporary society forces our complicity in.

We chat about the demographic most at risk of homelessness in Australia, Labour’s lacklustre support, Al Jazeera’s banning from Israel, and the Commonwealth Government’s unique solution to misogynistic radicalisation.

Plus, we dissect Dua Lipa’s floppy flop flop era, plus the controversies and bops going down at the Met Gala and Eurovision.

And to top it all off, we have the ultimate Diva showdown—trying to figure out who is the ultimate diva.

Hope you love it x

🖤💛❤️ We recorded this episode on the land of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people of the Kulin Nations, but Simran and Ryan met and grew up together on the land of the Yugambeh people. We’d like to acknowledge and pay our respects to Yugambeh, Kulin, and particularly Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung elders past and present. This always was and always will be Aboriginal land. We encourage settlers like us to Pay the Rent.

In today’s episode we chat about teamwork in politics, the hubris of male comedians, and Australia’s mens soccer team. Plus, is Taylor Swift’s latest album a bop? Early reviews indicate… no. Sorry Taylor. Better luck next time.

💙 We weren’t able to record this episode together and as it was our first time trialling remote recording, the audio isn’t the best. For that we do apologise! Next episode will be better (we promise).

Sorry for the delay on this one! Ryan (who edits the episodes) had a little post comedy fest burn out. Please enjoy stepping into a Time Machine from a week and a half ago when we recorded this.

Today we chat about the Bondi attacks, misogny, media's irresponsibility, Coachella, Heartbreak High, and have a DNM about criticism. See you next week!

Today's a long one, so buckle in. We deep dive into the politics of representation and the actual good that celebrity has to shape a better world. Particularly, we chat about Cowboy Carter (what a great album) and the politics of Beyoncé. Perhaps in counterpoint, we discuss the healing potential of friendships, and how restructuring our lives around friendship has led to a fuller life for us. Plus, lots of extra fun tidbits along the way.

We're throwing it back to 2016 for a nostalgia-filled deep dive for the year of Instagram Stories, Snake Drama, and Tropical House. Plus, we chat about recent drama at MONA, the role of the female gaze in the creator economy, and the ineffable power of a cigarette.
