EPISODE 22: National Treasures & Hidden Transgressions

Janet Jackson is a national treasure and this is not up for debate. From there: New Orleans gets a new mayor, Vuyanzi reckons with having outsourced her cooking entirely, Brendan emails a CEO with full Karen energy, and someone slept with a parliamentarian. It's that kind of episode.

In this episode:

• Opening conversation - a not-so-new revelation and what it means when something you always knew about yourself finally lands differently
• Whose America Is It Anyway? - New Orleans elects Helen Morena as mayor: what this moment means and why it matters
• Janet Jackson - national treasure, full stop: the case, the evidence, the verdict
• Lost in Translation - Vuyanzi has fully outsourced cooking to her house manager and is now confronting the consequences; Brendan emails a CEO and discovers his inner Karen
• All Joy Matters - Queer Joy: sleeping with a parliamentarian; Black Joy: Vuyanzi's coaching transition
