#207: Byron Baes, IWD, Severance
It’s finally here, Netflix’s first locally commissioned show whose mere existence was already divisive. What do Myf and Zan make of Byron Baes? It’s quite the time for reality on Netflix – however that’s constructed – and we’re curious about what it says about us. Are we being wilfully scammed at every turn? International Women’s Day was this week, and a piece on whose voices are being amplified in Australia has cut right through. And we’re banging on about a joyful substack, and the new Apple TV show Severance.
