It’s the big Kahuna of award shows and we unpack everything about a very different Oscars: the historic wins, the notable absences, the Glenn Close moment, and of course the farshun.There’s some serious Black Mirror shizz happening in China, as a Russian contestant on a reality TV gets trapped inside the machine.And a short read on the space between flourishing and depression has resonated with us hugely in this pandemic marathon. Are you languishing too?Meanwhile, Myf is banging on about an excellent long read on Kimye, and Zan is at the church of music and in seventh heaven with The Avalanches.Show notes:Oscars highlights: https://www.washingtonpost.com/arts-entertainment/2021/04/25/oscars-academy-awards-live/Glenn Close Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/COJ0aK4rkjy/Are the Oscars relevant? https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-04-27/are-awards-shows-losing-their-relevance-oscars-academy-awards/100088926Russian Man on Chinese Reality TV: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/apr/27/russian-man-trapped-chinese-reality-tv-show-voted-out-lelush-vladislav-ivanov-produce-campNY Times piece on languishing: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/19/well/mind/covid-mental-health-languishing.htmlNigella’s micro-wav-ay BAFTA nod: https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/food-and-drink/nigella-lawson-bafta-microwave-b1838123.htmlOscars fashun: https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-56864780The End of Kimye’s Long Ride: https://www.vulture.com/article/kim-kardashian-kanye-west-divorce.htmlThe Roches: https://open.spotify.com/track/3cPtZw0oqMEkKlGSF0SLkc?si=u-eZ4DZ1QLinrC1hFHqLsQEmail us: [email protected] On is produced by Double J and is recorded on the lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation.

An educational video about consent has us more confused than before we pressed play, and we’re not alone. Myf and Zan unpack the 1950’s world of milkshakes and Moving the Line. Byron Bay locals are boycotting the filming of a Netflix series about their town and it’s people, prompting the question “if you build it, they will come?” We’ve got some breaking screen updates from France and Italy, and anywhere Adam Driver is... and the Canadian Olympic team have revealed their closing ceremony uniform and oh boy, it’s a doozy. Meanwhile Myf has her head in the book Ghosts, and Zan is digging into a brilliant podcast called Resistance.Show notes:Moving the Line video: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-04-19/government-consent-video-milkshake-taco-slammed/100079682Tea and Consent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZwvrxVavnQ&ab_channel=ThamesValleyPoliceByron Bay locals oppose Byron Baes: https://www.smh.com.au/business/companies/they-ve-got-a-big-fight-on-their-hands-us-giant-netflix-gets-dose-of-reality-in-byron-bay-20210418-p57k65.htmlEliza Barr Twitter thread: https://twitter.com/ElizaJBarr/status/1383936276294901767The Coast of Utopia: https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2019/07/the-coast-of-utopia-surfer-moms-instagram-influencersCall My Agent update: https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2021/apr/14/call-my-agent-netflix-french-comedy-fifth-season-movieAnnette film trailer: https://variety.com/2021/film/global/cannes-festival-to-open-with-marion-cotillard-adam-driver-starrer-annette-1234954497/House of Gucci: https://www.harpersbazaar.com/culture/film-tv/a32092950/lady-gaga-gucci-family-movie/Canadian Olympic Team Uniforms: https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2021/apr/15/cancel-the-olympics-fashion-outcry-as-canada-brings-back-jean-jackets-for-tokyoGhosts: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/50042494-ghostsResistance: https://gimletmedia.com/shows/resistanceEmail us: [email protected] On is produced by Double J and is recorded on the lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation.

We’re max relaxed after a long weekend down the beach, and ready to dissect the week with you. An editorial on women’s pasts and how they are weaponised against us in the halls of power, resonates and has us reflecting on our digital footprints.Meanwhile the reckoning continues, all of it; the discussions, the anger, and importantly the change. A shift in the definition of the Sex Discrimination act has us cheering and yelling “whut?!” at the same time. That reckoning extends to Neighbours, which has been called out for it’s non-inclusive environment and alleged racism.And it’s a bumper fashun update from the Bang Fam at large. Does this mean that nature is healing?Speaking of fashion, we pay tribute to an icon, as Carla Zampatti sadly passes away. And we’re banging on about great reads, and listens, and hoping you follow us down the rabbit hole.Show notes:Georgie Purcell in The Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/apr/06/women-are-scared-to-enter-politics-because-of-their-past-i-was-one-of-themPoliticians and judges to be included in Sex Discrimination Act: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-04-08/cph-government-responds-to-respect-at-work/100055070Alleged racism on Neighbours set: https://www.sbs.com.au/nitv/article/2021/04/07/it-was-continuous-indigenous-neighbours-actors-allege-systemic-racism-sexism-setThe upside-down bikini.

What a wild week. A South Australian (alleged) tourism ad has everyone talking. With their mouths.Lil Nas X is feeding and fighting the conservatives with his excellent new video, and serving satanic sass on his social media.And Parliament is still doing it’s thing.

The events of the past week have us angry, frustrated, and exhausted. We sit with that, and with the knowledge that it’s been happening for a long time. But also that this very public reckoning means things are different, the conversation is shifting.As our leaders offer statements that diminish the experiences of survivors, Australian of the Year Grace Tame’s speech at the National Press Club is a hopeful and rallying call, and huge call out on how we discuss and deal with sexual abuse.In more joyful news, the permanent judge for Ru Paul’s Drag Race Down Under has been ru-vealed, and Dolly has finally been vaccinated.

Two boomers have started a podcast, and we’re very interested in their home recording setup. Another duo have called it a day, and we reflect back on the soundtrack Daft Punk have given our lives. As big TV shows like Sex & the City, Succession, and Curb Your Enthusiasm go back into production, the question of COVID as a storyline is front of mind. Should TV reflect, or escape reality? And the reactions following “Framing Britney Spears” keep coming, as two women held under the spotlight as kids share their thoughts. Meanwhile Myf is filling the Succession hole with TV show Industry, while Zan is dreaming of beach escapes, reading Barbarian Days.Show notes:Slate on Obama & Springsteen’s podcast setup: https://slate.com/human-interest/2021/02/barack-obama-bruce-springsteen-podcast-setup.htmlRemembering the genius of Daft Punk: https://www.abc.net.au/doublej/music-reads/features/daft-punk-feature/13182412Will TV confront COVID or avoid it?: https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2021/feb/23/from-sex-and-the-city-to-succession-will-tv-confront-covid-or-ignore-itTavi Gevinson: Britney Was Never In Control: https://www.thecut.com/2021/02/tavi-gevinson-britney-spears-was-never-in-control.htmlIndustry: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbM84z4XYgc&ab_channel=HBOBarbarian Days: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18693910-barbarian-daysEmail us: [email protected] On is recorded on the lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation.

We woke to a Facebook devoid of Australian news content, and so much more. Myf and Zan talk about how the social media giant is playing poker with the Australian government and frustrating it’s millions of local users and communities. Brittany Higgins’ allegations of rape within Parliament House have caused shockwaves across the country, and differing responses from our leaders. How do we value the women in our lives? And Justin Timberlake has publicly apologised to Britney Spears and Janet Jackson, following the airing of Framing Britney Spears. Meanwhile, a long read on if and how TikTok is flattening music has Zan jazzed, while Myf is looking to the future with other trends on the horizon. And yes, we’re celebrating the first denim fashion YES we’ve witnessed in months, after being bombarded by every Bang Fam member, while banging on about TV show Lupin, and podcast Tough Love.Show notes:Facebook news ban: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-02-18/facebook-to-restrict-sharing-or-viewing-news-in-australia/13166208Justin Timberlake apology: https://www.instagram.com/p/CLMxYbGhTno/Amy Remeikis in the Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/feb/17/trauma-like-mine-doesnt-have-a-gender-but-too-many-men-need-to-imagine-a-woman-they-love-to-feel-empathyNothing is Flattening Music Like TikTok: https://www.vulture.com/2021/02/essay-drivers-license-tiktok-radio.html20 predictions from trend forecasters: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/feb/15/2020s-trend-predictions-forecasters-working-from-home-ai-climateHigh Waist Cut Out Straight Leg Jeans: https://twitter.com/yodaberg/status/1361266436287524866Lupin: https://www.netflix.com/au/title/80994082Tough Love: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/linda-mariglianos-tough-love/id1546324192Email us: Email us: [email protected] On is recorded on the lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation.

It’s Super Bowl time which means (to us) a halftime show of high spectacle and lots of pyrotechnics. How did The Weeknd stack up against the legacy of roof jumps and left sharks? A New York Times doco on Britney Spears’ conservatorship has everyone talking, and us reflecting on our own judgements as we watched her rise and fall. An English parish meeting on Zoom has gone viral for all the right reasons, while Grand Slam tennis is providing the fashun hit we need.

It’s awards season! And the hit and miss nature of the Golden Globes never fails to disappoint. We analyse the nominations. Dolly Parton has had another big week of sweet scents and stinkers, while Myf is exploring the world of casual friendships and how important “weak ties” are to us and our human ecology. Allegations of abuse and coercion against Marilyn Manson raise a lot of questions around the concept of consent, and we’re banging on about brilliant watches on screens – big and small - including Promising Young Woman.

The conversation around how, when, and if to mark January 26 as "Australia Day" continues, and Myf and Zan talk about how circular it’s becoming. The honours system is under scrutiny, as we question the people given the highest awards for service in Australia, and who decides it. Cardi B has made Hottest 100 history with Myf’s anthem of 2020. And pandemic fashion continues to influence the latest trends (Zan is ready to invest), while Myf’s Tupperware spew bowl chat has “brought up” some memories for Bang Fam. We’re banging on about the new series set in the time of the AIDS epidemic, “It’s a Sin”, and the latest and last season of “Call My Agent”.Show notes:James Blackwell on January 26: https://www.theage.com.au/national/on-invasion-day-i-chose-silence-today-i-must-relive-our-trauma-20210125-p56wij.htmlWant an Order of Australia? https://www.smh.com.au/national/want-an-order-of-australia-it-helps-to-be-rich-powerful-and-male-20201123-p56h13.htmlHack on the Order of Australia: https://www.abc.net.au/triplej/programs/hack/why-are-there-no-young-or-culturally-diverse-australians-helpin/13090616Australian of the Year Awards: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-01-25/2021-australian-of-the-year-award-recipients-named/13089884Hottest 100 facts and stats: https://www.abc.net.au/triplej/news/musicnews/hottest-100-of-2020-by-the-numbers-stats-facts-trivia/13085394Arm Warmer: https://www.zara.com/au/en/arm-warmer-sweatshirt-p01443011.htmlCall My Agent: https://www.netflix.com/au/title/80133335It’s A Sin: https://www.stan.com.au/watch/its-a-sinEmail us: [email protected] On is produced by Double J and is recorded on the lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation.

Hours after US President Biden is sworn in we’re giving our hot takes on the important moments of Inauguration Day: the brooch, the coats, and Melania's kaftan. Speaking of fashion, US Vogue has been criticised over its cover image choice of history making VP Kamala Harris. We dig into the discussion around it. And convicted murderer and known abuser Phil Spector has died; we reflect on the “lone genius” myth, and the industry that allows certain men to make others suffer for their art. Meanwhile Myf is relating to childhood spew bowls (!), and we’re banging on about Sapiens and Louis Theroux’s podcast Grounded.Show notes: Inauguration Day memes: https://www.teenvogue.com/story/2021-inauguration-memes-bernie-sanders-lady-gaga-and-moreVogue releases new Kamala Harris cover: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/jan/19/kamala-harris-vogue-cover-controversy-limited-editionLaura Snapes on Phil Spector: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/jan/18/phil-spector-toxic-svengali-music-industryRonnie Spector interview: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2019/dec/12/ronnie-spector-i-love-metoo-and-times-up-because-mens-time-is-upFamily vomit bowl memories: https://www.pedestrian.tv/news/family-vomit-bucket-bowl-memories/Sapiens: https://www.ynharari.com/book/sapiens-2/Grounded: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p089sfrz/episodes/downloadsYou can also find show notes here: https://www.abc.net.au/radio/programs/bangon/ Email us: [email protected] On is produced by Double J and is recorded on the lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation.

We’re back for another year of Bangin’ On, and with plenty to sink our teeth into. Sex and the City is back too, but in what form and why? Kim and Kanye are reportedly on the rocks; we do what we can with the information at hand. And sea shanties have gone viral on TikTok, which is frankly joyful, but also speaks to a larger instinct towards community. A new year is an opportunity for taking stock and setting some 2021 goals, but how do you do that when there’s so much uncertainty in the world? Zan has some ideas. And Myf has been gorging on the trashy but sumptuous televisual feast that is Bridgerton, while Zan has zipped through the new novel by Elena Ferrante: The Lying Life of Adults.Show notes:Sex and the City is back: https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2021/jan/11/sex-and-the-city-to-return-for-new-series-stars-confirmSea shanties go viral: https://www.vulture.com/2021/01/tiktok-sea-shanties-explained.html21 Goals to Set in 2021: https://gentwenty.com/goals-to-set-in-2021/Bridgerton: https://www.netflix.com/au/title/80232398The Lying Life of Adults: https://www.europaeditions.com/book/9781609455910/the-lying-life-of-adultsEmail us: Email us: [email protected] On is produced by Double J.

Well we’ve come to the end of a year, and while everyone does their 2020 wrap we give this bin fire our own Bang On spin. Plenty to love (and suddenly remember) about it; from WAP to Dreams, hyper realistic cakes and hyper ugly Crocs. Fashion didn’t sleep, but did resemble a waste bag, and Dolly saved us all. It was a year of challenges too; in some cases good ones, and we reflect on the reckonings we’ve felt, in this tumultuous 12 months. Thank you Bang Fam for your endless love, support, and lols this year. This community has truly buoyed us, and we’re very grateful. See you in 2021. xShow notes:The Tracies: https://twitter.com/Brocklesnitch/status/1338328047208988674Tom Cruise rant: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/16/movies/tom-cruise-covid.htmlEmail us: [email protected] On is hosted by Myf Warhurst and Zan Rowe.

It’s over to you Bang Fam, as you share your recommendations for summer in a bumper Bang Back special episode. We laugh, we cry, and we now have a big list of all kinds of joyful, funny, enlightening, and ridiculous things to dig into over the summer break.

It’s a big week for trans awareness, with actor Elliot Page coming out and highlighting the realities of many others in the trans community. A great piece in the Washington Post on how COVID has changed arts criticism has us thinking more broadly about the ways we’re shifting for good, including in live gig accessibility. It’s quite a time for butts in fashion too, and of course we have many thoughts. Cher has rescued an elephant, and another monolith has popped up; Myf has the breaking news on both. And we’re banging on about a brilliant new podcast, and an award winning Australian novel.Show notes:Elliot Page comes out: https://www.instagram.com/p/CIQ1QFBhNFg/Arts Criticism may never be the same: https://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/museums/museums-art-criticism-covid-transformed/2020/11/25/a5623b9e-290d-11eb-8fa2-06e7cbb145c0_story.htmlLive music more accessible: https://www.abc.net.au/triplej/programs/hack/live-music-more-accessible-for-people-with-disabilities/12944018Wedgie shorts: https://au.sports.yahoo.com/wedgie-trend-butt-crack-cleavage-fashion-nova-000054293.htmlButt masks: https://aceology.co/products/cheeky-butt-mask-trioCher saved an elephant: https://edition.cnn.com/videos/travel/2020/11/29/cher-elephant-rescue-kaavan-pakistan-travel-orig-ch.cnnMonolith watch: https://www.ladbible.com/news/news-mysterious-monolith-similar-to-one-found-in-utah-appears-in-romania-20201130Stuff The British Stole: https://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/stuff-the-british-stole/The Yield: https://www.penguin.com.au/books/yield-the-9780143785750Email us to Bang Back: [email protected] On is produced by Double J and is recorded on the lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation.

It’s been a big week for music statues, with the ARIA Awards going down, and the Grammy nominations going up. Diversity on both fronts is on the rise, but The Weeknd ain’t happy. A great read on a new generation’s viewing of Diana’s “princess story” has us also reflecting on the shifting stories around cultural institutions, while an op-ed penned by The Duchess of Sussex shows she continues to do things her way. It’s our 150th episode too, so a good chance to introduce a new segment: Things We Don’t Understand. And Myf is pumped about a new US spin off series of Toast of London, while Zan is shoulder dancing in her seat to the new concert film American Utopia.Show notes:Sampa the Great performs at the ARIAs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4buIYNL01U&feature=youtu.be&ab_channel=ARIAGrammy nominations: https://variety.com/2020/music/news/grammys-women-country-rock-categories-genres-1234839286/The Weeknd accuses the Grammys of being corrupt: https://edition.cnn.com/2020/11/25/entertainment/the-weeknd-grammys-trnd/index.htmlYoung Women Are Watching Diana’s Story in the Crown with Horror: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/nov/24/young-women-the-crown-dianaThe Losses We Share: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/25/opinion/meghan-markle-miscarriage.htmlPeriod Poverty: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-51629880Mystery Monolith: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-11-25/mysterious-shiny-monolith-found-in-otherworldly-utah-desert/12917946Johnny Rotten: https://junkee.com/johnny-rotten-flea-penis/279668American Utopia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lg4hcgtjDPc&ab_channel=HBOToast to America: https://www.vulture.com/2020/11/matt-berry-steven-toast-new-season-america.htmlEmail us to Bang Back: [email protected] On is produced by Double J.

Dolly Parton cured Coronavirus! ABC Fact Check: not quite, but how wonderful that her $1 million donation towards the development of a vaccine is reaping dividends; we celebrate the Queen. Speaking of monarchies, the new season of The Crown has dropped and everyone is googling whether or not Diana dressed as a tree. But has artistic licence been taken too far? The success of double screen friendly shows like Emily in Paris has us looking into the concept of “ambient tv”, while we’re grateful that Channel 10 has decided to keep Pete Evans OFF the box. And we’re celebrating big boned parrots, and banging on about pools. Yep, it’s November.Show notes:Dolly Parton's vaccine donation: https://www.sbs.com.au/news/dolly-parton-donated-1-million-to-support-the-development-of-moderna-s-coronavirus-vaccineThe Crown’s fake history: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/nov/16/the-crown-fake-history-news-tv-series-royal-family-artistic-licenceEmily in Paris and the rise of ambient tv: https://www.newyorker.com/culture/cultural-comment/emily-in-paris-and-the-rise-of-ambient-tvPete Evans: https://tvblackbox.com.au/page/2020/11/17/exclusive-pete-evans-fired-from-im-a-celebrity-get-me-out-of-here/All hail the Kakapo: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/nov/16/kakapo-the-worlds-fattest-parrot-named-new-zealands-bird-of-the-year-for-2020Where the Crawdads Sing: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/36809135-where-the-crawdads-singEmail us: [email protected] On is recorded on the lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation.

It’s been a week for finding, and figuring out women’s place in power in 2020. An ABC 4 Corners expose on the power imbalance between men and women in Canberra has been seamlessly followed by a political press conference confirming the point. Meanwhile a statue erected to pay tribute to a feminist hero has many confused and outraged about the gaze it was sculpted in. Australia Post has backed a campaign to include Indigenous place names on letters and packages, which has us reflecting on the every day inclusion of traditional country names in all walks of life. And the Four Seasons Total Landscaping story is too good to ignore. Yes, we’ve ordered the commemorative tee.

Myf and Zan bang on about Johnny Depp, Beyonce's 80,000 bees, the ridiculous Goop gift guide, The Vow, and Meg Mason's new book Sorrow and Bliss.

After 2 weeks of multiple health screens and asking everyone to quarantine, I surprised my closest inner circle with a trip to a private island where we could pretend things were normal just for a brief moment in time. Joking! We just emerged from months of lockdown to record Bang On face to face, IRL! And it’s like one million private island birthdays rolled into one. We talk about the tone deaf socials post from KKW that has the world’s meme machine ticking over. Bowie's iconic song Fashion turns 40 and the sale of iconic venue Festival Hall has us reminiscing about the live music memories that shaped who we would become, and what the future holds for those gigs (under God’s eye). Myf makes Zan’s day by banging on about a new TV series on cults, while Zan’s been watching the Borat sequel.Show notes:The Bunnings Guy: https://junkee.com/bunnings-theme-gruen/276084Kim’s private island birthday: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2020/oct/28/kim-kardashian-west-tweets-birthday-party-private-islandFestival Hall sold: https://www.abc.net.au/triplej/news/musicnews/hillsong-has-bought-melbournes-iconic-festival-hall/12813314David Bowie’s Fashion at 40: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUMvk_AScjk&ab_channel=LowiePerezFyre Festival’s Billy McFarland put in solitary for a podcast: https://www.vulture.com/2020/10/fyre-festivals-billy-mcfarland-put-in-solitary-over-podcast.htmlSeduced: Inside the NXIVM Cult: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0K-dAFACofI&ab_channel=StanAustraliaBorat Subsequent Moviefilm: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Rsa4U8mqkwEmail us: [email protected] On is recorded on the lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation.

It’s been a week for blokes with their hands down their pants! Rudy Giuliani has been caught in some compromising shots in the new Borat film, while US journalist Jeremy Toobin has dissolved the boundaries of working from home, in a Zoom meeting. Why are so many men coming to his defence? A beautiful long read on how we value our friendships has us reflecting on our own lifelong bonds, and NASA has landed on an asteroid this week. Cue: Aerosmith. Meanwhile Zan has just finished Craig Silvey’s new book Honeybee, while Myf is shock watching Norwegian drama series Exit on SBS.Show notes:Rudy Giuliani and Borat: https://www.theguardian.com/film/2020/oct/21/rudy-giuliani-faces-questions-after-compromising-scene-in-new-borat-filmJeffrey Toobin: https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/jeffrey-toobin-zoom-dick-incident-defense-1078166/What if Friendship, Not Marriage, Was at the Center of Life: https://www.theatlantic.com/family/archive/2020/10/people-who-prioritize-friendship-over-romance/616779/How Will We Tackle the Pandemic of Loneliness After Covid: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/oct/16/how-will-we-tackle-the-pandemic-of-loneliness-after-covidNASA: https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/nasa-s-osiris-rex-spacecraft-successfully-touches-asteroidHoneybee: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2020/sep/25/honeybee-by-craig-silvey-review-a-tender-but-uncomfortable-coming-of-age-storyExit: https://www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/program/exitEmail us: [email protected] On is recorded on the lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation.

The trailer for season 4 of The Crown is out and we are absolutely frothing for it. A new Crocs x Bieber collab has the internet ablaze again, and while younger folks have been behind the plastic clog for a while now, it feels as though the multi-generational tipping point is here. Meanwhile Rihanna has drawn attention to male body image with her brilliant inclusion of 2XL model Steven G in her latest undies campaign, while Billie Eilish’s appearance is being dissected once again (she’s having none of it). Scat talk makes a welcome appearance (for Zan) with news of an updated toilet for women in space, only 50 odd years since space flight began. And Stevie Nicks has jumped on board the TikTok meme train, but at what price? Meanwhile Myf has been digging into a Zadie Smith audiobook very much for the times, while Zan is banging on about the 4 Corners & Hack investigation into Tinder.

It’s been a big week in American politics and frankly, we gotta dive in. Love overtakes #ProudBoys, while a fifteen year old on TikTok becomes the voice of honesty out of the White House. An Idaho fella with a penchant for cranberry juice wins everyone over, including Mick Fleetwood. And Myf is binge watching Issa Rae's TV show Insecure, and hate-watching Emily in Paris. Meanwhile Zan discovers Myf has never seen an Attenborough nature doco, when she bangs on about his latest, "A Life On Our Planet". And we share memories of Eddie Van Halen, RIP.Show notes:Twitter Flooded with Gay Pride: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-10-05/twitter-flooded-with-gay-pride-images-using-proudboys/12731894Claudia Conway Isn’t Your Hermione: https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2020/10/kellyanne-conway-daughter-claudia-conway-isnt-your-hermione.htmlWhat To Make Of This Claudia Conway Business: https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2020/10/claudia-conway-tiktok-covidWhy is Dreams Back in the Charts?: https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2020/oct/05/why-is-dreams-by-fleetwood-mac-back-in-the-charts-and-why-is-everyone-skateboarding-along-to-itNathan Apodaca’s story: https://www.postregister.com/news/local/sudden-fame-that-almost-wasnt-nathan-apodaca-nearly-deleted-viral-video/article_d25efeea-f253-555f-a7d9-9f00acfe62a7.htmlEddie Van Halen: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/06/arts/music/eddie-van-halen-dead.htmlInsecure: https://www.hbo.com/insecure/season-01Emily in Paris: https://www.netflix.com/au/title/81037371David Attenborough: A Life On Our Planet: https://www.netflix.com/au/title/80216393Email us: [email protected] On is recorded on the lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation.

The death of a feminist icon has us reflecting on the power of song, and the impact her anthem had on the highest office in the land. Lizzo has made history on the cover of Vogue, and there’s a lot of feedback. We're also in awe of an incredible conversation between Michaela Coel and Donald Glover. In between we talk about puppet haute couture and a famous wood nymph celebrates her birthday in an eye opening way. Plus, Zan is banging on about a new bio on Kendrick Lamar and Myf's been reading Such A Fun Age by Kiley Reid.Show notes:Julia Gillard on Helen Reddy: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-10-01/helen-reddy-i-am-woman-julia-gillard/11810546Michaela Coel and Donald Glover have a lot to talk about: https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/culture/article/michaela-coel-donald-gloverLizzo in Vogue: https://www.indy100.com/article/lizzo-vogue-cover-october-issue-plus-size-body-positivity-us-election-blm-9714331Gwyneth Paltrow is a wood nymph: https://www.vulture.com/2020/09/gwyneth-paltrow-birthday-suit-photo.htmlMoschino puppet fashion show: https://edition.cnn.com/style/article/moschino-milan-fashion-week-puppets-spring-summer-2021/index.htmlThe Butterfly Effect: https://www.hachette.com.au/marcus-moore/the-butterfly-effect-how-kendrick-lamar-ignited-the-soul-of-black-americaSuch a Fun Age: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/605904/such-a-fun-age-by-kiley-reid/Email us: [email protected] On is recorded on the lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation.

The Emmy Awards happened on Zoom and we watched the highlights, how very 2020. We wrap the winners, the ground breakers, and the list of awards that – if anything – remind us of shows we might have missed. Not sure about Schitt's Creek yet? Myf explains why they took home the most gongs. Speaking of which, Rolling Stone have just updated their lengthy list of the 500 Best Albums of All Time. We have thoughts. An article on the wins of women’s midlife and misunderstanding of menopause has us questioning the narrative we’ve been told till now. If you’re hankering for Succession season 3, Zan has just the TV series for you, and we share a moving tribute to RBG - Ruth Bader Ginsburg - who passed away this week.Show notes:The 2020 Emmy Awards: https://www.vulture.com/article/2020-emmy-awards-ceremony-review.htmlRolling Stone 500: https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/best-albums-of-all-time-1062063/A Weird Liberation: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2020/sep/22/weird-liberation-women-wild-truth-midlife-menopauseThe Duchess: https://www.netflix.com/au/title/80223040The Rise of the Murdoch Dynasty: https://iview.abc.net.au/show/rise-of-the-murdoch-dynastyRBG: https://iview.abc.net.au/show/rbgEmail us: [email protected] On is recorded on the lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation.

The crossover of the wellness industry and conspiracy theorists is real (#DoYourResearch), and we explore why. Speaking of Venn diagrams, a new doco on Netflix has everyone talking about the power and intentions of social media. Kanye’s latest tweet-rant resonates, and a doco on Cathy Freeman’s iconic Olympic gold has us crying, and reflecting on what has and hasn’t changed in the past 20 years.Show notes:The wellness realm has fallen into conspiritualism: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2020/sep/15/the-wellness-realm-has-fallen-into-conspiritualism-i-have-a-sense-whyThe Social Dilemma: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaaC57tcci0Kanye West’s tweets: https://twitter.com/kanyewestSusan Rogers, the woman who created Prince’s vault: https://www.abc.net.au/doublej/music-reads/music-news/prince-producer-susan-rogers-take-5-vault-warner-fires-interview/12429818Louis Vuitton PPE: https://www.vogue.com/article/louis-vuitton-face-shield-luxury-ppeFreeman: https://iview.abc.net.au/show/freemanThe New Daily on Cathy Freeman: https://thenewdaily.com.au/sport/rio-olympics-2016/2020/09/15/cathy-freeman-olympic-run/Why Women Kill https://www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/program/why-women-killEmail us: [email protected] On is recorded on the lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation.

It’s the end of an era as Keeping Up With The Kardashians calls time. We reflect back on the empire (and wealth) this family has built, and why now is the right time to finish. An op-ed penned by robot AI has the human world in a tizz, meanwhile a phenomenon around bookstores and toilets has us oversharing. And everyone is talking about Billie Piper’s incredible performance in I Hate Suzie.Show notes:Keeping Up with the Kardashians: https://variety.com/2020/tv/news/keeping-up-with-the-kardashians-ending-season-20-e-kuwtk-1234762635/Travis Scott Meal: https://www.vulture.com/2020/09/travis-scott-meal-mcdonalds-review.htmlMariko Aoki Phenomenon: https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/629625/mariko-aoki-phenomenon-pooping-at-bookstoreA Robot Wrote This Entire Article: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/sep/08/robot-wrote-this-article-gpt-3AI Media Hype: https://thenextweb.com/neural/2020/09/08/the-guardians-gpt-3-generated-article-is-everything-wrong-with-ai-media-hype/The Circus: https://www.stan.com.au/watch/the-circusI Hate Suzie: https://www.stan.com.au/watch/i-hate-suzieEmail us: [email protected] On is recorded on the lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation.

The pandemic is proving to us how much we need to connect with one another. Luckily ingenuity + the internet is here to help this week. A longread on Katy Perry’s music has us digging into the shifting landscape of pop, artistic authenticity, social media, and more. And Michaela Coel’s acclaimed TV series has a surprise landing on Australian screens, finally!Show notes:The Joys of Looking Outside a Strangers Window: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2020/09/07/the-joys-of-looking-out-a-strangers-windowHuman Online: https://www.human.online/Penguin Parade live stream: https://www.penguins.org.au/virtual/live-penguin-tv/How Pop Music’s Teenage Dream Ended: https://www.theatlantic.com/culture/archive/2020/09/katy-perry-and-end-pop-smile-album/615757/I May Destroy You: https://junkee.com/i-may-destroy-you-streaming-australia/268862The Salisbury Poisonings: https://www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/program/the-salisbury-poisoningsLifeline: https://www.lifeline.org.au/Beyond Blue: https://www.beyondblue.org.au/Support Act Wellbeing Helpline: https://supportact.org.au/wellbeinghelpline/R U OK?: https://www.ruok.org.au/Email us: [email protected] On is recorded on the lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation.

The normally apolitical Ms Dolly Parton has spoken out in support of Black Lives Matter, which has us looking back at the Dolly Parton’s America podcast and thinking about the theme of “unity” that is dominating US politics this week. Cardi B has interviewed Joe Biden, and Cher is VOLUNTEERING (all caps) at her local post office. 2020, you’re a wild time! And a report auditing diversity on Australian broadcast news and current affairs has us shocked but not surprised. We chat about where the responsibility lies for change. Myf is also watching Indian Matchmaking and Zan bangs on about a new documentary by Steven Oliver (Black Comedy) about Captain Cook's arrival in Australia.Show notes:Dolly Parton speaks out: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-53783257Cardi B interviews Biden: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o71LtfUtSAoCher volunteers: https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/pop/9436872/cher-post-office-volunteering-struggleLack of diversity on Australian TV news: https://www.sbs.com.au/news/the-lack-of-cultural-diversity-in-australian-tv-news-has-been-revealed-in-a-new-reportLooky Looky Here Comes Cooky: https://www.sbs.com.au/nitv/article/2020/08/12/new-documentary-examines-captain-cooks-arrival-first-nations-perspective-1Indian Matchmaking: https://www.netflix.com/au/title/80244565Email us: [email protected] On is recorded on the lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation.

Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion have caused a ruckus online following the release of their sex positive collab “WAP”, but the reactions to it’s message are divided, and the hot takes are multiplying. We dive in. Meanwhile Nick Cave has weighed in on the cancel culture debate, and a couple of twins in Indiana are bringing us joy with their reactions to songs we thought everyone had heard.

The rise and (possible) fall of Ellen DeGeneres has been filling the feeds, and we’re deciphering what it all means. Beyoncé has dropped her new visual album "Black is King", and Myf has managed to find a Disney+ login to watch it. And even though there are no runways, we've found a fashion accessory to keep us going in this lockdown. To the dog park.Show notes:Ellen DeGeneres: https://www.theguardian.com/fashion/2020/aug/04/so-ellen-degeneres-is-not-as-nice-as-we-thought-shes-been-saying-that-all-alongBeyonce’s Black is King Pitchfork review: https://pitchfork.com/thepitch/beyonce-black-is-king-review-awe-inspiring-looks-muddled-messages/Black is King Does Everything It Needs To: https://www.vulture.com/2020/08/beyonce-black-is-king-disney-movie-review.htmlBlack is King: Let’s Discuss: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/31/arts/music/beyonce-black-is-king.htmlWhy We Must Be Careful When Watching Black Is King: https://www.essence.com/entertainment/only-essence/beyonces-black-is-king-criticism/Dog Poo Bag: https://www.pedestrian.tv/style/bottega-dog-poop-bag/Desus & Mero: https://www.stan.com.au/watch/desus-and-meroIn My Blood It Runs: https://inmyblooditruns.com/screenings/#watchathomeEmail us: [email protected] On is recorded on the lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation.

Black and white selfies of “women supporting women” have been flooding our feeds this week, but why? Alexandria Ocasia-Cortez’s speech on the floor of US Congress has us fist pumping, while Taylor Swift’s surprise album has the music world reviewing. We give our take, somewhat fearfully, due to Swiftie stans. And as it is written, so it shall be done; the KFC Crocs collab is finally here. Plus, Zan is in awe of Julia Baird's book Phosphorescence and Myf takes a journey with Miriam Margolyes.

It’s been a turbulent week for Kanye West, and the responses to his breakdowns has us again discussing the understanding and compassion towards mental health in celebrity culture. Netflix’s 3 seasons and you’re out policy prompts us to take a bigger look at the legacy of great television series, and how streaming services are disrupting the game. Plus, fashion face masks and what does the demise of Q Mag mean for long form music journalism? Myf also shares her love for a new show created by Mindy Kaling and Zan felt all the feelings reading Colson Whitehead's award-winning book The Nickel Boys.Show notes:Kim KW statement: https://pitchfork.com/news/kim-kardashian-west-releases-statement-on-kanye-mental-health/Mental Health stigma: https://www.pedestrian.tv/music/kanye-west-breakdown-jokes-mental-health-stigmas/Bauer closes 8 magazines: https://www.smh.com.au/business/companies/bauer-shuts-eight-magazines-including-nw-and-ok-in-covid-downturn-20200721-p55dyn.htmlThe end of Q Mag: https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/music/12184911/from-3-night-boozy-benders-to-throwing-tvs-out-of-windows-the-end-of-q-magazine-is-the-end-of-rock-n-roll/Netflix’s Cancel Culture: https://www.nme.com/features/cancel-culture-netflix-dead-to-me-ozark-2711544Never Have I Ever: https://www.netflix.com/au/title/80179190The Nickel Boys: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/223161/the-nickel-boys-by-colson-whitehead/Email us: [email protected] On is recorded on the lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation.
