Perhaps we all need to be a little more Beyonce about it.  The rules for drinking tea, why Queen Bey stole Superbowl half time this week, the toughest job interview questions from CEO's, and what does it mean if our churches are offering refugees sanctuary?

2015 has been a year where we've had unprecedented public conversation around domestic violence. The lynchpin?

Remember the days when you'd set the VCR? Or have to be home Sunday nights at 6:30pm to catch the once-a-week Disney movie? Or have to sit next to people on the couch and watch the same show, on the one screen? HA.  2015 was a game-changer for the way we watch TV.  A glut of streaming services entered Australia, feeding us quality TV programming, when we wanted it and how we wanted it.   The result? A rennaisance of quality programming that we devoured. Families that can spend a night all enjoying something different. But what's the major downside? You literally cannot talk to anyone for fear of spoilers.  Show notes: Your hosts are Monique Bowley, Mia Freedman and Jamila Rizvi.
