Myf and Zan are digesting another big week, and talking about the significance of Notre Dame. The fire in this iconic Parisian building caused a global reaction, but what of the other monuments that receive less attention? Is our value of culture firmly rooted in western traditions? We’ve watched Beyonce’s “Homecoming” film with you, and have plenty of thoughts buzzing in our Beyhive. Game of Thrones has returned for it’s swansong, and we’re diving into some hot takes from it’s debut. And a real estate ad has everyone talking (and Myf wanting to change careers).
