#126 The Return, Blackout Tuesday, COVID Farshun

The world is a very different place to where we left you more than eight months ago! And we’re catching up on what we’ve learned in this new “normal”. Following the killing of George Floyd, and protests in both America and Australia on racial injustice, the music industry this week responded with a blackout. But the confused messaging on social media has people wondering if these conversation will continue beyond the news cycle. And in this bin fire of a year, rest assured, Myf has found some farshun news to lift your spirits. Strawberry crocs anyone?
