August 20, 2020 07:20 - 25 minutes - 34.9 MBThe 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 ...
#136: WAP, Nick Cave, Phil Collins Reactions
August 13, 2020 06:50 - 28 minutes - 39.5 MBCardi 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. Myf bangs on about the new Trace true-crime podcast and Zan sticks it out with comedy-drama series The Pol...
#135: Ellen, Black is King, Dog Poo Bag
August 06, 2020 07:00 - 25 minutes - 34.7 MBThe 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-say...
#134: Challenge Accepted, Taylor’s folklore, KFC Crocs
July 30, 2020 07:20 - 33 minutes - 45.8 MBBlack 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....
#133: Kanye, Netflix Cancel Culture, Q Mag
July 23, 2020 06:40 - 28 minutes - 39.2 MBIt’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 ...
#132 Ausmusic's Me Too Moment, Cutting Cakes and Free Britney
July 16, 2020 07:40 - 29 minutes - 40.5 MBThe Australian music industry is experiencing its first public #MeToo moment and we’re wondering what it will take to create real systemic change, in this small scene. Meanwhile, an exceptional feature on Thandie Newton has us pumped up, and people cutting cakes that look like things that are not cakes has us confused. The Free Britney movement is rising again, giving new context to her social media posts. And a new look wetsuit has Myf absolutely jazzed. Show notes: The Australian Music In...
#131 Hamilton, High Fidelity, Harpers
July 09, 2020 06:15 - 32 minutes - 44.3 MBIt’s open season on open letters denouncing cancellation culture. But are the people calling the call outs just replicating what they’re fighting against? Yeezy season is well and truly upon us, with Kanye running for President. And we’re digging into the latest adaptation of High Fidelity, and what do we make of Hamilton on the small screen? Show Notes SMH Open Letter: https://www.smh.com.au/culture/movies/something-dangerously-askew-with-the-way-we-re-talking-about-race-and-the-arts-2020...

While Zan bangs on about Mrs America. Kanye and Kim have had a big week of music, fashion, and Freesian horses, and we’re here for it. All of it.

Speaking of the internet, various viral posts have us questioning truth, critical thinking, and where to from here, in this bin ...

June 25, 2020 07:30 - 30 minutes - 41.8 MBAn investigation into sexual harassment at the highest levels of Australian law has us talking about the systemic abuse of power that women are subjected to every day. It’s the end of the road for the Segway, and the start of a new project by Beyonce. And an American comedian has made our week with her Barbie Quarantine Dreamhouse. Show Notes: Myf’s Sovereign Hill Deb dress: https://twitter.com/MyfWarhurst/status/1275675671176663055 Zan’s “anti-Deb” dress: https://twitter.com/zanrowe/statu...
#128: Callout Culture or Accountability, 1997 Fashion, Debutante
June 18, 2020 06:50 - 31 minutes - 42.9 MBCan callout culture create actionable change? The removing and recontextualising of past problematic art is one thing, but we’re reminded to keep our foot on the pedal when there are some big issues at stake. A piece on 1997 fashion is a stretch (but of course we’ll take it), and a new podcast on Debutante Balls has us looking at this old tradition through a new lens. Show Notes Patrick Lenton in Junkee: https://junkee.com/black-lives-matter-protests-distraction/257545 It’s Not Callout Cul...
#127 A Reckoning, A Rowling, A Rousing
June 11, 2020 08:30 - 34 minutes - 47 MBThe world is responding to call outs for change, with major publications, streaming services, and organisations taking responsibility for past practices and platforming, and also reassessing how they work differently into the future. TV shows are buried, statues of slave traders are toppled, while some are only just learning that Tom Morello’s rage isn’t against his dishwasher. JK Rowling has doubled down on her stance on trans women, causing Potterheads (not least recent fan Zan) to question...
#126 The Return, Blackout Tuesday, COVID Farshun
June 04, 2020 06:05 - 32 minutes - 44.6 MBThe 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...
It is happening
June 03, 2020 02:00 - 43 seconds - 1020 KBIt's a Tiger King free zone, but there is so much that Myf and Zan have watched, read and heard that they can't wait to discuss with you. Yes, Bang On is back THIS WEEK. You won't have to wait long Bang Fam.

June 01, 2020 06:15 - 38 seconds - 907 KBMyf and Zan are back! After 9 months away they're almost ready to bang on again. Are YOU ready Bang Fam? Stay tuned...
#125: Greta Thunberg, JVN, Unbelievable
September 26, 2019 07:11 - 29 minutes - 40.5 MBMyf and Zan are reunited and catching up on another massive week. On the east coast of America, Greta Thunberg is making waves with her impassioned fight for climate change action but a certain type of man is bent on bringing her down. Meanwhile on the west, the Emmys are on and we’re dissecting the farshun on ground. Jonathan Van Ness is absent, but in the news for other reasons: a revealing interview with the New York Times. And we’re banging on for one last time for the year, before Zan sl...
#124: Hannah Gadsby, Muting Trolls, Berghain
September 18, 2019 07:36 - 28 minutes - 36.6 MBMyf wakes Zan up at a ridiculous hour in Germany, where she’s been busy trying to get into all the coolest clubs, before she begins her judging duties for the ANCHOR – Reeperbahn Festival International Music Award. We celebrate Hannah Gadsby’s Emmy win while questioning how Beyonce missed out on six awards. As well, suggested new rules for dealing with trolls have us thinking about the best way to deal with nastiness online. And of course we do what everyone’s doing and throw our faces into I...
#123: Parma, Caroline Calloway, Snowball
September 12, 2019 06:42 - 26 minutes - 36.6 MBMyf and Zan are dealing with another bad take by a repeat offender, and going in to bat for the chicken parma. A long read in The Cut has the internet ablaze, but why are we so thirsty for watching public take downs? And the unveiling of a statue of AFLW player Tayla Harris speaks for more than just one woman. We’re banging on about a gripping new podcast, and there’s some big Bang news to share with the Bang Fam too. Show notes: Chicken parma is the worst dish ever: https://www.goodfood.co...
#122: Flume, Taylor vs Tool, Unwanted Kisses
September 05, 2019 07:49 - 23 minutes - 32.3 MB#122: Flume, Taylor vs Tool, Unwanted Kisses Myf and Zan sink their teeth into another big week, and it’s a real peach. Flume has been setting the internet on fire with his antics at Burning Man, Taylor Swift fans don’t know or understand Tool and it’s a vibe. Meanwhile an unwanted kiss at a charity event sparks a conversation around the different greetings men and women receive, and the earliest invasions of personal space. And we have a fashion update. Oh yes we do. Flume: https://www.new...
#121: Missy Elliott, Pizzadilla, G7 wives
August 29, 2019 06:48 - 24 minutes - 33.7 MBWhat a smorgasbord of hot topics Myf and Zan have this week. The MTV VMA’s have given us eye candy for days, and peaked with two killer performances from legends, new and old. Someone has mapped and analysed Taylor Swift’s journey “London Boy”, and we’re here for it (and how much it’d cost), and a food video has taken things too far. Meanwhile the G7 is on, and the tenets of sexism are on full display with the leaders wives. Show notes: Missy Elliott at the VMA’s: https://www.youtube.com/wa...
#120: Billie Eilish, Branded Podcasts, Convict Slang
August 22, 2019 07:26 - 26 minutes - 36.8 MBMyf and Zan start their week with a story about dogs watching musicals, and go from there. A piece on how podcasts are pitching products has us thinking about the creative (and sometimes insidious) ways brands are selling. And a conversation between Pharrell Williams and Billie Eilish has us punching our fists in the air for the present. Meanwhile the 200th anniversary of a dictionary strikes a chord, and Myf is banging on about ponies (up there with Paddle Steamers). Oh and we fall into an A...
#119: BTS, Art & Instagram, Succession
August 15, 2019 06:32 - 25 minutes - 34.6 MBMyf and Zan are back from Brisbane and still flying high after a Bang Fam reunion in the sunshine state. South Korea’s most famous boy band is taking a breather, and it marks a shift in how the industry treats it’s biggest stars. A piece on art feeding your soul in the age of social media has us jazzed… How can art touch your soul when your soul is busy posing on Instagram? And Myf is continuing on her Rupert Murdoch fix with another TV series. Show notes: BTS take a break: https://www.theg...
#118: Bang On Live in Brisbane
August 08, 2019 07:26 - 32 minutes - 44.6 MBMyf and Zan finally make the pilgrimage to Brisvegas, for a special live recording of Bang On and boy howdy, do the Bang Fam show up! It’s our first date with Brissie so, with some help from the Guardian, we make all the right choices about etiquette. Tarantino’s latest epic hasn’t come out yet but – much like the internet – we’re here to dish some hot takes without having seen it. And a brilliant piece on the handbag being a weapon for the patriarchy has us absolutely razzed. Special guest Y...
#117: Queer Eye, Millennial Disney, Meghan Vogue
August 01, 2019 07:49 - 30 minutes - 41.4 MBWith a new season of Queer Eye out, Myf and Zan are digging in and noticing shifts in the Fab Five’s approach to makeovers. A rant online about who should and shouldn’t be at Disneyworld has Zan worked up (and planning her next visit). Meanwhile the September issue of British Vogue has a guest editor who’s turning the focus on others. And we’re banging on about two Australian docos that have us reflecting back on who we are. Queer Eye: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-07-28/queer-eye-karamo-...
#116: Masterchef, Cats, World Music
July 25, 2019 07:55 - 26 minutes - 36.1 MBYou’re hot then you’re cold but you’re always bang on. It’s the end of an era for our Masterchef judges and we have some spicy takes on Matt, George, and Gary’s departure. We’re calling into question a “definitive list” of the best bikkies, and have more than a few queries about the movie trailer for Cats. And in 2019, do we really need the category of “world music”? Ahead of WOMAD in the UK, a great opinion piece sparks the convo once again. Masterchef: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-07-2...
#115: Princess Di, 007, Chernobyl
July 18, 2019 07:21 - 24 minutes - 34.1 MB#115: Princess Di, 007, Chernobyl Myf and Zan are reunited after their respective Bali sojourns, and there is a LOT to catch up on. David Campbell truly believes his son is Princess Di reincarnated so there’s that. Meanwhile the internet is buzzing with a new 007 in town, and Lil Nas X checking in with Keanu and Dolly. We’re in front of the box too, banging on about tv shows hyped and hidden online. Show notes: Instagram hiding “likes”: https://www.abc.net.au/triplej/programs/hack/instagra...
#114: Women’s World Cup, Jeffrey Epstein, Influencers
July 11, 2019 07:47 - 27 minutes - 38.1 MBZan invites Jan Fran back into the Bang Fam this week, while Myf is on hols. The victory of the US Women’s Team in the World Cup has everyone talking, particularly about the pay gap. Jeffrey Epstein is having his day of reckoning, sparking a discussion around complicity, connection, and whether the structures that protect abusers are shifting in the wake of #MeToo. And a brilliant long read in Vanity Fair about linen loving Byron Bay babes has us digging into the social media sell once again....
#113: Logies, Taylor Vs Scooter, Michael Hutchence
July 04, 2019 07:31 - 29 minutes - 40.6 MBMyf’s away so Clare Bowditch is coming to play as a special guest Banger! It’s been a juicy week too, with the Gold Logie going to Gleeson. Should we / do we care about the Logies? Taylor Swift’s public fight for her master recordings gets an explanation from Clare, as we ponder the power of the artist. And Celine Dion is in Paris for Couture Fashion Week. Enough said. Meanwhile we’re banging out about a brilliant new music doco, and going Dry in July. Email us: [email protected]
#112: Being Beyonce’s Assistant, Body Makeup, Rethinking Productivity
June 27, 2019 06:54 - 29 minutes - 40.1 MBWhile Zan’s away Myf and Meshel Laurie play - and boy, are they hopeless at the new choose your own adventure twitter game, Being Beyonce’s Assistant For The Day. As well, we have ALL the thoughts on Kim Kardashian’s new makeup range for the body - and while we’re at it, we do some deep reflection on how to live our lives in a post social media age. Show notes: Being Beyonce’s Assistant For A Day: https://twitter.com/CORNYASSBITCH/status/1142591156884127744 Jameela Jamil on Kim Kardashian’...
#111: Garlic, Gay Anthems, Gender bans
June 20, 2019 07:10 - 25 minutes - 35.2 MBThe internet has gifted Myf and Zan this week, with shortcuts to cooking glory and cat filters for days. Pride Month in America is sparking lots of conversations about queer subcultures becoming the mainstream, and we’re digging into all the hot takes. And over in the UK big organisations are taking affirmative action on gender equality. Beryl pops by too. God love her. Show notes: Pakistani politician’s cat filter: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-06-18/cat-filter-left-on-during-pakistani-...
#110: Handmaid's Jenner, Cool to be Alone, Big Little Lies
June 13, 2019 06:00 - 25 minutes - 35.4 MBMyf and Zan are capturing the week that was including birthday parties and OH BOY Kylie Jenner came up with a clanger of a theme for one of hers. An opinion piece on society’s view of singledom resonates deeply with us, while we’re planning our Golden Girls retirement and – for Myf at least – it’ll be on a boat. And the return of an HBO series has Zan absolutely razzed for the sport of watching Streep actor the shit out of it. Show notes: Kylie Jenner’s Handmaid's Tale Party: https://www.sb...
#109: Helicopter Woman, Rich Musicians, DNA Travel
June 06, 2019 06:13 - 24 minutes - 33.7 MBMyf and Zan are spinning you right round baby, right round. Oh boy. Thank you internet. A helicopter rescue has us in tears, meanwhile it’s raining money in Jay-Z and Rihanna’s world but music isn’t necessarily the maker. A strange collab between Ancestry and commerce seems very on the nose, but Myf is consoling herself with Digestives, so we’re all good. Show notes: Helicopter Woman: https://junkee.com/helicopter-woman/208658 Jay-Z billionaire: https://www.bbc.com/news/business-48503616 ...
#108: Bong On, CWA, Fleabag
May 30, 2019 06:47 - 26 minutes - 36.5 MBMyf and Zan are reunited, but reflecting back on a lot of things for good reason this week. A listening-at-half-speed mistake in the Bang Fam has us on the floor, while the CWA is proving that women who band together and fight the good fight, rule. There’s more updates on Moby and Yiayia, while we’re devouring TV shows like nobody's business. And in Breaking Bang, we’re bringing Bang On Live to Brissie for the first time! Show notes: Bang On Live in Brisbane: https://www.abc.net.au/doublej/...
#107: Moby, Cardi B, Celine Carpool Karaoke
May 23, 2019 06:52 - 22 minutes - 29.7 MBMyf is dialling in from Rome, in the days following Eurovision, cos she can. A new Moby biography detailing the women he “tried to date” has the internet abuzz and we have thoughts. Oh we have thoughts. Cardi B is proving why her social media rants are always ripe for remixing, and Celine Dion has just won Carpool Karaoke. Meanwhile Myf is sitting down to Wine Country and we’re all moving the Bang Fam to Italy. Show notes: Moby biography: https://jezebel.com/mobys-memoir-quickly-becoming-de...
#106: Eurovision, Socks n’ Sandals, Spritz
May 16, 2019 07:01 - 21 minutes - 29.7 MBMyf and Zan are looking at the endless drone of election campaigning, and dark news out of Alabama and sending back a reprieve of light and fluffy fodder for our Bang Fam. With Eurovision in full swing, Myf joins you from bed in Tel Aviv where the sun is just coming up. All the goss from the world’s biggest song competition awaits. Meanwhile fashion has gone a bit State School Science Teacher, but Myf is one step ahead of the curve, and a hot take on Aperol Spritz has the internet abuzz. Sho...
#105: Met Gala, #MyMum, Yiayia Next Door
May 09, 2019 06:42 - 29 minutes - 40.1 MBIt’s farshun Christmas with the annual Met Gala on show. So many thoughts. So many hot takes. So much to dissect. The Daily Telegraph’s attack on a politician misses the mark on the realities of women’s sacrifice, but the internet restores the balance, and we’re ready to hand over cold hard cash for a unique Madonna meet 'n’ greet. Meanwhile, Yiayia next door is bringing Zan much joy, while Russian spies have got Myf razzed. And Dario makes a comeback. Show notes: Why Met Gala Attendees Alw...
#104: Taylor Swift, Slacker Culture, Sally Rooney
May 02, 2019 06:34 - 26 minutes - 35.8 MBMyf and Zan are in their pastels and digesting the week in pop culture. Tay Tay has been accused of ripping off Bey, but we’re wise to it. A great article about the pendulum swinging back towards slacker culture has us ready for the revival, and the darkness of the latest Game of Thrones was intentional, but not helpful for most of the world’s viewers. Don’t worry, it’s a spoiler free zone. Meanwhile Zan is finally convinced by a pair of Crocs. Myf was already there. Show notes: Taylor Swif...
#103: Sri Lanka, Chill Music, Adele
April 24, 2019 06:35 - 27 minutes - 37.8 MBMyf and Zan’s conversations around the differing values of culture in the wake of tragedy rises again, this time following the horrific terrorist attacks in Sri Lanka. On a completely other tip, an article on the rise of chill music has us divided, and the public ownership of pop stars in a time of personal pain, leaves a bad taste in our mouths. In a week of darkness, discrimination of the astrological kind in a share house gives us some light relief. Show notes: Why do people care about N...
#102: Notre Dame, Beyonce, Game of Thrones
April 18, 2019 07:29 - 27 minutes - 37.4 MBMyf 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 r...
#101: Black Holes, Death of Genre, Alan Partridge
April 11, 2019 06:36 - 25 minutes - 35.1 MBMyf and Zan are razzed about the photographic evidence of a supermassive black hole, although it’s fair to say Myf is somewhat critical of the quality of the snap. A chart topping, genre defining song has us questioning the value of traditional gatekeepers to everyday music fans. And an article about poo gives us the opportunity to talk about poo. Plus in another world first (soz Black Hole, you’re not the only news today), we’re going Instagram Live for the very first time for a group Bang F...
#100: April Fools, Rock n Roll Hall of Fame, The Century
April 04, 2019 05:16 - 29 minutes - 40.9 MBMyf and Zan mark 100 episodes of Bang On! Holy hell, where did that time go? April Fools has rolled around, but the foolin’ has made way for the hard sell and we’re more than a little cynical of it all. A red carpet moment from Robert Smith of The Cure has sparked a bigger conversation around entitlement, and an article about reality TV has Myf vindicated. Plus we mark the century with a few memories, and it wouldn’t be an occasion if Beryl didn’t drop by. Show Notes: Fyre Festival Asia foo...
#99: Jagged Little Pill, Mel & Geri, Jundies
March 28, 2019 05:32 - 23 minutes - 32.6 MBMyf and Zan have found 2019’s first bad take, and we’re digging in. NASA have neglected to sort out spacesuits for a history making spacewalk and we’re facepalming, and news of a Spice Girls romp has us cynical for why we’re hearing it now. Plus there’s a double fashion update, with Myf here for all of it. Show notes: NASA Astronauts: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-03-26/nasa-cancels-first-all-female-spacewalk-no-fitting-suits/10942166?pfmredir=sm Make-up kit shuttle: https://airandspace...
#98: Jacinda’s Leadership, Janet’s Glasto, Car Koala
March 21, 2019 05:34 - 25 minutes - 34.9 MBMyf and Zan find strength in the compassion and empathy of Jacinda Ardern, and reflect on how differently Australian politicians and media reacted to the Christchurch terrorist attack. Egg Boy has been a beacon of hope in a dark week, but has the focus on him come at the expense of a much harder conversation? Meanwhile Glastonbury has been announced and Janet Jackson has gone the ol’ cut and paste on the poster, and the sweet relief of good news has come in the form of a hitchhiking koala. S...
#97: Michael Jackson, Cancellation Culture, 90s Websites
March 14, 2019 05:59 - 29 minutes - 40.2 MBIt’s another heavy week but thank dog we have each other to debrief with. Myf and Zan have watched the Leaving Neverland documentary, and unpack the way the story was told and the stories we told ourselves. In the wake of the latest allegations, is it possible to cancel a cultural giant? Is it right? And what does it mean for the conversations that are silenced, with it? On a (blessedly) lighter note, an archive of websites from the dawn of the world wide web has us reminiscing about the gold...
#96: Luke Perry, R Kelly, Flat Earthers
March 07, 2019 07:26 - 26 minutes - 24.6 MBMyf and Zan digest another, quite frankly, heavy week. After our 90210 reboot chat last week, it was a shock to hear the news of Luke Perry’s sudden death. In the same 24 hours, Keith Flint of The Prodigy also passed. We reflect on what they meant to us, in our formative years. An intense interview between Gayle King and R Kelly has everyone talking, and a tiny farshun update is quite frankly, the release we need this week. Meanwhile, the need to belong and be validated, informs what we’re bo...
#95: Oscars, Fat Rat, 90210
February 28, 2019 05:51 - 23 minutes - 31.8 MBMyf and Zan relive their favourite moments from the Oscars, and dig into that performance from Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper. A fat rat trapped in a manhole in Germany has brought the world great joy, while a reported reboot of Beverly Hills 90210 isn’t quite what you think it is. And we’re banging on about some heavy stories that need to be told. Show notes: Shallow at the Oscars: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPJjwHAIny4 Still Processing on the Oscars: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/21...
#94: Lagerfeld, Zip Jeans, Dirty John
February 21, 2019 06:28 - 24 minutes - 33.4 MBMyf and Zan reflect on designer Karl Lagerfeld’s legacy, good and bad, in the wake of public reaction to his passing. A story from an Air France flight has us squealing, and our DM’s have been flooded with notifications after Alexander Wang released some very special jeans. And the adaptation of a podcast to the small screen has us completely hooked. Show notes: Anti-Condolences for Lagerfeld: https://wearyourvoicemag.com/culture/anti-condolences-karl-lagerfeld Jameela Jamil on Lagerfeld: ...
#93: Grammys, Ryan Adams, Russian Doll
February 14, 2019 06:18 - 25 minutes - 35.3 MBMyf and Zan have all eyes on farshun at the Grammy Awards cos that’s what it’s all about, right? A New York Times article on Ryan Adams has us thinking about abuse of power, and the music industry’s day of reckoning. Myf is quizzing Zan on whether her apartment is a man repeller, and we’re shredding through a couple of brilliant Netflix series. Show notes: Eurovision: https://www.sbs.com.au/programs/eurovision Grammys farshun: https://www.cosmopolitan.com/style-beauty/fashion/a26134675/bes...
#92: Superbowl, Hottest 100 Revote, Black Saturday
