Does Quaden Deserve Donations? & The Power Of #MeToo

The lovely Amila returns to the mic today! Scott is away, but she joins Gordon to delve into a few meaty topics.

We look at the sad, yet inspiring situation with indigenous 9-year-old Quaden Bayles. His GoFundMe is sitting at nearly $800,000 - but should the funds be spread out across multiple bullying victims and charities?

Old m8 (m8 is generous tbh) Harvey Weinstein was finally convicted in court, in a big win for the #MeToo movement. So with a sentencing incoming, we're wondering how much power do collective voices have these days?

And finally, Splendour's BIG 20th Anniversary lineup was released last week, but just how 'big' was it? We chat the lineup, nostalgia acts, the lack of female headliners + whether it's worth going.

Show notes from today's ep:
