About this listen

💖 The weeklyish podcast for burnt out girlies & personality hires trying to stay Broadly Relevant, with new episodes every Monday at 6PM (AEDT) We cover the news, broadly. Think pop culture vibe checks, brain-scratching deep dives, and a sufficient amount of shit-talking. Featuring a professional journo and indie theatre-maker, we’re the types to unapologetically use words like zeitgeist and eras interchangeably. Hosted by high school best friends Simran Pasricha and Ryan Hamilton and recorded from our home in Narrm, Australia. Can’t wait to chat soon, cuties 💋Copyright 2025 Simran Pasricha & Ryan Hamilton Politics & Government Social Sciences

    May 27 2025

    This weeks episode is one of our best, if you don’t mind us saying. We dive into neo-luddism and the way some folks in Gen Z are rejecting technology—I mean how else are we meant to survive the information hurricane we’re living through. Plus, we chat about Kamala and Lorde’s trips to Australia, Victoria’s Machete Ban, Savers, Star Wars, and Gucci’s not-sari.

    💖 We hope you love Episode 8 of the podcast for burnt out girlies trying to stay Broadly Relevant, hosted by your favourite personality hires, Simran Pasricha & Ryan Hamilton. Stay tuned for new episodes every Monday at 6PM (AEDT)
