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.

Neutrality is dead and we literally killed it—but before we get to that, we’ve gotta chat about the rise of Neo-Naziism (sh*t’s bad) in Australia, our picks for the next pope, Jojo Siwa’s messy messy reality tv breakup, Lorde’s latest single, and the tea with Michelle Obama.

First things first! The Australian election is coming up soon and this is your CRITICAL reminder to check your enrolment with the Australian Electoral Commision. If you’ve moved in the past three years you gotta re-enrol so you can vote in the correct electorate for where you live. It takes literally a minute and you can do it online with the AEC.

Second of all, we recorded again! This week we talk about the devastating earthquake that struck Burma & Thailand, noting the difficulties Burma’s facing in recovery efforts. Trump comes up, as does a little yap about the election—and culturally speaking we’re all over Chappell Roan, White Lotus, and Paige and Craig.

Plus, today’s deep dive is into the raging debate between new and traditional media, and what you’re even meant to do to have a varied media diet.

Romance is on our minds this week—that and the incommunicable weight of the world’s slide into fascism.

This week we’re yapping about nine rules for dating, white women appropriating Indian culture, wild morning routines, and the latest YouTube trend.

Plus, Trump gutted the Department of Education (boo), the Australian Greens want to build missiles in Australia (???), and another election is coming up soon (Canada!)

Sending you HEAPS of love divas!
