Episode description
A state memorial for Australian music’s biggest legend has taken place in Melbourne, Myf and Zan were there and reflect on the epic night.
The foot is staying on the pedal in the fight against sexism and sexual abuse, and we catch up on the conversations and head shaking reactions of the past week.
Meanwhile the Dark Mofo festival has commissioned, then cancelled an offensive art commission, but is an apology enough?
It’s the 20th anniversary of that time Björk wore a swan on the red carpet, and while we’re at it we look at other 2000s fashion moments that hint they’re making a comeback.
And Myf bangs on about something you maybe shouldn’t watch, while Zan is rivalling the paddle steamers week, with her hot tip.
