Episode description
The world of pop culture really delivered this week. If you’re confused, we got you. Kicking off with why Mischa Barton (yes, of The OC) is coming to Erinsborough. Yep, the Neighbours reboot just got bigger.
With the coronation of King Charles on the horizon, and commemorative dish has been announced, but Myf is not impressed. Meanwhile in the States, the Coachella Music Festival’s first weekend had some highs and lows, with everyone talking about Frank Ocean’s headline set. We dig into all we know, and also hear from the teenager who live streamed it all from her phone.
TikTok is reaching new highs with disgusting food and WaterTok. Your resident TikTok account holder (Myf) will explain it all. And we’re banging on about Netflix series Beef, and a new podcast from Jon Ronson.
