Welcome friends to another episode of Carly and Leah discussing this vast political hellscape from a feminist perspective.

It's not all bad news though! We've been sponsored!
We are joined by Dr Bianca Fileborn to discuss her research, shocking revelations of the 4 corners "expose" and the damaging nature of heteronormativity.
