#94: Lagerfeld, Zip Jeans, Dirty John

Myf and Zan reflect on designer Karl Lagerfeld’s legacy, good and bad, in the wake of public reaction to his passing. A story from an Air France flight has us squealing, and our DM’s have been flooded with notifications after Alexander Wang released some very special jeans. And the adaptation of a podcast to the small screen has us completely hooked.

#93: Grammys, Ryan Adams, Russian Doll

Myf and Zan have all eyes on farshun at the Grammy Awards cos that’s what it’s all about, right? A New York Times article on Ryan Adams has us thinking about abuse of power, and the music industry’s day of reckoning. Myf is quizzing Zan on whether her apartment is a man repeller, and we’re shredding through a couple of brilliant Netflix series.

#92: Superbowl, Hottest 100 Revote, Black Saturday

Myf and Zan are bored shitless by the Superbowl Halftime Show, but the absence of a real headliner has more to say about the power of protest than the lack of Levine’s clothing. A Hottest 100 revote reveals that you shouldn’t mess with history, and confirms that songs can triumph as emotional memory above all else. We’ve got the latest Fyre Festival update, and Myf is overjoyed at a new season of Call My Agent, while Zan is compelled by a brilliant account of an Australian tragedy. Show notes: T...

#91: Hottest 100, KAK + Yumi, Eggshell Skull

Myf and Zan are unpacking what is, on record, the slowest tempo Hottest 100 in history and what it means. The many discussions around Kerri-Anne Kennerly and Yumi Stynes on Studio 10 have us diving in too, while Oscar noms are bringing joy to a certain Brit. The Fyre Fest flow-on online spirals us into interesting new territory, and Zan is saying Konbanwa to the new Terrace House season, while Myf is flicking the pages of a brilliant new Australian book. Show notes: The Changing Sound of the Hot...

#90: ICYMI, Fyre, Bros

Myf and Zan are back and banging into 2019! We catch up on the important stuff we missed over the break; from Kondo to Cardi B, to the 10 Year Challenge. And in the wake of two excellent docos on the failed Fyre Festival, we unpack the bigger story it tells of where we are right now. There’s farshun, we’re banging on, and most of all we're stoked to be back with the Bang Fam.

‘Tis the season! Myf and Zan wind up Bang On for the year by going shopping with Gwyneth, while Myf has Zan’s stocking stuffed with some limited edition Crocs.

#88: Victoria's Secrets, The Bad Sex Awards, Goat Yoga

Myf and Zan discuss the Victoria's Secret show and wonder if it still has a place in 2018 as it is, Zan does a call out to designers urging them to create 'fancy evening wear' for people with curves and Myf is here for the new [potential] craze of Goat Yoga. Plus, it's that time of the year again - The Bad Sex Awards are back!

#87: ARIAs, Knickers, Lena Dunham

Zan backs up after the ARIA Awards with minimal sleep but maximal stories about Australian music’s night of nights. Knickers the giant cow has everyone talking and we’re here for it. And a long long read about Lena Dunham has us questioning our own reactions to this divisive creator. Meanwhile Melania Trump has decked the halls once again and oh boy, it’s gonna be a bloody Christmas.

#86: Iceberg, Pamela, House of Cards

Myf and Zan wrap the week of music, art, life and lettuce much like an iceberg wraps it’s perfect self in it’s own glad wrap. We discuss the bogan leaf and it’s comeback, while on telly we’re watching the reactions of different men to Scott Morrison’s comments about Pamela Anderson. The plotline for the doomed Sex and the City 3 movie has been revealed and explains everything about the aforementioned doom, and Myf gets Zan on the couch for some deep therapy in her television choices.

#85: Pellegrini’s, Peach + Boss, Victim or Vixen

Myf and Zan wrap the week that was, highs and lows, and farewell a Melbourne icon who welcomed all. Madonna has made an incredible self-aware SIX MINUTE ad for her facial roller and we’re here for it. Channel 10 have rebranded with some unfortunately gendered channel names, in 2018. And in a week of frustrating stories being told by men, of women’s experiences, a piece on Monica Lewinsky has us thinking about who gets to live in victimville.

#84: Spice Girls, Homesteading, The Good Place

Myf and Zan are ready to spice up your life with another week that was. The rumoured reunion has finally been confirmed, but where’s Posh and why is she posing that way? Myf is hankering for a simpler life and considering joining the Homesteading Movement, and we’ve found a website that lists all the words that became words the year you were born. Hours of fun. Meanwhile we’re banging on about books and TV and singing a bit too. Standard. Show notes: Spice Girls: https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpzb...

#83: Halloween, Horror, Bodyguard

Myf and Zan and Beyonce are celebrating Halloween in our own little ways, while a timely take on the changing social commentary within horror movies has us thinking. Prince's family are trying to trademark the colour purple (no jokes) and we're a bit flummoxed by that. And we're both a little worn out so watching heaps of Netflix in bed at home.
