We’re back in the podcast studio for a tea-stuffed whirlwind of poddy x. Ben and JLo are over it but maybe Jane Fonda called it, Macklemore cancels shows in over the gen0c!de in Sudan, a gay penguin is dead, Chappell Roan is setting boundaries, Roxanne Tickle wins her sex discrimination battle against Giggle, and Gen Zs obsession with nostalgia reaches a new level. See you on the other side cuties.

🖤💛❤️ We recorded this episode on the land of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people of the Kulin Nations, but Simran and Ryan met and grew up together on the land of the Kombumerri people, part of the Yugambeh Language Group. We’d like to acknowledge and pay our respects to Kombumerri annd Wurundjeri elders past and present. This always was and always will be Aboriginal land. We encourage settlers like us to Pay the Rent.
