#163: March4Justice, Elliot Page, Croc Undies

Bang On ·

2021/03/18

100,000 people marched against sexism and sexual assault this week, and Myf was one of them. We unpack the March4Justice rallies, which voices are being amplified, and what happens next.Elliot Page has made history as the first trans man on the cover of TIME magazine, telling his story to a huge audience.And “Croc Undies” are two words which should frankly be illegal when paired, but here we are. There’s a Chatroulette update (remember Chatroulette?), and Zan and Myf are in front of the telly

There’s one big story in pop culture this week, and we are all in. The revelations, the racism, Piers, Oprah, the Empire, and Myf’s always sizzling takes on the Royal Family. We’re here for youElsewhere, a film called Cocaine Bear has been greenlit, and if that piqued your interest then wait till you hear what else we know about said bear.A perfect pair of pyjama’s has been designed in Japan, and we’re banging on about some great reads (short and long form) from food writer Claire Dent and futurist

#161: Incandescent Rage, Grace Tame, Nomadland

Bang On ·

2021/03/04

The events of the past week have us angry, frustrated, and exhausted. We sit with that, and with the knowledge that it’s been happening for a long time. But also that this very public reckoning means things are different, the conversation is shifting. As our leaders offer statements that diminish the experiences of survivors, Australian of the Year Grace Tame’s speech at the National Press Club is a hopeful and rallying call, and huge call out on how we discuss and deal with sexual abuse.

#160: Daft Punk, Will TV Confront COVID?, Obama &...

Bang On ·

2021/02/25

Two boomers have started a podcast, and we’re very interested in their home recording setup. Another duo have called it a day, and we reflect back on the soundtrack Daft Punk have given our lives. As big TV shows like Sex & the City, Succession, and Curb Your Enthusiasm go back into production, the question of COVID as a storyline is front of mind. Should TV reflect, or escape reality? And the reactions following “Framing Britney Spears” keep coming, as two women held under the spotlight as kids

Bang On ·

2021/02/18

We woke to a Facebook devoid of Australian news content, and so much more. Myf and Zan talk about how the social media giant is playing poker with the Australian government and frustrating it’s millions of local users and communities. Brittany Higgins’ allegations of rape within Parliament House have caused shockwaves across the country, and differing responses from our leaders. How do we value the women in our lives? And Justin Timberlake has publicly apologised to Britney Spears and Janet Jackson,

Bang On ·

2021/02/09

It’s Super Bowl time which means (to us) a halftime show of high spectacle and lots of pyrotechnics. How did The Weeknd stack up against the legacy of roof jumps and left sharks? A New York Times doco on Britney Spears’ conservatorship has everyone talking, and us reflecting on our own judgements as we watched her rise and fall. An English parish meeting on Zoom has gone viral for all the right reasons, while Grand Slam tennis is providing the fashun hit we need. And a new social networking app

2021/02/04

It’s awards season! And the hit and miss nature of the Golden Globes never fails to disappoint. We analyse the nominations. Dolly Parton has had another big week of sweet scents and stinkers, while Myf is exploring the world of casual friendships and how important “weak ties” are to us and our human ecology. Allegations of abuse and coercion against Marilyn Manson raise a lot of questions around the concept of consent, and we’re banging on about brilliant watches on screens – big and small -

#156: January 26, The Honours System, It's a Sin

Bang On ·

2021/01/28

The conversation around how, when, and if to mark January 26 as "Australia Day" continues, and Myf and Zan talk about how circular it’s becoming. The honours system is under scrutiny, as we question the people given the highest awards for service in Australia, and who decides it. Cardi B has made Hottest 100 history with Myf’s anthem of 2020. And pandemic fashion continues to influence the latest trends (Zan is ready to invest), while Myf’s Tupperware spew bowl chat has “brought up” some memories

Bang On ·

2021/01/21

Hours after US President Biden is sworn in we’re giving our hot takes on the important moments of Inauguration Day: the brooch, the coats, and Melania's kaftan. Speaking of fashion, US Vogue has been criticised over its cover image choice of history making VP Kamala Harris. We dig into the discussion around it. And convicted murderer and known abuser Phil Spector has died; we reflect on the “lone genius” myth, and the industry that allows certain men to make others suffer for their art. Meanwhile

Bang On ·

2021/01/14

We’re back for another year of Bangin’ On, and with plenty to sink our teeth into. Sex and the City is back too, but in what form and why? Kim and Kanye are reportedly on the rocks; we do what we can with the information at hand. And sea shanties have gone viral on TikTok, which is frankly joyful, but also speaks to a larger instinct towards community. A new year is an opportunity for taking stock and setting some 2021 goals, but how do you do that when there’s so much uncertainty in the world? Zan

2020/12/17

Well we’ve come to the end of a year, and while everyone does their 2020 wrap we give this bin fire our own Bang On spin. Plenty to love (and suddenly remember) about it; from WAP to Dreams, hyper realistic cakes and hyper ugly Crocs. Fashion didn’t sleep, but did resemble a waste bag, and Dolly saved us all. It was a year of challenges too; in some cases good ones, and we reflect on the reckonings we’ve felt, in this tumultuous 12 months. Thank you Bang Fam for your endless love, support, and lols

It’s over to you Bang Fam, as you share your recommendations for summer in a bumper Bang Back special episode.

Bang On ·

2020/12/03

It’s a big week for trans awareness, with actor Elliot Page coming out and highlighting the realities of many others in the trans community. A great piece in the Washington Post on how COVID has changed arts criticism has us thinking more broadly about the ways we’re shifting for good, including in live gig accessibility. It’s quite a time for butts in fashion too, and of course we have many thoughts. Cher has rescued an elephant, and another monolith has popped up; Myf has the breaking news on

Bang On ·

2020/11/26

It’s been a big week for music statues, with the ARIA Awards going down, and the Grammy nominations going up. Diversity on both fronts is on the rise, but The Weeknd ain’t happy. A great read on a new generation’s viewing of Diana’s “princess story” has us also reflecting on the shifting stories around cultural institutions, while an op-ed penned by The Duchess of Sussex shows she continues to do things her way. It’s our 150th episode too, so a good chance to introduce a new segment: Things We Don’t

2020/11/19

Dolly Parton cured Coronavirus! ABC Fact Check: not quite, but how wonderful that her $1 million donation towards the development of a vaccine is reaping dividends; we celebrate the Queen. Speaking of monarchies, the new season of The Crown has dropped and everyone is googling whether or not Diana dressed as a tree. But has artistic licence been taken too far? The success of double screen friendly shows like Emily in Paris has us looking into the concept of “ambient tv”, while we’re grateful that

Bang On ·

2020/11/12

It’s been a week for finding, and figuring out women’s place in power in 2020. An ABC 4 Corners expose on the power imbalance between men and women in Canberra has been seamlessly followed by a political press conference confirming the point. Meanwhile a statue erected to pay tribute to a feminist hero has many confused and outraged about the gaze it was sculpted in. Australia Post has backed a campaign to include Indigenous place names on letters and packages, which has us reflecting on the every
