Hi, hello! We kick things off on a really light note this week: with an existential crisis (seriously what is the point of life?) that started off as an off-air chat that we decided to hit record on. Then it’s onto Gen Z, who are they single-handedly saving democracy. Why are they so much cooler than us? And while we’re at it - why do we have a royal family in 2020? Is the monarchy the next casualty as we start tearing down outdated monuments? Plus, with Ansel Elgort the latest male celebrity to be accused of sexual assault, we dissect the troubling power dynamics when celebrities date their fans. Plus, if we all agree that it’s fundamentally creepy for grown men to date teenagers, why are we so cool with it socially? Do Drake and Leonardo DiCaprio get passes for their creepy behaviour simply because they’re hot? All this and more.
