Hello lovely listeners, Strap in for another big news week on Culture Club. We start off with a catch up on Jasmine’s holiday before obsessing (like the rest of the internet) over Troye Sivan’s Melbourne home featured in Architectural Digest. A number of news sites got caught out by a Chaser prank who created a fake petition to change the name of Fairy Bread. This sparks a conversation around the media industry’s constant churning machine. In another instance of cis-men getting involved where they shouldn’t, German company Pinky Gloves received a bunch of backlash over their patronising period gloves. We discuss why we think they did this (when no one asked) and if there’s even a need for this product on the market. We will point out that at times we use the term ‘women’ synonymously with people who menstruate in this segment. We recognise that not only women menstruate. After this chat we move on to a breakdown of the TikTok Tramp Stamps drama. The band received huge criticism over their “fake” aesthetics, lyrics and old tweets.Through this drama we discuss what the term ‘industry plant’ actually is and why it has roots in sexism and nepotism.Indigenous social enterprise, Clothing the Gap, has received (another) cease and desist letter recently from American retailer The Gap and now have to change their name. Please support the amazing work they do by buying their old stock before they fully rebrand to Clothing The Gaps. Jas is recommending new political podcast, Old Boys Club, by journalists Justine Landis-Hanley and Matilda Bosley and Maggie recommends The Weekend Briefing with Benjamin Law by The Briefing. Our jingle, editing and production is by India Raine. You can email us at [email protected], find us on Instagram at @cultureclubpod, or on our personal accounts at @jasmineeskye and @yemagz.Phew!
