#249: Alone, Taylor and Matty, Hipster turns 20

It’s been a big week of finales, and we celebrate the iconic winner of Alone Australia and those moments following the reveal. Succession and Ted Lasso have wound up too, but don’t be scared; Myf is still catching up on Succession, and Zan on Lasso, so no spoilers here for now.

As we hit record, breaking news about Samantha AKA Kim Cattrall’s appearance on the Sex In the City reboot has us shook (and jazzed). And speaking of reboots, The Office will be getting a local makeover with it’s first ever female boss.

The rumoured relationship between Taylor Swift and Matty Healey has a lot of people talking, and plenty of Swiftie’s responding. Is their involvement in her personal life crossing the line? And 20 years on, who or what was the “hipster”, and what has that reaction to “normie” culture become today?

We’ve been listening keenly of late too, with Myf banging on about Normal Gossip, and Zan loving the Saving the Franklin podcast.
