#173: Naomi Osaka, Bo Burnham, Channel 9

A tennis champion’s decision to not partake in press conferences has got everyone talking, and it raises questions again about old ways falling, and respecting mental health, rising.

Channel 9’s vaccination push has hit a bung note for everyone who doesn’t have straight blonde hair, and the internet is ablaze with millennial Bo Burnham’s new Netflix special, shot through the pandemic last year.

Meanwhile as Myf and Zan continue Lockdown 4.0, there’s plenty to watch and read.

Myf is loving a new show on SBS called Creamerie, while Zan is whipping through Tracey Thorn's book My Rock n’ Roll Friend.
