It’s post Valentines Day and Myf and Zan are catching up on what we did, and thinking about what maybe we should do instead. The ideas of romantic love have long been flawed and out of date, is it time to rethink the stories we tell ourselves? The start of this week also kicked off with a history making moment for hip-hop and culture, as the Super Bowl half time show celebrated the world’s biggest genre for the first time. And last year we were languishing, what now? A new piece on how to get out of the rut has us thinking, in this third year of the pandemic. Thin eyebrows are back in fashion, and we are not having it! Bang Fam bang back to us about our chat on Pam & Tommy and we’re hear to listen. And we’re banging on about a new book on history from a non-male perspective, and the film The Lost Daughter.
