Myf and Zan are thanking the internet angels for a Q&A with Quincy that is giving us life. The Super Bowl halftime show fell a little flat except for one saving grace, and Zan is very excited about rockets and space while Myf is devouring books on creativity. Oh and there’s a Farshun update.

Myf and Zan get excited about big tours coming, and Michael Bolton on a Tuesday. The founder of IKEA has died but left a flatpack legacy that has become the cornerstone of all relationships. And Lorde is gone but not forgotten from the Grammy stage and we have thoughts on that.

Myf and Zan are back after summer break and speed rounding their way around the summer. A new app taps into art and narcissism and we love it, and more tech giant founders are talking about the addictions we’re lured into, with our smart phones. And we’ve been busy watching depictions of real people on screen, high and low brow alike.

The Real Thing celebrates unique Australian characters.

On this episode: Meet Lizzy Gardiner. Her early life included minimal supervision, late nights at the Dubbo drive-in and a stint in Papua New Guinea. Lizzy's unusual experiences made her a perfect fit for the turbulent film industry, where she won an Oscar for the costumes in Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. But she never thought a bold decision to wear a dress made out of credit cards would be part of her legacy.

How Do You Sleep At Night? is a new podcast hosted by Hack’s Sarah McVeigh. It’s about people who live their lives in the face of judgement.

On this episode: Charlie stabbed and killed two innocent men on a night out in Brisbane in the '90s. Retrace the night he took their lives, meet his mum and discover how he lives with himself. And a warning — there’s very strong language in this episode. It also discusses extreme violence.

A special treat from Bang On Live, Myf & Zan give out awards for Artist Of The Year, Bang Backer Of The Year and of course, the greatest moment in #farshun

Myf and Zan talk about the short story every else has been talking about this week, and reflect on the huge year of uprising in the wake of Harvey Weinstein. It’s been epic. A refresher in the form of Vegemite icy poles has one of us excited, and with holidays on the horizon we’re banging on about stuff one last time. Thanks for being the best Bang Fam a coupla women could dream for.

It’s been a huge week for Myf and Zan, and we talk about all the ch-ch-ch-changes in our working and creative worlds in 2018. Zan has been hanging out with Paul McCartney, so lets you know what went down when the microphones weren’t on, and Sia’s rejection of fame has been called into question in her use of Maddie Ziegler as her public face.

Zan gives the goss on what happened backstage at the ARIA Awards when she was wearing Myf’s clothes (creep), and the annual Bad Sex Awards for literature have begun again! We’re talking Royal Family news and how “woke” the Windsors are becoming, and banging on about banging. Kind of. It’s been a big week.

Myf and Zan are all in on The Guardian’s bird poll, and casting our votes. Allegations of sexual misconduct have been made against the lead singer of Brand New, unleashing more than a couple of think-pieces on mid 00’s emo music’s problem with women. And Zan has been reading from the paper of a 10 year old journalist, while Myf is floored by Hannah Gadsby’s swan song.
