Hey, it’s Ben Lee! The singer songwriter recently unmasked on The Masked Singer Australia joins BL + BW to talk about his turn on reality TV, his new single Born for this Bullshit and its sexy video clip, the pandemic (blargh) and, well, it’s Ben Lee so a whole bunch of other topics too.

The Television Academy continues to disappoint us with its conservative choices at the Emmys; The Crown will continue interminably until a republic is declared. We want justice for Michaela Cole and Pen15 but we are glad that Jean Smart won for Hacks.

Also: The Newsreader finale delivers; Ben Law sings Horses, Daryl Braithwaite’s iconic cover of Rickie Lee Jones’ original song.
