Welcome back, pals! 

The Olympics are over for another four years so we leave them with a wholesome chat about Tom Daley and Jasmine’s new hobby. 

Actor Matt Damon stated in an interview with the Sunday Times that he’s recently retired the f-slur after receiving a long letter from his teenage daughter. 

Between the Prime Minister empathising with Brittany Higgins only after speaking with his wife about their daughters and this Hollywood A-lister LOUDLY airing his homophobia, we discuss the ‘daughter effect’ that seems to be plaguing men in positions of power. 

We recite research from this article and read from a piece for MSNBC by Liz Plank titled Matt Damon and the Twisted Cultrual Norm of the ‘Daughter Effect’. 

Literal legend Rihanna, (queen of pop music, lingerie and beauty) has officially entered the Billionaire’s Club. We debate our feelings around this and reference some pieces including Tayo Bero’s piece for Refinery29 titled Rihanna is the Only Billionaire Allowed to Exist and Akin Olla’s piece for the Guardian Sorry, Rihanna. I Can’t Celebrate Billionaires - Even if They are Black. 

For our recommendations, Maggie read this truly unhinged celebrity chef profile by Tim Elliott for The Age while Jas recommends She Is Haunted. A moving debut book of short stories by Australian Chinese writer, Paige Clark.

Katie Zhou created our fab new cover art and India Raine is our wonderful producer and composer of our jingle. Email us at [email protected], find us on Instagram @cultureclubpod, or on our personal accounts @jasmineeskye and @yemagz. 

That’s all from us! Stay safe and stay sane.

Mags and Jas xoxo
