First Things First

Brooke and Matty are taking on different personas today when they take on each other in some drama inspired improv games! 

Think peak drama class when you're in high school. 

Matty turns into a Karen at a restaurant and a very rude man wanting a flight upgrade, plus we play the question game and one word scenes.

We've decided Brooke is too trusting and is 1000% susceptible to being roped into a cult! 

But that's not how this chat started... Have you seen the documentary on 7M The Tik Tok dancing cult? We're obsessed and so we're diving into the world of cults and some of the strangest - including one right here in Aus! 

Plus, we can't help but notice a little similarity between The Stolen Generations and cults.

The time has come! One of us is starting a journey to have a baby! 

It's an exciting time, so we're chatting all about it and what the process will look like. 
As well as what types of baby names we like and what names we definitely wouldn't be using for our kids.

It's NAIDOC week this week and the theme for 2024 is "Keep The Fire Burning".

It's been a tough last 12 months for First Nations people, especially after the referendum result. But that doesn't mean the work stops, there's still investment into our culture and we're continuing to share the beauty of our community. 

NAIDOC isn't just for First Nations people, it's a chance for everyone to get involved and share the beauty in community and country.

Loren Ryan is one of our favourite voices in Aussie Country Music and she's shifting her sound up a little! 

She shares her biggest inspirations for her music, including her home of Gomeroi Country (Tamworth), and her 6 year old daughter. 

But she also shares the racism that she's faced within the Aussie country music industry and how she's handled that... Quote: "I've had public humiliation and private apologies and they don't match"
