August 16 56. Ditching the club for Yo-Chi | Third places & the surprising history of yoghurt
Thank you for watching! I love when videos start out as silly ideas & ended up in the depths of Bulgarian history. So curious to know your thoughts about the rise of froyo - if it weren't yoghurt, do you think it would be as community centric? Let me know in the comments :)

July 12 52. Running is quiet activism, actually | Deinfluencing you from RunTok
Allow me to try & deinfluence you from believing everything you see on RunTok, and instead learn about the women trailblazers who were only allowed to officially start running in marathons in 1972 (!! you read that right...)

I've started training for a half marathon and my TikTok feed has sent me into the depths of hell (runner's waist, runner's face & SkinnyTok)... so let's talk about it.

We're deep diving the most insane running event I've ever heard of (Barkley 100), running as an everyday act of feminism, and whether we can ever separate ourselves completely from the pressures of diet culture.

Let's dive in!

July 06 51. The paradox of being a teen in 2026 | Social media ban, teen media & criminal responsibility
The paradox of being a teen in 2026. In this episode we deep dive teen culture, specifically: where do all the teens go when there's no teen media, but social media is banned? How do policy-makers treat teenagers? Are teenagers really 'growing up too fast'? Finally, we finish with a commentary on systemic racism embedded within Australian government structures, and how this influences the way we perceived teen crime.

Let's dive in!
