With Benjamin Law away, Hannah Reich steps in to put her body on the line for Stop Everything! Together BW and HR lay on the virtual railroad tracks of pop culture and sample Chris Lilley’s new podcast, Ja’miezing, delivered in the character of former Private School Girl Ja’mie King. Is it quiche? Listen to find out.

Stop Everything Jewish correspondent Hannah Reich also helps BW understand Shtisel, the hit Israeli drama about a Haredi Jewish family.

And RN Top 5 resident Dr Crystal Abidin talks to us about her specialty research field: digital influencer culture. Crystal chats to BW about her research passion, how deeply she embeds when she’s out in the field and takes us behind the scenes of the Asia Pacific influencer industry with an interview with Philippines-based influencer manager, Kristen Lagrimas.
