The Antoinettes

'Trigger warning - this episode contains references to violence, colonialism, racism and trauma which some individuals may find distressing.’ 

For more than 160 days, we’ve watched human rights atrocities in Gaza live streamed on our phones. Can we unsee what we’re witnessing? In addition to grappling with vicarious trauma from an endless stream of images of death, injury and starving of Palestinian children and other civilians -- there’s growing anger at western leaders for not doing more to stop the carnage.

There’s a significant shift in public opinion not only about the senselessness and brutality of the IDF’s ongoing actions, but also the role western leaders and sections of the media have played in allowing it to flourish. The latest conflict has also called into question the strength and purpose of international law, which has been all but ignored.  

How do we ever recover from this? Or is it important that we don't? 

The Antoinettes have many thoughts, a heap of feelings, as they struggle with a way forward.

Despite the attempted insurrection, being impeached (twice), loads of current lawsuits against him, Donald Trump is the Republican candidate and could be President again.  Should anyone be surprised? Is he the leader the U.S needs? And do we need to accept that Trump is simply an authentic reflection of modern America? 

In this episode of The Antoinettes, one Antoinette argues that political mayhem is the only way forward, while the American Antoinette has a very different, very personal take.

One of the Antoinettes opens up about her mental health struggles as she faces a very public legal battle. The answer? She’s diving head first into every possible health and wellness fad in an attempt to feel better. The other Antoinette thinks the wellness industry is pseudoscience nonsense that should be ignored. But is it impossible to ignore or write off an industry worth $5.6 trillion (which is greater than Germany’s GDP!).

The Antoinettes also hear from their listeners who share their wackiest wellness experiences.

International Women’s Day has been sanitised and corporatised beyond recognition. Is it time to put the prosecco down and return IWD to its revolutionary roots? Some believe it’s important to celebrate how far women have come, while others argue there’s little worth applauding given the glacial changes and a fixation on middle class women’s woes.  

In this episode, The Antoinettes hash out whether the time has come to axe IWD altogether.

Taylor Swift is on Australian shores and fans are losing their minds over the 11 time Grammy Award winning star. While her admirers are loud and proud, those who don’t understand or buy into the hysteria are often too scared to say that in public. It ranges from a fear of being called a bad feminist, and for others, a fear of being beaten to death with a Taylor Swift friendship bracelet.

In this episode The Antoinettes discuss the mega Swift brand, whether being a ‘light touch’ feminism progressive is enough, and exclusively reveal a new, and probably real conspiracy theory about Taylor Swift and skincare.

From Woody Allen to R. Kelly, JK Rowling to Chris Brown -- a creator’s behaviour can stain the books, songs, films and artworks we once loved. What do we do if we abhor their crimes and transgressions but adore their art? How do fans navigate this without an online moral calculator to assess the atrociousness of the crime versus the greatness of the art? The Antoinettes are here to help!
