The Weekly Cheek episodes

  • 16. How can we celebrate women while burying hopes of progression?

    In this early release episode, we talk about International Women's Day, and what it means this year. In 2021, IWD has been coloured by the allegations of sexual assault coming from Canberra and resulting conversations. We don't know what's next. We're at a loss. But we know the only thing to do is stay engaged and enraged.

  • 13. Is Bump the next Aussie cult classic?

    In this episode, we talk about Stan's original series Bump. Bump is authentically Australian, and focusses on high-achieving Oly, a 16 year old who has a suprise baby and chronicles her growing relationship with said baby. We absolutely loved the show, and could talk about it for another 50 minutes if anyone would want to listen.
