Here it is! A special bonus ep with the superstar Flexmami to wrap up our Real Chats series for 2020. We had a go at two juicy questions from the card game Reflex, which honestly fits so well with our Real Chats series. Give the episode a spin and hear the three of us tackle:

Our favourite cancelled artists and why? It was honestly surprising to see so many parallels between the artists we spoke about.

Is happiness accessible to everyone? We touched on our personal experiences and perceptions of happiness which made it hard to determine if it's accessible or not.

**Hey everyone, excuse the little interference on this week's eps, we had a small tech glitch**

After a little break, we're back to see out the tail end of the year! Join us for this week's episode as we chat about: 

Stan is currently working on a doco-film on the Port Arthur shooting, and people aren't too happy about it. So we chat about if the film should go ahead + why true crime as a genre is so damn popular.

With Black Friday sales and now Christmas, we are spending all of the money right now. So we chat ethical gifts, overspending and how big companies make billions - yet still treat staff like shit.

Welcome to our very first episode after our first year anniversary. Our momentum is still strong and we're ready to walk through two juicy topics. On this week's ep, we spoke about: 

Everyone is debating about whether the Fed Gov 'bonk ban' is fair, so it got us thinking - is dating/sex/relationships at work worth it?

 Harry Styles also got people talking, wearing a dress on the cover of Vogue magazine. So we chat about fashion, masculinity and expressing yourself via the clothes you wear.

It's 1 year of episodes!!!!!! Make sure you listen carefully at the start to find out how you and a friend could win a Captain Monstera indoor plant on us! Also:

With debate booming on the National Anthem and if it should be changed, we deep dive into the lyrics to see if the words actually represent Australia.

JobSeeker is decreasing AGAIN. So with the rate lowering to as little as $50 per day, we chat about whether a Universal Basic Income is worth looking at.

What an whirlwind week we've all been through... Well, we want to drag it out a little longer by touching on the biggest stories of the past week. Join us as we chat about:

 The US Election (seemingly) is done and dusted, we of course had to review the crazy past week! We chat the result, and the moments that stood out for us during the whole saga.

 Johnny Depp is also in hot water after he was forced to step down from the Fantastic Beasts film franchise, after a damning ruling. So we talk about our private lives and professional lives; and if they can really stay separate.
