We thought last week was a hectic time for the coronavirus outbreak.. yeah we were wrong. BUT, we've jumped on a Zoom (we're both isolating) to bring you a pod amidst all these crazy times

This week, we chat all things social distancing and the huge impact on individuals and businesses when people don't do it.

We look at Gal Gadot's "Imagine" video and look past it's cringy nature to find a little good in it.

Finally, you've got cabin fever we've got cabin fever so let's chat about ways we can keep our sanity.

We've got what the doctor orders, a good dose of quality content!

This week we explore COVID-19, the illness that a real threat to us all. We delve into Billie Eilish's powerful callout of all the body shamers and the Hottest 100 of the decade just rolled past but we did not expect just a mix-match of tunes.

Rejoice! Scotty has returned after his unexpected sabbatical.

This week we take a close look at the media landscape. The Australian Associated Press (AAP) announced they'll close this June after serving as a key player of Australian journalism for 85 years. This begs the question, will we see more of this happening as people opt for lighter, trashier content? 

The Project delivered a rare trainwreck interview with The Pussycat Dolls Nicole Scherzinger. Surely someone on the team could of done their homework to avoid a cringeworthy interview segment. 

And over the weekend, International Women's Day was celebrated around the world so we wanted to share our thoughts on the powerful women close to our hearts.

Amila returns for back-to-back weeks, joining Gordon again (Scott's back next week dw friends) to chat Mardi Gras weekend!

We do indeed look at the weekend that was, and whether Mardi Gras has become too commercial. With over-sold events, and so many corporate brands - is it a fair representation of the LGBTQI community?

Aussie muso Dan Sultan was recently charged with indecent assault, and we're crestfallen. So we talk about the challenges faced when someone who you thought was amazing, isn't as great as you imagined.

And honestly, this coronavirus stuff is getting exhausting. But with supermarkets getting cleared out - we chat the inevitable zombie apocalypse and what essentials you just absolutely need in your doomsday kit.

The lovely Amila returns to the mic today! Scott is away, but she joins Gordon to delve into a few meaty topics.

We look at the sad, yet inspiring situation with indigenous 9-year-old Quaden Bayles. His GoFundMe is sitting at nearly $800,000 - but should the funds be spread out across multiple bullying victims and charities?

Old m8 (m8 is generous tbh) Harvey Weinstein was finally convicted in court, in a big win for the #MeToo movement. So with a sentencing incoming, we're wondering how much power do collective voices have these days?

And finally, Splendour's BIG 20th Anniversary lineup was released last week, but just how 'big' was it? We chat the lineup, nostalgia acts, the lack of female headliners + whether it's worth going.
