This week’s topics: Happy Trans Day of Visibility!! We sit down with the incredible Anastasia Le, a Vietnamese Australian social justice trailblazer and Victorian Women’s Honour Roll inductee. We chat about her work with the Victorian Pride Centre and supporting inclusion for LGBTQIA+, migrant, and disability communities before she heads off to a massive day of speaking engagements. Also this week, we name our Crush of the Week and admit we are officially addicted to Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. We break down the drama that went down with Taylor. Things get mystical with a “Battle of the Fates” Tarot reading and Shamanic insights. We explore the future of 3D printing and programming your own personal AI pets using ChatGPT. Tech meets nature as we look at using Tamagotchis for high-tech plant care. We discuss the UK version of SNL and manifest a third season of Lisa Kudrow’s The Comeback. Kylie Minogue is officially announced as the AFL Grand Final headliner. Taylor Swift dominates the 2026 iHeartRadio Music Awards with seven massive wins. We wrap up with the news that Victorian public transport is free through April to help with climbing fuel prices.
