Mark Zuckerberg’s not playing. If you needed a reminder that Facebook isn’t a web browser - the social media giant’s world-first decision to ban stories from Australian news sites sent that message loud and clear. What happens on a fact-free Facebook? BW + BL discuss. 

BW reports back on the first two chapters of Reply All’s The Test Kitchen, the podcast’s series investigating the 2020 implosion of Bon Appetit (aka ‘Bone App’) over structural inequality, white privilege and racism. And literal diversity poster boy BL runs a ruler over the ABC’s new screen diversity requirements to see how they measure up.

Anyone who’s watched director Lee Isaac Chung’s Minari, a soulful elegy on family and rural America, will recognise Youn Yuh-Jung as the scene stealing grandma, Soonja. Ms Youn talks to BW about playing an unconventional grandma, her 50+ year acting career and more.
