It's a bit of a kinky episode this week with our deep dive into the world of Shibari rope bondage. It's an old Japanese art form that's been steadily gaining in popularity with people from all age groups, and even sometimes extends into the bedroom. So what exactly is Shibari all about? What's the draw of it? How can we normalise it and how do you do it while staying safe? Shane from Shibari Adelaide, who teaches the practice, walks us through how it all works and how to get involved. Rachel (aka Lumia Lemae), a Shibari model here in Adelaide, also spoke to us about her journey into this art form and what makes it enjoyable.

Also this week, body image is a big issue for men, particularly with the stream of superhero movies showing (let's be honest) a generally unattainable muscular physique. It can be a big source of anxiety and self-doubt for many. We spoke with Kelvin and Dan, two male strippers, about the issue and their recommendations for self-improvement.

Meanwhile we have all the bases covered with the latest on the COVID-19 pandemic, politics and some Heaps Good News. Tune in!
