WELCOME TO OUR FIFTIETH EPISODE BESTIES. It has been a pleasure sharing stories and news with you (cannot WAIT for the next fifty).

In today’s chockas episode we chat about the controversy at the BAFTA awards (we’re angry with the BBC), and Manon Bannerman’s exist from KATSEYE. In the news we dive into the polls around One Nation’s success in victoria, the arts funding CRISIS, and the revealed plans to construct a new Trump tower on the Gold Coast (shocking!). Plus, we debrief after we both saw Lorde at her first night in Melbourne.
