Just Change The Bloody Date

Long forgotten Goop-esque sex workshops and secret Reiki healer qualifications are just the start of this ep, which covers everything from the problem with viral Netflix documentary ‘Cheer’ to debriefing on Betty Dodson, the 90-year-old woman and new AWD mascot who’s taught over 9,000 women how to orgasm. On a more serious note, we speak about the devastating death of Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna and how the media has handled wrestling with the fact that Bryant was a basketball legend and inspiration to millions who was also accused of raping a woman. Plus, Australia Day. Why are we so stubborn about changing the date of Australia’s national holiday when it currently causes so much pain for the country’s indigenous people? We discuss how New Zealand does it better and what we can do to be allies for the cause.
