While You Were Sleeping: Lucky Dip

It's the end of a long year (two years?) and the girls decide to riff, like a good old music jam. They throw a bunch of thought bubbles into the pot, from tapioca plastics to Kobe Bryant. Michelle opens up about the death of her dear friend and a letter he left her. They wind up the poddy season with a few cranking feel-good tracks. New season, February 2022. Until then, stay safe and thank you.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

While You Were Sleeping: Power Hungry

The girls jump into the environmental cost of our digital lives, and it's not just our phones and electronics. This is mining on a massive scale: Bitcoin, AI, tapping our payments - they all need huge amounts of power. The stats are kinda eye-opening. Their tracks this week are open-hearted and have a similar vibe.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

While You Were Sleeping: Green Fatigue

Kumi rocks up with her decaf in a disposable cup which kickstarts a chat about whether small changes actually make a difference. The girls dig into green fatigue and the bigger picture: global emissions fell during the pandemic - except for one big behemoth of a company. Their emissions rose 19 percent (hint, online shopping). Oh, the tracks this week are sweeeeet.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

While You Were Sleeping: Your Health According To

A lot has been bubbling away when it comes to vaccines. There are protests around mandates, concerns about vaccine equity, and China is taking its own approach to the pandemic. The girls ask whether all this noise is really about jabs - or is there something else going on? Their music picks could not be more different this week which is a good thing - cos variety, spice of life stuff, you know...See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

While You Were Sleeping: Over Dosed

ICYMI, there's been a pandemic going on and it’s had a big impact on health, especially addiction. It’s prompted a rise in opioid abuse which hasn’t been helped by the new bad boy in town, Fentanyl. And as usual the girls have two great tracks to add to your playlist. email - [email protected]  Spotify Playlist - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5EoLkhsc40CpCqdD8qZ5kW?si=718855febc2f435cSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

While You Were Sleeping: Computer Says What?

It's the Android versus iPhone chat everyone's been waiting for as the girls get stuck into a tech-filled half hour. It's the Metaverse though, that really has them both wondering what the hell is going on and what we need to do prepare. And while it all seems a bit futuristic  it wasn’t that long ago we were asking what the internet was. Both music tracks are oldies but goodies this week. Definitely worth their place in the Spotify playlist email - [email protected]  Spotify Playlist - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5EoLkhsc40CpCqdD8qZ5kW?si=718855febc2f435cSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

While You Were Sleeping: Incels

Michelle leaps straight into a bit of Fifty Shades of Grey chat, for no reason whatsoever. After Kumi pulls herself together, they delve into the growing world of Incels, 'involuntary celibates'. But, this is not about sex. It's about misogyny and male power and it's been going on, and thriving, while our focus has been elsewhere. Michelle plays a rocking Aussie track, while Kumi opts for a sweet 70's vibe. Oh, the new artwork is coming. Promise. email - [email protected]  Spotify Playlist - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5EoLkhsc40CpCqdD8qZ5kW?si=718855febc2f435cSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

While You Were Sleeping: Supply Chains

Remember the ship that was stuck in the Suez Canal? Yes, it was great fodder for memes but it highlighted how much rests on the supply chain operating smoothly. In the first episode of this new series, Michelle and Kumi look at why getting products from A to B has become so much harder for some, and so much easier for others. Plus, they dig out a few great tracks. And still need your validation.
