Kanye, Stem Players & Should We Pay Musicians More??
Yeezy is back in the news (not sure he ever left tbh), this time because he is only releasing his next album to people who buy his pricey stem music player. Is it fair game? And do musicians deserve more money for their art?? Also Uber has released public ratings, so you can see just how many 1-star ratings you’ve drummed up. So naturally this made us think about all the wild rideshare experiences we’ve had - in particular one huge night that Scotty had.

Is Joe Rogan Too Popular To Ever Actually Get Cancelled?
It’s a jam packed show today, with two big conversations. Joe Rogan’s latest controversy is hard to argue against; after a video showed him constantly using the ‘N’ word on his podcast over the past 12 years. But is he actually too popular to ever face real consequences? The Citipointe Christian College in Brisbane tried to sneakily introduce a new enrollment contract that discriminated against queer and trans students. We chat about religious and sexual impact in education and society, as politicians get set to vote on a hugely important religious discrimination bill this week. Show Notes Joe Rogan: https://ab.co/3shylhm Religious discrimination: https://bit.ly/3utScfH All Our Links: https://linktr.ee/trendsandtings See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

2021 Rewind: Playing ReFlex With FlexMami
It's week two of our Rewind series (we're back next week dw!), looking back at some of our favourite eps over the past few months. We dip in just before 2021 here, as we played a game of ReFlex with FlexMami in December last year! Her card game for intellectual thinkers is a cracker, and on today's Rewind we chatted about: Our favourite cancelled artists and why? It was honestly surprising to see so many parallels between the artists we spoke about. Is happiness accessible to everyone? We touched on our personal experiences and perceptions of happiness which made it hard to determine if it's accessible or not.

2021 Rewind: Zoë Condliffe Chats Gender-Based Violence In Australia
We're on a bit of a break while Scotty goes and ties the knot, so we're rewinding to some of our favourite shows from 2021. To kick things off, we throwback to our Real Chats episode with Zoë Condliffe from She's A Crowd, to talk about gender-based violence and how real-world data is used to influence decision-makers and people of power. This chat naturally stemmed into a few topic areas, including: How empowering individuals to share their story creates a community and offers data that influences meaningful change. Progress is being made to close the gender gap however recent events (we're looking at you Canberra) shows us that there is still a lot to get done. There isn't one solution to address gender-based violence, meaning we all can contribute to reducing violence in our own ways.

As Australia makes (slow) progress towards the magic 70% fully vaccinated, what's next for us? We look at how other countries have opened up, how they've handled Delta, and if they've been successful in curbing daily cases. Vapes are set to be banned on October 1st!!! We look at some worrying data about people starting to vape at seriously young ages + whether it's a knee jerk reaction, or if there is a more sinister government reason for the ban.

Real Chats: Using Data To Combat Gender-based Violence (w/Zoë Condliffe)
Here we are, the very first Real Chats episode for 2021 and boy, this episode couldn't be more apt even if we tried. Zoë Condliffe from She's A Crowd joins us to talk about gender-based violence and how real-world data is used to influence decision-makers and people of power. This chat naturally stemmed into a few topic areas, including: - How empowering individuals to share their story creates a community and offers data that influence meaningful change.- Progress is being made to close the gender gap however recent events (we're looking at you Canberra) shows us that there is still a lot to get done.- There isn't one solution to address gender-based violence, meaning we all can contribute to reducing violence in our own ways.
