Bang On Double J

Myf and Zan are here to make sense of the week that was in all its lows and highs.

We’ve lost some icons of late, and we pay tribute and show thanks. Meanwhile Malcolm Gladwell reckons we need to get back to the office which is frankly a BIT RICH coming from him, Mr Laptop on the Couch.

Naturism, or getting in the nuddy, is making a comeback in these pandemic times and we investigate why. And Frank Ocean hasn’t shared any music but has released a $25k cock ring via his fashion label. And we’re banging on about some music watches; a three part doco on Woodstock ’99 and the phenomenal new David Bowie film Moonage Daydream.

Bang On is an ABC podcast, produced by Double J. It is recorded on the lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation. We pay our respects to elders past and present. We acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Australians and Traditional Custodians of the land where we live, work, and learn.

Myf and Zan are back and absolutely champing at the bit to bang on this week.

Which is a perfect horse reference for Beyoncé’s Renaissance album (see: cover art). We go in deep on all facets of this instant club classic, and some of the backlash it’s received. We also dip into a larger discussion around releasing, then changing an album. Is an album, as a “finished” piece of art, much more malleable in the digital age?

The finale of Neighbours had us in absolute tears, and we debrief on all our favourite moments and just why Kylie and Jason had so few lines. And a fascinating piece on the “ick” and how it can end a relationship has us in stitches. Meanwhile it’s a big foodie bang on, with Myf watching Aftertaste and Zan reading Jess Ho’s memoir Raised By Wolves.

This is one of those weeks where Bang On truly has it all.

Myf and Zan start with a 600kg sun-loving walrus, and end with vagina perfume.

In between, we wrap the week that was, including the solving of the mysterious Somerton Man (Zan wants to rewind to when he was a mystery). A teaser for the new Black Panther movie has us in a tizz, particularly cos one of our faves is in it. And a reflection on the massive pile on to Anne Hathaway in the noughties is reframed through a new generation’s viewpoint.

Myf is loving fellow mad dawg Miriam Margolyes new show, and Zan is an absolute wreck after seeing Joni Mitchell return to the live stage

Zan and Myf are back and have lots to catch you up on! It’s a time of celebration too, with J Lo and Ben Affleck hitting Vegas for a quickie wedding (20 years in the making).

Meanwhile on the streets of Melbourne an act of “kindness” has gone viral for two very different reasons, and we’re digging into our reactions to performative charity and who it targets. And a piece on the “end of ambition” has us thinking about the cumulative effect of everything that’s hit us over the past two years, and how it’s shifted us, across generations, forever. 

In fun news, we’re here for the reclaiming of “hot” (Paris, you were ahead of your time), and banging on about a great podcast and a cracking read.

It’s been a whirlwind coupla weeks and Myf and Zan have heaps to catch up on. TV adventures as the ABC celebrates 90, book deadlines, and what it’s like to be in a trigger ban state when Roe V Wade is overturned. In more joyful news, Rihanna has become the youngest female billionaire, and Only Murders in the Building is back (with a helluva guest cast).

The internet is frothing at images emerging from the Barbie movie shoot, and we catch you up on everything you need to know. It feels like the '80s is having a real resurgence at the mo, with the new Thor film leaning sonically and visually toward that decade too. And fashion is feeling it; google trends show that the rise of legwarmers is upon us. Thank you, Stranger Things.

Bang On Live is on the cards, we let you know where you can find us in late October! And we’re banging on about the history of Indigenous storytelling on the ABC, the best kind of breakfast TV on SBS, and a coupla musical queens on Netflix

It’s the return of Queen B, and we are bouncin’ to her new single and how perfectly it captures the moment.

Like all things Beyoncé, there are layers and layers, and we dig in.

Myf has been hitting the red carpet for the Logies, so we catch up on all the goss from TV’s night of nights.

An opinion piece on the popularity of “messy millennial women” on TV has caught our eye; is it becoming a trope? And we’re banging on about one of those series (lol), as well as the great music city of Nashville.
