Bang On ABC listen

Bonjour! It's a tres bien Bang On this week and we're all in on everything Olympics: Celine Dion, Lady Gaga, nuggie ban, and the farshun. Oh and the sport, that too.

Emily is in Paris again for S04, but she's also in Rome. We have the latest updates on Myf's fave soap opera and speaking of sports, Katy Perry has been announced as pre-game entertainment for the AFL Grand Final. Fingers crossed Left Shark makes the trip down, too.

Kamala is brat and we go in on the most joyful part of the US election race thus far. And Chappell Roan is stepping back following some parasocial relationship boundary crossing. How to be a pop star today? With great difficulty.

We're also banging on about reality series Trixie Motel and blockbuster remake Twisters. Think of us as a familiar silly salve, in this wild world.

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 we've got heaps to unpack. Tenacious D's tour cancellation, Katy Perry's confusing comeback single, and some hot rumours about sequels and surprise appearances.

We're going deep on BRATS too, the new doco on The Brat Pack, and we have thoughts. And speaking of coming of age memories, the sad death of Shannen Doherty has us reflecting on her roles in our lives.

Zan has a big debrief of London fun too, including a robot ABBA review, and Balenciaga are trolling us again with their latest collection.

Need something to binge? Myf is banging on about new Aussie series Fake, and Zan is raving about the Nathan Fielder, Benny Safdie, and Emma Stone series The Curse.

“I think it was a great feminist text”

Myf and Zan are on assignment this week, so they’re sharing a bonus bang from their recent live show in Geelong.

They unpacked Harry Styles fan fic rom-com The Idea of You starring Anne Hathaway and had plenty of thoughts on intergenerational relationships, hair continuity, bad art and boy bands.

If you've had more questions than answers this week, you're not alone. Who is the Hawk Tuah girl, and why has Lily Allen set up an OnlyFans? For her feet? Myf and Zan are here to help, making sense of the week that was.

Witchery have had a brand refresh and it's done the opposite of what was planned, and the Punters Club is back in Melbourne. Gen X and elder millenials, we'll see you at the pub.

And we're banging on about a new series on Karl Lagerfeld, and the first episode of S03 of The Bear.

Myf and Zan are back and boy howdy there's a lot to catch up on. Take 5 has been nominated for a Logie (!) and we're looking at you, Bang Fam, to nab the win.

Charli XCX has invited Lorde onto a remix of a song reportedly about her. What results is one of the most beautiful displays of radical vulnerability we've heard, and it gets us thinking about the pitting of pop stars against one another, and how the new guard of stars is rewriting the rules.

Justin Timberlake has had a "tough week", while in Paris we've just discovered Vogue World and we are all in on this circus madness. And we're cracking open the Bang Box to share some treats, and banging on about Colin From Accounts S02.

Queens reign supreme this week! Dolly Parton has announced a new Broadway musical based on her life, and we are already booking our flights to New York. Her empire continues to expand too, with a hotel, museum, and wine range. She never stops.

Kylie Minogue has reportedly signed with Netflix for a fly-on-the-wall doco on her life as well, and has been getting her yee-haw on again with Orville Peck, to boot. And if you're seeing a lot of talk about "Rodent Men" and need an explainer, we're here for you.

Millennial fashion is giving us whiplash in it's cyclical return, specifically the GG Gucci belt. Are the days of stealth wealth over? And we're banging on about a couple of brilliant podcasts, and another bang on piece from Annabel Crabb about men and the meritocracy.
