Has Gaza Changed Our Trust In Media?
There have been widespread and prominent failures of western media in its coverage of the October 7 attacks and the unfolding genocide in Gaza. From the meek reportage of the killing of journalists in Gaza, the circulation of unchecked war propaganda to punishing and muzzling of journalists who raise concerns about unfair reporting.
Truth is often seen as a casualty of war, but has audience trust also been obliterated? Can it ever be regained?
For months, millions have watched the annihilation of Palestinian civilians live streamed on their phones, as legacy media outlets face internal battles on how to cover incessant tge violence, political inaction against the backdrop intense pressure from lobbyists.
The Antoinettes examine the failures of 'objectivity' and if it should be replaced with 'moral clarity'. And one Antoinette questions if she needs to 'break up' with the media once and for all.

What Does It Take To Be Happy?
If you’re struggling to find happiness given the state of the world or even the state of the economy -- you’re not alone. So what can you do to elevate your mood? How much control do we really have over emotions?
Azure thinks the person who said money can’t buy happiness, simply doesn’t have enough of it.
While Antoinette has read a bunch of research papers on the science of happiness, because she finds briefs and data soothing in times of sadness and chaos.
We also hear from our listeners -- who share the little and big things they do to find happiness.

Hey Dr, Can You Stop Gaslighting Me Please?
The default patient in medical research has typically been a white, heterosexual man from Pennsylvania. Let’s call him Andrew. So where does that leave everyone else in medicine?
There’s increasing evidence of the way women’s symptoms and conditions are downplayed or ignored in healthcare. But move over medical misogyny - medical gaslighting is here not only to borrow therapy speak, but to broaden the even more overlooked populations in healthcare. This includes POC, the poor, people with disability, LGBTQI+ and the elderly.
This episode will explore what is needed to address medical gaslighting -- systemically -- but also what individuals can do.
The Antoinettes also share their recent experiences of gaslighting, although one Antoinette has been so effectively gaslit, she struggles to remember it happening to her!

A Prank. 3 Feminists. Outrage. The Politics of Apologies
What was meant to be a funny hosting gig, spiralled when one of The Antoinettes joined two renowned feminists and television pranksters The Inspired Unemployed. Let's talk about it.
Before the Daily Mail uses the over the top cliche, we want to get there first - Antoinette Lattouf has 'broken her silence' over the prank that didn't go as planned. (insert dramatic music!)
WTF happened? Was it really a shock that some audience members weren't happy? And what do you do when intention doesn't align with impact? This episode unpacks it all. One Antoinette is open and reflective, the other is still in hysterics. The Antoinettes explore public apologies, a woman's margin for error and if comedy and prank shows only have space for blokey men.

BONUS EPISODE: The Poem From The Rally That Rocked The Nation
Commissioned poet and the more teary half of The Antoinettes - Azure - studio recorded the poem she wrote and performed at the No More Violence Against Women rallies in Melbourne and Sydney.
It's a rallying cry for boys to be raised to respect women. It's a plea for the killing of women from shopping centres to refugee camps to stop,
Azure also shares her experiences as a three time sexual assault survivor, and how violence even kills those who are still alive. It is heartfelt. It is passionate. It is urgent (even if it doesn't rhyme).
Listen to March On: What Do Protests Achieve?
If you or someone you know is experiencing violence or abuse, you can call 1800RESPECT on 1800 737 732 or text 0458 737 732.
