Bang On ABC listen

It's been a large week, and Myf and Zan are here to take you into a happy place, and make sense of the sillier side of the internet. Much to celebrate too, as Double J turns 10 and a house party is planned. We're setting the homework for our Brissie Bang On Live too, so make sure you're up to speed.

The defamation trial brought by Bruce Lehrmann has ended, and we reflect on the outcome, the process, what's left behind.

Coachella's first weekend has brought plenty to the social media feed, and we dive into all the random surprises in the desert. And a new podcast series from Courtney Love has been getting attention for all the wrong (and predictable) reasons.

As the reviews roll in for Back to Black, Laura Snapes has a particular gripe about the Amy Winehouse narrative that Zan is behind 100%. And get ready for even more music biopics, as we left you know what's in production (including some breaking news).

The Willy Wonka experience continues to give us life; it's now on tour to Los Angeles and Zack Galifianakis is on board to boot! And it's Olympic FARSHUN week with Australia's official kit revealed. What message does it send the world?

Big week! We're also banging on about Netflix movie "Scoop" and excellent podcast series "The Gatekeepers".

Myf and Zan are smack bang in the middle of their national tour, so this week we’re throwing back to where it all kicked off in Adelaide.

Their special guest was self-proclaimed Bang Fam hype man Tom Gleeson who talked about why he reckons Adelaide's having a big joke behind Australia’s back.

Get ready to learn all about bin night, find out what a ‘man-bang’ is and hear Tom bang on about Feud: Capote vs. The Swans.

Myf and Zan are back with the week in music, art, life, and stuff and we've got it all this week! The new Amy Winehouse biopic comes out today, and Zan has had a sneak preview. So, what's the verdict?

It's a big week for art, as we catch up on the MONA Museum court ruling for their Ladies Lounge. Over in Munich, another artist is trying his hand at disruption, and we love this fella's energy in hanging his own piece next to the greats.

Sex and the City has landed on Netflix and so have the hot takes on whether Gen Z can handle it. We've sifted through them all to find our favourite. And speaking of FARSHUN, Zendaya is owning the red carpet (on grass, clay, and hardcourt) for her new film Challengers.

And we're banging on about some good reads from The School of Life, and Annabel Crabb's brilliant editorial on the appointment of Sam Mosytn as Governor General.

The Bang On live tour continues! And recently in Perth, Myf and Zan recapped the blockbuster rom com ‘Anyone But You’.

They’ve got thoughts: on plot holes, nudity, unexpected c-words, controversial bra strap placement and much more…

It's been a big week for music, and we're all in with Beyoncé's "Cowboy Carter". Myf and Zan celebrate the highlights, unpack the songs that don't quite hit the mark, and share some easter eggs from the album too.

Lizzo quit, then didn't, and we're confused. Meanwhile Billie Eilish is getting some backlash after calling out special edition vinyl, but y'know what? She'll be the one inheriting the earth that Rolling Stones fans have filled with plastic.

A longread on The Cut has the world talking and the comments section aflame. We try and make sense of the writer praising marrying old (up) and its warped feminist bent. And we're banging on about new Netflix series "3 Body Problem" and comedy festival season!

In Perth they caught up with comedian and Perthonality Janelle Koenig who shared a Nigella Lawson story for the ages.
