Bang On #141: Emmys 2020, Rolling Stone 500, RBG Tributes
The Emmy Awards happened on Zoom and we watched the highlights, how very 2020. We wrap the winners, the ground breakers, and the list of awards that – if anything – remind us of shows we might have missed. Not sure about Schitt's Creek yet? Myf explains why they took home the most gongs. Speaking of which, Rolling Stone have just updated their lengthy list of the 500 Best Albums of All Time. We have thoughts. An article on the wins of women’s midlife and misunderstanding of menopause has us questioning the narrative we’ve been told till now. If you’re hankering for Succession season 3, Zan has just the TV series for you, and we share a moving tribute to RBG - Ruth Bader Ginsburg - who passed away this week.
