Bang On #142: Helen Reddy, Lizzo, Michaela & Donald
The death of a feminist icon has us reflecting on the power of song, and the impact her anthem had on the highest office in the land. Lizzo has made history on the cover of Vogue, and there’s a lot of feedback. We're also in awe of an incredible conversation between Michaela Coel and Donald Glover. In between we talk about puppet haute couture and a famous wood nymph celebrates her birthday in an eye opening way. Plus, Zan is banging on about a new bio on Kendrick Lamar and Myf's been reading Such A Fun Age by Kiley Reid.
