Bang On #262: Kylie and Timothée, Burning Man, Bird Sniffer
Wow, what a week. We really do cover it all on Bang On and partake in a healthy amount of googling, too. Yep, Myf and Zan are back to make sense of the week that was; music, art, life, and birds.
Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet’s rumoured dating has been publicly confirmed in the VIP tower at Beyonce’s LA show. Smooching and smoking was just the pressie she wanted. Meanwhile down the road in Nevada people have been stranded at Burning Man after an unseasonable downpour. Are we allowed to enjoy it?
The Yes campaign has been gifted its soundtrack courtesy of John Farnham, and a beautiful piece of writing from a prisoner about Taylor Swift, has floored us.
And there’s a lot of animal chat this week. A lot. Bird sniffers, allegedly thieving koalas, the peregrine falcons are back. We are giddy with excitement.
It’s a huge ep, enough to tide you over while Zan visits her Convenience Store Woman, and catches up on Myf’s plane watch recommend of the Bee Gee’s doco.
