Bang On #223: Olivia Newton-John, Malcolm Gladwell, Nudists
Myf and Zan are here to make sense of the week that was in all its lows and highs.
We’ve lost some icons of late, and we pay tribute and show thanks. Meanwhile Malcolm Gladwell reckons we need to get back to the office which is frankly a BIT RICH coming from him, Mr Laptop on the Couch.
Naturism, or getting in the nuddy, is making a comeback in these pandemic times and we investigate why. And Frank Ocean hasn’t shared any music but has released a $25k cock ring via his fashion label. And we’re banging on about some music watches; a three part doco on Woodstock ’99 and the phenomenal new David Bowie film Moonage Daydream.
