Zan invites Jan Fran back into the Bang Fam this week, while Myf is on hols. The victory of the US Women’s Team in the World Cup has everyone talking, particularly about the pay gap. Jeffrey Epstein is having his day of reckoning, sparking a discussion around complicity, connection, and whether the structures that protect abusers are shifting in the wake of #MeToo. And a brilliant long read in Vanity Fair about linen loving Byron Bay babes has us digging into the social media sell once again.Show notes:Women’s World Cup: https://www.cnbc.com/2019/07/04/womens-world-cup-final-how-much-money-is-on-the-line.htmlJeffrey Epstein: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-07-09/jeffrey-epstein-charged-sex-trafficking-conspiracy-teenage-girls/11290606The Coast of Utopia: https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2019/07/the-coast-of-utopia-surfer-moms-instagram-influencersIslands: https://www.allenandunwin.com/browse/books/fiction/Islands-Peggy-Frew-9781760528744ContraPoints: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNvsIonJdJ5E4EXMa65VYpAJan Fran: https://www.facebook.com/janfran/Email us: bangon.podcast@abc.net.au

Myf’s away so Clare Bowditch is coming to play as a special guest Banger! It’s been a juicy week too, with the Gold Logie going to Gleeson. Should we / do we care about the Logies? Taylor Swift’s public fight for her master recordings gets an explanation from Clare, as we ponder the power of the artist. And Celine Dion is in Paris for Couture Fashion Week. Enough said. Meanwhile we’re banging out about a brilliant new music doco, and going Dry in July.Email us:bangon.podcast@abc.net.au

The internet has gifted Myf and Zan this week, with shortcuts to cooking glory and cat filters for days. Pride Month in America is sparking lots of conversations about queer subcultures becoming the mainstream, and we’re digging into all the hot takes. And over in the UK big organisations are taking affirmative action on gender equality. Beryl pops by too. God love her.Show notes:Pakistani politician’s cat filter: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-06-18/cat-filter-left-on-during-pakistani-politician-press-conference/11219250Garlic peeling video: https://twitter.com/VPestilenZ/status/1140437217619390465?s=19What’s lost when a subculture goes pop: https://www.vulture.com/2019/06/drag-race-inc-whats-lost-when-a-subculture-goes-pop.htmlHow to write a gay pop anthem: https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/music/a28038812/why-some-gay-songs-anthems-bad/The queasy double message of Taylor Swift’s message: https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2019/06/taylor-swift-you-need-calm-down-hijacks-queerness/591829/ITV bans all-male comedy teams: https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-48668652?fbclid=IwAR0KWHeQuNpaXqu8b9uJBejtklYsNgAhZ5HkS-XyuVlEiiaIr__DKSaWCJQGender stereotypes banned in UK advertising: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/14/style/uk-gender-stereotype-ads-ban.htmlJohn Grant’s Love is Magic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qtTidRF2V0The Book of Bitch: https://www.allenandunwin.com/browse/books/other-books/The-Book-of-Bitch-Ailie-Banks-9781760529659Email us: bangon.podcast@abc.net.au

Myf and Zan are capturing the week that was including birthday parties and OH BOY Kylie Jenner came up with a clanger of a theme for one of hers. An opinion piece on society’s view of singledom resonates deeply with us, while we’re planning our Golden Girls retirement and – for Myf at least – it’ll be on a boat. And the return of an HBO series has Zan absolutely razzed for the sport of watching Streep actor the shit out of it.Show notes:Kylie Jenner’s Handmaid's Tale Party: https://www.sbs.com.au/topics/life/culture/article/2019/06/11/internet-upset-kylie-jenners-highly-questionable-handmaids-tale-party?fbclid=IwAR3NtGe3JT7cpT5cBhrflf05bc0y4_fc6oCtIpvQULglpogql6rbaawhyLYAdmitting You’re Happy and Alone Can Feel Like an Act of Defiance: https://www.smh.com.au/lifestyle/life-and-relationships/admitting-you-re-happy-and-alone-can-feel-like-an-act-of-defiance-20190606-p51v5e.htmlGrow Old Like the Golden Girls: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/07/opinion/retirement-aging-golden-girls.htmlBig Little Lies: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCWevZV945MThe Day The Music Burned: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/11/magazine/universal-fire-master-recordings.htmlEmail us: bangon.podcast@abc.net.au

Myf and Zan are spinning you right round baby, right round. Oh boy. Thank you internet. A helicopter rescue has us in tears, meanwhile it’s raining money in Jay-Z and Rihanna’s world but music isn’t necessarily the maker. A strange collab between Ancestry and commerce seems very on the nose, but Myf is consoling herself with Digestives, so we’re all good.Show notes:Helicopter Woman: https://junkee.com/helicopter-woman/208658Jay-Z billionaire: https://www.bbc.com/news/business-48503616Rihanna: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2019/jun/05/rihanna-named-worlds-richest-female-musicianDNAdvertising: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/jun/04/dna-based-holidays-encourage-a-dangerous-flirtation-with-raceBang On Live: https://www.abc.net.au/doublej/music-reads/music-news/bang-on-live-brisbane-ladies-we-need-to-talk-myf-zan-yumi-styne/11157904Email us: bangon.podcast@abc.net.au

Myf is dialling in from Rome, in the days following Eurovision, cos she can. A new Moby biography detailing the women he “tried to date” has the internet abuzz and we have thoughts. Oh we have thoughts. Cardi B is proving why her social media rants are always ripe for remixing, and Celine Dion has just won Carpool Karaoke.

Myf and Zan are looking at the endless drone of election campaigning, and dark news out of Alabama and sending back a reprieve of light and fluffy fodder for our Bang Fam. With Eurovision in full swing, Myf joins you from bed in Tel Aviv where the sun is just coming up. All the goss from the world’s biggest song competition awaits.

It’s farshun Christmas with the annual Met Gala on show. So many thoughts. So many hot takes. So much to dissect. The Daily Telegraph’s attack on a politician misses the mark on the realities of women’s sacrifice, but the internet restores the balance, and we’re ready to hand over cold hard cash for a unique Madonna meet 'n’ greet. Meanwhile, Yiayia next door is bringing Zan much joy, while Russian spies have got Myf razzed.
