Episode Synopsis


It’s finally here, Netflix’s first locally commissioned show whose mere existence was already divisive. What do Myf and Zan make of Byron Baes? It’s quite the time for reality on Netflix – however that’s constructed – and we’re curious about what it says about us. Are we being wilfully scammed at every turn? International Women’s Day was this week, and a piece on whose voices are being amplified in Australia has cut right through. And we’re banging on about a joyful substack, and the new Apple TV show Severance.Show notes:Why Do We Fall for the TV Scammers: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/mar/08/anna-delvey-tinder-swindler-tv-netflix-inventing-annaByron Baes: https://www.smh.com.au/culture/tv-and-radio/byron-baes-review-you-can-t-tear-your-eyeballs-away-even-as-they-melt-20220308-p5a2rc.htmlJoe Vs Carole: https://www.nine.com.au/entertainment/latest/joe-vs-carole-tiger-king-inspired-series-stan-trailer-kate-mckinnon-john-cameron-mitchell/544e9d51-c926-46ab-bf99-8b96f10cddb8Gender Pay Gap Bot: https://www.theverge.com/2022/3/8/22966966/twitter-bot-pay-disparity-company-data-international-womens-dayThe Acceptable White Faces of Australian Feminism: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/mar/07/grace-tame-and-brittany-higgins-are-supremely-admirable-and-the-acceptable-white-faces-of-australian-feminismAll the Heterosexual Nonsense I Was Forced to Endure: https://heterosexualnonsense.substack.com/Severance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEQP4VVuyrYEmail us: [email protected] On is an ABC podcast, produced by Double J.
