#243: Barbie, Fatphobia, Stealth WealthIt’s another wild week and we’re here to make sense of it, support donkeys in tow. The new trailer for the Barbie movie has dropped and we are salivating at the pink plastic universe coming our way. Rod Stewart has been making trips to Bunnings while in town, we explain why.With Ozempics, The Whale, and the Kardashians new looks, writer Rebecca Shaw senses the noughties fatphobia is making a comeback. Her great piece is a reminder of why that’s damaging to us all. And the “ludicrously capacious” bag in Tom Wambsgans sights tells a bigger story about how the very rich choose to show their wealth.Meanwhile Myf is bingeing Wellmania, while Zan is laffing it up at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.Show notes:Barbie trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRyt3Ov4zz0&ab_channel=WarnerBros.PicturesRod Stewart at Bunnings: https://twitter.com/jjjove/status/1642993794344960000Taylor Swift in the janitor cart: https://www.stereogum.com/2219134/taylor-swift-has-been-arriving-onstage-via-janitor-cart-fan-video-confirms/news/Fatphobia: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/mar/31/fat-shaming-body-fatphobic-now-is-the-time-to-speak-out-against-fatphobiaStealth Wealth: https://www.theguardian.com/fashion/2023/mar/30/succession-burberry-bag-bridgetWellmania: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69ZfDTpeBTA&ab_channel=NetflixComedy Festival: https://iview.abc.net.au/show/melbourne-comedy-festivalBang Back to us: [email protected] On is an ABC podcast, produced by Double J.
