Dua Lipa Married, Teal Party & Patagonia's Lawsuit
02/06/2026 | 1h 1 mins.
A packed episode today! We start with the moment an anti-abortion activist posted a photo of sugar gliders, claiming they were twin girls named Emma and Ruth. Then, congratulations are in order for Dua Lipa and Callum Turner, who have officially tied the knot! We also unpack the short-lived push for a new teal political party and ask whether Australia actually needs another option on the ballot.
Plus, Cynthia Erivo has made it clear she's over talking about Wicked, Pope Leo has become one of the loudest global voices on the ethics of AI, and we break down the trademark battle between the brand Patagonia and drag queen climate activist Pattie Gonia.

27/05/2026 | 38 mins.
Beloved cook, artist and TV personality Poh Ling Yeow joins me to talk about her journey with religion and her decision to leave the Mormon Church. Growing up, I watched Poh on MasterChef Australia and Poh's Kitchen, so this conversation felt incredibly special. We chat about her teenage years in the the church, Mormonism's unexpected pop culture resurgence, the material that made her begin to question things, and what her relationship with spirituality looks like now.
