A YEAR OF THE POD. Can you believe it, Rats??

We can not BELIEVE that we’ve been doing this for a year and we’re oh so grateful for every single one of you that has joined us so far - whether that be for 1 episode or 105 episodes.

Today to celebrate we are going IN on our ‘Love Is Blind’ Season 9 thoughts - because it wouldn’t be a Mel & Sam pod without a shameless reality TV deep dive! We talk about the political undertones of the season, the representations of masculinity, the good, the bad, the ugly, the glass closet, some of our reunions predictions and so much more.

We also (very importantly) rank our fave chocolates, mourn the canning of Queer Ultimatum and celebrate Lucy’s catering business. It’s all happening!

Love and cheese cubes to you all this Ratfood day, and we will of course see you for another Ratbag on Monday.

Mwa mwa mwa!

Mel & Sam

xoxo

Mel & Sam would like to acknowledge that Ratbag is being recorded on Stolen Land.

The original custodians of this land have had a rich history of storytelling for over 65,000 years, and we pay our respects to the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation whose land we are recording Ratbag on.

Treaties were never signed. Sovereignty was never ceded. Always was and always will be Aboriginal land.
