Mitch Brown’s Coming Out & Sabrina Carpenter’s Man’s Best Friend

Hello ratty-rat-rats!!

Coming to you today with an absolutely jam-packed Ratfood, and our dear mate Paddy back on mic with us!

We start the episode chatting about the hugely pivotal moment in AFL history this week with Mitch Brown’s coming out, and we talk about the support (and lack thereof) from community and other clubs and why this is so important.

We then launch in to an unpacking of Sabrina Carpenter’s newest album drop of ‘Man’s Best Friend’, sharing our initial takes on all the songs and what we loved (and didn’t love as much!) on first listen.

And finally, we end the ep touching on where we stand with Taylor Swift - her music and her morals - and have a goooood few giggles as always.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Lots of love and we’ll see you for another Ratbag this coming Monday!

Big fat cheese cubes to you all.

Mel & Sam

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.
