Study pads out. Phones down. Welcome to your lecture. Today we will be going in deep on the 'Courtney Take Your Break' effect that rose to cultural relevance in musical theatre a few years ago. If this means nothing to you, don't you worry by the end of this episode you will be noticing this moment in every musical you watch.

We then take the time to both share our coming out stories in our 'Bring Bring Bitch!' hotline segment because we realised we have never done it on this pod!! Our 'Kick Ons' is an incredibly impossible palava and then we then have a 'Courtney Take Your Break' riff off for our 'Hit It Toots', where two theatre kids go head to head to have the most impactful ensemble moment.

She's a super fun one (we think!) so enjoy you darlings!!

Love you as always and see you Thursdays for another '‘Ratfood!’

Mel & Sam xx

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.
