In this episode, Josh and Sean dive into life as queer creatives running an open mic event in London including the highs, the challenges, and the undeniable benefitis of community connection.
They go on to discuss everything from capitalism and health inequalities to how class and access power our conversations around obesity. Are poorer people more likely to be obese and why?
There’s also a chaotic discussion about Mexican pop culture, vampire cinema, and music including the new Netflix drama series Las Muertas which is based on the real life murders and human trafficking of crime sisters Las Poquianchis.
They recall their brushes with fame, surprise newspaper appearances, overpriced concert tickets, and a spirited chat about Dolly Parton’s enduring magic. The episode wraps up with the ultimate debate: who is the most famous living Australian? Are you Team Nicole or Team Kylie?
Join the conversation, share your thoughts, and don’t forget to subscribe for more chaotic chat.
Enjoy the ride!
