New episodes every Tuesday 7-9am
This week’s topics: We’re back for 2026 – how was your break and what was the highlight? Jason unleashes a full Fashion Rant, stanning Matthieu Blazy and Michael Rider as creative directors to watch, unpacking Chanel Métiers d’art, Celine Summer 2026, and the story of Bhavitha Mandava opening the Chanel show while her parents watched from India. Cat dives into New Year’s resolutions and the science of the “fresh start” effect, plus edible protein powder made from carrot leftovers, and the top countries Aussies travelled to in 2025. Mietta breaks down Taylor Swift’s six-part Apple doc (with Gracie Abrams and Taylor’s stage-mum grandma but suspiciously no Jack Antonoff), the storm-ravaged chaos of Beyond the Valley, and Nick Cannon’s ever-expanding family Christmas cards. We also get into all the celebrity goss of Timothée Chalamet calling his recent roles “top level sh*t”, Kate Winslet’s directorial debut on her son’s film Goodbye June, Lachie Neale stepping down as Brisbane co-captain amid a cheating scandal, the prickly new Chevy Chase documentary, Brigitte Bardot’s legacy and homophobia, and a joyous queer joy moment: Sam Kerr marrying Kristie Mewis in the Swan Valley on New Year’s Eve.
