#146: Kim’s Birthday, Fashion at 40, Seduced

After 2 weeks of multiple health screens and asking everyone to quarantine, I surprised my closest inner circle with a trip to a private island where we could pretend things were normal just for a brief moment in time. Joking! We just emerged from months of lockdown to record Bang On face to face, IRL! And it’s like one million private island birthdays rolled into one. We talk about the tone deaf socials post from KKW that has the world’s meme machine ticking over. Bowie's iconic song Fashion turns 40 and the sale of iconic venue Festival Hall has us reminiscing about the live music memories that shaped who we would become, and what the future holds for those gigs (under God’s eye). Myf makes Zan’s day by banging on about a new TV series on cults, while Zan’s been watching the Borat sequel.
