#178: Sex/Life, Meditation Apps, Firestarter

We want you to Bang back! Have you watched, read or heard something that you want to tell the Bang Fam about? Let us know via the email address below.

Succession season 3 has finally been announced, and Myf and Zan are jazzed about watching the worst people on earth fight with one another, as well as Cousin Greg.

Meanwhile Myf is hate watching Sex/Life on Netflix, while Zan has watched 7 essential seconds of it. You know which ones.

A long read on how musicians are partnering with meditation apps has us thinking broadly about a centuries old practice and how it’s booming in a pandemic world.

And denim finally makes a comeback in fashion, but of course, in the way you’d least expect it.

It’s NAIDOC Week in Australia, and we’ve got some brilliant stories for you to watch, too.
