#132 Ausmusic's Me Too Moment, Cutting Cakes and Free Britney

What this episode covers

The Australian music industry is experiencing its first public #MeToo moment and we’re wondering what it will take to create real systemic change, in this small scene. Meanwhile, an exceptional feature on Thandie Newton has us pumped up, and people cutting cakes that look like things that are not cakes has us confused. The Free Britney movement is rising again, giving new context to her social media posts. And a new look wetsuit has Myf absolutely jazzed.
