#156: January 26, The Honours System, It’s a Sin

The conversation around how, when, and if to mark January 26 as "Australia Day" continues, and Myf and Zan talk about how circular it’s becoming. The honours system is under scrutiny, as we question the people given the highest awards for service in Australia, and who decides it. Cardi B has made Hottest 100 history with Myf’s anthem of 2020. And pandemic fashion continues to influence the latest trends (Zan is ready to invest), while Myf’s Tupperware spew bowl chat has “brought up” some memories for Bang Fam. We’re banging on about the new series set in the time of the AIDS epidemic, “It’s a Sin”, and the latest and last season of “Call My Agent”.Show notes:James Blackwell on January 26: https://www.theage.com.au/national/on-invasion-day-i-chose-silence-today-i-must-relive-our-trauma-20210125-p56wij.htmlWant an Order of Australia? https://www.smh.com.au/national/want-an-order-of-australia-it-helps-to-be-rich-powerful-and-male-20201123-p56h13.htmlHack on the Order of Australia: https://www.abc.net.au/triplej/programs/hack/why-are-there-no-young-or-culturally-diverse-australians-helpin/13090616Australian of the Year Awards: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-01-25/2021-australian-of-the-year-award-recipients-named/13089884Hottest 100 facts and stats: https://www.abc.net.au/triplej/news/musicnews/hottest-100-of-2020-by-the-numbers-stats-facts-trivia/13085394Arm Warmer: https://www.zara.com/au/en/arm-warmer-sweatshirt-p01443011.htmlCall My Agent: https://www.netflix.com/au/title/80133335It’s A Sin: https://www.stan.com.au/watch/its-a-sinEmail us: [email protected] On is produced by Double J and is recorded on the lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation.
