#183: White Lotus, Amanda Knox, Census

What this episode covers

Everyone’s frothing on the social satire White Lotus and frankly we don’t want it to end. Myf and Zan share some good news for fellow fans, and an insight into the music that makes the show. Meanwhile Dolly is telling more stories with the news of her debut novel; we’re ready to tear into it. A new film based on the story of Amanda Knox’s conviction and acquittal is about to come out, and the woman herself has thoughts on who gets to tell her story. And the five yearly Census has arrived, with some interesting questions and strange omissions. All hail Beyoncé, who has filled the fashun coiffeurs with some wild looks and denim chaps. Thank you Queen. And we’re bringing Bang On live to South Australia for the first time! It will literally be whaine taime.     Show notes: Bang On live at Grapes of Mirth: https://grapesofmirth.com.au/the-festival/ Dolly Parton novel: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2021/aug/11/dolly-parton-to-publish-her-first-novel-in-2022 White Lotus score: https://www.vulture.com/article/the-white-lotus-score-theme-composer-interview.html Who Owns Amanda Knox?: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/07/amanda-knox-stillwater-matt-damon/619628/ Stillwater trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cq1lPPeMUY&ab_channel=FocusFeatures Census erasure: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-08-10/lgbtiq-census-erasure/100362094 Beyoncé in Harpers Bazaar: https://www.harpersbazaar.com/culture/features/a37039502/beyonce-evolution-interview-2021/ Open Water: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/53414230-open-water Poly Styrene: I Am a Cliché: https://play.miff.com.au/film/poly-styrene-i-am-a-cliche/ Viv Albertine books: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/7504032.Viv_Albertine Email us: [email protected]   Bang On is recorded on the lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation.
