Summary

Hey there, fabulous folks! On today’s show: The anti-vaxxer movement's annoying PR glow-up. Plus, the ‘Call Her Daddy’ furore goes global. And then, how Emily Oberg killed her own brand, Sporty & Rich, in a matter of days. If you’d like to take action about what’s going on in the world right now, you can donate to the same charities Shameless Media has supported over the weekend: the Minnesota Freedom Fund and the North Australian Aboriginal Justice Agency. Mich recommended one of our favourite episodes of In Isolation with Melissa Leong, and Zara recommended another nibble, Kellogg’s Crispix Cereal (certainly not sponsored, because Mich is... not a fan). The readings on cultural appropriation from our Facebook threads are below. We implore you to give them all a read, as well as continue to do your own research. ‘7 Reasons Why White People Should Not Wear Black Hairstyles’ by Maisha Z. Johnson. Deaths Inside: Indigenous Australian Deaths in Custody by The Guardian. This Twitter thread by @GOLDENFILTER. Such A Fun Age by Kiley Reid. Thank you so much to today’s sponsor, Nutty Bruce.
