Summary

WAHOOOOO IT’S MONDAY! Thanks so much for giving us your ears for this hour of power. On today’s show: WHO WON DOGGO OF SHAMELESS? Plus! The divorce announcement that we care about deeply and the rise of medfluencers - doctors, dieticians and nurses who are making money on Instagram. And - finally - the opinion piece on the Karen meme that was so contentious, it was the top trending topic on Twitter in Australia over the weekend. Mich forgot to recommend anything because she was too busy talking about the new baby burrito. Can she recommend you become an aunty? Because she wants to recommend that. Zara recommended 7am’s episode, Profiting from Auschwitz. She recommends Michelle shut the eff up about babies. Some links from today’s episode: Read Eve Simmons’s piece on medfluencers. Read Julia Baird’s story on the Karen meme. A big thank you to today’s sponsor, Maybelline. Check out their new Falsies Lash Lift Mascara here. Craving more? You’re only human.
