Summary

Hey there! On today’s show: Is James Corden the next to fall down to cancel culture? Plus, the celebrity baby boom, David Beckham’s massive Netflix’s deal, and the Kardashian birthday story that split Shameless listeners right down the middle. Is it a bit gross to celebrate your 40th birthday on a private island and post about it on social media, all in the midst of a pandemic? Or, should we just accept that rich people are going to live their very best lives, no matter what the rest of us are doing? This week, Mich recommended Reputation Rehab on ABC iView. For our fellow Melbournians, Zara recommended listening out for the boisterous noises of lively pubs, restaurants, and busy roads. We’ve missed you, sounds!
