Shameless

Oh hiiiii there, wonderful humans!

On today’s show: Do young people really lack resilience like Ita Buttrose said last week, and are they in need of more hugs? Plus, we need to talk about old mate Ziggy Alberts not being a fan of face masks. Then, we talk about Kanye West and the intersection of mental health and social media.

This week, Mich recommended watching Monica Lewinsky’s TED Talk, The price of shame. Zara recommended the interview with Bernardine Evaristo on How To Fail With Elizabeth Day.

As we mentioned in today’s episode, you can listen to Julia Gillard’s last parting speech here.
