Sophie Scanlon, Pagan Harrison–Brown, Clare Roche and Amy Rees discuss the Black Lives Matter movement, what drove the protests in Australia and how to be a responsible activist amid a pandemic. Then, it’s Ashlea Knickel, Mack Hastie, Kate Rooney and Harry Mulholland discussing why Trump’s banning TikTok, if it can be done and just how hard it is to get TikTok famous. Closing out the podcast, Ben Neely, Mac Reith–Snare, Claire Sams and Jess Kuntze have the obligatory COVID story, chatting about how restrictions differ between states.
