Re-Entering Society Post Lockdown With Lifeline Crisis Supporter

It's week two of our Rewind series (we're back next week dw!), looking back at some of our favourite eps over the past few months. We dip in just before 2021 here, as we played a game of ReFlex with FlexMami in December last year! Her card game for intellectual thinkers is a cracker, and on today's Rewind we chatted about: Our favourite cancelled artists and why? It was honestly surprising to see so many parallels between the artists we spoke about. Is happiness accessible to everyone? We touched on our personal experiences and perceptions of happiness which made it hard to determine if it's accessible or not.  Connect With Flex: Web: http://www.flexmami.com/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/flexmami/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/flex.mami/?hl=en Buy Reflex & other sick Flex gear: https://flexfactory.store/ Our Socials: Trends & Tings Podcast Group ~ https://www.facebook.com/groups/605282423374555/ ~ Trends & Tings Instagram ~ https://www.instagram.com/trendsandtings/ ~ Trends & Tings Twitter ~ https://twitter.com/trendsandtings ~ Patreon ~  https://www.patreon.com/trendsandtings ~ Trends & Tings is hosted by Sydney lads, Gordon D'Mello (@gdm_ello) and Scott Singh (@scottysingstar).

2021 Rewind: Playing ReFlex With FlexMami

We're on a bit of a break while Scotty goes and ties the knot, so we're rewinding to some of our favourite shows from 2021. To kick things off, we throwback to our Real Chats episode with Zoë Condliffe from She's A Crowd, to talk about gender-based violence and how real-world data is used to influence decision-makers and people of power. This chat naturally stemmed into a few topic areas, including: How empowering individuals to share their story creates a community and offers data that influences meaningful change. Progress is being made to close the gender gap however recent events (we're looking at you Canberra) shows us that there is still a lot to get done. There isn't one solution to address gender-based violence, meaning we all can contribute to reducing violence in our own ways.

Ted Lasso cleaned up at the 2021 Emmys, and while The Mare Of Easttown also did well - did other shows get robbed?? We chat about Best Drama, Comedy and Limited Series + why the Emmys missed a big opportunity for diversity. Nicki Minaj's says her cousin's friend became impotent because he got the Covid vax! Wowza. We chat if there's any truth to it, and whether vaccine denial is the new norm for pandemic discussions.

What We're Vibing: B Wise Chats New Album "jamie"

As Australia makes (slow) progress towards the magic 70% fully vaccinated, what's next for us? We look at how other countries have opened up, how they've handled Delta, and if they've been successful in curbing daily cases. Vapes are set to be banned on October 1st!!! We look at some worrying data about people starting to vape at seriously young ages + whether it's a knee jerk reaction, or if there is a more sinister government reason for the ban.   Show Notes: How does Australia’s reopening plan stack up against the rest of the world and what can we learn?

How Other Nations Have Opened Up At 70% Vax'd

Welcome to the very first Trends & Tings episode dedicated to What We're Vibing. We're starting strong as we cover Drake's "Certified Lover Boy" and how it stacks up against Kanye's "DONDA". We also share our thoughts on releases from Duckwrth, Tobiahs, Disclosure and Broods.  What We're Vibing Playlist https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2PQ3ZPzHyPDawYsyqmQTP8?si=b6072fd4a0a74027 Linktree https://linktr.ee/trendsandtings Socials: Trends & Tings Podcast Group ~ https://www.facebook.com/groups/605282423374555/ ~ Trends & Tings Instagram ~ https://www.instagram.com/trendsandtings/ ~ Trends & Tings Twitter ~ https://twitter.com/trendsandtings ~ Patreon ~  https://www.patreon.com/trendsandtings ~ Trends & Tings is hosted by Sydney lads, Gordon D'Mello (@gdm_ello) and Scott Singh (@scottysingstar).

What We're Vibing: Drake vs. DONDA

The 2020 Respect At Work report recommended 55 things the government should address regarding sexual harassment. But ScoMo and co's recent laws only adopt 6 of these recommendations, raising a lot of heads. We chat about this failure, and wonder why he just doesn't seem to deliver on his promises to women. Also! Police nationwide have been caught using check-in app data to solve unrelated crimes to COVID. So we chat privacy, if it should ever be ok for police to access such data and what the future holds.

Why Doesn't ScoMo Respect Women???

We have an exciting update on the future of the podcast! A couple of changes are coming that we're excited to share. With COVID rampant, we chat to nurse Maddie, who works at a major Sydney hospital. She gives us an insight into just how real the virus is, the impact it's having on patients + families, her thoughts on the vaccine and what the way forward is for the country. Also Kanye's 'Donda' is finally out! So we unpack the latest album from Ye, if it hits if it's shit, and all the hype in between.

Inside A COVID ICU Ward With A Nurse

OnlyFans will be banning explicit content on the site in October, so what does this mean for sex workers who use the platform for a wage? We chat to sex worker + content creator Isobel Thorne about what it means and unpack why it happened.  We also chat with high school teacher Adriana Manley about a new ABC doco-series called The School That Tried To End Racism. We speak about whether racism should be addressed at school, or if kids are too young to fully grasp it. Show Notes: Why did OnlyFans ban sexually explicit content?

With Europe, Canada and other places around the globe introducing vaccine passports to open society up - are we next? We unpack the good, the bad and the challenges. Also! Quentin Tarantino is in the news, saying he hasn't given his mum any money from his super successful career because she didn't support his film writing as a kid. So we chat holding grudges, parent problems as kids + more.

Covid Vaccine Passport; Deal Or No Deal?

Ya girl Rihanna has cracked the billionaire club last week with a reported worth of $1.7B. While congratulations are in order, we wonder if the world needs another billionaire right now and even if it’s our place to question her wealth. Also, the AFL isn’t looking good with another racist incident involving former Adelaide Crows captain Taylor Walker. We unpack what happened and if it’s time to up the punishment to stop this behaviour from happening.    Show Notes: Fenty’s Fortune: Rihanna Is Now Officially A Billionaire (Forbes)https://bit.ly/37xZ7bf Adelaide Crows linchpin Taylor Walker apologises to Robbie Young for racial abuse (ABC News)https://ab.co/3Cykd7J Socials: Trends & Tings Podcast Group ~ https://www.facebook.com/groups/605282423374555/ ~ Trends & Tings Instagram ~ https://www.instagram.com/trendsandtings/ ~ Trends & Tings Twitter ~ https://twitter.com/trendsandtings ~ Patreon ~  https://www.patreon.com/trendsandtings ~ Trends & Tings is hosted by Sydney lads, Gordon D'Mello (@gdm_ello) and Scott Singh (@scottysingstar).
