Yeezy is back in the news (not sure he ever left tbh), this time because he is only releasing his next album to people who buy his pricey stem music player. Is it fair game? And do musicians deserve more money for their art?? Also Uber has released public ratings, so you can see just how many 1-star ratings you've drummed up. So naturally this made us think about all the wild rideshare experiences we've had - in particular one huge night that Scotty had.

It's a jam packed show today, with two big conversations. Joe Rogan's latest controversy is hard to argue against; after a video showed him constantly using the ‘N' word on his podcast over the past 12 years. But is he actually too popular to ever face real consequences? The Citipointe Christian College in Brisbane tried to sneakily introduce a new enrollment contract that discriminated against queer and trans students. We chat about religious and sexual impact in education and society, as politicians get set to vote on a hugely important religious discrimination bill this week.

We're sure you've seen THAT photo of 2021 Australian of the Year, Grace Tame, with Prime Minister Scott Morrison. It's a picture worth a thousand words, and to help us unpack its meaning, we're joined by She's A Crowd CEO Zoë Condliffe. Plus, it's been a mammoth week at the Australian Open, particularly around Nick Kyrgios' unique personality. So we chat through whether Aussie larrikinism is a good thing and if the sport needs more general energy and vibes.   Show Notes: Change the Story - an evidence-based framework to guide a coordinated and effective national approach to preventing violence against women: https://www.ourwatch.org.au/resource/change-the-story-summary  Follow Zoë at She's A Crowd: Website: https://shesacrowd.com/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/shesacrowd/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shesacrowd/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@shesacrowd  Follow Us!
