Sam, Tara and messy public break ups Aug 12, 2018

Show notes

Happy Monday!

Of course, it wouldn't be a recap of this week without a pretty comprehensive about one of the ugliest reality TV break ups in recent memory: What is it about these allegations of emotional and physical abuse that make us so uncomfortable?

Plus, the messy, messy divorce between Brad and Angelina escalated this week as both leaked like crazy. Oh, and are anonymous gossip Instagram accounts good for the world or an exercise in bullying?

If you're interested, here's the piece Zara mentioned on male privilege and violence on the podcast: http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/programs/hack/challenging-the-mra-claim-of-a-domestic-violence-conspiracy/8632190

The evolution of Steph Claire Smith Jun 17, 2018

Show notes

Steph Claire Smith is well-known for her presence on Instagram, but how has her approach to the platform changed as her following has boomed? We get her onto the show to ask her about the finite details of a social media presence that demands engagement of young girls.

PLUS! Sylvia Jeffreys called out Woman's Day this week for posting lies about her relationship, so how in the world do they get away with publishing utter lies? In the wake of Rebel Wilson's case struggling on appeal, we go deep on why tabloids can get away with lying. And, of course, the flammable state of Posh and Becks' marriage: What in the world is going on?

You can watch the Media Watch video here on how magazines doctor images, and the piece on Broadly from a woman who once worked in women's magazines.
