This week, we chat about the re-writing of Roald Dahl’s books, and what it really means for English books. We also analyse a pair of Op-Eds from Hazel Edwards and Özge Sevindik Alkan - one of them was not telling the truth (wanna guess who?!?) 
We talk about the movies we watched this week (Paris Can Wait, 2017: White Noise 2022) and the books we read: Inconceivable by Alexandra Collier and Build Your house around my body by Violet Kupersmith) 

(01:30) Paris Can Wait

(04:40) White Noise, and the love-hate of Adam Driver

(13:18) Inconceivable: Alexandra Collier 

(20:44) Build your house around my body: Violet Kupersmith

(27:04)Revisions to Roald Dahl's books stoke anger about censorship, but authors say change is justified 

(34:45 Dear Young Girl in the Bubble-Gum-Pink Hijab: The power to write, who benefits from that power, and who gets to determine what is cultural appropriation

Roughly one in 10 Aussies come from somewhere in Asia, yet when you look at our representation on TV, film, radio and literature, you’d think we were completely non-existent. What do you do when the world doesn’t give you the space to be heard? You make your own space. Each week, sisters and Sydney locals Helen Stenbeck and Jessie Tu give searing intersectional feminist critiques on social and cultural issues relevant to those living in Australia and abroad. Join us as we traverse the complex intersectionality of gender, race and culture.
