Hi pals, 

To kick this week's ep off, we discuss the news that Hobart’s Museum of Old and New Art has been ordered to allow “persons who do not identify as ladies” entry to its Ladies Lounge art installation after losing a legal battle.

Next, is late-stage capitalism eroding what we expect from our friendships?  

TikTok user Amelia Montooth started a conversation on the app recently after stating that we should all be participating in the ‘small favour’ economy more. 

A follow up to that conversation was user Fagan Chelsea who made a video saying the ‘constant venmoing each other culture to be a little dystopian’. We share our thoughts on these conversations and discuss how capitalism is changing our relationships. 

The other day, Maggie made this TikTok about the commodification of love on social media. It hit a nerve and received hundreds of thousands of views. We chat about her video and her new piece for Refinery29 Au titled 'What's The Cost Of Commodifying Love On Social Media?'. 

Next, we use Rebecca Jennings' Vox piece 'Everyone's A Sell Out Now' to discuss the way artists have to be marketers first and creatives second. We reference our editor's band Reckless Coast.

Do you need an authenticity coach? This is the question author Diana Reid posed in ELLE Australia recently. We discuss the article and concepts surrounding it. 

We have two podcast recommendations today; Broadly Relevant and Who Screwed Millenials?
