This week’s episode kicks off with some local news. The Inspired Unemployed team has found themselves in the headlines as a “practical joke” on a feminist panel didn’t land. 

During this segment, we reference a TikTok from Culture Club listener, Maybelline San Juan who was in the audience when the comedy dup hijacked the talk. 

Next, Billie Eilish has gotten a few Swifties up in arms over her comments around vinyl packaging and multiple drops. We reference this Billboard article titled Why Billie Eilish Insists On Sustainability In Her Career by Lyndsey Havens. 

Jojo Siwa has had one of the most famous “rebrands” of all time over the past few weeks and we need to talk about it. The former child star has gone mega viral after teasing her new “grown up” single Karma. 

We discuss our thoughts on her shedding her child star status and read from this Vulture article Is JoJo Siwa’s ‘Karma’ a Flop or a Flop? by Rebecca Alter and Jason P. Frank. 

Stand-up comedian Stef Dag was interviewed on the TikTok account Subway Takes and sparked an internet discourse around the “Candid Girlfriend”. We chat about the many (many) takes that came from the 90 second clip. 

In recommendations, Maggie loved an essay by Gladys Lai for Vogue Australia titled I stopped wearing make-up. Now, my feelings about beauty are more complicated than ever and Jas devoured The Work by Bri Lee.
