9. MIC-CHECK
HEY HELLO! Today we have a very exciting episode. Music is so much more than just perfectly choreographed beats and rhythm, it's a slice of our collective social experience. But not all artists are given equal opportunity. The unlikely hero changing the game? Social media. For Sereen Omran that’s TikTok. She’s using the app to by-pass the gatekeepers of a music industry traditionally reserved for a select few. Find Sereen on instagram @sereensounds Find us on Instagram @23_Podcast

8. Unpacked: What the hells up with with tinder?
Hey guys, This week we're breaking down the investigation that SHOOK us. There were goosebumps, tears and a huge fucking question mark left at the end when we considered what could be done to resolve this problem. In short, Tinder - get your shit together. We talk about the highs and lows of dating apps, the slow regression back to shopping aisle meet-cutes, why we think law enforcement needs to step the fuck up and how this joint investigation by Triple J Hack and Four Corners affected us personally. If any of the topics or stories discussed in this episode were triggering to you, please call Lifeline on 13 11 14 or White Ribbon on 1800 RESPECT.

7. Everyday we're (kind of) hustling
Helloooo hello hello! Just your friendly neighbourhood podcasters here to discuss just how fucked we, millennials and Gen Z, really are! FUN RIGHT?! With the job market dwindling and our economy hanging on by thread, studies are showing it is going to be more difficult than ever for our generation to find secure and stable jobs. YAY! In this ep we unpack whether we think uni has really prepared us for the real world, whether the gig-economy may have a digital revive (fingers crossed) and how to look on the bright side of what can only be described as a relatively bleak professional landscape, one which we are fkn nervous and apprehensive to enter. However, it's not all bad news! Kelsey has a rant about the questionable nature of certain aspects of her everyday life - "peeling the shell off an egg is hard work" and Bella attempts to find the silver lining of university and how it may have been subliminally shaping us for the workforce all along. ENJOY! Receipts Receipts Receipts The wonderful article explaining why we are, in fact, screwed - HuffPost Article - 'Millennials Are Screwed.'
