#174: Lorde, Hacks, Mare of Easttown Finale

The meme machine has been in overdrive this week, with Lorde dropping new visual clues on her new music, and Gladys pretending to watch the rugby. It’s what we need in these lockdown times, thank you, the internet.

A beautiful piece on senior singles has us contemplating the importance of different kinds of relationships with others, and ourselves.

And a long read on the absence of women in visual art has got us finding our own black spot of understanding.

Crocs have had a cracker this week too, with not one but two high profile collabs being revealed.

And we’re watching a lot, including the new heist show on SBS, The Unusual Suspects, and Hacks starring the incredible Jean Smart.

Plus, it’s a bang bonus! Stick around till the very end as we debrief on Mare of Easttown, by popular demand.
