Myf and Zan go out with a bang

It's our last episode for a while, and we're sliving with unhinged energy. We'll wrap the big events of the week and year - yep, we're winding up with our big "Year in Review". Get ready to be reminded of all the cooked and wonderful things that happened in 2024. From the Willy Wonka Experience to Baz Lurhmann's unfiltered street chat, the powerful spectacle of the MONA Ladies Lounge case to Troye Sivan's bottomless bowl. Relive it all with us.

As we step back from hot takes and embrace a bit of "me time", we asked you what you're making time for in 2025, and we'll share some of our favourite messages. And we wouldn't leave you without some juicy bang ons! A couple of wonderful watches, and a book that might just help you switch off as well.

Bang On wouldn't be possible without an array of Bang Babes, Bang Boys, and one Bang Man; some brilliant producer brains. Many thanks to Kyran Nicholson, James Findlay, Cassie Walker, Corynne Tait, Caitlin Nienaber, Gabrielle Burke, Liza Perkovic, and Ryan Egan.

Bang Fam, we wouldn't exist without your support, feedback, love, and community. Thank you for listening to Bang On over the past (almost) 8 years. Thank you for your emails, DMs, and crop dusting of "Bang Fam" out in the wild. We are so grateful, and so emo about you. We love you heaps! Thank you for everything. x
