About this episode
The internet has gifted Myf and Zan this week, with shortcuts to cooking glory and cat filters for days. Pride Month in America is sparking lots of conversations about queer subcultures becoming the mainstream, and we’re digging into all the hot takes. And over in the UK big organisations are taking affirmative action on gender equality. Beryl pops by too. God love her.
