This Is Why You (And Everyone You Know) Is Obsessed With Heated Rivalry
About this episode
A horny hockey drama has become the internet’s new obsession...but, why?
Together with the AFL's first openly bi player Mitch Brown & Sexologist Lisa Torney we investigate the impact Heated Rivalry has for real-life queer athletes and the straight women who are lusting after the fictional leads.
And in headlines today, Adelaide Festival has cancelled its Writers' Week event following a mass boycott from authors in response to Palestinian-Australian novelist Randa Abdel-Fattah being removed from the program; Australian novelist Craig Silvey has faced court after police caught him allegedly engaging with pedophiles online and sharing child abuse material; An Iranian official has indicated that the death toll from the latest protests in the country could be as high as 2000; The Duffer brothers have admitted that pressure from production and Netflix forced them to start shooting the Stranger Things finale without it even being fully written yet
