The Female Gaze, 2016, and the Allure of Cigarettes

Broadly Relevant

We're throwing it back to 2016 for a nostalgia-filled deep dive for the year of Instagram Stories, Snake Drama, and Tropical House. Plus, we chat about recent drama at MONA, the role of the female gaze in the creator economy, and the ineffable power of a cigarette.

👋 Welcome to Episode 5 of the podcast for burnt out girlies trying to stay Broadly Relevant, hosted by your favourite personality hires, Simran Pasricha & Ryan Hamilton.

🖤💛❤️ We recorded this episode on the land of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people of the Kulin Nations, but Simran and Ryan met and grew up together on the land of the Yugambeh people. We’d like to acknowledge and pay our respects to Yugambeh, Kulin, and particularly Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung elders past and present. This always was and always will be Aboriginal land. We encourage settlers like us to Pay the Rent.
