We’re holding space for the lyrics of Defying Gravity this week, and wishing we had attended Melbourne’s very own Jacob Elordi lookalike content. The ICC has issued arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu owing to his role in the genocide in Gaza, and social media’s role in legal systems is being questioned.

💖 We hope you love Episode 32 of the podcast for burnt out girlies trying to stay Broadly Relevant, hosted by your favourite personality hires, Simran Pasricha & Ryan Hamilton. Stay tuned for new episodes every Monday at 6PM (AEDT)
