Bang On #143: Claudia Conway, Fleetwood Mac, David Attenborough
It’s been a big week in American politics and frankly, we gotta dive in. Love overtakes #ProudBoys, while a fifteen year old on TikTok becomes the voice of honesty out of the White House. An Idaho fella with a penchant for cranberry juice wins everyone over, including Mick Fleetwood. And Myf is binge watching Issa Rae's TV show Insecure, and hate-watching Emily in Paris. Meanwhile Zan discovers Myf has never seen an Attenborough nature doco, when she bangs on about his latest, "A Life On Our Planet". And we share memories of Eddie Van Halen, RIP.
