The normally apolitical Ms Dolly Parton has spoken out in support of Black Lives Matter, which has us looking back at the Dolly Parton’s America podcast and thinking about the theme of “unity” that is dominating US politics this week. Cardi B has interviewed Joe Biden, and Cher is VOLUNTEERING (all caps) at her local post office. 2020, you’re a wild time! And a report auditing diversity on Australian broadcast news and current affairs has us shocked but not surprised. We chat about where the responsibility lies for change. Myf is also watching Indian Matchmaking and Zan bangs on about a new documentary by Steven Oliver (Black Comedy) about Captain Cook's arrival in Australia.
