Two Lips One Mic – Details, episodes & analysis

On this February 14, we pay homage to the other love; the love that comes out of female friendships. We discuss the difficulties with growing up and drifting apart with our friends but also what makes female friendships that much more enduring when you find the right people. Finally, for those who aren't lucky to have yet found their 'people' we give you some tips on what you can do to find your own group of women who will support and uplift you to be what you want to be. Happy Galentines Day!

In this week's episode, we explore the touchy topic of being expected to be model minorities and the tenuous line between being a proud migrant kid and white washed. We examine this in the context of Cathy Park Hong's Model Minority and Masako Fukui's 'Being a Good, Quiet and Assimilated Model MInority is making me angry' available here.

Now that the greatest reality show of this year is over, what will the girls do next? We discuss life issues - career, relationships and family and the challenges of not quite where we are doing with this thing called life. We also look at work and whether millennials are just lazy and entitled as Roxy Jacenko thinks.

This week, we examine the complicity of the Australian media and our politicians in the emergence of white supremacy in Australia. We discuss the sentencing of George Pell and the fine line between justice and the law. Finally, we discuss the US College admissions scandal which demonstrates the true hardship of a society that privileges the rich and entrenches wealth.

This week's episode is dedicated to all the amazing women in our lives who have supported, mentored and fed us.

We discuss the reasons for IWD and why the menz should stop asking why we need a day to highlight the systemic issues facing women including, amongst other things, death at the hands of their intimate partner.

We deep dive into the abuse in MAFS and discuss why we need to empower ourselves financially.

This week, we do a deep dive on the Gilette Ad that has been making waves. 

Khushi and Anna go into the nitty gritty of the year that was 2018; the year of political baby daddies, sugar babies and more. Delve into their recommendations for the year and also their hopes for the year to come.

SORRYY FOR THE HIATUS! It appears that life has gotten in the way but we're back! Soundcloud may be holding most of our first season hostage cause we didn't pay the bills, we're still back!

We chat, Clem Ford's Boys will be Boys and the Keli Lane case.

In this episode, we discuss the public discussions that have occurred in the aftermath of Euridyce Dixon's tragic death, in particular when is the line crossed between 'safety advice' and plain victim blaming? We also look at Bri Lee's excellent memoir Eggshell Skull and explore the themes of criminal responsibility in sexual offence trials and mental health in the legal profession.

Warning - this episode deals with themes of sexual assault. 

In light of the brave interview given to Four Corners this week, we discuss Saxon Mullin's case and the wider implications it has for law reform, communicating consent and the inherent difficulties with legislating for human behaviour.
