Weirder Together with Ben Lee and Ione Skye25 Mai

Jacob Elordi's Fake Injury, the Kylie Doco & Georgia Maq Is Going to Be Huge

Ben and Ione discuss ribbon collections, Minnie Mouse comparisons, and a theory about why the first guy in your friend group to have sex always had great posture.

Then: Ione and Ben went to see Georgia Maq (of Camp Cope) perform her first solo show back in Australia — and Ben has a bold prediction about her new song "Rearranging Chairs on the Titanic." Also: Ben's track record of terrible music predictions (Bruno Mars, Beastie Boys Sabotage, "nobody will watch movies on a computer").

The Kylie Minogue Netflix documentary gets a full debrief — Michael Hutchence, Nick Cave, Olivia Newton-John as Sandy, the gay community saving her career, and what Kylie taught an entire generation of Australian artists about reinventing yourself.

Ben brings some inside Australian music industry news: a major new study revealing community radio delivers $153M back to the economy on $28.6M in funding — and why live music venues are facing an insurance crisis that could kill the scene.

And finally: Jacob Elordi faked a sprained ankle to skip the Cannes Film Festival jury and hang out with Kendall Jenner. Ben is weirdly pro this.
