Episode Our take: Divine Playhouse controversy, men in childcare & The Odyssey
Usually this is where you'd find The Weekend Briefing - a feature chat with a human behind the headline. This Saturday, we're launching something a little different: the week that was, and what we all made of it.
And by "we" we don't just mean us. You're in on this one too.
Each Saturday kicks off with a debrief on one story we couldn't stop talking about off air - this week it's the Divine Playhouse, the queer-led arts venue shut down inside a Sydney building that stopped being a church in 1932. Then it's our first ever weekend quiz, which Chris has not shut up about for a fortnight (full questions below). Then we open the inbox - your DMs, your comments, and where you landed on the big one this week: should men be working in early childcare? And of course we cap it off with the weekend list:
• Revenge – unsure if the TV series or the act (listener Claire)
• The Boys on Amazon Prime (listener Chris)
• Theo of Golden by Allen Levi – NYT bestselling novel (listener Suzanne)
• Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey – in cinemas now, or 6.15am at IMAX if you’re producer Alex.
The Weekend Quiz (just questions, no answers):
• Which controversial influencer faced court this week after being arrested in Miami? • After being in Europe and spotted at a luxury resort in Italy with Gina Rinehart, Pauline Hanson was back on home soil. Which state did she head to first? • What is the name of the UK's new Prime Minister? • An Australian woman made global headlines this week for an extremely rare "one in 15 million" event. What was it? • Which member of parliament yelled “sit down” while on live television this week?
