We're throwing it back to 2016 for a nostalgia-filled deep dive for the year of Instagram Stories, Snake Drama, and Tropical House. Plus, we chat about recent drama at MONA, the role of the female gaze in the creator economy, and the ineffable power of a cigarette.

💖 We hope you love Episode 5 of the podcast for burnt out girlies trying to stay Broadly Relevant, hosted by your favourite personality hires, Simran Pasricha & Ryan Hamilton. Stay tuned for new episodes every Monday at 6PM (AEDT)

💛 Broadly Relevant is recorded on the land of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people of the Kulin Nations, and we met and grew up together on the land of the Kombumerri people, part of the Yugambeh Language Group. We acknowledge and pay our respects to Yugambeh and Kulin elders past and present, and extend that respect to first nations listeners. This always was and always will be Aboriginal land.
