Hey cutie pies! Welcome to ‘Ratbag!’ our fav lil poddily-dod that we record for you weekly! To kick start the episode Sam brings in an attempt to add some new terms to the dictionary inspired by (shock horror) the Performing Arts. We then have a write in from a little rat asking about the best practice in navigating social media as an artist and we hope something we share in this riff is even a teeny bit helpful! Then we go back to our YouTube days and answer a question around fame, before finishing the episode with an Eating Competition song. Lol. What is this pod. ILY so much and see you Thursday!

Mel & Sam would like to acknowledge that Ratbag is being recorded on Stolen Land.
The original custodians of this land have had a rich history of storytelling for over 65,000 years, and we pay our respects to the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation whose land we are recording Ratbag on.
Treaties were never signed. Sovereignty was never ceded. Always was and always will be Aboriginal land.
