Heya rat heads! It’s time for another ‘Ratbag’! and today we are kick starting the episode off chatting about a food delivery app… where you’re food doesn’t arrive. Next we have a write in from a rat asking about how to take the leap into working full time in the arts, and we share our tips and tricks from what we’ve learned over the years. Then Sam railroads the kick ons (sorry Mel) before we both sing an improv about ghost kitchens.
Thanks as always for joining us! See you on Thursday for another ‘Ratfood!
Love Mel and Sam xx

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.
