Helloooooo darlings!!
Welcome to your platter full of ratfood for the week!
Today we chat allllllll of our thoughts about the Glee reboot. What we’re excited for, what we’re not so excited for, and other reboots that we’ve seen unfortunately not work so well in the past.
We also unpack our incredible first live pod from the weekend, chatting about our highlights, why it was such a special day, the power of community building and the giggles around trying to appeal to a general population (when it is JUST not in our bones).
We will see you for another Ratbag on Monday, and wishing you love and cheese cubes wherever you are in the world this Ratfood day.
Okay! Love you, bye!
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.
