Big Small Talk

This week we kick things off at the Met Gala, a celebration of fashion and art that’s starting to feel a little Hunger Games, especially with billionaire backing from Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez. We unpack Victoria’s reforms to better support victim-survivors of sexual violence, and the lawsuits facing Kylie Jenner - who’s being sued by not one, but two former housekeepers. Hannah then breaks down the news media bargaining incentive and what it actually means for how we consume news on social media. Plus, what’s really going on behind the scenes of Euphoria, including Labrinth pulling his music, and an update following the arrest linked to the murder of five-year-old Kumanjayi Little Baby.
