Radical Irwin Parenting, Bluey's Glow-Up & The Lindsay Clancy Trial
About this episode
The episode discusses parenting themes through the lens of media, legal cases, and societal pressures.
Bluey’s had a Hollywood glow-up and some don't love the 3D fur on Australia's best dogs. But are we all just terrible at change? The Lindsay Clancy trial has become the case mothers can’t stop talking about. Why has this horrific story captivated so many? (Skip ahead to 26 minutes if you this isn't for you.) Also, Sarah Abo brought her four-week-old baby onto breakfast TV. A gorgeous “meet the baby” moment… or a tiny glimpse of the pressure women feel to prove they’re still at work while on maternity leave?
