Annabel Crabb’s new TV series Ms Represented couldn’t have come at a more perfect time and we’ve binged it all. And what does the orientation of your toilet roll say about you? A lot, apparently. Meanwhile we’re banging on about quitting, and Zan has been reading Final Revival of Opal & Nev.   Show notes: Emmy nominations: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/13/arts/television/emmys-2021-snubs-surprises-emily-in-paris.html?smtyp=cur&smid=tw-nytimes What Does Cool Even Mean?: https://www.vox.com/the-goods/22570006/cool-consumer-identity-gen-z-cheugy Ms Represented: https://iview.abc.net.au/show/ms-represented-with-annabel-crabb Federal Parliament’s Sexual Harassment Training: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-07-15/parliamentary-sexual-harassment-workplace-training-optional/100293784 Toilet Roll Orientation: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/jul/14/most-surprisingly-contentious-subject-toilet-roll-orientation Jobs, Marriages, Cities: we are quitting them: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2021/jul/11/jobs-marriages-cities-we-are-quitting-them-in-our-droves The Final Revival of Opal & Nev: https://www.hachette.com.au/dawnie-walton/the-final-revival-of-opal-and-nev Email us: bangon.podcast@abc.net.au   Bang On is an ABC podcast, produced by Double J.
