Myf and Zan are back to make sense of the week that was, and mourn the unnecessary loss of Freya the 600kg walrus. The Bang Box has been overflowing with your sweet emails, and also some nice surprises from young nudists.
Speaking of getting your gear off, Tommy Lee did, but who asked for it? We dissect the double standards of Instagram censorship. And an editorial on our connection to music as we age has us thinking about our own musical journeys.
Meanwhile Myf is devouring a new podcast on the weight loss industry, and Zan has more questions than answers about The Rehearsal.
