SIM Ep 492 Pod 150: Bigamy, bigotry and... Brian?

Narratives around race and ethnicity continue to be reductive and damaging, says journalist Natalie Morris, who chatted to Jen about her new book Mixed/Other, as well as identity, entitlement, and the limitations of the census. Hannah’s found out some juicy gossip about her family, so she’s caught up with Professor Rebecca Probert about the history of divorce and – SPOILER ALERT – bigamy. In Jenny off the blocks, Jen’s talking about the unstoppable rise of Rachael Blackmore. In Rated or Dated, the team rollerskates gratuitously into 90s romcom, The Truth About Cats and Dogs. And it's breaking news, unreliable news, and surprising news sources in the Bush Telegraph.  Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/standardissuespodcast. Hosted on Acast.
