About this listen
In this final episode of the season, we explore the concept of ‘celebration’ and the significance of celebration in our every-day lives. We unpack the various rituals associated with certain cultural celebrations and personal milestones, our feelings about ATAR reveal videos, the politics of gift-giving and which Australian public holidays we’d like to fuck, marry or kill. Scarlette discusses the importance of remittance to Vietnamese transnational families and Miranda explores the significance of a baby’s first birthday in Korean culture.
A disclaimer for explicit language at the start of the episode and Scarlette mentions “Hobshawn” in reference to the historian Eric Hobsbawn.
