Helloooo darlings!!

We hope you’re having a beautiful week, and welcome to your platter full of ratfood!

This week we are in absolute FLOW state chatting everything from our thoughts on the most recent Melbourne Theatre Company show ‘Losing Face’, to our thoughts on Olivia Rodrigo’s new album, to how we feel about doing the first ever development of our musical and lots in between.

We also talk about free-to-air TV nostalgia (and supremacy), why we’re going to it more and more as well as diving deeper in to showing you the full extent of our showcase addition.

We will see you for another Ratbag on Monday, and wishing you love and cheese cubes wherever you are in the world this Ratfood day.

Okay! Love you, bye!

Mel & Sam

Mel & Sam would like to acknowledge that Ratbag is being recorded on Stolen Land.

The original custodians of this land have had a rich history of storytelling for over 65,000 years, and we pay our respects to the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation whose land we are recording Ratbag on.

Treaties were never signed. Sovereignty was never ceded. Always was and always will be Aboriginal land.
