With Lockie’s journey to find love coming to fruition tonight, we at 2LBC bring you a rather snarky dissection of the franchise. We consolidate our findings from Bachelor alumni podcasts and content to bring you details on the casting process, production and why there probably will not ever be a brown Bachelor/Bachelorette in Australia.

How and Why institutions protect powerful men (Larry Nassar, Harvey Weinstein, George Pell etc)
On the back of the allegations against Justice Dyson Heydon, we explore why institutions have continued to shield and protect powerful men, allowing them to continually commit acts of sexual violence against those that enter their sphere. We look at the underlying roots of patriarchy, and ask how this continues to happen.

Should we separate an artist from their art?
Our episode this week delves into our own dilemma surrounding whether we should be holding artists accountable for their problematic comments, and more so - should this be separated from their work? We draw a few pop culture examples where this conundrum has popped up, backed up by concepts of literary theorists!

A movement not a moment
In this week's episode we reflect on the social media coverage of the recent race riots that occurred in the US following the brutal death of innocent black man, George Floyd. We are conscious that using our platform to reflect on this very trending discourse may appear to be ironic given the angle we have for you today. Our intention is not, to capitalise on the chaos and add add to a trend, rather we have an important message that we would like to convey. As we said it was and is very important for us to not be complicit, complacent or non-committal in our expressions, and we hope our podcast provides that insight in a meaningful way. As always, we are keen to get your thoughts and learn more from the discussion.

Why do some people seek out critical thinking whilst others don't?
In our very first podcast episode, we look at why some people invest in critical thinking and others avoid it. We unpack unconscious bias and ask whether protecting yourself is a good enough reason to remain ignorant. Take a drink everytime we say critical thinking...
