Ep 99 - Dirty Jeans at Danceteria

In this latest episode of Tell Me Where I’m Going (Wrong), Josh and Sean discuss the coming out of Australian sportsperson Kane Evans, while also reflecting on their own coming out experiences. They question how attitudes towards the LGBTQ communities in both Australia and the UK have changed across their lifetimes. The pair also discuss the latest long form music video by superstar Madonna and what it means for women to age in the public eye. This also creates an opportunity to discuss the music of Australian rock music legend Adalita of the band, Magic Dirt. This episode also touches on travel etiquette, especially since Sean is currently in Australia and preparing for a flight back to the UK.
