Broadly Relevant

By: Simran Pasricha & Ryan Hamilton
  • Summary

  • 💖 The weeklyish podcast for burnt out girlies & personality hires trying to stay Broadly Relevant, with new episodes every Monday at 6PM (AEDT) We cover the news, broadly. Think pop culture vibe checks, brain-scratching deep dives, and a sufficient amount of shit-talking. Featuring a professional journo and indie theatre-maker, we’re the types to unapologetically use words like zeitgeist and eras interchangeably. Hosted by high school best friends Simran Pasricha and Ryan Hamilton and recorded from our home in Narrm, Australia. Can’t wait to chat soon, cuties 💋
