What does it take to prepare for one of the greatest experiences of your life? Jennifer Lopez’s latest documentary Halftime answers this very question.
Literally Lived It is a special episode where we talk to people who’ve LITERALLY LIVED the experience of being on a tv show or movie.
In this episode, hosts Gen Fricker and Alexei Toliopoulos sit down with quite possibly one of the hardest workers they’ve ever met, professional dancer Ling Zhang.
Ling was about to go on and study biomedicine, but instead decided dancing is where she wanted to be. Fast forward a few years of dedication as well as hard work, which includes a lot of tears, vomit, and eight-hour-long rehearsal days, and she ended up on the Superbowl stage with the one and only JLo!

In this week's episode Gen and Alexei are talking about the new adult animationcalled ‘Human Resources’ - a spinoff of the Netflix series ‘Big Mouth.’
Hormone Monsters, Shame Wizards and all our other favourite creatures make up the ‘Human Resources team', helping humans make sense of their feelings throughout their adult life.
Meanwhile, in the real world, we have sex coaches to do that for us. One of them being Georgia Grace, who we reckon is a real-life Human Resources department! She chats to us about how she helps humans become a better version of themselves - (and she’s a lot less gross about it than Hormone Monsters are, we promise).

What do you think when you hear the words Formula 1? Fast cars? Glitz and glamour? Well, you’re not wrong - that is, when it comes to the drivers and their coaches. But what about the everyday folk: the engineers, the pit crew, the journos? Are they living up the luxury lifestyle too? Nope. Not even close.
Gen and Alexei talk to Aussie F1 journo Michael Lamonato, who takes us behind the scenes of what life is really like for those that keep up with the high-flying world of Formula 1 on battler's budget.
Plus, Michael spills the tea about the time he sprung an F1 champ stealing from a hotel.
