The Weekly Cheek: Recent Episodes
Hannah Ferguson, Kristin Perissinotto
The Weekly Cheek features co-hosts Hannah Ferguson and Kristin Perissinotto chatting about politics, the things politics influences, and the things that influence politics. The Weekly Cheek aims to make politics more accessible by breaking down purposefully confusing systems, critiquing the media outlets that report irresponsibly, and discussing the issues that we should all be talking about. We’ve covered prominent women in politics, the mental load, the failings of women’s media, and the importance of transparency in the pursuit of progress.
In this episode, we're saying goodbye to The Weekly Cheek and officially introducing the third Cheek co-founder, Catherine.

Dhanya reported what had happened to her, exhausting every available complaints process under the state Ministerial and Parliamentary Services Act. During these processes Dhanya was told it was her fault. She was told it was not true. She was told she was making up the allegations. She was told to enter into a relationship with her perpetrator. Those who did believe Dhanya told her that if she came forward, her political career would be over.

In this episode, we talk about the reality TV-level drama going on in federal politics right now. Gladys Berejiklian, Barnaby Joyce, and possibly Peter Dutton have been caught sending mean texts about Scott. Who leaked the texts? Will we see a leadership spill in the Liberal Party?

In this episode, we're talking about the recent parody post Celeste Barber made of supermodel Emily Ratajkowski, or Em Rata, which has been heavily scrutinised online over the past two weeks. Can sexualising yourself be a feminist act? What's the patriarchal bargain and is it okay? Can we tell women to stop posting provocative images? Let's DISCUSS. It's a spicy one.

In this episode, we talk about the things we tolerate as women, and some of the unwanted opinions we've gotten on our Cheek content over the past year. We discuss the times we didn't say anything when we should have, being polite to mitigate uncomfortable situations, and outlawing kisses on the cheek ;) from men we don't even know.

In this episode, we're discussing a New York Times opinion piece that prompted us to wonder whether political progressives or conservatives are happier people. Is ignorance bliss when it comes to political and social issues and inequality? How do people on either side of the political spectrum celebrate success? Are conservatives happier when the Liberals are in government?

In this episode, we're talking about everyone's least favourite topic... Anti-vaxxers! Is the antivax movement inherently political? How has it grown in the wake of COVID? How has wellness and natural health turned into far-right, extremist political action this year?
Find us online at cheekmedia.com.au and on socials @cheekmediaco
In this episode, we discuss the recent critiques of Australian of the Year Grace Tame, which included a scathing article in The Australian this week. Rather than applying sound critiques, the journalist of the piece used condescending language and belittlement in an attempt to bully Tame into silence.
Find us online at cheekmedia.com.au and on socials @cheekmediaco
In this episode, we're talking about what we think are the downfalls of the progressive left. Is the left exclusionary? Should we be making progressive content more accessible? Does the left get in its own way? Should we be more empathetic to those who don't align with us politically?

In this episode, we compare Scott Morrison to Tony Abbott in a showdown for who was the worse Prime Minister. We're currently in the most divisive and volatile political climate in our lifetimes - but would things be 'worse' if Mr Abbott was still around? Which PM has the biggest ego? Let's discuss.

In this episode, we're talking about problematic family members and loved ones. You're at a family lunch, that long-term family friend spots you. They approach. It's happening too quickly for you to get away. They look positively gleeful, and bring up a few politically-charged Facebook posts you made this week. You glance around, no cousins are there to save you. Your mum shoots you the look, indicating in no uncertain terms that you are NOT to cause a scene. Do you have the conversation, armed with facts and stats, or do you smile, nod, and walk away?
Find us online at cheekmedia.com.au and on socials @cheekmediaco
In this episode, we're talking about the most recent failings of our Australian politicians. Is 'doing their best' good enough? Why is Gladys Berejiklian tapping out of press conferences? Has Scott Morrison learned nothing from his abysmal Hawaii trip (spoiler: no he hasn't)? Should we present Annastacia Palaszczuk's media person with some kind of prize? We answer all these questions with the incredible expertise of two 20-something women who are always engaged and even more often enraged.
Find us online at cheekmedia.com.au and on socials @cheekmediaco
In this episode, we're talking about the mental load. The mental load refers to the burden, usually carried by women, of managing all household tasks and social requirements. In your household, who makes sure the washing is done, children/pets are fed, and completes all or most life admin tasks? Women are most often conditioned to carry the mental load, but there's no reason to stick to those norms.

In this episode, we're talking about professional sport and whether top-level athletes have body autonomy. Kristin talks about her experience as a competitive powerlifter and what it’s like to participate in a sport that’s so visible in your body. Do professional athletes have autonomy over their own bodies? How much control could a coach have over them? And what is it like for your whole career to be heavily reliant on your body?

In this episode, we're talking about the Bachelor and similar shows like Love Island and MAFS. Is it possible to reconcile a feminist outlook and engaging with the Bachelor and the discussions that come after it? Is it just as problematic to watch fictional shows with damaging stereotypes. Don't listen while operating heavy machinery because this episode gets a lil sPiCy.
Find us online at cheekmedia.com.au and on socials @cheekmediaco
In this episode, we're talking about Scott Morrison, and the current state of Australian politics (very bad). Morrison should be at least getting ready to call an election by now, but is not appearing to make any real effort to improve how he comes across to voters. We also provide our best impersonations of the PM and critique the Opposition Leader's food pics, which are bad but not as bad as the aforementioned state of federal politics.

In this episode, we're doing a follow up to our episode about Botox (E34)! Our Instagram followers had lots of thoughts about Botox and cosmetic procedures, so we decided to revisit the issue on the podcast and go deeper this time. We discuss the trillion dollar beauty industry, how it creates and capitalises on women's insecurities, and whether you can ever truly undergo a cosmetic procedure just for yourself.
Find us online at cheekmedia.com.au and on socials @cheekmediaco
In this episode, we talk about how to productively critique women we disagree with or deem problematic. We respond to thoughts from some of our followers on Instagram, and discuss (and productively critique) former Liberal politicians Julie Bishop and Julia Banks. Hannah fangirls over Annabel Crabb, and we reflect on some scenes from her new show and podcast Ms Represented (now streaming in iView and Apple Podcasts).

In this episode, we're discussing the beach handball players who flouted federation rules by wearing shorts to compete, instead of the mandated bikini briefs. Should federations remove the bikini rule? Why do men's and women's sports have such different uniforms? Are bikinis mandated only to boost viewership of the sport? What role does the media play in all of this?
Find us online at cheekmedia.com.au and on socials @cheekmediaco
In this episode, we're talking about Botox! We're absolutely not qualified and neither of us have had any experience with Botox or similar procedures, but that's never stopped us before. Why are so many young people now getting 'preventative Botox'? What is preventative Botox? How many things do we do to our faces because we're socialised, and can you ever have a procedure done 'just for yourself'?
Find us online at cheekmedia.com.au and on socials @cheekmediaco
In this episode, we discuss the ableism surrounding insults about our new Deputy Prime Minister, Barnaby Joyce, after a pertinent Tweet from Carly Findlay. We also talk about unpacking societal conditioning, the importance of going beyond tokenism and thinking critically on social media, and what it means to correct someone's grammar online.

In this episode, we discuss the so-called vaccine "bungle," Scott Morrison's four point plan where just one part of the first phase is 'vaccinate' (yikes). The absolute shit show that is the recent health advice for Aussies, and whether the rest of the country sees Queensland as a bunch of conservative country bumpkins who live in the sticks.
Find us online at cheekmedia.com.au and on socials @cheekmediaco
In this episode, we discuss whether it's our responsibility to live as long as possible. We cover the upcoming Voluntary Assisted Dying legislation, whether we'd take a tablet to live forever, and Hannah can't help but bring up Twilight. How long do you want to live? Would you live forever without your loved ones? Should we be trying to raise the life expectancy of the entire world before extending the lives of a handful of people?

In this episode, we're talking about the climate. Many Australians living in rural areas or mining towns vote against climate change when an election rolls around, and there's a good reason for that: their future is uncertain. Today we're talking about how climate action affects people living rurally, and discuss the idea of a 'just transition' to renewable energy and what it would look like.

In this episode, we talk about the ethics of incentivising getting a vaccine. In the US, both private companies and governments are hosting giveaways for people who get the COVID vaccine. But is it ethical? What's the difference between a free beer with a shot and entering a vaccine lottery for a million bucks? Should we mandate getting the COVID jab? Is incentivising a positive action the same as punishing a negative one?

In this episode, we're joined by member for Maiwar, Michael Berkman. Michael talks about climate action and the Green's vision for a just transition into retirement or other industries for people working on coal-fired stations, youth justice Bill amdenments, and the role of the Greens party in a majority Labor Government.

In this episode, Kristin is joined by Sophie, one of our Cheek contributors, to talk about the ongoing situation between Israel and Palestine. Should everyone have an opinion? Is it just a land rights issue? How do we know what's actually going on? Should the US have stepped in?

In this episode, we're joined by one of our newest contributors, Emily Coogan. We talk about why you shouldn't just vote the same way as your parents, the oxymoron that is 'socially progressive, but fiscally conservative', the economy as a brand, and high school captain elections.

We talk about housing, renters rights, the ethics of owning an investment property, and the diversity problem facing politics, which is visible in Jonno's party, the Greens.

On the agenda is James Charles' latest controversy, the pic Khloe Kardashian didn't want anyone to see, and whether she has the right to request its deletion, paparazzi ethics, and the very important difference between Emma Wiggle and Kristen Stewart.

In this episode, we talk about everyone's favourite ex-Australian to hate, Rupert Murdoch. We cover his life, his kids, his refusal to retire, and his collosal impact on the media landscape. Did Murdoch have a part to play in the election of Trump? Do we feel bad that one of his ex-wives allegedly pushed him over? Why does he fall down so much?

In this early release episode, we talk about International Women's Day, and what it means this year. In 2021, IWD has been coloured by the allegations of sexual assault coming from Canberra and resulting conversations. We don't know what's next. We're at a loss. But we know the only thing to do is stay engaged and enraged.

In this episode, we talk about Stan's original series Bump. Bump is authentically Australian, and focusses on high-achieving Oly, a 16 year old who has a suprise baby and chronicles her growing relationship with said baby.
