Summary
How far would you go to win? Australian athlete Joanna Wietryzk kept competing despite soiling herself during a HYROX event ... and she went on to win. Some respect the hustle, some are furious. And, all of Ed Sheeran's support acts (including his backing band) have ditched his tour in solidarity with Macklemore, who was dropped for voicing his support of Palestine on stage. Is music inherently political, or should the two be separate? Plus, was Sydney Sweeney's sexualised gambling ad damaging to women's sport? Host Luke Siddham Dundon is joined by Amy Kimball Tassell, executive producer of It's A Lot with Abbie Chatfield and comedian Fergus Neal.
