Shane Jenek, who you might know better as Courtney Act, is one of Australia’s most famous drag queens, a global icon, and an absolute legend.

In this episode, we explored some deeply personal and thought-provoking topics, including gender fluidity and sexual fluidity. This conversation was recorded in 2014, in my apartment in Venice Beach California. Shane’s insights into identity and self-expression are as relevant today as they were then.

It seems like everywhere you turn these days, a gambling ad is popping up encouraging us to have a punt. But behind the bright ads and loud voiceovers, Australians are losing more than $30 million in legal gambling. According to this week's guest Kate Seselja, problem gambling is a public health crisis hiding in plain sight. And she should know - she spent more than a decade addicted to gambling, losing more than $500,000 along the way.

Kate is now an advocate for gambling reform, and this week breaks down the shame she felt over her addiction, the tricks that the industry plays to hook you in and keep you playing, her proposed reforms and how you can get involved.
