We're joined by memelord and queer Indigenous activist Kira Djinalie. They run Beautiful, Talented & Deadly, and do queer + decolonial activism around polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Kira tells us about their memes, activism, and about a Spooky Halloween Trivia they're hosting (the name of which we can't type or we'll get in trouble with iTunes...)

Kira was a good guest. I hope you paid them at least a little donation. Did they get the interview questions in advance? You didn't seem to really know who you're talking to, and the unfocused questioning made it feel shallow because Kira would raise an interesting point (of their own volition and not really because of the questioning) and then the conversation moved on. If you communicated more in advance or focused the interview questions more, maybe you could've gone deeper into worthwhile topics and the guest's point of view/experiences. Kira's perspective felt under-utilised. It was hard sitting through the chit chat about memes at the start. In response to the positive review you said you don't do that much research. People engaging with Australian politics deserve high quality content and this podcast seems to prioritise quantity over quality. If you're both white men accepting donations for a low-effort podcast that you aren't bringing presentation or interviewing skills to, I hope you're compensating Indigenous Australian guests for their time.
