This year has seen Bridge indulge in some pretty dangerous online shopping habits and following the news that Australians buy more clothes per person than any other country, it's time for an intervention. Jumping on the pod this week to help unpack Bridge's shopping addiction is the wonderful Maggie Zhou - fellow writer and podcaster, and slow fashion advocate. Hear how Maggie started to embrace more sustainable fashion habits, what we can do to survive the age of doom spending, her top thrifting tips, Fashion Week tea, how she feels about unboxings/hauls, whether or not there is such thing as dressing for your age and more!

Joining Bridge this episode is one of the most prolific names in Australian politics, Georgie Purcell from the Animal Justice Party! On the cusp of turning 32, Georgie is the youngest woman in Victorian Parliament and undoubtedly one of the most authentic and refreshing figures we have seen in Australian politics, ever. In this candid conversation, Georgie opens up about her rise in politics as well as her personal life, sharing relationship details that she's never publicly revealed before. She also discusses her experience with two abortions and her journey in reconciling maternal desires, the significance of expressing herself through fashion in parliament, and how she navigates the challenge of separating her private life from such a scrutinized profession. This chat is definitely one for the books!
