The Music Video That Divided The Internet

Subscribe to Mamamia

On today's show, we're unpacking the contradictions and coded bigotry surrounding the outrage over Sam Smith's new music video.

Plus, a corner of the internet is calling for the cancellation of gym mirrors. Do we care more about how we look when we exercise, than the actual exercise itself?

And our best and worst of the week ranging from teenagers to deadlines to scary swims.

The End Bits:

• Listen to our last episode: Jessie's Been Doing 'Schema Therapy'
• Get tickets for The Living With Teens Summit

RECOMMENDATIONS: Holly wants you to start a veggie garden.
