On episode 293 Nick, Lottie and Hayden discuss their favourite sketches from I Think You Should Leave, series 3 (Netflix). The sketches that we cover are: purple feather, doggie door and banana breath.

We also cover the politics of series 3 (building on our discussions on the politics of series 1 and 2), our ITYSL emoji game and Nick’s reviews for the swayzine store on Etsy. For more ITYSL series 3 interviews and commentary, make sure you check out our friends over at That’s A Chunky, a podcast about I Think You Should Leave!

We hope you enjoy the show. It was such a good time for us that we’re going to do shirts for this episode – a fun shirt that we design that says “Learn Respect, I Think You Should Leave Class of 2023” and underneath it says: “Back away, banana breath”. Does anyone want a t-shirt? You can always get it big and use it as a night shirt. Please let us know how big your body is.

Intro music: Embrace by ItsWatR.

Outro music: The Blackest Bouquet by Leonell Cassio.

We discuss no longer being car-free but still believing cars are the number one enemy, individual and structural actions for sustainable transport and food systems, and visible versus invisible disabilities. In discussing how effective different actions are in tackling climate change, we refer to the article The climate mitigation gap: education and government recommendations miss the most effective individual actions by Seth Wynes and Kimberly Nicholas.

We also do some taste testing of vegan products from the Vegan Grocery Store, featuring: Future Farm Plant-Based Tuna, Chuckie Creme Egg and Hands Off My Chocolate Bites – Candy Choc Crispy. This vegan tasting segment is NOT a paid advertisement or sponsored segment or anything like that, it’s just something we felt like doing!

The speakers you hear from include: Gary Foley (a Gumbainggir man), Robbie Thorpe (from the Krautungalung people of the Gunnai Nation), Meriki Onus (Gunai and Gunditjmara woman) and Lydia Thorpe (DjabWurrung Gunnai Gunditjmara woman).
