TO READ BRINGING THE FIGHT

An engaging, lively, provocativ­e and, above all, inspiring memoir from one of our home-grown, unsung feminist heroes, Merle Thornton, who has lived a life full of daring, defiance and activism. Thornton is one of Australia’s most delightful, formidable and game-changing pioneering feminists – a woman who through her daring and defiance helped bring about positive change for generation­s of Australian women.

TO WATCH THANK GOD FOR NOSTALGIA

Remember when baby face Ed Kavalee was first on our screens in Ten’s Thank God You’re Here, well here’s your chance to revisit. Hamish Blake, Josh Lawson and Angus Sampson get their start as they walk through the blue door alongside other comedic legends such as Shaun Micallef, Fifi Box, Peter Rowsthorn and Glenn Robbins. Shane Bourne hosts as Tom Gleisner decides on a winner. Series 1 will stream free on 10Play from Monday. Series 2 will drop June 22, Series 3 June 29 and Series 4 will drop July 6.

TO SING MOVE – BAKER BOY

The Fresh Prince of Arnhem Land is one of the most explosive talents to emerge on Australia’s alternativ­e airwaves in the past three years. His latest single in both his Yolgnu Matha language and English is a smooth slice of soul-flecked rap singing, which pays tribute to his partner and the strong women in his life.

TO CONNECT POWDERFING­ER

It’s been a few weeks since the mighty Powderfing­er reunited for our shutdown listening pleasure. If you missed it, or need a pick-me-up to get through the end of the week, head to their YouTube channel and relive the glorious 39 minutes of One Night Lonely. It really was one of the concerts of the year.
