Fill your cup with our annual reccos from the Bang Fam. Yep, the answering machine is choccas and we're ready to dive into some of the best stuff you've been reading, looking at, and listening to.

Plus we check in with some beloved members of the Bang Fam for a catch up. You'll hear from the saltiest Bang Fammer Jennine, as well as James who banged back in a van the last time we spoke (and went on to find true love). And we'll check in with wonderful Suzie in London, seizing life for everything it's got.

We'll wrap the week that was too, and maybe get a bit emo from some of the messages you've sent. One more episode to go after this one, before we Bang Off for a bit. Join us for a fun one in your feed next week, and one last Bang On Live in Ballarat that Saturday. It's gonna be one for the ages.
