lollies

It’s a treat for the eyeballs this week, as Zan gets a preview of the new Indiana Jones film. You’ll hear her take, and what Phoebe Waller-Bridge does for the franchise. The trailer for Sophia Coppola’s “Priscilla” movie just dropped too, and we are ready, Taft in hand.

An Australian lolly is about to be discontinued, and Myf has some hot takes on the chewy classic, and with the Sussex’s Spotify deal coming to an end, we wonder if the ex-Royals will ever be able to move forward if people only ever want them to look back?

Huge week for farshun too, and by huge I mean tiny. A microscopic Louis Vuitton bag is something we can all wear, while the same fashion house has debuted Pharrell William’s menswear collection at Paris Fashion Week and we’re here for it.

And we’re banging on about a therapeutic podcast and a brilliant book.

Bang Back to us: bangon.podcast@abc.net.au

Bang On is an ABC podcast, produced by Double J. It is recorded on the lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation. We pay our respects to elders past and present. We acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Australians and Traditional Custodians of the land where we live, work, and learn.

With a desire to start his own business and take control of his destiny, Daniel set off to the USA and UK for a jam-packed weekend to discover the innovative ideas in these countries. Fired up by inspiration, he wasted no time bringing his vision to life and within a month Daniel said goodbye to his corporate job and began crafting Funday Sweets, a company focusing on delicious low sugar confectionery.

In this episode, we sit down with Daniel Kitay, the Founder of Funday Sweets and chat about the humble beginnings of testing formulas in his kitchen to sealing deals left and right with major businesses like The Chemist Warehouse, Woolworths and Amazon within two years of launching. Tune in to hear how Daniel was able to draw on his past work experience and unwavering dedication to create a confectionary company that filled the gap in the market.

Lollies are a colourful and magical and very sweet part of many children’s lives. But can you say no when faced with a bowl of jelly beans or sour worms or other types of candy? With so much concern nowadays about the amount of sugar in our diets, this show looks at self control and what we should do if people don’t have any.
