This week on SpinCycle, Claire and Gab get candid about the news, culture, and corporate dramas spinning around us:
Kiss Cam Chaos: Astronomer’s PR Masterclass How a viral Coldplay concert moment became a career-ender—and somehow a marketing win. We unpack the CEO scandal, Gwyneth Paltrow’s cheeky cameo, and why Astronomer’s crisis response could end up in a business textbook (plus, the Peloton playbook and Ryan Reynolds’ surprise role).
Millennials Take Charge: How Are We Leading Now? For the first time, Millennials are the largest cohort of managers globally. Claire and Gab dig into how millennial management styles are changing the workplace, balancing empathy with accountability, and navigating the messy middle between Gen Z and Boomers. From AI disruption to hybrid work, are we building better workplaces—or just people-pleasing with more emojis?
Songs of a Generation: Triple J, Dad Playlists & The Science of Nostalgia Do certain songs define a whole generation? We break down the Triple J Hottest 100 “songs of all time,” why Untouched by The Veronicas and INXS’ Never Tear Us Apart made the list, and how musicologists decode the anthems that truly last. Plus, Gen Z vs Gen X picks and why Mr. Brightside will never die.
Trump v Murdoch: When Media BFFs Break Up Donald Trump is now suing Fox News (and the Wall Street Journal) for billions over negative coverage—turning on the very network that helped build his MAGA brand. We break down the lawsuit, the power games behind the headlines, and why Rupert Murdoch (aged 94!) says he “will not be intimidated.” Is this just Trump’s next play for media attention—or the end of an era for conservative news?
