The penultimate Thinkers' show deals with two pertinent topics that pervade modern society: urban legends & bumper stickers.

Ja. They know.
The Thinkers are so hard-hitting & current-affairy that they, too, wonder what's keeping CNN & BBC from making the call.

They suspect racism.

This week, with the commencement of the Melbourne Fashion Festival, The Thinkers discuss all things fashion --your biggest fashion faux pas, cringe-worthy clothes your parents made you wear & tragic trends (think wet-look leggings, neutering skinny jeans on guys, muscle t-shirts etc).

They also interrogate Tash's "new boyfriend" Richard, suspecting he bats for the other team. They test whether he differentiates Balenciaga from Bulgogi, D Squared from Square Root & Galliano from Galileo.

It doesn't end well.

In today's episode, The Thinkers are visited by Mystic Mary and Transcendental Tash, who offer complementary astrological readings to listeners.

The theme for the day is all things "cosmic" - they explore the paranormal, open their chakras & tune into the mystic realms that lie beyond everyday existence ... in a totally serious way, of course ...
