Are You Ready to Fix Your Feed? With Chanel Contos

September 9, 2026 · 34 min

Show notes

Our friend Chanel Contos is on the podcast, and she’s casually changing Australia again!

Chanel is the activist behind Teach Us Consent, the campaign that helped change consent education in Australian schools. Now, she’s coming for our algorithms with Fix Our Feeds - which, huge news, just got the green light from the Australian Government this week.

We recorded this chat before that happened, on the eve of Chanel’s National Press Club address. We talk about what it was actually like becoming the face of the consent movement. Then of course, we discuss how algorithms have impacted dating in 2026.
