  • When Your Ex Turns Your Relationship Into Stand-Up Comedy

    When Your Ex Turns Your Relationship Into Stand-Up Comedy
    Jul 4 2025
    In this bonus episode, I put your juiciest dating dilemmas to podcasting legends James and Jamie - and, unsurprisingly, things get very real, very fast. We talk about being “too much” on a first date (spoiler: I might be Gemma), whether asking about bum stuff too early is a vibe killer, and the dangers of transactional dating apps. We also dive into something deeply awkward – when your ex turns your relationship into stand-up material. Is it catharsis or just plain rude? Oh, and Jamie once dated a magician… which ends exactly how you’d expect. It’s funny, unfiltered, and surprisingly heartfelt. Basically, it’s a conversation about being yourself – even when that self might be shouting inappropriate questions over a half pint. WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU Got a question or a story to share?

  • Podcasting, Romance, and Raw Honesty: A Conversation with Creators Who Redefined the Rules

    Podcasting, Romance, and Raw Honesty: A Conversation with Creators Who Redefined the Rules
    Jun 30 2025
    I’m joined by actual podcasting royalty: James and Jamie, the genius minds behind My Dad Wrote A Porno. We talk about their wild creative journey - from discovering Jamie’s dad’s erotic novel (yes, really) to amassing over half a billion downloads and selling out the Royal Albert Hall. Now, they’ve turned another jaw-dropping true story - a woman getting stuck in a window after a toilet mishap on a first date - into a rom-com musical. We dive deep into how they turned viral embarrassment into theatrical gold, what it’s like to collaborate creatively for 20 years, and why being “authentic” matters more than ever in this era of social media polish. We also chat love, dealbreakers, the madness of modern dating, and why musicals (and laughter) might just be the best form of therapy. This one is pure joy.

  • From Body Shame to Self-Love: Megan Crabbe on Her Journey to Self-Acceptance

    From Body Shame to Self-Love: Megan Crabbe on Her Journey to Self-Acceptance
    Jun 23 2025
    How do you stop making yourself small in a world that keeps telling you to shrink? If you’ve ever wished for the confidence to just show up in the world as your fullest self, then you need to meet Megan Jayne Crabbe. You might know her as Body Posi Panda, the Instagram force of nature whose honest posts on body acceptance, eating disorder recovery and radical joy have helped millions find a bit of peace in their own skin. On the journey to self acceptance, Megan has been to some very dark places; including hospitalisation at 14 for an eating disorder before finding her way back—and she’s painfully honest about just how tough that journey remains. We’re talking the insidious grip of diet culture, untangling ourselves from the “pretty tax,” sex, wanking, dating and what it really means to stop apologising for who you are. Expect candour, wisdom, a few laughs and the realisation that being “your biggest self” is not about fixing yourself, but questioning what (and who) made you play small in the first place. Megan’s new book, We Don’t Make Ourselves Smaller Here, is out now. WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU Got a question or a story to share?

  • Delta Goodrem: “Losing My Voice Was the Moment Everything Was Washed Away Off the Bone”

    Delta Goodrem: “Losing My Voice Was the Moment Everything Was Washed Away Off the Bone”
    Jun 9 2025
    MY GUEST THIS WEEK: DELTA GOODREM This week, I’m joined by singer, songwriter, and Australian icon Delta Goodrem—whose career began in her teens, soared with chart-topping hits, and then took a shocking turn. Diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma at just 18, Delta was forced to step away from the spotlight just as her music was going global. We talk about what it’s like to lose your voice—literally. In her thirties, Delta underwent surgery that left her unable to speak, let alone sing, forcing her to re-learn how to communicate. We talk about the strength it takes to survive something like that not once, but twice—and how both of those moments reshaped her sense of self. She tells me about the viral Beyoncé concert clip that turned her into a meme—and why it ended up being one of the most liberating moments of her life. LET’S STAY IN TOUCH 🗣 Got something to share?
