Grab Her By The Mic

This week on Grab Her By The Mic, we're exploring what happens when people with absolutely no business losing their shit decide to do exactly that. We're talking celebrity beef, from Naomi Campbell weaponising a mobile phone to Cardi B throwing designer footwear, and the very relatable experience of holding a grudge long after the other person has forgotten you exist. In the Weekly Spiral...

This week, Grab Her By The Mic has left the studio and relocated to a bed at the beautiful Ardour Lilianfels in the Blue Mountains, where the microphones, cameras and lighting equipment have made our hotel room look considerably more like the set of a low-budget porno than a podcast. We recap a girls’ weekend involving massages, crosswords, room service, and a couple of emergency calls home before...

Have celebrities become too accessible? This week, Han and Philsy investigate what happened between the era of untouchable celebrities... and whatever we’re doing now, where we know an influencer’s coffee order, boyfriend history, dog’s name and family drama before breakfast. The HyperFix takes us through the evolution of celebrity culture, reality TV, influencers, parasocial relationships and the...

Apparently, using Find My Friends to locate your heavily intoxicated, unreachable husband face-down under a tree now makes you an abuser. At least, according to TikTok. This week, we revisit the Episode 33 clip that somehow escaped containment, racked up hundreds of thousands of views and led the internet to diagnose Philsy with coercive control, while simultaneously calling her husband a red flag...

We all yelled FREE BRITNEY. So… what happens when freedom still doesn’t look okay? This week, Han and Philsy fall headfirst into the Britney Spears internet rabbit hole: the dancing videos, the conspiracy theories, the concern, the rubbernecking and the uncomfortable question of whether we’re actually any better than the tabloids we love to hate. But before that, naturally, there’s an academic con...

This week on Grab Her By The Mic , Han takes us through the birthday dinner that started it all, a $2,000 degustation at Three Blue Ducks Burradoo that somehow left the table hungrier than when they arrived, headlined by a single eighth of an unpickled radish presented like a $500 oyster. There's a warm welcome that tasted vaguely off, a dessert that Philsy insists Han said smelled like Ambi P...

Philsy's back from a five day influenza A knockout, and she brought news with her, she's pregnant, due New Year's Day, and yes the podcast is still happening through the birth because apparently pregnancy isn't a valid excuse to miss a recording. Meanwhile Han spent the week turning her house into an actual maximum security facility after Mabel let herself out the front door mid-me...

Philsy's been flattened by whatever's going around and recording felt less like a podcast and more like a hostage situation, so we've pulled the pin this week. Han popped in solo with a quick voice note to let you know we haven't disappeared - just regrouping, recovering, and saving all the chaos for next Tuesday. No Weekly Spiral, no Hyperfix, no Chaos Correctional this week - jus...

This week Han and Philsy are back in studio and diving straight into Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding, the guest list, the NDA with zero financial penalty, and the reported buffet chaos in a venue that seats nearly 20,000 people. Plus the full circle Tim McGraw detail that might actually be true. Before that, Recap & Rosé covers a chaotic Brisbane trip involving an unused tampon, a...

A duck pecked the President of Mexico, got a Netflix meeting, and was personally rejected by FIFA - all in the same fortnight. That's this week's spiral, and it's not even the weirdest story. Han is recording from her parents' house where the school holidays are in full swing, the hormones have staged at least one coup, and a child has been caught stroking a face with a ripped-off toenail during H...

Han found her dream career change this week: not Head of People, not podcaster - bear. A Chinese zoo is hiring humans to wear bear costumes and over 100 people already applied. This week on Grab Her By The Mic , a zoo in China is openly hiring humans to dress as black bears - six hour shifts, purring only, no ventilation in the costume. Canada has given trees legal rights, prompting the internet t...

The CIA spent $20 million surgically wiring a cat for espionage. It got hit by a taxi on its first mission. That's just one of the true stories in this episode - plus Han's deep dive into Taylor Swift's Easter eggs. This week on Grab Her By The Mic , Han goes fully forensic on Taylor Swift's Easter eggs for The HyperFix , and honestly, we're not okay. It started with the Toy St...

A friend got pulled over after school drop-off and tested positive for meth. It was her ADHD medication. Han has questions. This week on Grab Her By The Mic opened with a phone call. A friend - we're calling her Poppy - got pulled over after school drop-off on a Wednesday morning, tested positive for meth, and it was the Vyvanse. Han, who is on two and a half times the dose, had several feelin...

This week on Grab Her By The Mic , Han survived five birthdays in one weekend, a junior disco at an illegal decibel level, a pinata wielded like a weapon by a four-year-old, while Philsy survived a Hello Fresh salesman who stood at her door for 40 minutes in the cold while the curry went cold inside. She was late because of it. Standard. This week's Weekly Spiral accidentally became National G...

It's episode 25 of Grab Her By The Mic - a quarter of a century (kind of) of being completely unqualified in your ears - and this one has everything. We kick off Recap & Rosé in full Flubber energy (cold sores, dirty hair, a botched haircut, and a son who said "ha ha sucker" at the preschool gate), before spiralling into three Weekly Spiral stories that cover a French teenager wh...

This week on Grab Her By The Mic , Han reports that her four-year-old has declared war on her personally, Philsy has a possum update that nobody asked for but everyone needed, and together they spiral through three news stories that are somehow all equally unhinged. Australian Fashion Week had a fire alarm, a woman being dragged across the runway by her ankles, and Ian Thorpe sitting front row loo...

This week on Grab Her By The Mic , a friend told Han that a local high school installed a litter box for students who identify as cats. Han lost her mind about it for a week, went down a rabbit hole, and came back with something way more sinister than a rumour about cats Philsy went full correspondent mode on the 2026 Met Gala - best dressed (Kris Jenner and Cara Delevingne), worst dressed (Heidi...

Episode 22 of Grab Her By The Mic opens with a debrief that goes places. Han's husband planned a date night and she immediately suspected she was being broken up with. Philsy went to the Hunter Valley, drank a lot of wine, and returned a self-declared expert. One of them relaxed into a genuinely slow weekend. The other one is still processing it. Classic. The Weekly Spiral covers the three sto...

This week on Grab Her By The Mic , we're spiralling through the headlines, hyperfixating on what's actually going on in Australia right now, and playing a game that Madonna definitely inspired. In our brand new segment, the Weekly Spiral , we unpack Kim K and Lewis Hamilton's beach snog, Madonna rising from under the Coachella stage in a twenty-year-old corset (that someone then lost o...

This week on Grab Her By The Mic , Philsy is fresh from Byron with a tan, a gland infection and a bag of antibiotics that have wrecked her gut. Han spent the second week of school holidays selectively pretending she didn't have children, then got sinus-infected mid-Sudafed-license-handover and survived to tell the tale.  Han's hyper fix dives headfirst into "slow motherhood" - we...

This week on Grab Her By The Mic , Han deep dives into the meaning of dreams after crying at an Easter girls' lunch because of a dream she had about Philsy quitting the podcast. Yes, really. Spoiler: Philsy isn't going anywhere. The dream was fake. The emotional damage was very real. Philsy weighs in from a Byron Bay holiday, reports that she has purchased parachute pants and toe-cleavage...

This week on Grab Her By The Mic , we started with a wholesome morning walk up a mountain. We looked out over a beautiful view, breathed in the fresh air, and immediately started workshopping the logistics of disposing of a body. It escalated. From there we somehow made it to Recap & Rosé - a French rosé that scored 91/100 and is described as "a beautifully subtle honeysuckle pink colour....

This week on Grab Her By The Mic , Han spirals into a full nervous system meltdown , complete with fringe-cutting, sleep deprivation, and a GP intervention that was less “gentle advice” and more “girl, stop before you accidentally unlock psychosis.” We unpack what stress actually does to your body, why millennials are apparently incapable of resting without guilt, and the deeply offensive reality...

This week on Grab Her By The Mic , we hand over the mic for our very first proper Her Mic Moment and honestly, we started with a good one. We’re joined by Dani from Walking Your Path , a Southern Highlands small business owner, nursing student, mum of three, and crystal woman of the people. Before we get there, Recap & Rosé delivers exactly what you’d expect from us: a neighbour’s car spontane...

This week on Grab Her By The Mic we unpack women in comedy and the subtle double standards that make the room feel different when a female comedian grabs the mic. From a Newcastle comedy night to Aussie mateship culture and workplace code-switching, we dive into why confidence and explicit humour land differently depending on who’s delivering the punchline. We also spiral into low-tox living (one...
