This week we're talking to Abbie Chatfield, the most iconic human to come out of the 'The Bachelor' Australia universe, who single-handedly took on the series' weird, conservative attitude toward sex and (as far we see it) won. We talk to Abbie about dating post-reality TV; the mental health tolls constant internet abuse takes on a person; the way reality TV sanctifies insecure women; the 'wifey'...

This episode we’re chatting to the inimitable Sophia Roe. Sophia is a chef and wellness advocate whose entire career is built on the basis that food is inherently political.

Hi everyone and welcome back to That Time of the Month. This is our last episode in our three-part series, so we wanted to get down to the nitty-gritty and speak about everything from period sex to the shame surrounding STIs (when they’re so common that 1 in 2 people under the age of 25 who are sexually active would’ve had one), to vagina shame and vulva disparity. 75 per cent of women think that...

Plus, why - when we know so many people watch porn, do we so rare...

Hello everybody and welcome to the new world order. We recorded this episode the morning after Donald Trump lost the election, and a have a good long chat about politics fatigue, why it's worth celebrating the end of the Trump era, even if you don't like Biden, and why we need to stop calling Trump's 70 million supporters 'stupid'.
