Report Back Podcast

Hi friends! Welcome back to another instalment of Tom and Zoë doing some reporting on all things celebrations! Strap in for out first guest/not guest @jesswildthing for her 1 line debut! We've also had pancakes on the brain and Zoë gets flowers from a man who isn't Tom. Importantly, we'll be introducing the " Shania Shower". We've also got reports on: Partying in your 90s Housing complex gathering...

Huzzah! The much anticipated sequel to our episode on love (And loss) is here for your ears! In it, we will treat you to a dramatic reading of some love letters once sent to Z, compare the advice men and women are given when it comes to dealing with heartbreak, consider the benefits of the 'dead to me' approach and argue over wether or not we should be using BODMAS when it comes to calculating the...

We accidentally banged on for three hours so after some HECTIC editing, we've still had to cut this in two. Tom can't tell if a date is going well or if the other party is just too polite to leave. Zoë does a stock take of past relationships and somehow draws a distinction between boyfriends and relationships. Both reflect on the weird early 20s denial you do when you're stuck in a dead end situat...

Just when you thought maybe we'd thrown in the towel, we're back! The title of this episode makes it sound like the kind of juicy that could get us fired but we promise it's not THAT kind of tea. In this ep, Zoë reflects on how you know when it's time to go (from a job), and Tom once again wonders if he is a psychopath. Did Zoë make the right call jumping ship? Is Tom the friendly sociopath next d...

Welcome back to the show for Season 2 of Report Back! In a fun/not fun plot twist, the first episode of the new season is the season finalé of the last season. Join us while we unpack how this happened due to the universe being a spiteful beast; feining/not feigning anger about the patriarchy; and mid-high life meltdowns. We're back and ready to rumble! Thanks for the support, love and vibes while...

We're back to old habits hitting up raunchy theatrical shows on random weekdays. In this episode, everything is queer and nothing is sacred. Glue on your best lashes and dig out your highest heels for a review of the at once most poignant, filthy and fabulous cabaret we've seen yet. Full credits to Reuben Kaye for an indescribably good show.

It's a perilous start to the recording session that prompts some fond stench-related memories. Then, Tom has secrets from his mum and a psychic has SHOCKING revelations for Zoë about her romantic life (and her nan's life expectancy). They both enter the alternate universe of the boho-luxe-vegan-psychic fair, where there are insta-van-life-vans and floor cushions as far as the (third) eye can see....

Join us in Zoë's dining room where the soda stream has its maiden spritz and the dogs don't interrupt us for once! In this latest report, Zoë goes environmental speed dating and Tom goes regular-online dating but only one of them comes out with a brand new beau. Who will it be? And what is the secret to their first date success?

Follow us on Instagram 📷 @report_back Hi friends! Join us in Zoë's dining room with her noisy fish tank while we discuss grandparents falling into drop toilets, Tom misses a vampire show that was apparently lacking in vampires, Zoë's has ideas about terrible birthday parties, and we both agree a family g-string is an inappropriate purchase. Special shout-out to Rhiannon B <3

Join us for a magnificent afternoon party at Zoë's while we celebrate another lap around the sun for her! Today we are reporting on bogan food/things; Zoë has a party thrown for her and it was a raging success in the shape of an 8 hour afternoon tea; we explore a new aspect of our adulthood involving sharing your MRI scans with each other at an event; Tom is on the apps by accident.

This episode we flounder about trying to make sense of the live action Little Mermaid remake. Do fictional fish people have race? Are comical crustaceans what all other films are missing? Is after a shower the best time to send a seductive photo? Should we bring back lost sad men in cheesecloth shirts?

Hello gorgeous listeners! We're on and here to Report Back on Easter traditions and coming-of-age milestones; Endora being the literal best; cat Salem vs. hot Salem; getting rich by boycotting fitted sheets; checking last names before dating; and of course a wild escapade where Tom and Zoë have been cheating on each other.

Swan into Zoë's dining room while we play a little game to see how well Tom knows Zoë and what her niche green flags are... We also touch on some possible neurodivergent tendencies around auto-rehearsal and how it differs from déjà vu.

Welcome to Report Back where Zoë and Tom delve into the the depths of childhood haircuts; being double-booked; tribute concerts; cat-calling, comebacks, combat and just general unwanted advances; and we discover that we are both quick to utilise the block function.

Tune in for reports relating Tom and Zoë keeping secrets from each other; Tom's terrible and costly mistake on a night out; Zoë becomes a victim of crime; and we explore getting the shillies at netball and some possible gendered, social constructs that may have led to it.

Buckle up for a 50 minute review of our Valentine's Day activity; a trip to the movies to see Magic Mike 3! We noticed a disproportionate number of tall, square-jawed, ginger men as well as several in-film intellectual jokes that only we seemed to get. We had a thoroughly good time, so listen in if you have been on the fence about whether to go and clap your eyes on this provocative, cinematic mas...

We're back with a margarita each to report on what we've been up to in February! Everyday Rewards Points are getting another mention and we think that COVID might have unintentionally made the world more inclusive. Tom visits the National Gallery of Australia but took some sensible sensory precautions that had some unexpected side-effects and Zoë visits the National Museum with a friend who upset...

WELCOME fabulous listeners! Strap in for us to kick off this episode with some outrage about a favourite lunchbox snack, differing views on laundry habits, and our agreement about dishwasher life. Tom met some fans he has to apologise to. LilyT and Kyle bought a house (for Tom and Pocket maybe?). We've also got some things to cancel and some things to endorse and Zoë reports on a Valentine's Day t...

Welcome back to Zoë's dining room for our podcast! To be honest, we've had a bit on and we are reporting on how we are managing our time and commitments. It turns out that Year 8 was full of whack anecdotes, so strap in for another, where we learnt you need to choose kids over wombats. Cake etiquette is making a comeback and we explore the impacts of surprises after 67 years of marriage. We are de...

Happy 2023! We've wined and dined ourselves with Prosecco and toast to report back about the time-space continuum nonsense between Christmas and New Year as well as: a high school excursion to the tip, becoming a complainer or not; rescinded and reinstated invitations; massage etiquette; phrases we want to bin or bring in; banks, doors, and public holidays; and our thoughts on immersive, sensory v...
