Wine Chats Podcast

In this episode, we dive into something both fascinating and deeply unsettling… the rise of AI in our everyday lives . While one of us is completely drawn to it, the other can’t stand it — and that tension drives this entire conversation. From people forming real emotional (and even romantic) relationships with AI, to the growing trust we’re placing in something we barely understand… we unpack whe...

In this episode of WineChats , we dive into one of the biggest questions in long-term relationships: how do you actually keep a marriage strong over time?

In our last recorded episode of the year - it's all about the fall of Selling Sunset! What used to be our favourite show EVER, it's not turned into a nasty, bitc*y show that's almost unwatchable! From cattiness to the lack of actually properties sold, this season was disappointing and we ask ourselves - is this really what people want to watch nowadays, or have they gone too far in the...

Gen Z call it raw dogging (why?!) — but really it’s just sitting still and letting your brain breathe for a minute. We rant, we agree it’s actually smart, and then we somehow end up in a mini-argument about who practices it more. Classic Billi and Lyndsey energy. Also: Cute Drinks made a guest appearance — not a sponsor, just delicious spicy marg-style sips. ----- Connect with Us: Follow us on Ins...

We share our thoughts as parents, discuss the different types of e-bikes, and ask the question: should any child be r...

This week, Billi and Lyndsey share their behind-the-scenes story of being panellists on The Debrief for Channel 7 News - and the unexpected twist when Lyndsey fumbled her words on live TV.
