Today's conversation was so juicy we had to split it into two parts! This chat is raw, open and extremely honest. Fashion icon and disability advocate Carmen Azzopardi - also known as, “Zigs_mom” on the internet talks about what it was like to be diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in her 20s, her struggles with self harm as a teen, how she hustled her way into the fashion industry, finding the right “...

Today we dive deep into grief with our resident psychologist Chris Cheers. We are no strangers to grief, if you have experienced loss on any level you have most likely found yourself in the throws of grief against your will. Although universal, it can be very challenging. Especially if we don’t have the tools to work through it. Kath shares their recent experience with death of a loved one and ask...

There is a lot of conversation about safe spaces… What they mean, why they are important and how they are created. Today we further dive into this with someone who spends a lot of their livelihood doing just that.  Welcoming club kid and curator Rio Bayani to the pod. Co creator of Le Bunker, a Paris based events group that prioritises creating nights for Queer POC. This conversation is a further...

Between phone sex, the AFL and bi-curious lesbians. This episode has it all. Kath sits down with one of their closest friends Sandy to chat about sexuality and its fluidity. Why labels are important but they don’t define us and why they both found the more comfortable in their sexuality they were, the more curious about their possible desires they became. Show resources:  Find Sandy  Instagram: @s...

Todays episode is a little more of a mellow pace as we reflect on Mardi Gras season 2024, with the tragic passing of Jesse Baird and Luke Davies at the hands of a cop one week out from the parade. What does this mean for our discussion surrounding Police presence at Pride? And what does it mean to truely create safe spaces for queer people?  Does pride belong to us anymore or has it truely lost it...

Today Kath sits down with their two new pals Pat Clifton & Will Gibbs to see if they pass the friendship test with these exclusive 5 first date questions. Will Kath be able to look past their manliness and lean into new found love? All will be revealed!  There’s also some Taylor swift, RuPaul's drag race and vanilla kink chat...

Pop the non-alcoholic wine and sit down with Kath and one of their “mainies” Cartia Mallan for a cluster fu*k of an afternoon brain dump!  You know when you meet up with your gal pal to chat about something specific and then before you know it your knee deep in conspiracy theories and you don’t even remember what you were there to talk about in the first place? Neither… Between physics, Delta Good...

We are back with part two of Heartbreak club 10001!! Today we are answering listener questions about love, dating and… you guessed it, heartbreak! Breakups are such a collective experience but it never makes it any easier. Kath sits down to continue the conversation about what they have learnt from personal experiences in love and grief. Again, sending a little (or HUGE) warm hug to anyone who is...

Welcome to heartbreak club part 10001…I can’t keep track anymore and honestly I don’t want to think what that says about my dating life. BUT, one thing I do know is no matter your circumstances heartbreak SUCKS. This isn’t my first rodeo and if it's yours I’m sure you’re dying to know, “but does it get easier?” Sorta! The pain remains but I feel like you learn how to navigate the nastiness of a br...

Get your “love is love” tees washed because it's Mardi gras season baby!  Ok don’t get us twisted, we think Mardi Gra is SLAY, but sometimes it can be a little morally tricky for the queers as they navigate "Getting that bag" whilst having our experiences capitalised for financial gain. Usually for not a lot in return. Look, there is nothing wrong (in fact a lot right) with big corporations puttin...

Welcome back to another season of this silly lil pod!  Have/if you've ever spent the new year telling yourself you’re going to “get healthier” ... which in turn means, torturing yourself as long as possible trying every type of cleanse and restrictive regime under the sun until you lose your marbles and go back to hating yourself because you couldn’t live up to the lifestyle of every wellness infl...

Today's conversation is about the ones we have with ourselves. The doubt, comparison and self consciousness. This season has been a lot of getting vulnerable with other people, so Kath thought it would only be fair to get a little vulnerable with you all. They dive into what has been going on for them the past few months and have a candid chat about what they are doing to help them-self during the...

Today's conversation we are talking about sex. The big bad taboo word that we are working on rebranding after a long history of hiding her under the bed, we are getting her out and discussing all those questions you ask your girlfriends over a few drinks. Wondering what is normal and what isn’t because well, it's probably all very normal!  This chat would only make sense to have with Alexs Trkulja...

Today's conversation is light but has depth and hopefully makes you feel a little less alone in the world. According to recent data 1 in 5 people will experience anxiety or depression throughout their life. A lot of the time struggles with mental health can come with a lot of shame and isolation. Let's change that. We are going to have a conversation about mental health, diagnosis, tik tok therapy...

Todays conversation is a soft one. With 77% of adults consuming Alcohol weekly it has become so normalised in our society many of us don’t even know why we drink, we just do.  For many, drinking begins in adolescence as a means to assert your independence and cool factor to other peers. As an adult alcohol is a way to socialise with other adults. A lot of drinking culture is centred around connect...

Todays conversation is a silly one, because silly conversations are just as important as the hard ones! Getting serious about the silly things is what makes the harder stuff easier to digest.  Kath is Joined for a Friday knockoff drink gossip session by stylist, creative director and Gemini, Poppy Zanderigo - aka Ppusspuss on the internet.
