Rage on the Rocks

Send us Fan Mail Strap in, because we're taking on the topic we've been working ourselves up to...people pleasing.  Let's be real. We're not pleasing anyone. Additionally, you can't rage with a mouth full of yes! 

Send us Fan Mail Powerful men hurt or humiliate women, and somehow there’s always another tour, another contract, another “cheeky larrikin” rebrand waiting for them. This week on Rage on the Rocks, Sarah and Lauren run a second‑chance audit on the Boys’ club loyalty program – who gets the comebacks, who pays the price, and who keeps renewing their membership.  We start with Jimmy Fallon’s cosy Ton...

Send us Fan Mail Oh we have A LOT to get through today. We're kicking off with quick fire news, and honestly the news cycle has been WILD. We're talking about the SA abortion bill that just got voted down, Pauline Hanson rocking up to the National Press Club after three decades to call the gender pay gap "smoke and mirrors" (spoiler: it is absolutely not), and the absolutely ja...

Send us Fan Mail Today we’re doing something a little different: a rapid‑fire tour through the week in women’s news, fuelled by tarot pulls, gin and soda, and a healthy dose of feminist rage. This week: Barnaby’s latest abortion “hot take,” Bonnie Blue and her golden baby shower, the appalling treatment of women in politics (featuring yet another tired “ditch the witch” moment), and Epstein’s pers...

Send us Fan Mail Female friendship is the love story nobody really nails. This isn't the "queens supporting queens" version (as much as we love it), it's just the real one.  Adult friendships, the slow fades that can hurt worse than breakups, the friend you've outgrown but can't bring yourself to move away from. The group chat dynamics that are basically a full-time j...

Send us Fan Mail This week on Rage on the Rocks, Sarah and Lauren tackle nervous system regulation — yes, it's important, but has it become the latest wellness-speak for "fix yourself and stay pleasant"? We acknowledge the science is real and regulation matters, but we're calling out how it's been co-opted into another way to tell women their feelings are too much, their a...

Send us Fan Mail This week on Rage on the Rocks, we're doing something a little different — no deep dive, no documentary dissection, just pure, unfiltered catharsis. Sarah and Lauren count down their top 10 things that shit them, from the petty to the political. Expect plane etiquette violations, questionable cocktail service, corporate jargon that makes us want to flip tables, and some deepe...

Send us Fan Mail This week’s episode, “We Just Hire on Merit (And Other Fairytales)” , starts with the backlash to Lieutenant General Susan Coyle , the first woman ever appointed Chief of Army in Australia. With nearly 40 years’ service and multiple senior command roles, Coyle is objectively qualified – yet the moment her appointment was announced, social media filled with claims she only got the...

Send us Fan Mail Content warning: This episode discusses sexual assault, rape, child sexual exploitation and systemic abuse. Please take care while listening. In this episode of Rage on the Rocks , we’re looking straight at power – who has it, who’s protected, and who pays the price. We rage about how systems continue to shield men who abuse and exploit women: from the global “online rape academy”...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode Lauren and Sarah go down the rabbit hole of 'can we have it all'? From Cosmo to feminism, #girlboss and masculine energy, who decided what having it all means, and what would it mean to have enough?  Resources referred to in this ep if you want to go deeper: Books: Having It All: Love, Success, Sex, Money, Even If You're Starting With Nothing - Helen...

Send us Fan Mail Our witchy debrief on all the non‑conventional stuff women are drawn to – tarot, numerology, manifesting, crystals, natural remedies, moon rituals and more – and why we shouldn’t be shamed for it. We talk about how these practices help us find meaning, comfort, confidence and community in a world that’s heavy on evidence and light on actually listening to women, and we draw a clea...

Send us Fan Mail A lot of women spend decades feeling like their bodies are a full‑time job with no sick leave – from periods and pregnancy to perimenopause and beyond. In this episode of Rage on the Rocks, Sarah and Lauren rage about what it’s like to hold down careers, families and the general craziness of life while battling insomnia, hot flushes, brain fog and a medical system that still treat...

Send us Fan Mail Join us on this moody Friday night for a chat about Into the Manosphere, where we also manage to mangle some of their social media handles.  Bottoms up ladies, we're going in.

Send us Fan Mail From how we learn about respectful relationships (or not), red flags, MAFS, financial security, and recorders in pass the parcel...Sarah and Lauren feel the rage, and celebrate the glimmers of hope that get us all through.  So pour yourself your beverage of choice, and join us friends. We're mad, actually.  Special thanks to Mon and Bri at The Last Supper, a fabulous venue in...

Send us Fan Mail Pour yourself a strong drink (tea totally counts) - we love the world enough to be mad about it.  Settle in, and join Lauren and Sarah as we explore International Women's Day over a wine and some cheese from Woolies.  We're mad, actually. So come for the rage, leave with hope, and be part of this with us.  Lauren has a list.
