Hi! On today’s show, Netflix just dropped a three-part documentary about one of the most successful reality TV shows of our time: The Biggest Loser.

Hiya! On today’s show, it feels like an age-old question these days, but we’re still asking it: do famous men face any professional consequences when they’re accused of abuse? From Zach Bryan to Brad Pitt to Johnny Depp to Chris Brown, has the world been suffering from some kind of collective amnesia about how these men have allegedly treated the women in their lives…??

Hello!  On today’s show, one of the biggest news stories of the year happened last week when Taylor Swift purchased her master recordings. This story drowned out almost everything in its wake, so you might’ve missed Scooter Braun’s two-hour interview with Diary of a CEO which also dropped last week.

Hello! On today’s show: After weeks of internet murmurs, Kobe Bryant’s widow Vanessa Bryant has clarified that she is, in fact, not pregnant. The vitriol thrown her way over this rumour got us thinking about what it’s like for women to grieve in public.

Hi hi! Today on the show! Former NRL player (and former Bachelor) Luke Bateman has inked a two-book deal with a major publishing house, and it’s ruffled some feathers over on BookTok. What is it about this deal that’s got people so mad? Is this a byproduct of a suffering publishing industry, or is the whole thing being blown out of proportion? Big thanks to Woolworths for making this episode of Sh...
