Your Frivolous Questions, Our Hot Takes.
01/07/2026 | 42 mins.
It's time for hot takes over tea.
How do you navigate personal relationships when your job is having opinions on the internet? Have we ever felt lost in our careers? How do we feel about getting married? And seriously, do Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos have therapists?
This week both Hannah and Sarah are answering YOUR hot takes and burning questions, from how we actually met to our most controversial opinions, our "hear me out" crushes, comfort movies, whether streaming killed cinema, and what you should do if you spot us out in the wild!! It's a proper catch-up, with plenty of oversharing, questionable takes and a few things you probably weren't expecting us to say. All while sipping on a Lipton Matcha!

Karl Stefanovic, Taylor Swift Wedding Rumours & Jack Schlossberg
30/06/2026 | 1h 9 mins.
It's been a BIG week and, honestly, one of our most interesting episodes yet.
We kick things off by breaking down why Karl Stefanovic was axed from Nine, his viral "I'm free" video, and what we think comes next.
Sarah then dives into Kylie Jenner's new partnership with Meta AI Glasses and whether the feminisation of tech is finally enough to make wearable AI cool. Hannah unpacks Australia's newest teal political party and what they're hoping to represent.
Then, we have the best time going through all the reports and rumours surrounding Taylor Swift's wedding. We also break down New York City's primary election, where Zohran Mamdani-backed candidates all won while JFK's grandson, Jack Schlossberg, lost.
Finally, in our Q&A, we answer a listener question on Australia's FIFA Women's World Cup campaign and where the tournament goes from here.

23/06/2026 | 31 mins.
Chelsea Manning has leaked hundreds of thousands of classified documents to WikiLeaks, including the infamous Collateral Murder video. The fallout is immediate: governments scramble, public trust is shaken, and Julian Assange becomes one of the most divisive figures in the world.
We unpack the leaks that changed everything, the 2016 U.S. election controversy, Assange's years inside the Ecuadorian embassy, and the legal battle that eventually brought him back to Australia.

BIG TALK: Julian Assange & WikiLeaks PART ONE
23/06/2026 | 30 mins.
Before WikiLeaks became one of the most controversial organisations in the world, Julian Assange was a teenage hacker from Australia with a fascination for secrecy.
In this episode, we trace Assange's journey from hacking NASA and the Pentagon to developing the philosophy that would eventually underpin WikiLeaks. We unpack the leaks that first put the organisation on the map, from government corruption in Kenya and Guantánamo Bay documents to Scientology secrets and Australia's internet censorship blacklist.
And finally, we meet the whistleblower who would change everything: Chelsea Manning. Part Two is out now.
