    Kath Carlin on miscarraige, motherhood and life behind the comedy

    01/06/2026 | 19 mins.
    This week I sit down with the always hilarious Kath Carlin. We chat all things Kath’s iconic throwback reels, falling pregnant easily for baby number 1 but experiencing multiple miscarriages when trying to conceive baby number 2. What women tell Kath when they sit in her makeup chair, chasing down Von Dutch hats, parenthood now and so much more.

    👄 REAL TALK - Have your friendships changed since kids?

    25/05/2026 | 18 mins.
    In this week’s Real Talk episode we’re discussing friendships after having kids.

    How has our tolerance, energy, motivation for friendships changed? With less time now, can we prioritise as many people in our lives? Are we friends with someone just because we’ve got history with them, or do they really fill up our bucket? Do we make enough time for friends and are we friends for a season, reason or lifetime?

    We delve into this and more.

    Emma Memma & Olly on life after the Wiggles, our love story and the ultimate start-up

    18/05/2026 | 28 mins.
    It’s out 300th episode! So proud to be celebrating this with children’s music icon Emma Watkins (also known as Emma Memma) and husband and music guru Oliver Brian.

    In this episode we chat about life in the wiggles, what kick started their relationship and what they’ve learnt from performing to kids. We delve into what it was like leaving the Wiggles and going out on her own, their radically honest relationship, navigating stage 4 endometriosis and what is next for the duo.

    A big thank you to our episode sponsor iL Tutto.
