Unleashed

Sally's ex sent an accidental message that has us all cringing, and now she has to decide if bailing him out of humiliation is still her job. Ginni puts the whole midlife supplement stack under the microscope, plus the "Enhanced Games" scam nobody saw coming. There's also a proper gut-punch listener dilemma this week: what do you do when your dead mum's estranged family wants a separate goodbye? Grace has some very personal advice to share on that one. And Cath may finally be getting the school formal she never had (decades late, taffeta mandatory).
In your ears today: Cath Mahoney, Sally Hepworth, Ginni Mansberg and Grace Lam.
Would you come to Cath's formal?! Messsage us!

Or keep your mouth shut and wait for the whole thing to implode? Mary learned that telling the truth can come back to bite you. Meanwhile, Cath went heavy petting in a 12th-century graveyard and Grace got caught mid-pash with her knickers around her ankles and a pack of wild dogs closing in. Bruna makes adult dramas but can’t stop watching teenage ones, and Mary's worried we've lost the art of small talk.
Plus, can two sisters grow up in the same house and remember completely different childhoods?
In your ears today: Cath Mahoney, Mary Coustas, Bruna Papandrea and Grace Lam.

In a time before social media, before camera phones and before anyone could prove anything, one of us had a toilet-line kiss with Robbie Williams. And somehow, that is not even the funniest celebrity story in this episode.
Sally says there is a childhood trend directly linked to her declining mental health. Mary once thought she was pregnant at eight years old. Bruna takes aim at the myth that women vanish after 40. And a very spicy problem involving an affair, a soulmate and one dinner table nobody wants to sit at.
Plus... Cath never went to a formal, so should we throw her one? If you're keen, let us know on Instagram @unleashed.show !

You know Mary Coustas as one of Australia's funniest women: the brilliant mind behind the big-haired, iconic character Effie who has graced our screens and stage for over 30 years. But in this episode from the archives, we're bringing you a different side of Mary.
In this No Filter conversation with Mia Freedman, Mary talks about her unfaltering desire to become a mother, the unimaginable loss of enduring 23 IVF attempts, and the absolute joy of finally welcoming her daughter at 49. It’s honest, unflinchingly raw, deeply moving, and a chance to get to know this beloved icon a whole lot better.
This episode originally aired on No Filter.

Have you heard the one about the wife who cares for everyone else.... but when she's sick she gets the four hour husband? Mary reckons it's all about love languages. Could Cath Mahoney be Australia's next Golden Bachelorette? Hollywood Producer Bruna Papandrea is on the case. Bruna opens the HR file on office romances, and the things we got up to in a time before relationship policies came in. What happens when a friendship fades? Bruna lets one slip and gets called out on it. And Grace Lam harbors a dream to be an Italian Mafia boss. Obviously.
