Shameless
Whether it be a little bit of gossip or some much-missed gal chat, Shameless gives us our weekly pop culture fix. This hilarious tell-all podcast is hosted by Melbourne journalists Zara McDonald and Michelle Andrews for ‘smart people who love dumb stuff.’ It delves head first into celebrity goss and dissects all the weird and wacky things happening in the world, through an intelligent lens. As featured in The New York Times and The Guardian, the chart-topping podcast is a welcome reprieve from the heavy content circulating right now.
Deliciously Ella
As we all know, wellness is about so much more than what we eat or how far we run. It’s the relationships we nurture, the sleep we get, the love that we show ourselves and so much more. Deliciously Ella explores every inch and aspect of wellness through a series of interviews with leading researchers, doctors and scientists. Focused on eating good, feeling good and doing good, Deliciously Ella offers us that healthy lifestyle switch-up to help us get the best out of life or, at the very least, out of a lockdown slump.
Life Uncut
Awkward break-ups, cringey texts, running away from an ex in public - we’ve all done it. But, to avoid the cold look of disapproval from peers, we tend to keep a lot of these stories bottled up. Enter Life Uncut, where no awkward story is off limits. The perfect duo to turn to for advice, Bachelor finalists Brittany Hockney and Laura Byrne are the virtual older sisters we never had. From sexuality and singledom to a much needed breakdown of the Bachelor, Brittany and Laura navigate relationships and modern day courting. They give us the deets on all things dating and even answer that burning question that keeps us all up at night - why are we all obsessed with true crime television shows?
How to fail with Elizabeth Day
While there’s 1001 podcasts teaching us how to succeed, not many are there to talk us through when we fail. How to fail with Elizabeth Day explores failure in a safe space for all. Chatting to some big winners about their big losses, we come to terms with the lows needed to reach the highs that we set for ourselves in the ever tumultuous ride that is life. The reality is that we fail more than we win, but it’s the failures that make winning so much more rewarding. This podcast navigates the obstacles that life throws at us, one failed experience at a time.
