Gotta Go

Gotta Go

Listen for free

Sisters, Molly and Briony Benjamin, try to sit down for a quick catch-up before one of them has Gotta Go. It’s a show for people who are juggling family, work, relationships, and the never-ending to-do list that lives rent-free in your brain. Maybe you’ve got kids at home, maybe they’re older, maybe you’re in that glorious in-between where you can finally drink a hot coffee… but you’re still the one who knows where everything is, when everything is, and why everyone is late. Alongside the laughs, there’s a quiet (but very real) thread running through everything we talk about: how to live a little lighter on the planet without turning your life into a constant guilt trip. We’re looking at practical, everyday choices. The kind that save you money, save you time, and just happen to be better for the environment too. No preaching. No perfection. Just “here’s what we’re trying, here’s what worked, and here’s what made the internet angry.” You’ll also pick up genuinely useful advice; money wins, life-admin systems, and simple habits that make the week feel less expensive and less chaotic. Mostly, you’ll leave entertained and weirdly motivated to do one small helpful thing: renegotiate a bill, cancel a rogue subscription, set up a system that shares the mental load, or make one change that’s good for your household and the climate. Come for the laughs, stay for the occasional rant and know that in not too long, one of us has Gotta Go deal with small children.© Copyright 2026 Prod Group Pty Ltd Personal Development Personal Success Social Sciences

    Sidewalk Micro-Feminism, Spooky Ouija Boards and Reading Fairy P*rn
    Jun 12 2026

    First off, we give a big old shout-out to our Mum, who we didn’t fully appreciate until we had kids of our own.

    One of us went to an energy healer in Sydney to help with postpartum anxiety.

    There’s also a really eerie story about a Ouija board which is guaranteed to give you goosebumps.

    One of us discovered the art of micro-feminism with hilarious results.

    We realised that our love for AI has catastrophic consequences for the climate and we’re not sure what the solution is.

    We also laughed about a black-tie filtering strategy for single girls, a legendary family costume-party disaster involving full-body Lycra and the joys of fairy porn.

    We covered a lot of ground this week, but now we’ve Gotta Go.

  • The Gas Rip-Off, Sharenting and a Bachelor's Handbag

    The Gas Rip-Off, Sharenting and a Bachelor's Handbag
    Jun 5 2026

    One of us binge-watched the Kylie doc “for research”.

    We’ve realised teenagers are now casually doing things that make our entire adolescence look like a long nap.

    One of us got styling advice that instantly explained every chaotic wardrobe purchase we’ve ever made.

    We got budgety again, and yes, the gas rant returned (with fresh rage).

    We also started rethinking what we share about our kids online, and it got dark quickly.

    We tried not to gag over a new viral hack that shouldn’t exist.

    We covered a lot of ground this week, but now we’ve Gotta Go.

  • Lamb Sandwich Blackouts, Climate Grief and Sleep Schedules

    Lamb Sandwich Blackouts, Climate Grief and Sleep Schedules
    May 29 2026

    One of us had to apologise for being aggressively helpful

    The other one’s baby brain fully clocked off mid-meeting… and came back 15 minutes later with a lamb sandwich and zero awareness we were still on the call.

    One of us went back to her favourite beach and got hit with climate grief that made it all too real

    We had a side quest into electrifying your house, green loans, and why “carbon footprint” might’ve been a corporate PR trap.

    We also had a moment about how nobody prepares you for the relationship whiplash after having a baby.

    We covered a lot of ground this week, but now we’ve Gotta Go.
