  • [4] The one with Gilmore Girls
    Feb 1 2026

    In this (mostly) silly tete-a-tete, two of your favourite podcast gals sit down to discuss one of their favourite shows - Gilmore Girls. As one of the most significant and longest-running shows centred entirely around women, their relationships, friendships and a sprinkling of boyfriends, it made an easy fit into our schedule.

    We discuss some of the most notable story-archs, the show's (mis)handling of motherhood and pregnancy; is Emily actually the best character; and who is The Best Boyfriend? .. The answer might surprise you.

  • [3] Flirt or foe?
    Jan 4 2026

    As much as we love watching a meet-cute on screen, in real life flirting is a freaking minefield. Am I being too nice, am I being too rude? Am I being paranoid? Is he attentive or is he a stalker? Can I balance on the paper-thin line between "leading him on" and ending up on the front page of tomorrow's newspaper?

    The math we do every single day in calculating the safety each laugh, each handshake - it's quiet but endless. Maybe it’s time we gave it a forum.

  • [2] Period sh!ts
    Dec 24 2025

    The topic that started it all - period shits.

    It was over a glass of much needed Friday wine that we realised how many basic things about being a woman go under-discussed - periods, hormones, iron deficiencies, stress. Things our bodies do all the time, that influence and control us daily, yet we need to dig through forums, blogs and inter-generational myths to discover.

    Or by having a chat with your gals. So we made the chat public.
