Happy Monday lovely humans! Welcome to part two of our Elizabeth Taylor series.

Good morning pals! On today’s show: Jennifer Klein’s Day of Indulgence is apparently one of the most coveted invitations in LA, but we have a few questions we’d like to ask. Then, Channel 10’s dire The Bachelor ratings, unpacking Bama Rush and why it took over TikTok this week, and then, a new segment that we will be dropping whenever we feel like it: we open the Shameless Mailbag, and tackle an anonymous listener’s conversational challenge for reconnecting. This week, Mich recommended watching Pistorius on Amazon Prime. Zara recommended Hacks on Stan. If you’d like to write to the Shameless Mailbag, shoot an email to [email protected].

Happy Monday everyone! Today, we’re heading back to 1932. Elizabeth Taylor was one of Hollywood’s greatest icons.

Link to this episode in the new The Shameless Book Club feed: https://open.spotify.com/episode/29lWc3nOaDhqTcWWbSVVhd?si=d03076672f414219 Happy Saturday, book clubbers! This month, we read the debut novel ‘New Animal’ by Australian author Ella Baxter. This book, set initially in the Northern Rivers of New South Wales, then later in suburban Tasmania, follows the life of Amelia Aurelia; an embalmer who spends her days in funeral homes, painting the faces of the dead, and nights sleeping with strangers via the dating apps on her phone. More than anything, though, this is a novel of grief - by chapter four Amelia’s beloved mother dies by falling down the stairs, and the reader joins the protagonist as she wades through the all-consuming pain of loss.

Link to this episode in the new The Shameless Book Club feed: https://open.spotify.com/episode/58cNGnSxs2NfIyseoL1Wjk?si=592094155913438f Happy Saturday, book clubbers! This month, we tucked into Swing Time by Zadie Smith, a novel that tells the story of two girls growing up on the wrong side of London. They meet at a community dance class and dream of being dancers, but only one of them has the talent. The blurb told us it was a tale of “friendships that anchor us, define us and change us forever”, but do we feel that line adequately explained what the book was about? As with any Zadie Smith novel, this one came with hype: her clever observations, the depth of her characters, the nuance in her words. There is simply so. Much. To. Unpack. Today on the show, Mich, Zara, and Annabelle discuss Swing Time’s structure, the standout characters, and the bits in the book that didn’t quite land.

This month, we tucked into the heart-shattering 2016 novel, It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover. It Ends With Us tells the story of an unusual love triangle between protagonist Lily, her first high school romance Atlas, and neurosurgeon Ryle. It’s a page-turning bestseller that explores the dynamics of physically abusive relationships, and how the cycle of violence needs to be broken despite the crushing heartbreak that inevitably flows. Today on the show, Mich, Zara, and Annabelle chat about whether or not the first half of the book landed for them, their favourite characters, and how the domestic violence storyline unfolded.

Gah, it’s our last In Conversation episode for a little while!!! And what a show we have for you today. Tarang Chawla is an Indian-born Australian lawyer, writer and anti-family violence advocate.

A very happy Monday to you, Shameless frens! Today on the show, we bring you the incredibly warm Mari Andrew. If you don’t recognise Mari’s name, which you likely do anyway, you’ll no doubt know and adore the illustrations she posts on her Instagram account @bymariandrew. In 2015 after her father passed away, Mari began posting a watercoloured illustration a day onto her Instagram page, as a way to express grief, yes, but to also spread light. Now, Mari boasts over one million Instagram followers and is a New York Times best-selling author too, who has published two books, Am I There Yet and My Inner Sky - the latter of which she wrote while recovering from an unexpected illness that left her paralysed for an entire month while living in Spain. In this chat with Mari, we talk about why she’s so unafraid to harness loneliness, her relationship with grief, and how she manages to write deeply private stories for her public audience without unleashing past trauma. For more from Mari, follow her on Instagram at @bymariandrew. And to grab a copy of her book, My Inner Sky, head here. If you enjoyed this interview, we recommend you listen to our In Conversation episode with Zoë Foster Blake here, who Mari has created a lot of book illustrations for.

Gooooood morning, wonderful listeners! Today on the show, we bring you the brave Yumiko Kadota. Yumiko, as you’d read in her new memoir Emotional Female, has been an over-achiever her entire life, studying medicine at university and deciding to enter the perilous surgical stream when specialising as a doctor. Only, it was when Yumiko found herself trying to become a surgeon that she encountered the true, brutal nature of Australia’s hospital culture. Yumiko was subjected to such a ridiculous work schedule, colleagues who were unflinching in their coldness, and institutionalised sexism and racism that she was pushed to a mental breakdown in her late twenties, prompting her to take extended leave from her career and spend time as an inpatient in a psychiatric facility. In this chat, we talk about the highs and the lows of being a female doctor in Australia, as well as what can be done to ensure the next generation of female surgeons aren’t pushed to a place they can’t come back from. For more from Yumiko, follow her on Instagram at @mindbodymiko. And to grab a copy of her book, Emotional Female, head here. Thank you so much to today’s sponsor, Quay Australia.

Link to this episode in the new The Shameless Book Club feed: https://open.spotify.com/episode/7DE63ZzOef240bv3X3sJjj?si=1e64f004df3e4948 Halloooooo, fellow book clubbers! This month, we are looking at best-selling author Luanne Rice’s pacey thriller, The Shadow Box. This book jumps before and after the day artist Claire Chase was brutally attacked, to explain just what happened to her. Claire survives before going into hiding and has her suspicions on who her attacker likely was - her admired husband and state attorney, Griffin Chase, who is also running for governor. On the day of Claire’s attack, she was about to launch a shadow box at her art exhibition, inspired by an unforgivable act she was convinced her husband was responsible for years ago. On that same day, one of Claire’s neighbours was also killed. Throughout this novel, as both investigations unfold, we learn exactly how both incidents overlap, and the extent of Griffin Chase’s power over the circle that surrounds him. Today on the show, Mich, Zara, and Annabelle ask allllll ze questions: Did Rice’s thriller keep us on our toes? What did we love about the book? And finally, were we satisfied with the ending?

HELLOOO EVERYONE! Today on the show, we bring you the serene Chantelle Otten. Chantelle is best known as one of the countries leading psycho-sexologists who works out of Melbourne with a team of more than 20. To put it simply, Chantelle is the authority on sex, not just for Australian women, but for Australians from all walks of life. She has built an incredibly successful career being one of the leading voices shattering taboos around sex: about what the average sex life should look like, about how common painful sex is, and about how sex can be pleasurable, no matter what body you live in. In this chat, we covered everything: from why we are sold myths about sex from the moment we understand what it is, about how isolating sex can be if you feel like you’re doing it wrong, and why it’s important for her to be vocal about her own sex life with her Paralympian star boyfriend, Dylan Alcott. For more from Chantelle, follow her on Instagram at @chantelle_otten_sexologist. If you enjoyed this chat, last year we sat down with Dylan Alcott and heard all about his life in professional sport - head here to listen. Thank you so much to today’s sponsor, CeraVe.

GOOD MORNING LISTENER FRIENDS!!!! Today on the show, we bring you the most famous person we’ve ever had the privilege of interviewing on this podcast, Priyanka Chopra Jonas. Priyanka has more than 60 million followers on Instagram, is one of the biggest Bollywood actors and producers of her generation, has managed to pull off a seamless transition into Hollywood, is married to a Jonas brother, and just published a New York Times best-selling memoir. As you can imagine, getting to where Priyanka is today took boundless grit and guts and determination, but what we wanted to hear most from Priyanka was about the facets of her life that the lights and cameras don’t catch; the Priyanka who loves and hurts and feels the exact same range of emotions you or I do. In this chat, we speak about Priyanka’s rise to the very top, yes, but also the village of people who got her there. We talk about grieving her father, grappling with loneliness, wrangling with fame, and falling in love with her husband, Nick. For more from Priyanka, follow her on Instagram at @priyankachopra.

Good morning wonderful Shameless community. Today on the show, we bring you the absolute force that is Grace Tame. When Grace was just 15 years old, she was repeatedly groomed and raped by a 58-year-old maths teacher who taught at her Tasmanian high school. While - after serving his jail sentence - her perpetrator was allowed to speak about his crimes with the media, Grace legally wasn’t: she was prevented by law from sharing her story with the world. So, she decided to do something about it. Together with journalist and activist Nina Funnell, they created the #LetHerSpeak Campaign, which sought to overturn gag laws in Tasmania, the Northern Territory, and, more recently, Victoria. Grace’s voice has been so powerful and so necessary in the space of law reform, that in January, she was named our 2021 Australian of the Year. A content warning before you listen to today’s chat - in this episode we discuss issues regarding grooming, child sexual abuse, eating disorders, self-harm and suicide, and may be triggering for some listeners. For more from Grace, follow her on Instagram @tamepunk. We urge you to check out the work of Bravehearts, a child safety foundation dedicated to preventing child sexual assault and exploitation in Australia. Support them in any way you can via their website, bravehearts.org.au. If you’d like to seek support or advice, Braveheart’s support line is 1800 272 831.
