Link to this episode in the new The Shameless Book Club feed: https://open.spotify.com/episode/6eKjWrE1urOLi4MmdMT5dW?si=433b4ecad25f45d7 Hiya! Happy Saturday! 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.

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.

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.

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.

Happy Mondaaaaay everybody! Today on the show, we bring you the remarkable Celeste Barber. We have no doubt you know precisely who Celeste is - she does have 10 million followers across Instagram and Facebook - but we’ll introduce her to you anyway. Celeste began her career as an actress, but over the last six years, has channeled her talent for making people think and laugh into a movement she calls ‘Challenge Accepted’. The premise is simple and brilliant; via her Instagram page, Celeste parodies the content Instagram has become synonymous for - exceedingly thin, obscenely famous women posing in unrealistic and sometimes downright bizarre ways. Celeste’s comedy has made her a local and international sensation: she’s graced the likes of In Style Magazine, penned a best-selling memoir, is the new face of MCoBeauty, and is practically taking over the world, one post at a time. In this chat, we wanted to hear about Celeste’s life before fame, the awkward stages of pursuing a career in the public eye, her relationship with rejection and failure, and what it’s like to build a business off the back of being yourself. For more from Celeste, follow her on Instagram at @celestebarber and check out her podcast, Celeste and Her Best. If you enjoyed this episode, we recommend you listen to our chat with fellow comedian Celia Pacquola.

This month, we read best-selling author Nick Hornby’s eighth novel, Just Like You. The book follows two protagonists, 22-year-old Joseph and 42-year-old Lucy, who fall in love despite coming from two different worlds. Joseph is a young Black DJ trying to find his place in the world, while Lucy is a white English teacher and mum of two, who has recently separated from her addict ex-husband. This isn’t just the story of a juicy love affair though: after all, the book is set in 2016 and Brexit is the backdrop of their union, meaning conversations about politics and race relations are littered throughout. Today on the show, Mich, Zara, and Annabelle talk about it all: Did Nick Hornby pull off his eighth book? Can a white man write about the experience of a Black man? And, were we pulled towards the romance of Lucy and Joseph? Thank you so much to today’s sponsor, Penguin Books Australia and Emotional Female by Yumiko Kadota. Head here to pick up a copy.

Helloooooo pals! Today on the show, we bring you the brilliant Bridget Malcolm. Bridget is a classically-trained musician, best known as an international model who walked for Victoria’s Secret in their 2015 and 2016 fashion shows, as well as walking for brands like Ralph Lauren and Stella McCartney. But Bridget’s story in the fashion industry isn’t just one of glitzy catwalks and endless travel. Instead, Bridget spent much of her early and prominent years modelling battling a relentless eating disorder which, for two years, saw her live off little more than protein shakes and steamed vegetables. In this chat, we talk about all of it: her lowest moments, her love of music, her complicated relationship with alcohol, her relatively recent diagnosis of Pre Menstrual Dysphoric Disorder, and how she feels about the modelling industry after everything she’s been through. If this chat raises issues for you, support is available on The Butterfly Foundation's National Support Line, 1800 33 4673. For more from Bridget, follow her on Instagram @bridgetmalcolm and subscribe to her new podcast, Model Mentality on Spotify here.

Happy Monday folks! Today on the show, we bring you the vibrant Martha Kalifatidis. You’re likely familiar with the makeup artist and reality star after she appeared in one of the country’s most-watched seasons of Married at First Sight. Yes, she may well be known for a certain **wine throwing** incident, but she also left the show with a huge and fiercely loyal group of fans who fell in love with how confident, unapologetic, and yes - if we may use a buzzword to round this list out - authentic she really is. Oh, and they fell in love with her love story too, after Martha and her Married at First Sight husband Michael defied the reality TV odds, still together more than two years after the show aired. In this chat, we talked about why she decided to go on the show, the dark days she spent in bed when trolling got too much and how Michael changed her life completely.

HELLO, LOVELY LISTENERS! On today’s show: Australia has its own local and modern-day gossip girl - Celeb Spellcheck - so what happens when influencers are determined to track her down and expose her identity? Plus, Kim Kardashian West thinks her seven-year-old daughter North is Picasso, why the Golden Globes are more irrelevant than ever, and then, why Janet Jackson was trending on Monday, some 17 years after the term ‘nipplegate’ entered the zeitgeist.

HIYA FRIENDS! Today on the show, we bring you the ever-so-sweet Bonny Rebecca. For the unacquainted, Bonny Rebecca is a content creator and influencer with one hell of a story to tell. In 2018, at the height of the plant-based Instagram movement, Bonny - someone who had built a life and a career based on the lifestyle - decided to tell the world that she was leaving veganism for good. Cue: total internet outrage. Outrage so bad that Bonny found her name and face in massive publications like VICE. In this chat, we asked Bonny: What’s it like to find yourself in the eye of a social media storm? Is that corner of the internet really a bit like a cult? And how do you find yourself again when everything you once defined yourself as comes crashing down? For more from Bonny, follow her on Instagram @bonnyrebecca.

You may know Tayla from her time on Love Island season one where she fell in love, won the reality show, and promptly found out her boyfriend - the one she won beside - actually had a girlfriend on the outside the entire time. Now, with an Instagram following of more than half a million people, Tayla Damir has proven to be so much more than her Island experience and the drama that ensued in the weeks after. In this chat, we talk about the sugary stuff like, how does one even find themselves applying for the show? And how did she find out Grant Crapp actually had a girlfriend sitting at home?

Goooood morning, everyone! HAPPY LAST DAY OF 2020! Today on the show, we bring you the formidable Samantha Wills. You likely know Samantha’s name from her eponymous jewelry line, Samantha Wills. Back in 2004, Sam decided to invest her last $500 to showcase her jewelry - jewelry she was then selling at the Bondi markets at Australian Fashion Week. People fell in love, and very soon, she was overwhelmed with orders. Three years in though - despite boasting a successful and very popular business - Sam found herself $70,000 in debt. So, how did she turn it all around? And why did she decide to close, rather than sell, a 10 million dollar business? In this chat, we go everywhere, from burnout to chronic illness to broken relationships to business. For more from Samantha, follow her on Instagram @samanthawills.

This month, we read Transcendent Kingdom by Yaa Gyasi - a novel that centres around Gifty, a neuroscientist at Stanford who studies addiction and depression neural circuits through experimenting with mice. This, we come to learn, is no coincidence. Transcendent Kingdom deals with grief, mental illness, and religion, and also takes us back through Gifty’s life: From her brother’s opioid addiction to a disappearing father to being sent to Ghana to live with her Aunt while her mother battles depression at home. Transcendent Kingdom was a NYT bestseller and is Yaa Jessie’s second published work. Mich sat down for an interview with Yaa about her novel, which we will play in the second half of this episode.

Link to this episode in the new The Shameless Book Club feed: https://open.spotify.com/episode/5PwGumOnjhUbz2vNtWkQdS?si=90750de4c18e40ec A very happy Saturday to you, book club friends!!! This month, we’re delving into bestselling author Dolly Alderton’s fiction debut: the warm, funny, tender novel, Ghosts. Ghosts tells the story of food writer Nina Dean who enters her thirties with a successful career under her belt and strong friendships around her. And then, well... then she meets Max - a tall, clever, evasive man who told her on their first date that he will marry her. She loves him, he loves her. For five months, they’re entwined in each other’s lives and then he just… disappears. Ghosts tells the story of how friendship changes over the decades and how terminal illness in a family can sometimes splinter the relationships of those who are hurting. Just over a month after release, Ghosts is already a Sunday Times bestselling novel. Today on the show, Mich, Zara, and Annabelle discuss the hype around this book, the magnificent character that is Lola, and the plot lines that didn’t quite land (we’re looking at you, Angelo).
