Rowling’s books being removed from bookstore shelves in the wake of her transphobic statements?

Happy Thursday lovely people! Today on the show we have the formidable Jennifer Atilemile. Jennifer is an international model and writer who advocates for greater representation of racial and body diversity in the media, and who has very recently landed one of the biggest jobs of her career: A campaign with Victoria’s Secret. In this chat we cover everything from what she loves about the modelling industry, to why she feels every job she books is - in her own words - “a win for not just size diversity, but a win for the increase in racial and body diversity in advertising, too.” Jennifer is candid about the burnout that comes with being an activist in 2020, and how she feels about slacktivism online more than three months after the death of George Floyd made headlines across the world. You can find more from Jennifer on Instagram here, or you can check out her new pod! Just search ‘Here if You Need’ in your favourite pod app. Thank you so much to today’s sponsor, Dan Murphy’s and their new Seltzer range.

Ok Less me (Annabelle, hey!) now, more them!

HALLOOOOO, WONDERFUL PEOPLE! On today’s show: Khloé Kardashian and Tristan Thompson are officially back together for the third time, and do we have any right to massively roll our eyes at that fact? Then, singer Adele runs - hair first - into a sea of controversy, and finally, how many friends do you need to be happy, and in 2020 is it possible to be best mates with someone whose world view differs so greatly from your own?

Hello! Surprise! It's Mich! In conversation! You guys have been asking for us to interview each other for quite a while now and we figured there was no better opportunity to do exactly that than the two eps following our book launch. In this chat, Zara asks Mich about the experience of her parents separating when she was in her early twenties, how she finds fulfilment in her work, and her final essay in The Space Between, where she generously shares a chapter of her life story that she's never told the world before. If you or a loved one is struggling with the aftermath of sexual violence, please call 1800 RESPECT. Zara would also like to ask that you don't DM Mich about anything shared in this episode and is very grateful for your understanding. A big shoutout to today's sponsor, The Oodie!

Hi everybody!!!! On today’s show: How does Stan culture function in 2020, and why do so many celebrities struggle with valid critique?

Link to this episode in the new The Shameless Book Club feed: https://open.spotify.com/episode/1uqMITiWOWN4yR5Uz5ierO?si=043dae8ac94c478b Correction: An earlier edit of this episode said the fictional town of Massacre Plains was based in the Northern Territory of Australia. This is incorrect - the town is based in New South Wales. HELLOOOOO BOOK CLUB PALS! This month, we’re discussing the 2020 Miles Franklin Literary Award winner, The Yield, by Tara June Winch. The novel tells the story of a woman who has returned home after the passing of her Poppy, Albert Gondiwindi, and felt like her life had passed her by ever since her sister, Jedda, vanished as a child. August’s perspective is interspersed with that of Albert, via his almost diary-like Wiradjuri dictionary entries, and a letter from 1915, written by the German reverend Ferdinand Greenleaf, who established a mission in Massacre Plains. Today on the show, Mich, Zara and Annabelle talk about the characters they adored, the scenes most vivid for them, and the importance of the Wiradjuri language.

HEY HEY! Happy Thursday! Today on the show, we bring you our good friend and resident foodie, Jess Nguyen. Jess is a home cook and recipe creator who, after being made redundant from her job at Mecca in March this year, made herself the go-to source of delicious, easy-to-cook meals. It’s not even been six months since her redundancy, and Jess has already worked with brands like Vogue Australia to bring joy to her rapidly growing Instagram following of almost fifty thousand people. In this chat, Jess tells us about the moment she learned she’d been made redundant from her job in public relations, to how food is her form of therapy, and why it’s been that way since childhood.

Jameela is a British actress, former radio host, writer, and activist who rose to global fame through her role as Tahani Al-Jamil on The Good Place.

HI HOW ARE YOU OK ENOUGH CHIT CHAT BECAUSE... Today on the show, we bring you the woman who needs no introduction - but we will attempt to give her one that does her justice - Julia Gillard. Julia was, of course, the first female Prime Minister of Australia, who is now the Chair of Beyond Blue, one of Australia’s leading mental health awareness bodies. Julia is also an avid advocate for addressing women’s under-representation in leadership, which was the motivation behind the book she just co-authored with Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, ‘Women and Leadership’. In this chat, Julia touches on the frustration that accompanies being a woman in politics, the moment she found out Hillary Clinton lost to Donald Trump, as well as her absolutely iconic misogyny speech. If you’d like to hear more from Julia, please do check out her newest book that she co-wrote with Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, ‘Women and Leadership’. Order it here! You can also order Julia’s memoir, ‘My Story’, here. For those In Conversation episodes we mentioned at the end of today’s episode, click here for Dylan Alcott and here for Marlee Silva.

Good morning, lovely listeners! On today’s show: MICH ISSUES A RUSSELL CROWE-RELATED APOLOGY! Plus Paris Hilton is launching her 27th (... yes, 27th) fragrance and we want to know why there’s still so much hype around celebrity scents. And then, the Youtube drama clusterf**k that’s making its way into the mainstream. This week, Zara recommended consuming any content featuring Glennon Doyle, particularly her episode on ABC’s Conversations. Soooo, remember when Mich read only the misleading headline of an article, mistaking Russell Crowe’s New Zealand slang for Australia’s? Yeah, she’s sorry ‘bout it, and recommends researching stuff better than she did. Thank you so much to today’s sponsor, Garnier. Find out more about their new Rose Water Micellar Cleanser here.

GUESS WHO’S BAAAACCKKK!? (... Back again. Mich and Zara are back. Tell a friend. Sorry.) On today’s show: Scott Disick and Kourtney Kardashian may be getting back together and, well… we really hope not. Plus, YouTuber Jenna Marbles says she’s quitting Youtube after past racist videos. So, are we entering an era where celebrities are starting to de-platform themselves? And what do we expect from white influencers from here on in? This week, Mich recommended the show Love Life on Stan. Zara recommended watching Famous in Love on Stan and reading our Shameless Book Club June pick, ‘Girl, Woman, Other’ by Bernardine Evaristo.

A BIG, CAPS LOCK HAPPY THURSDAY TO YOU, SHAMELESS PALS! If you haven’t listened to one of these before, this ‘The Archives’ series ventures deep into our backlog of chats to re-visit some of my (Annabelle's) absolute favourite moments of Shameless interviews. Mich and Zara return from their mid-year break on Monday, so this will be the last bonus episode for a little while. Today, we’re talking about mental health. The fact is, a significant portion of the population will be diagnosed with a mental disorder at some point in their life. Yet still, a lot of us find it difficult to talk about our own struggles. What makes it feel a little less lonely, though? Hearing people in the public sphere so honestly share their own stories; stories many might resonate with in one way or another. Today, we hear from: Georgie Dent, Osher Günsberg, Nawal Sari, Brandon Jack, Matt Okine, Abbie Chatfield, Hugh van Cuylenberg, Rosie Waterland, Mitchell Orval, Ash London, Celia Pacquola, Jules Von Hep, and Tanya Hennessy.

Good morning to you, my friends! It’s Annabelle here! Mich and Zara are on their mid-year break for a couple more weeks (*wipes away a single, dramatic tear*), which means I’ve got a couple more bonus episodes up my sleeve until their return. If you’re unaware, this ‘The Archives’ series ventures back into our backlog of chats to re-visit some of my absolute favourite moments of Shameless interviews. Today’s theme is… women and the media. We’ve had such a diverse bunch of women join us for our In Conversation episodes since 2018; women who are unapologetically themselves in the otherwise very white, very male-dominated Australian media landscape. What’s it been like navigating it as women with varying cultural backgrounds, differing physical abilities, and life experiences? Today, we hear from: Jamila Rizvi, Brooke Blurton, Priya Serrao, Brooke Boney, Melissa Leong, Marlee Silva, Georgie Stone, Carly Findlay, Jess Quinn, Neroli Meadows, Em Rusciano, Georgia Love, Brooke Jowett, and Clementine Ford.

As you might know already, the girls are on their mid-year break for three weeks, so I’ve put together a few bonus episodes of some of my favourite moments of Shameless interviews, to fill the Mich and Zara shaped hole in my podcast feed. (It was selfish of me, really.) Today’s theme is… success. How do some of Australia’s most accomplished people define it? To them, is success about work or family or something else entirely? We hear from past conversations with activists, influencers, entrepreneurs - you name it. In fact, I’ll name them all below and leave links to find their full Shameless interviews there, too. Today’s lineup: Flex Mami, Courtney Act, Dylan Alcott, Emma Isaacs, Cyan Ta’eed, Zoë Foster Blake, Jess Quinn, Marlee Silva, Lana Wilkinson, Georgie Stone, Jules Von Hep, Rosie Waterland, Matt Okine, Clare Bowditch, Jan Fran, and Emma Carey.
