Shameless

Hiiiiii listener friends! You asked, we listened. Today, we bring you the man you’ve all been wanting on the show for quite some time: the utterly impressive Dylan Alcott. Dylan is a professional athlete, media personality, motivational speaker, bestselling author, and disability advocate. (And us? We’re completely out of breath just typing that.) In this episode, we talk about the childhood moment that shaped Dylan’s approach to life, his career jump from pro basketball to tennis, and the love story with his partner Chantelle.

The greatest of mornings to you all, Shameless family! On today’s show: We hear from a few of your lovely voices via our brand new Shameless hotline. Then, we talk about the Hayley Williams profile that made us think a little deeper about female anger and how to harness it. Finally, a conversation on the lipstick effect and self care in an era of economic downturn. Zara recommended two episodes of the podcast This American Life: The Show of Delights episode and their Birds & Bees episode. She also recommended linen clothing from Kehoe because YES TO LINEN CLOTHING. Mich recommended you watch 9 Life Lessons from Tim Minchin on Youtube. Also!

OH HELLO! Happy In Conversation day, listener friend! Today on the show, we’re joined by the sunny Brooke Jowett. If you’re a fan of Survivor Australia, you’ll no doubt be familiar with Brooke, who has now appeared on two separate seasons of the show (the first, which aired in 2016, and the one on your television screens right now!). In this episode, we talk about how Brooke made a name for herself as a fierce competitor on the show so many of us adore, as well as how she feels about dominating headlines lately. Sure, Brooke’s the woman who was blindsided by the country’s next big Bachelor star. But she’s also the woman who’s shown Australia what she’s made of - twice - without a phone, or a wardrobe, or any of the creature comforts that keep you and I sane day-to-day. Thank you so much to Bioré for making this episode of Shameless possible. Check out Bioré’s pore strips here.

Oh hi there, glorious listener pals! Today on the show: A discussion on how we seek out joy during a time of overwhelmingly rampant news coverage. Where are the slithers of light amongst the dark? Where is the line between being educated about world events and being utterly overwhelmed?

Happy Thursday to all our fine-footed friends in the world! Today on the show we are joined by Jules Von Hep, who we also like to refer to as a human ray of sunshine. Jules is a celebrity tanning expert, the founder of tanning juggernaut Isle of Paradise, co-host of the Jules and Sarah podcast and champion of body confidence. We first met Jules last year when we hosted MECCALAND and were immediately drawn to him: he is one of the kindest, warmest, most exuberant humans we have ever had the pleasure of meeting through this job. Yes, Jules is a tanning expert - and has tanned some of the most famous women in the world - but goodness, he is also so much more than that. Jules is a warrior for body confidence, infusing much of his ethos about loving and embracing our bodies on his Instagram feed and in his brand. A quick plot twist before we jump into this chat - Zara wasn’t actually there. She fell ill on the morning we were due to record with Jules and, because he lives in London, it was impossible to re-schedule. So, while she had huge amounts of FOMO listening to this one back, she loved SO much getting the pleasure of enjoying this one as a listener. Mich and Jules cover everything from his battle with an eating disorder as a young man, to tanning celebrities like Kendall Jenner to the birth of his mammoth, internationally stocked beauty brand, Isle of Paradise. For more from Jules, you can find him @julesvonhep and @theisleofparadise. As always, we are @shamelesspodcast. Thank you so much to today’s sponsor DiDi.

It’s Monday! AND a public holiday! AAAAND episode drop day! Hooray! On today’s show: Toilet paper. Yes, you know exactly what we’re talking about. The great Australian toilet paper shortage of 2020 that’s left us completely perplexed. Plus, we look into The Bachelor Australia’s false start with their announcement of Locky Gilbert as next season’s star. And finally, how ‘interxiety’ - a term we most definitely made up - has kept us up this week. This week, Mich recommended the newest book by Marian Keyes, Grown Ups. Find it here. Zara recommended Elizabeth Kate Russell’s book, My Dark Vanessa, which you can find here. Thank you so much to today’s sponsor, ANZ.

Yoohoo! It’s us again, rudely interrupting your Thursday morning! (And we aren’t even sorry about it.) Today on the show, we’re joined by the delightfully vibrant Neroli Meadows: one of the country’s leading sports commentators and television presenters. In this episode, we dive into it all: From Neroli’s close relationship with her siblings to the highlights of working her way up in a male dominated industry. We also touch on what grappling with losing a job is like when it's so tied to your personal and public identity, as well as how Neroli has dealt with re-shaping her career after rejection.

YES! Today is the day. And from this point on, the 20th of February 2020 will be forever known as Shameless Christmas. Also, the day with the best numerology in the history of the universe (20/02/2020 - what a date, what a time). But enough about number orgasms! This is about Zoë, AKA former beauty journalist, the author of ten books and the founder of Go-To (and Bro-To... and Gro-To) Skin Care. Also, the curator of Very Good Instagram Accounts and purveyor of Extremely Good Advice. In this episode, we cover a lot; from the early days of Zoë's career to building a huge beauty brand, the self-doubt that can rear its head, motherhood, and what it’s like to be one half of the country’s golden couple. You're almost definitely following Zoë on Instagram anyway, but just in case, she's @zotheysay. We're @shamelesspodcast.

The divorce announcement that we care about deeply and the rise of medfluencers - doctors, dieticians and nurses who are making money on Instagram. And - finally - the opinion piece on the Karen meme that was so contentious, it was the top trending topic on Twitter in Australia over the weekend. Mich forgot to recommend anything because she was too busy talking about the new baby burrito. Can she recommend you become an aunty? Because she wants to recommend that.

HELLO GLORIOUS LISTENERS! Today on the show we are joined by Rosie Waterland. Rosie is a writer and comedian who began her career writing recaps of The Bachelor for Mamamia. Since then, she's achieved so much we honestly feel a little dizzy, err, recapping it all.

Oh, and last year she signed a two-book deal with Harper Collins Australia, announcing her foray into fiction. NO BIG DEAL. EVERYTHING IS FINE. Just a content note on this one: we do cover issues of suicide, addiction and details of childhood trauma in this episode and it may be triggering for some listeners. Follow Rosie on Instagram: @rosiewaterland Listen to Rosie's podcast, Just The Gist here. Head along to one of her shows! Rosie is doing her Kid Chameleon show in Canberra on the 23rd of February and then heads to South Australia on the 25th. You can buy your tickets here.

It’s our first In Conversation of 2020 and it’s a gooooood one. Today on the show we are joined by the formidable force that is Clementine Ford. Of course, you’re likely to know Clem for her writing on feminism and as the author of Fight Like a Girl and Boys will be Boys. But who is Clem Ford behind the writing and activism we know so well? We sat down with Clem in her Melbourne home to chat all about her work, yes, but what it was like growing up all over the Middle East and how motherhood changed everything. Just setting the scene on this one before we jump in: we recorded this in Clem’s apartment with a train line nearby which may hear very occasionally through the chat, but we think you will love it all the same. Here are some links to buy Clem’s books Fight Like a Girl and Boys will be Boys. A big thank you to today’s sponsor Denada Sugar Free Ice Cream.

Hey friends! Happy New Year! We hope you've enjoyed some much-deserved time out with your loved ones. Today we are re-sharing one of our favourite episodes of 2019 - our In Conversation episode with Natalie Fornasier. We first came across Natalie and her story when she sat down with Byrdie.com.au in 2018 for a piece titled “I’m 24 and Living With Advanced Melanoma—This Is My Story”. Natalie’s words and insights in that interview were what informed our very last segment of Shameless in 2018, and what pushed us to change our own relationship with sun tanning forever. We had Nat as a guest at our Sydney live show in November, and are so lucky to now call her a friend. Nat is now battling stage four melanoma after the cancer spread to her small intestine and bowel. Given today marks a new year and a new decade, we thought now is the time to help Nat champion her message again. So, Team Shameless has enlisted the help of some of Australia's most influential and recognisable women to make a pledge toward sun safety in 2020. You can watch our #IPledge video on our Instagram page @shamelesspodcast at midday today. The Pledge: Did you know melanoma is the third most common cancer in Australian women? It kills more young people in our country than any other form of cancer. So in 2020, I pledge: To wear sunscreen. To get my tan from a can. And to take notice of my skin - and do whatever I can to protect it. I pledge to get my skin checked if I feel like something’s wrong, or if it’s been a while. To never glamourise sun tanning to my followers. And to educate myself and others about the risks. In 2020, I’m going to be safe in the sun. And I encourage you to do the same. To support Call Time On Melanoma, visit www.calltimeonmelanoma.com.au, or follow them on Instagram @calltimeonmelanoma. To follow Nat on Instagram, search @nataliefornasier.

Plus, the best pop culture moments of the last decade, and the Chrissy Teigen and John Legend argument that sings to our souls.

Hello lovely listeners! Today we have a powerful interview with Bel Sloane. In case you’re not familiar with her name, Bel is a television presenter for Channel 7. She’s also the wife of AFL star and captain of the Adelaide Crows, Rory Sloane. In 2018, Bel and Rory lost their first child Leo, who was born sleeping. In this interview, we talk about that grief, but also the love that Leo brought to both of their lives. We also talk about what it was like to fall pregnant again with their little boy, Sonny, and the mechanics of keeping that entire pregnancy secret from the outside world. While we sat with Bel in her Adelaide home, there was a great, big Christmas tree right beside us. On the Christmas tree were a collection of baubles that read the names of their little family - Mum, Dad, Sonny and Leo - the little warrior who will never be forgotten, and whose passing ignited a legacy that will help Australian parents for years to come. Thanks to our sponsor Hey Tiger for making this episode of Shameless episode possible. Use our code SHAMELESSHOLIDAY at checkout to receive a free full-size bar of chocolate, worth $15. You can follow Bel on Instagram @bel_sloane. If you enjoyed this episode, we also recommend you listen to our chat with Leigh Campbell, which you can find here. If you or a loved one is struggling with pregnancy loss, support is available at SANDS. You can call any time, day or night, on 1300 072 637.

It’s little Friday and boy, are we happy about it! Today we’ve got a good one for you, because we are joined by the powerhouse that is Steph Claire Smith. Or, now, Miller. Steph entered the public consciousness as a model, and a wildly successful one at that, but since then has crafted a career that exists well beyond the modelling industry. Today, she is the co-founder of fitness app Keep it Cleaner, sunglass company Soda Shades and bikini brand Midnight. She’s the face of Bondi Sands, an ambassador for Adidas and the co-author of a book, too. And, yes, she’s still only 25. We sat down with Steph to talk about business, yes, but also the scrutiny of being in the public eye, her very recent and high profile wedding and the kinds of criticisms that hurt the most. Also a big thank you to today’s sponsor Kester Black. Remember, with the code SHAMELESS at checkout you can receive a FREE (!!) lipstick with any order. Visit www.kesterblack.com to check them out.

Happy, happy, happy Thursday you wonderful people! Em is known as the girl who fell from the sky: at just 20 years old, when skydiving in Switzerland, her parachute failed to open properly. She plummeted from the sky, landing on the ground completely paralysed from the waist down. She spent months in hospital re-learning how to move her body again. Today, Emma is a walking paraplegic. As she documented her recovery and her re-birth (as she now calls it) Emma built a hugely loyal following thanks to her sunny and warm and thoughtful posts. But often, behind the scenes, things were much harder than she presented them on Instagram. Last week, we sat down with her in Brisbane and asked her all about it.

Happy, happy, happy Thursday our favourite listeners! Today on the show, we’re joined by Clare Bowditch, a musician and actress who has now released her memoir, Your Own Kind of Girl, a book that explores the stories we tell ourselves and what happens when we believe them. In this episode we talk about what it’s like to lose a sister, be sent to a diet doctor when you’re still in primary school, and accept yourself when the world tells you that you shouldn’t. A bit of a trigger warning on this one, too: this episode discusses eating disorders in a manner that might be triggering for some listeners. If you’d love to hear more from Clare, you can do two things: buy her book Your Own Kind of Girl, or follow her on Instagram @clarebowditch. Also a big thank you so much to today’s sponsor Urban You.

HIYA and HAPPY MONDAY LOVELY PEOPLE! Coming up on today’s show: it was a big night for reality TV finales on Thursday and the results sparked a rather furious divide between Australians: when it comes to daylight savings and the shows airing at different times in different states, whose responsibility is it to keep the result under wraps? Plus, a conversation about celebrity fundraisers in the wake of natural disasters and then, the OK Boomer meme that has infiltrated the internet. This week, Zara recommends you read Catch and Kill by Ronan Farrow, while Mich recommends Three Women by Lisa Taddeo.

Helloooooo, favourite listener friends! Today on the show we have the enigmatic Erin Brockovich. In the year 2000, the award-winning film starring Julia Roberts told the true story of Erin’s involvement in a case against a Californian power company. Ever since, Erin has continued to work in the environmental sphere and has regularly visited Australia as the ambassador for Shine Lawyers. In our chat with Erin, we asked her about her environmental activism, what it’s like coming into such a large sum of money so unexpectedly, and her relationship with the label “feminist icon”. And yes, we talk a bit about Julia Roberts too... If you loved this chat with Erin, you can find more from her at @the_real_erin_brockovich on Instagram. After you follow Erin, may we recommend you also listen to our interview with the marvellous Em Rusciano too? You can feast your ears (eyes? who knows!) on that one right here.

HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY Monday to our favourite Shameless people! On the agenda today: The Jenna Dewan and Channing Tatum divorce that was far grittier than their official statement ever let on. Plus, the landmark ruling that could shake up the reality TV industry and a meaty discussion on the merits and shortcomings of marriage. This week, Zara recommends an old episode of Ladies We Need to Talk called Settling for Average, and Mich was SUPPOSED to recommend a banger playlist Triple J's Bridget Hustwaite made for us after our interview with her went live, but got so caught up in the "I'm not Joey" stuff she totally forgot.

IT'S A NEW WEEK! WEEEEEE! LET'S AVOID THE MISERY TOGETHER! Coming up on today’s show: The Herald Sun story that made us tear our hair out. Plus! An explainer on the WAGatha Christie tweets you've definitely seen about Coleen Rooney and Rebekah Vardy (AKA THE BEST TRASH STORY OF THE YEAR - NAY - THE MILLENNIUM), and a deep dive on Ellen DeGeneres's friendship with controversial former US President, George Bush.

Hellooooo! Happy Thursday, lovely Shameless listeners! Today we’re sitting down with Abbie Chatfield - the 24-year-old runner up on this year’s season of The Bachelor. We wouldn’t hop on a plane to Brisbane for just any Bachelor contestant; but we did for Abbie because we think her time in the public eye has been fascinating. Abbie is considered one of the most controversial Bachelor contestants in history for one, curious reason: Abbie likes talking about sex. In this chat, we talk a lot about shame: why and how the media deploys it against women and the unique power in rejecting it. If you loved this interview, follow Abbie on Instagram @abbiechatfield.

Haaaaappy Monday, folks! Coming up on today’s show: Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott split, and it’s a story not without a bunch of subplots. Plus, an explainer on the Erin Molan and Andrew Johns controversy (and how it exposes the NRL’s continued sexism problem) and the most ridiculous TV show on Australian television is The Masked Singer and we can’t stop talking about it.

Haaaaappy Thursday, friends! Please welcome THE FIRST EVER MAN to Shameless In Conversations! How wild. What a niche. For those unfamiliar, Brandon Jack was born with sporting prowess in his blood; Brandon grew up with a father, Garry, who was a star player and coach in the rugby league. His brother Kieren was an AFL premiership player, and for a time was captain of the Sydney Swans. Brandon gave professional sport a crack himself - he played alongside Kieren at Sydney from 2013 to 2017 - before deciding his passion was writing. And feminist writing, at that. Now, Brandon is a columnist for the Sydney Morning Herald, where he writes about locker-room culture, feminism, and violence against women, among other things like current affairs and sport. We hope you enjoy this chat as much as we loved having it. Follow Brandon on Instagram @brandonjackk. Find some of his writing here. Loved this?

Hello! Happy Thursday! Today we are joined by Miss Universe Australia, Priya Serrao, a woman who defies the mould of what constitutes a beauty queen.
