Shameless

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. Today's episode was made possible by our sponsor The Body Shop, the original nature-inspired, cruelty free beauty brand fighting for a fairer and more beautiful world. Want to work with us?

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.

Helloooooo and HAPPY MONDAY WONDERFUL LISTENER PEOPLE! Coming up on today’s show: the mummy blogger who outed herself as a troll.

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.

HAPPY THURSDAY lovely people! Today on the show we are joined by the one and only Jan Fran. Of course, Jan Fran is an Australian journalist and presenter and presenter, best known for her work co-hosting SBS’ The Feed.

Jan has shot and produced documentaries from all over the world, as well as occasionally appearing as a commentator on The Project Q&A, ABC Breakfast, Paul Murray Live, Studio 10, The Latest, The Today Show and The Drum. In this chat, we go everywhere from how Jan got her big break in the media, to what a diverse media landscape looks to her, and why her dream gig would be at the forefront of a late-night female-driven comedy show.

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.

Happy, happy, happy Thursday lovely people! Today on the show we have the delightful Jo Weston. For those unaware, Jo is goal defence for the Australian Diamonds netball team, and has been a star of the Melbourne Vixens since she was basically a teenager. Here, we talk to Jo all about what life is like as an athlete, how heartbreak and guilt overlap after a big loss and the work she thinks needs to be done in the space of women’s sport. Jo is a total legend, and we think you will really love this chat. Loved this? We think you'll also enjoy our chat with Brandon Jack, Edwina Bartholomew and Emma Hawkins. Craving more?

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?

HIYA! Happy Monday, lovely people.

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. Priya is beautiful, yes, but it's her brain that we find most impressive: she has interned for the United Nations in developing countries, has a law degree under her belt, is a vocal force for greater diversity and representation in the media, and works toward enacting change via her day job in public policy.

It's a new week and we have a lot to talk about, pals! Starting with Taylor Swift performing at the Melbourne Cup. Then, the Caroline Calloway saga that just won't die (with a lil recap for those of you who have no idea what any of that means), and the think piece about performative friendships that had us squealing in delight.

Happy Thursday lovely Shameless fam! Today, we are joined by the remarkable Jess Quinn. When Jess was nine, her life was thrown into disarray by a cancer diagnosis. Within the year, she would lose all of her hair, and then, one of her legs. Now, Jess has turned her biggest hurdle into her biggest triumph - her career is built on the prosthetic limb she wears every day, helping her show her 180,000 Instagram followers that beauty comes in many different sizes and forms. Here, we talk with the advocate and influencer about disability, resilience, diversity and inspiration. It’s a conversation that has stuck with us ever since we sat down in Jess’ Melbourne hotel room, and will continue to have an impact on us for a very long time. If you loved Jess as much as we loved talking to her, you can catch her on Instagram here, and her petition is right here, ready to be signed! Craving more? You’re only human.

Happy Thursday! Today we are joined by the delightful Leigh Campbell. If we are talking expert voices in the beauty and lifestyle space, Leigh’s the ultimate go-to. You probably grew up reading her columns and insights in Cosmopolitan magazine, or, later on, in the Huffington Post Australia.

Here, we chat with Leigh about work, guilt and grief, and what the last 12 months of her life have taught her about herself.

Happy Thursday friends! We’re joined today by serial entrepreneur Cyan Ta’eed, who has gone from working out of her parents’ basement in 2006 to building a tech empire in her online design and photography hub, Envato. Over the last couple of years, Cyan has directed her energy and efforts into Hey Tiger, an ethical chocolate brand that functions as a social enterprise, where each bar sold helps community development projects for cocoa farming communities in West Africa. Cyan is incredibly successful, yes, but she’s also kind, and oozes compassion with everything she does.

Today on the show we have the warm, generous and stupidly clever Georgie Dent. Georgie is a former lawyer, a journalist, an old editor of ours and the author of the new and best-selling memoir, Breaking Badly. At 24, things were going pretty good for Georgie. She’d landed a job at a prestigious Sydney law firm, was living with her boyfriend and had so much head of her. But, in her own words, she broke. By 25, Georgie was unemployed, back living with her parents and suffering such crippling anxiety that she ended up in a psychiatric hospital. To quote the book’s own blurb, Breaking Badly is the story of a nervous breakdown in slow motion. This is Georgie's story. Shameless is a production of Shameless Media.
