- Peri Awesome
As a husband it was absolutely the best episode to listen to. Understanding what my wife and sisters are going through makes such a difference. Dr Fatima is incredible and ffs can we get more funding and government help for the women in Australia.

Australiaa month ago - Guests are predictable and the same
I enjoy some episodes but not when it is just the same media attention seeking Australian names that get themselves in every podcast and show possible. It was the last interview with Luke Bateman that completely turned me off. Just another jock attempting to plug his ‘redemption story’. It’s all performative. He’s found his niche. We’ve heard it all over and over and over it is so boring. Find some guests with substance, an actual story to tell and NOT more media attention seekers!

Instead, we have just listened to a parenting episode where they have nannies, cleaners and time off from work to assess their new demanding parenting roles/ all luxuries the majority of your listeners can’t afford. Get real. And down to earth. I have teenage children. Yes it’s a challenge. But parenting has been happening for quite som... more
