There are so many unacknowledged acts of love that women do, and study after study consistently tells us that women do more unpaid labour than men. You've probably heard about 'Weaponised Incompetence', but is there more to the story?

In light of Elle Macpherson's recent revelations relating to her cancer treatment, we discuss the diminishing world of science in an Instagram world. Medicine may not be able to give us the certainty we'd like, but have we lost perspective on what it does do for us? Also, we're feeling pretty gruntled about our 100 year anniversary!

We talk about them all in this episode!
We've been doing a few deep dives over the last few weeks, so we thought we'd keep it light and talk about interesting items that have come across our desks. Of course, we mean figurative desk, considering we're all expected to hotdesk now, which, coincidentally, is something we discuss alongside poo paranoia, prescription poetry and the ethics of airlines using a "pay what you weigh" model....
British presenter Kirstie Allsop allowed her 15-year-old to travel around Europe without parental supervision. She was then contacted by a social worker, informing her that she was under investigation for child neglect.
Amanda and Anita share their thoughts on this and discuss how our modern-day helicopter parenting style might be causing more harm than good. Plus, Anita shares her biggest parenting shame...

Amanda and Anita asked you about the ways you spoil your pets, so to kick things off they share some of your wonderful responses. Meanwhile, British pop-star Lily Allen has faced backlash after she admitted to returning her dog to the pound after it misbehaved. So, this episode looks at that situation, and how to deal with badly behaved pets. Is there such a thing? Or are there simply badly behaved owners? Plus, the glimmers descen...
This week Amanda and Anita discuss the unique love people have for their pets. There is the real grief that is felt when a pet crosses the rainbow bridge. There is the classic trope of a dad who resists getting a dog only to become completely besotted. There are stats that show how pets become family members. And of course, there are the myriad ways people find to spoil their pets. Let us know how you spoil your pets by sending us ...
There is a trend at the moment where people ‘raw-dog’ long plane rides to test their mental resilience. This gets Amanda and Anita thinking about boredom – a sensation that our busy, modern lives have essentially stamped out. What starts as a relatively sensible conversation about this, quickly becomes an in-depth chat about Fairy Porn… which happens to be Amanda’s unexpected new obsession. If you can’t get past the pointy ears, ma...
There is a reason most of us relish a bit of ‘driveway time’ at the end of a big day. It’s in moments like these that we can prepare to transition from one mode to another. To take a breath, shift the gears, and step into our next moment at a better pace. In this episode, Amanda and Anita discuss the stressors that come with change. Whether positive Eustress or negative Distress as explained by Anita, there is always some level of ...
If you’re over 18 we have some bad news… it might be too late for you to become an Olympian. So as the next best thing, this week Amanda and Anita are talking all about the great highs and lows of sport. There are those who love ‘the biff’, and who have their own superstitious ways of supporting their favourite teams - but there are also those who hate it. Together they talk through the perspectives on both sides of the fence, as w...
With the Paris Olympics kicking off tomorrow, Amanda and Anita are considering the idea of competitiveness. Apparently, Bronze Olympic medalists are often more satisfied with their place on the podium than Silver medalists. What does that tell us about the mindset of competitors? Could the key to happiness possibly be to lower expectations? Should Anita from this day forth be referred to exclusively as The Quiet Assassin? There are...
Kids are living with their parents for longer. This is a fact that has Amanda and Anita questioning the amount of communication and guidance parents should provide to their children as they enter young adulthood. Once upon a time it was just an occasional call from a pay phone to let each other know you're still alive. Now, it is a constant stream of calls and texts. So, is there any harm in keeping your children close? Or should p...
Amanda and Anita recently walked past a young woman who seemed to be upset. This got them thinking about what the best protocol is in situations like these. Should you approach a stranger to ask if they are alright? What if they are offended or just want a moment to themselves? From 'The Angel Of The Gap', to the invasion of privacy, and Anita's approach to offering her friendship and support - there are many lessons to be learned ...
If you’ve come across ‘Tradwife’ content on your social media feeds, you’re not the only one. These picture-perfect videos of women presenting as idealised visions of domestic wives are spreading far and wide. While the videos themselves may not be directly harmful or sinister, Amanda and Anita discuss what Tradwife content might signal. Is this what young women want? Why are so many men watching these videos? Where are our algorit...
Two topics have enraged Amanda and Anita recently: Pronatalism, and the idea of a 'Karen'. In this episode they unpack both. The former is a belief that reproductive rates need to be increased, and the latter is the generic brand the internet uses to describe entitled middle aged women. What kind of paths could Pronatalism lead to? Is calling someone a 'Karen' just another way of silencing women's voices? Much to think about in thi...
TikTok rabbit holes can lead to strange, and sometimes insightful places. This week Amanda shares one particular video that got her thinking about gossip. It has become a dirty word - but should we give it more credit? Can it be positive and even productive? Or should a coin be put in a jar every time we talk about someone else?
Where does that line get drawn...
