This week we are joined by actor, comedian, podcaster - Nikki Britton. We instantly formed a girl crush after seeing NIkki perform live at the Melb Comedy Festival and slid into her DM's post haste. Nikki shares a wonderful chick in history that we're sure everyone has heard of but are probably unaware that she started one of the worlds largest production houses. This is such a fun chat and like us we're certain you'll want to be besties with Nikki after listening!

This week Annie tells Yvie all about Lillian May Armfield, one of Australia’s first policewomen detectives who patrolled the eastern suburbs of Sydney in 1915 - a time when Tilly Devine and Kate Leigh ruled the streets. Lillian spent her days looking for runaway girls, catching cocaine dealers and going undercover to bust fortune tellers. We also introduce our youngest listener (sorry mum!) and Annie needs help with a strange animal in her backyard.
