It’s Mother’s Day this weekend, so we’re celebrating by bringing in Amanda's sons, Jack and Liam, for a special episode where they spill the tea about what it was really like growing up with a mum in the spotlight. Expect affection, awkwardness, and a whole lot of oversharing.

Cousins play a unique role in our lives, so we were worried to hear about "The Great Cousin Decline"... We explore how shifting family dynamics are changing our connections, and ask: Why does cousin marriage feel icky? Is that instinct or culture?

Anita had a birthday, which got us thinking: what does it really mean to get older? What kind of old ladies do we want to be? And for that matter, when do we start being “old”?

In this episode, we reflect on how aging shapes our personalities, productivity, and how we’re perceived. Why do we wait till we’re older be bold, free, and unapologetically ourselves?

We don't want to holiday in the South of France — we just want to take a book down to the South Coast and spend the weekend surrounded by the people we know and love. Is that so shocking?

In this live show, Amanda reflects on moments with her mum and the words she never got to say. Anita shares a deeply personal story about losing her dad and the things she thought she had expressed—but now, decades later, realises she hadn’t.

And to cap it off, a special guest joins to share how they manage to find glimmers in the most unexpected places—yes, even in roadkill.
