Mads World

I’m joined by the unfiltered, hilarious, and chronically online Anthony Voulgaris aka @undiagnosedanthony. We get into everything from emotional cheating and being happily single, to influencer drama, TikTok fame, chaotic DMs, and the case for capital punishment (lol).

We talk about Anthony’s rise from real estate burnout to viral TikTok creator, why he thinks 9 to 5 should be 9 to 2, a snot kiss date story that will haunt you forever, and his hot takes on women cheating, political influencers, and cancel culture.

If you’ve ever been threatened with cancellation in your DMs, lived with your parents past your twenties, or considered emotionally cheating with a straight man, this episode is for you.

From liquid shits in luxury hotels to getting robbed outside South America’s biggest gay club, comedian Josh Hauville joins Mads World to unpack the chaos of dating, stand-up, travel, and spiritual epiphanies.

We chat about launching his new comedy show Joshy in Paris, why French audiences are a nightmare to win over, and how different cultures handle humour, hookups, and heartbreak. Josh spills on getting two-timed (with receipts), being chased with a knife in Colombia, and the beauty of becoming… the rug (yes, really).

We also deep-dive into gay green flags, hypochondriac vomiting reflexes, and whether you should ever date someone who doesn’t speak your language. This episode is full of laughs, mess, and a little meaning too...

I'm joined by Lana McBackwards for a hilarious and unfiltered conversation about the trans experience.

We cover everything from discovering her identity during the pandemic and dating apps as a trans woman, to dealing with clueless questions and bad dick pics. Lana shares what being a woman means to her, how she uses humour as advocacy, and why the conversations people are scared to have are often the most important.

If you've ever wondered what it's really like to transition, date, and thrive as a trans woman — or you just want a laugh-out-loud chat about pockets, puberty blockers, and Grindr chaos — this is the episode for you.

New episodes every week exploring dating, relationships, feminism, sexuality, love, and life.

I’m joined by the hilarious and painfully insightful Vittorio Angelone: Italian-Irish comedian from Belfast, online chaos merchant, and co-host of Mike & Vittorio’s Guide to Parenting. We chat about navigating fame, feelings, and foot fetishes while touring sold-out comedy shows across the UK, Ireland, Europe, Australia, and North America.

Vittorio was nominated for Best Newcomer at the Edinburgh Fringe 2022, and since then, he's opened for comedy heavyweights like Russell Howard, Michael Che, Sam Morril, and Shane Todd. You’ve seen him on the internet, or your algorithm is failing you.

Prepare for everything from Fringe chaos and comedy heckles, to mental health in the spotlight, musical theatre trauma, and why AFL is the horniest sport on Earth. Plus: first date disasters, behind-the-scenes stories from Fin vs The Internet, and how Vittorio went from classical musician to viral stand-up with millions of views and a cult following.

Is modern dating a total mess, or are we just getting better at being alone? I sit down with Date with Tait's Tait McGregor to talk about habitual singledom, the struggles of online dating, and whether being single is actually the dream.

We dive into the dating burnout so many of us feel, the pressure to couple up, and why being alone doesn’t have to mean being lonely.

From bad Hinge dates to the rise of ghosting and situationships, we unpack what dating looks like in 2025 and whether swiping right is even worth it anymore.

We also unpack the assumptions people make about gender in same-sex relationships, unexpected relationship dynamics, the realities of being visibly queer, and why lesbian love hits different.

This week I'm joined by comedian, born-again bisexual and mental illness connoisseur, Freddie Arthur!

We chat about why she started doing stand-up, her upcoming solo show: Dysfunctional Family Jukebox, her journey with sexuality, her experiences within queer dating culture, animal mating rituals, and the tragic tale of a rat with blue balls.
