Shameless

Today’s the day! The day we introduce you to our very first, very special In Isolation episode.

On the show this week, we bring you the delightful Brooke Boney. Brooke is a Gamilaroi woman who grew up in Muswellbrook, NSW, and is currently an entertainment reporter on The Today Show. You’ll likely be familiar with her work before that too, as a journalist on NITV, the ABC, and Triple J.

In our interview with Brooke, we cover everything: From what she thought her year was going to look like to how she’s coping in these strange times. As well as that, Brooke also touches on how she really hopes - when the curtain lifts from all the chaos - that she’ll care a little less about what people think of her.

Thank you so much to ANZ for making this episode of Shameless possible. Head to their website here to find out more.

If you’d like to see more from Brooke, which you no doubt 1000% do, follow her on Instagram at @boneybrooke.

A big, caps-locked HELLLLOOOO to you, Shameless besties!

On today’s show: Mason Disick is the Instagram and Tik Tok deviant we didn't know we needed right now. Plus, why Tiger King will perhaps be the most meme-able moment of 2020, and finally, the New York Times article that convinced us that celebrity culture may be crumbling right before us.

This week, Mich recommended you all download Tik Tok and do this TV character personality test (Link pls Mich xxx). Zara recommended reading this article in The Guardian by Elliott Dallen and getting anything by or with Seth Godin in your ears.

Record a voice message and send it to [email protected] (that's *CO*.com) It can be about anything remaining positive right now! Or your thoughts on the latest pod! We just wanna chat, pretty please. OK, we're done being clingy. Love you.

OH HAI!

Today on the show, we bring you the absolute dynamo that is Lana Wilkinson. Lana is a celebrity stylist who has dressed the likes of Megan Gale, Rebecca Judd, Ruby Rose, and Zoe Foster Blake as well as a designer, having launched her own self-titled shoe brand in 2019.

Given the state of the world, we were feeling a little deflated when we walked into this interview with Lana two weeks ago, but our moods were immediately lifted by Lana’s kindness and light, as well as her insights into pursuing your career and making your big dreams a reality.

Hello hello, lovely people!

On today’s show: How the satirical news website Betoota Advocate somehow, oh so cleverly, Trojan-horsed us all. Plus, a discussion on the reignited Kimye/Taylor Swift feud, and finally, why the concept of self-optimising in this time of self isolation is kinda annoying.

This week, Mich recommended the Netflix show Tiger King and Zara recommended the app HouseParty.

Hiiiiii listener friends!

You asked, we listened. Today, we bring you the man you’ve all been wanting on the show for quite some time: the utterly impressive Dylan Alcott. Dylan is a professional athlete, media personality, motivational speaker, bestselling author, and disability advocate. (And us? We’re completely out of breath just typing that.)

In this episode, we talk about the childhood moment that shaped Dylan’s approach to life, his career jump from pro basketball to tennis, and the love story with his partner Chantelle.

The greatest of mornings to you all, Shameless family!

On today’s show: We hear from a few of your lovely voices via our brand new Shameless hotline. Then, we talk about the Hayley Williams profile that made us think a little deeper about female anger and how to harness it. Finally, a conversation on the lipstick effect and self care in an era of economic downturn.

Zara recommended two episodes of the podcast This American Life: The Show of Delights episode and their Birds & Bees episode. She also recommended linen clothing from Kehoe because YES TO LINEN CLOTHING. Mich recommended you watch 9 Life Lessons from Tim Minchin on Youtube. Also! Lou Lou Lips, if you’re looking for some local, top quality lippies.

OH HELLO! Happy In Conversation day, listener friend!

Today on the show, we’re joined by the sunny Brooke Jowett. If you’re a fan of Survivor Australia, you’ll no doubt be familiar with Brooke, who has now appeared on two separate seasons of the show (the first, which aired in 2016, and the one on your television screens right now!).

In this episode, we talk about how Brooke made a name for herself as a fierce competitor on the show so many of us adore, as well as how she feels about dominating headlines lately. Sure, Brooke’s the woman who was blindsided by the country’s next big Bachelor star. But she’s also the woman who’s shown Australia what she’s made of - twice - without a phone, or a wardrobe, or any of the creature comforts that keep you and I sane day-to-day.

Thank you so much to Bioré for making this episode of Shameless possible. Check out Bioré’s pore strips here.

Oh hi there, glorious listener pals!

Today on the show: A discussion on how we seek out joy during a time of overwhelmingly rampant news coverage. Where are the slithers of light amongst the dark? Where is the line between being educated about world events and being utterly overwhelmed? Then, we jump right to the biggest pop culture news story of the week - the Woody Allen memoir that was pulled just before its release to the public.

Happy Thursday to all our fine-footed friends in the world!

Today on the show we are joined by Jules Von Hep, who we also like to refer to as a human ray of sunshine. Jules is a celebrity tanning expert, the founder of tanning juggernaut Isle of Paradise, co-host of the Jules and Sarah podcast and champion of body confidence.

We first met Jules last year when we hosted MECCALAND and were immediately drawn to him: he is one of the kindest, warmest, most exuberant humans we have ever had the pleasure of meeting through this job. Yes, Jules is a tanning expert - and has tanned some of the most famous women in the world - but goodness, he is also so much more than that. Jules is a warrior for body confidence, infusing much of his ethos about loving and embracing our bodies on his Instagram feed and in his brand.

A quick plot twist before we jump into this chat - Zara wasn’t actually there. She fell ill on the morning we were due to record with Jules and, because he lives in London, it was impossible to re-schedule. So, while she had huge amounts of FOMO listening to this one back, she loved SO much getting the pleasure of enjoying this one as a listener. Mich and Jules cover everything from his battle with an eating disorder as a young man, to tanning celebrities like Kendall Jenner to the birth of his mammoth, internationally stocked beauty brand, Isle of Paradise.

For more from Jules, you can find him @julesvonhep and @theisleofparadise. As always, we are @shamelesspodcast.

It’s Monday! AND a public holiday! AAAAND episode drop day! Hooray!

On today’s show: Toilet paper. Yes, you know exactly what we’re talking about. The great Australian toilet paper shortage of 2020 that’s left us completely perplexed. Plus, we look into The Bachelor Australia’s false start with their announcement of Locky Gilbert as next season’s star. And finally, how ‘interxiety’ - a term we most definitely made up - has kept us up this week.

This week, Mich recommended the newest book by Marian Keyes, Grown Ups. Find it here. Zara recommended Elizabeth Kate Russell’s book, My Dark Vanessa, which you can find here.
