Shameless

Today on the show we have the warm, generous and stupidly clever Georgie Dent. Georgie is a former lawyer, a journalist, an old editor of ours and the author of the new and best-selling memoir, Breaking Badly.

At 24, things were going pretty good for Georgie. She’d landed a job at a prestigious Sydney law firm, was living with her boyfriend and had so much head of her. But, in her own words, she broke. By 25, Georgie was unemployed, back living with her parents and suffering such crippling anxiety that she ended up in a psychiatric hospital.

To quote the book’s own blurb, Breaking Badly is the story of a nervous breakdown in slow motion.

This is Georgie's story.

Today's In Conversation episode is with one firecracker of a human, Em Rusciano.

We adore Em for her wit and intelligence, but most of all her honesty and vulnerability. She is one of a kind and we hope you enjoy this chat about career, family and life in the public eye. Oh, and a note before we dive in - Em talks with her hands, which means you might hear some noises here and there! Just pretend you’re right there in the studio with us!

If you adore Em as much as we do, follow her on Instagram @emrusciano. You’ll find us at @shamelesspodcast!

You can also check out tickets for her new show, Rage and Rainbows, here.

Happy Thursday!

Today on the show we have the very lovely, very bubbly, Brooke Blurton. You may remember Brooke from her time on The Bachelor and The Bachelor in Paradise, but in truth, Brooke’s story is about far more than her short foray on reality TV.

Our conversation covers her childhood, her identity and her love of her job as a youth worker.

If you love Brooke as much as we do, find her on Instagram @brooke.blurton. We are @shamelesspodcast!
