  • Making friends with movie stars w/ Damon Herriman

    This week on The Friend Request, Chloe Maddren is joined by an Award winning Aussie actor, known best from the hit tv show, Mr Inbetween and most recently, Michael Shanks’ film Together with Alison Brie and Dave Franco. 

    Damon and Chloe kick the episode off with a new, only somewhat infuriating word association game that is guaranteed to bond near strangers. They talk about how to make friends with the most famous people on earth (don’t) and Chloe admits she’ll bring on her own downfall when she gets her big break.

  • My sister decides if am I the a**hole w/ Nikita Maddren

    Hello hello it’s Sunday! I think I want to put out episodes Sundays and Wednesdays now but pls let me know if you have a preference!

    Amongst the solo episodes where I’m BLABBERING ALL ALONE, I thought it could be fun to sprinkle in a few ‘phone a friend’ where I either call a friend to discuss reddit stories or even potentially have a listener phone call so we can really get into their stories!!

    This week I’m joined on the phone by one of my wonderful sisters, Nikita Maddren and we talk about whether or not it’s okay to demand your friends site their sources!! In this day or misinformation, is this helpful or just annoying??

    Tell me what you think! And of course, let me know if you want to be on the pod!!

    See you later this week with another special guest episode… lil hint - he’s a bit of a movie star!!

  • Making my friend plan my wedding w/ Cameron Duggan

    This week I had another one of my best friends join me, brilliant stand up comedian and return guest, former host of the mugg off, Cameron Duggan!

    I pretty much spent the whole episode trying to make him plan my wedding! He begrudgingly obliged. We chatted wedding etiquette, wedding drama and whether or not it is okay to go to a wedding without a gift… and we included a reddit story and a sleepover game or two.

  • SOLO: Am I The Asshole? Friendship Edition

    Hellooo again Requesties!! I’m back again with a solo ep (SORRY FOR MISSING A WEEK, gunna blame the short month? Or my being useless).

    On today’s episode we get a lil update from a listener and I go through a couple of juicy Reddit stories. 

    One is from Am I The Asshole? about a mum who doesn’t want her son playing with his friend because the other mum won’t evenly split hosting time. The other is from Am I Overreacting? where someone lives my nightmare and runs into an ex-friend under the worst circumstances.

    We’re talking ghosting, parenting politics, petty payback, friendship boundaries and whether being a “petty bitch” is sometimes justified. ENJOY!!
