  • Pour One Out for the Dead Man

    Ruh-roh! You didn't think we were done with Halloween just yet, did you? In an episode guaranteed to make you giggle, Emma, Julia, Mia and Ollie share stories from their best and worst Halloweens, journal prompts to embrace your inner child and Microsoft Paint tributes to the departed. Along the way they address some of life's big questions, such as: Why are women's interests so often dismissed as trivial? Can it ever be a compliment to be told you're just like your dad? And when does childhood truly end?

  • More Treat for Your Trick

    The Language Café, you have to stop. Your costume ideas are too inspired. Your veil too thin. Your metro station is too haunted. They'll kill you.

    Join Rahel, Natalia, Daniel and Paula for this pre-Halloween episode and learn all about the merits of using melons as jack-o'-lanterns, the beauty to be found in post-mortem arts and crafts, and the side effects of empathising with Wham! year-round.

  • If I Was a Horseshoe Crab, Would You Still Love Me and Give Me Tequila??

    In this week's episode, Paula, David, Julia and Natalia came together to talk about everything on their minds. From childhood bedrooms, nursery rhymes, penguins to important philosophical questions. Like, reincarnation into a horseshoe crab. And not to forget, a TLC classic: trying snacks from another country (in this case, the Netherlands!!!!).

  • Life Is Like a Bag of Jolly Ranchers

    On today's episode, two all-new members are initiated into The Language Café's long-standing Sunday tradition of walking into the studio sleepy after partying the night before - please give a very warm welcome to Julia and Daniel! Together with Mia and Paula, they talk LARPing at the car dealership, dispel myths about Norwegians being reclusive, and attempt to navigate the complexities of the Macklemore Renaissance. If you, too, have been curious to find out what happens when a bunch of Europeans try Red 40 for the very first time, this one's for you!

  • Australian Teen TV World Domination

    In this episode of The Language Café, Natalia and Paula take to the studio and embark on a trip down memory lane to discuss all kinds of nostalgic media: from the golden age of reality television, to playing games on the family desktop computer, and tumblr-blogging via your mum's pink iPhone 6. Along the way, we try to answer some of life's big questions, such as: Who was the stylist on Totally Spies? Is pirating a dying art? And is now the time to dream a better dream?
