Long distance relationships. For those who have ever had one, you know it can be hard work. There’s a lot of lonely nights, long phone calls, planning and travelling. But there’s also that excitement factor when you get to see that person you love afte...

The Secret Life Of Us

Exes. We’ve all had one and we’ve all been one. And while breakups can be painful and heart-breaking, a complete surprise or a total relief, there’s always a story to be told. 
This documentary-style series, narrated by Georgia Love, brings you a collection of unconventional stories about relationships past, through the eyes and the hearts of the very people who lived them.
Tales of public humiliation and prison to forbidden love and funerals; we bring you the good, the bad and all the juicy details in between.
Everyone Has An Ex explores the deep intricacies of relationships, the curve-balls life throws at you and overcoming adversity through resilience, honesty and a few glasses of wine.

Documentary

The age of online dating. It certainly has its ups and downs. Sure, it takes away a bit of that face-to-face connection you’d get meeting someone at a bar. But it also means you don’t have to be in the same bar as someone to meet them. There’s a whole world full of options right at your fingertips. And it allowed Sophie to meet Stelios.
And it’s a normal way to meet someone. Gone are the days of being concerned about creeps lurking in dark rooms on their keyboards, or embarrassment about connecting with someone through a screen. These days, you know who people are when you speak to them online...don’t you?

Too Good To Be True

They say love is blind, but do we ever really listen? Because in those first precious moments with a new love, where you’re sharing stories, trading secrets and talking for hours on end, you truly think there’s nothing that will shake that unbreakable bond. And that was the case for Rachel and Ben.  
But dear listener, no matter how many hours you spend talking, or how many truths be told, can you ever really truly know someone? Because some parts will always remain hidden…sometimes in deep, dark corners….and sometimes, in plain sight, just waiting to be found.
CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains extremely adult themes, dealing with drug use and suicidal ideation and child abuse. Listener discretion is advised.

In Plain Sight

Love bombing. We’ve all heard of it. When, right at the start of a relationship, one party bombs the other with so much love, attention and romance, the other just can’t resist.
And for Stella, there was even an added layer that it came from her high school sweetheart.
But while those seemingly innocent gestures may make you feel warm and sparkly in the beginning, there’s nothing innocent about them at all. That love and attention turns into control and manipulation…and the romance, into gaslighting and abuse.

Obsession

Urban Myths. A story or statement that is not true, but is often repeated and believed by many. Some people believe the idea of a soul mate to be one of these urban myths. That there’s one person on this planet meant for each of us. Well according to Steve, this concept was as real as they come.
But what about that other urban myth….you know the one where you put a frog in a pot of water and when you gradually heat it, the frog will stay there, not realising it’s getting hot until it boils to death. Small changes that build up to big ones and by that stage, you just don’t know how to get out…

One & Only

America. The land of the free. There’s always been an unofficial rite of passage for single Aussie twenty-somethings to live it up in the country that rom-coms and Sex & The City made oh-so-appealing. But as the age old story goes, isn’t it always the way that when you plan on being single, the universe has other ideas. 
But the thing about stories is that they can take on many forms. And sometimes, what may start out as a love story, can oh so suddenly, turn into a ghost story.
