December 11, 2022 06: not so hospitable
on today’s episode, we have an important discussion with the brilliant + ultra groovy jamie burcide, founder of ‘not so hospitable', a website accepting anonymous testimonials and helping to spread awareness and accountability within hospitality in south australia. We talk about the dark side of ‘working in hospo’, and all the factors that make it a sector notorious for workplace misconduct and harassment. jamie has undertaken grass roots research into this topic,has a wealth of experience in the industry, and sheds some important light on the realities of these deep rooted problems.

October 03, 2022 04: unsolicited life advice
we’re in our early-mid 20’s, and life is starting to feel quite complicated.

responsibilities, friendships, relationships, careers, making decisions, and questioning them - it’s all a lot tbh.
sometimes, it feels like the only semblance of sanity and peace is that little motivational quote that we stuck to our mirror in year 10 or that infographic on instagram that reeks of wisdom and clarity.
in today’s ep, we pull apart these cliche words of wisdom, and judge (with all of our authority) their helpfulness.

disclaimer: the advice discussed in this episode is general in nature and does not apply to each unique situation. we cannot claim any responsibility for actions taken in response. we also acknowledge that the content of this episode should not be applied to situations involving abusive relationships or mental illness. please seek professional advice if this discussion causes you any concern.

August 25, 2022 00: intro
welcome to the softpod; a soft place for hard conversations.
we can’t offer much but good quality dinner party conversations. if you don’t like the content, at least you can talk about how much you hate it! ☆ﾟ.*･｡ﾟ
fyi, striking the perfect balance between fun and informative in a 5 min intro is hard yakka. poor producer elliot had to take the reins on this one and ban us from recording more versions - so sit back and enjoy the only take that we could bear to deal with.
