This week, we’re joined by Dr. Anthony Chaffee — medicaldoctor, podcaster, and unapologetic carnivore — for a meaty chat about health, hormones, and why your kale smoothie might secretly hate you.

We cover everything from fertility and PCOS to digestion, fat as fuel, and why meat provides every essential nutrient your body needs. Dr. Chaffee breaks down plant toxins, sugaraddiction, and the surprising science behind why humans were built to thrive on steak—not cereal.

Rynae shares her carnivore challenge results, Alex nerds out on the biology, and Lucy… just wants to know if wine still counts as a plant.

It’s bold, brilliant, and just what the doctor ordered.

Welcome to Wiser With Wine — Halloween Edition, where the only spirits we trust come in a bottle.

This week, we’re diving headfirst into Halloween — from its ancient Celtic roots to today’s billion-dollar costume chaos. We unpack why Aussies suddenly decided it’s a thing, whether “slutty nurse” costumes are still in rotation, and which one of us would die first in a zombie apocalypse.

We also chat the pop culture takeover — from Hocus Pocus to The Exorcist, and how social media made Halloween the Olympics of overdecorating. Plus, we explore the psychology of fear: why do we love being scared, and are horror fans secretly the most resilient?

Grab your broomsticks (and a bottle of red) — it’s our spookiest, sassiest episode yet. 🧙‍♀️🍷

We’re throwing it back to the golden age of TV — when sitcoms ruled, theme songs slapped, and RAGE on the ABC at 2am was the only way to discover new music. From Friends and Full House to Buffy and The Sopranos, we’re reliving theshows that shaped our childhoods and warped our sense of humour. 

Then we shift gears into fashion flashbacks — think Von Dutch, leather pants, surf brands, and platform shoes we never learnt to walk in.

Plus, in this week’s Watch Sip Repeat, we review Department Q — with all the drama, crime, and chaos we love.

Nostalgia served with a side of sass — because nothing ages finer than 90's TV, a leather jacket and good wine. 🍷

In Episode 21, we sit down with Tina Lewis — a friend, a mum of two, and a breast cancer survivor — during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Did you know 1 in 7 Australian womenwill be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime?

We start light — family, daughters, Swedish life and identity — before going deeply into Tina’s cancer journey: the moment she knew, the emotional rollercoaster and the unexpected strength she discovered. We talk about how she held it together when the world didn’t, who showed up for her, and how survivorship reshaped her life, relationships, and priorities.

This is a conversation of courage, tears, laughter, and hope — a reminder that even in darkness, there’s life, love, and resilient light.

In this week's episode, Rynae reviews Alex's famous margaritas while we deep-dive The Hunting Wives.  From Margo’s messy love life to Sophie’s slow-motion breakdown, we unpack every wild twist—governors, guns, and guiltyconsciences included.

We debate it all: feminist icons or wine-drunk chaos? Empowerment or obsession? And, most importantly—would we move to Maple Grove… or run like hell?

Grab a drink (preferably a margarita) and join us as we sip, speculate, and scream at the screen.

This week we’re joined by Michael “Mickey” Lenderick—legendary dad of four daughters, netball coach, and the guy behind RentWA (yes, the one with the epic Christmas parties at his house).

Mickey tells us what it’s really like running a family business—building a strong team culture, throwing next-level staff parties, and even giving in to the tech upgrades he never wanted but knew the business needed. He also gets honest about his tough childhood, how that shaped him, and the advice he wishes more new business owners would hear.

Of course, we couldn’t resist diving into dad life: learning to do ponytails under pressure, coaching the netball team, and his hilarious take on how men and women communicate (spoiler: not the same language). And then Mickey shares a moving family story—discovering siblings he never knew existed until after his mum passed away.

It’s raw, it’s funny, it’s real—and exactly the kind of chat we love having on Wiser with Wine.

In this episode, we tackle the big love–hate relationship we all have with technology. From parenting with iPads as the “automatic babysitter” to navigating screen time, creativity, and cyberbullying, we explore how tech is shaping our kids—for better and worse.

We chat about the positives too: kids building virtual bonds with family, developing digital literacy, and learning independence online. But we also unpack thedownsides—like sleep issues, social isolation, musculoskeletal problems, andthose phones dirtier than a public toilet seat.

And it’s not just the kids—adults aren’t off the hook. From modern dating apps to getting lost on Google Maps (or refusing to use it), late-night online shopping sprees, and the way mobiles have ruined parking skills, we spill on our own tech fails too. 

This one’s for every parent trying to balance the blessings and curses of raising kids—and living life—in the digital age.

This week we welcome Perth’s ultimate platter queens, Peyton & Renée from Guilty Grazing. The mother–daughter duo spill on how they turned a love of entertaining into one of WA’s most drool-worthy grazing board businesses—and what it’s really like to work together as family.

We chat about flavour fails and perfectionist tendencies, before diving into the business side: building a brand, sourcing local produce, and dream events they’d love tocreate for.

Then it’s onto brunch—the best meal of the week (don’t fight us on this). We cover why we’re obsessed with it, and sip our way through Prosecco vs Cava, complete with tasting notes, food pairings, and a few travel stories.

Expect plenty of laughs, platter inspo, and bubbles talk that’ll have you craving mimosas by 10am.

In Part 2 of our motherhood series, we dive deeper into life after baby—when marriages shift, family dynamics change, and the reality of motherhood looks very different fromthe expectation. We ask the big questions: what parts of our pre-kid lives do we mourn the most, and how do we rebuild a sense of balance in the chaos?

We also look at the research. Dr. Erica Komisar shares her insights on raising boys, the impact of daycare, and how parents’ careers shape their children. Dr. Anna Machin explores gender roles in parenting and what those differences mean for kids.

This is an honest, thoughtful, and sometimes confronting look at the evolving role of being a mum—and how it reshapes not just us, but everyone around us.
