About this listen

LET’S TALK ABOUT EX, BABY! AH CRAPPY RELATIONSHIPS, THE BANE OF OUR COLLECTIVE EXISTENCE. BUT WHAT DO WE LEARN FROM OUR MISTAKES? Former relationship columnist Elizabeth Best and current all-round funny guy Tom Harris chat to guests about the couple fail stories we all like to recount over drinks (because let’s face it, sometimes we need booze to cope). Ghosts of Boyfriends past will take you on a journey through the funny, tragic, horrifying and sometimes just plain bonkers stories about that crazy little thing called love, and try to wind up wiser for it. It’s like a group therapy session... with two people completely unqualified to be leading it.

  • Nadia and the House Two Doors Down
    Jul 23 2025

    They were best friends—the kind who text all day, laugh until they cry, and show up for each other in every chapter of life. Miranda was a bridesmaid at Nadia’s wedding. She stood up in front of the crowd and called Nadia her sister. So when Nadia moved two doors down from Miranda’s house, it felt like the natural next step. Why wouldn’t you want to live near your soul friend? But then… something shifted.


    Invitations stopped coming. Texts went unanswered. Nadia couldn’t name what had changed—but she could feel it. And then came the moment that confirmed everything: they saw each other at a mutual event, and when Miranda locked eyes with Nadia, her face didn’t light up. It fell.


    In this episode, Nadia shares the slow, confusing heartbreak of losing a friend who once felt like family.


    NADIA MAHJOURI is a Moroccan Australian writer, counsellor, and group facilitator specialising in maternal mental health. Her professional background is in health policy, governance and academia, where her research focused on ethics and feminist philosophy.


    Nadia and her husband live in Hobart/nipaluna with varying combinations of their family which includes three young adults, two school-aged children and a black labrador puppy called Russell Sprout.


    She is the host of The Whole Truth: Motherhood and the Writing Life. In this podcast, Nadia interviews authors about how they manage to keep writing while living in the messy middle of family life, work and creativity.


    Half Truth is her debut novel. You can find her at nadiamahjouri.com or @nadiamahjouriauthor
