About this listen

Awarded the Best Comedy Podcast 2024, and 2023 nominee for the Australian Podcast Awards, Shanelle Franklin and Tamara Linke bring you The Beautiful Nightmare.


You’re perfectly imperfect, overworked and seriously misunderstood. You’ve got the shits with your family, your boss is a ‘Grade A Dick’ and all you want is to sail away with Pink to a deserted island and eat sourdough. Bliss! Oh don’t forget self-care – add it to the bloody list. Shanelle and Tamara navigate the steep learning curve of life’s shit storm, giving you permission to stop, feel heard, and pour your beverage of choice.


Spoken with humour, heart and truth, it’s survival of the fittest and nobody’s winning. If laughter is your tonic and some A-Grade BS is your thing- this podcast is for you.

    Titbits- it's the bite sized podcast that takes the Mickey Bliss out of a top trending story.

    Shanelle and Tamara team up with lifestyle page Mum's Lounge to bring you the number one story of the week. From stories of colossal embarrassment to blood boiling injustice, the gals discuss, judge (not much) and call it where it lies. Episodes drop every Thursday.


    Please don't eat these chips. They might kill you.

    Aug 11 2025
    Ever made intense eye contact with a stranger while trying to parallel park? Stood awkwardly against the wall at a Bounce party”? Or said something weird to your gym instructor whilst puffing and panting? In this episode, we dive deep into the world of awkward adult interactions. We unpack the unspoken rules of adult socialising (spoiler: no one knows them) and confess our most mortifying encounters.
