  • 'I Think I’ve Outgrown My Husband... Now What?'
    Mar 30 2026

    What happens when your life - and marriage - looks fine on paper....but you feel like you've outgrown it? That's the very real problem we're Unleashing on this week.

    Meanwhile, the 90's nearly killed us. Bruna used be a full-blown party girl (including near-death experiences), but now she’s in bed by 9pm. Mary dreams of long, late European dinners but even she's leaving the children's New Years Eve fireworks before they've finished. And Cath once flashed her whole bush to a rave.... but now she just raves about getting into bed early. What happened?

    Then, Ginny suspects a friend has committed the ultimate betrayal: recipe sabotage. With missing ingredients and possibly fake instructions, we launch a full investigation into whether some women just… don’t share.

    Plus, the medical chat that has taken over the group chat — are we all walking around with a “sausage of poo”… and what exactly are we meant to do about it?

    In your ears today: Mary Coustas, Bruna Papandrea, Dr Ginni Mansberg and Cath Mahoney

  • 'Mum's Discovered Sex And I Cannot Un-Know The Things'
    Mar 23 2026

    Camping? Meditation? Marathons?! Absolutely not.

    Mary Coustas is calling for the Unleashed anti-bucket list - the things we are officially opting out of for life. Meanwhile, Sally ticks off a major life milestone… and with it comes a deeply unsettling realisation: she is the adult now. Plus, the time Bruna got fired as a bridesmaid, and Mary got sacked for standing her Greek ground.

    And in very sad news, Sally shares the loss of her family dog Hannah, and why losing a pet unlocks a very deep and unique kind of grief.

    In your ears today: Sally Hepworth, Cath Mahoney, Mary Coustas and Bruna Papandrea

  • Bruna Went To The Oscars and She's Got Gossip
    Mar 19 2026

    She's just got off a plane from the Oscars so yeah, we have questions.

    What’s it actually like inside the Academy Awards? In this special bonus episode, Bruna Papandrea tells us everything: from the red carpet to the toilets, the snack boxes, and some deeply weird behaviour during "In Memoriam."

    We revel in the glamour! The showbiz! The stars!

    And then Bruna reveals the devastating truth: she didn't tell a single Hollywood soul about this podcast.

    In your ears today: Bruna Papandrea, Sally Hepworth, Mary Coustas and Cath Mahoney
