In this episode of Untidy, Matilda and Hannah chat to Petra Bagust, a legend of New Zealand TV, radio and podcasting, and an advocate for living her neurodiverse life out loud. If you grew up in 90s Aotearoa, you’ll know the nostalgia of Ice TV, where Petra cut her teeth creating the culturally iconic show. 30 years on, Petra is one of New Zealand’s most beloved broadcasters, presenters, a media chaplain, and the voice behind two successful podcasts, the award-winning ‘Grey Areas’ and the soulful ‘Sunday Sanctuary’.

In this conversation, Petra takes us behind the scenes of her career as she balanced work, family, and motherhood, and discusses her personal journey with ADHD. She talks about her adult diagnosis, how her son’s journey began her own, and what it’s meant to reframe parts of herself she now understands from a wider perspective. From grief to self-compassion, masking to unmasking, and the collision of ADHD with her ‘second spring’ of perimenopause, Petra brings her signature authenticity, spirit, and mana to a kōrero so many will find relatable.

In this episode of Untidy, Matilda and Hannah start out with a plan and run gleefully in the other direction. They park up in Matty’s Medical Corner for some interesting but entirely unqualified health diagnoses, coin a term for being in public just wearing your own face, and catch up on the organised chaos amply provided by each of their offspring.

There’s chat of house parties, hangovers, and the diabolical evidence of Matty’s last big night out, which was kindly recorded for perpetuity on Paula Bennett’s podcast (linked in show notes).

In a love letter to female friendships, Hannah’s survived her first ‘fight’ with her Pilates Partner, thanks to an emergency meeting of the Coven in the War Room amid a cloud of burning sage, curated playlist, and a variety of cheeses.

As always, underqualified and oversharing ... served with a side of disclaimers! Happy listening, Untidy fam!

In this episode of Untidy, Matilda and Hannah chat to Matty McLean (or, as he would prefer ... ‘Pockets’). Best known for his years on Breakfast, Matty is a co-host on The Hits Drive with our very own Matilda Green, as well as a co-host on ‘Out the Gayte’ podcast. He’s been a weather presenter, a news reporter, and even took out Celebrity Treasure Island. This chat is full of the signature warmth, humour, and hard-won wisdom Matty is known and loved for.

He shares what it’s taken to truly back himself in his career, how he’s navigated the expectations that come with being a familiar face, and why you’ve got to speak up when you really want something. Matty shares what it means to him to live authentically, the power of sharing your story, and the profound impact visibility can have on those that are watching and listening, especially our kids.

In a little friendly rivalry, Matty and Hannah (Bean) go head-to-head in a ‘Battle of the Co-Hosts’. Things get competitive ...

Whether you know him as Matty, Matt, or Pockets, this one’s full of earnest insights, and garnished with giggles.

In this episode of Untidy, Matilda and Hannah show up with raw faces and ready for bed! Loving a segue, as they do, this leads seamlessly into a chat to unpack the revelation of Matty’s face sculpting and facing the question of if, when, or, under what conditions one should consider a little bit of Botox. Will they be the only wrinkly grannies left standing, or can we make aging cool again whilst lead an aggressive sombrero movement?

They enjoy some secondary satisfaction courtesy of Matty’s home organisers and her new life as a woman with labelled jars in her pantry, debate what Buster wants more – a puppy or peace, and take an unscheduled detour into the rise and fall of wet nursing.

It’s your classic unhinged evening record!

Come for the glow worms, stay for the rants! In this episode of Untidy, Hannah’s dialling in from the road, three-quarters deep into a 12-night solo parenting road trip around Northland, while Matty’s enforcing home renos by pulling the place apart.

But, it’s not all laughs and sandboarding, as the girls get stuck into discussing the motherhood penalty after receiving a gut-punch of an email from a listener echoing the the reality of so many women juggling caregiving with careers. The rage is real. So is the systemic failure.

In a loop back to serendipity, the girls chat about how some of life’s greatest gifts come in the weirdest packaging and end on a sexy sidebar salivating over storage solutions.
