Unleashed

Cath is back on the dating scene and the icks are immediate. From men with necklaces, to gym selfies, and those who won't ask a single question, she's compiled a list of what makes a man instantly undateable. Meanwhile, Sally wants to talk about the towel system in your house. Are you a towel dictator, or is it a free-for-all? And why are all the midlife women putting vaginal oestrogen on their faces? Dr Ginni is here to debunk the Tik Tok trend. Finally, the bush is back and Mary has questions.

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?

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.

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.

At some point you look in the mirror and realise gravity has come for your face. Bruna's pretty miffed no one warned her. Meanwhile, should you be with one person for the rest of your life? Because Grace has some ground rules - like if her husband replaces her, she'll come back as a ghost and haunt his d*ck. And what did you get up to to when your parents weren't looking? Sally stole a library book from the nuns and still feels guilty, and Grace spat in her mums face washer. And finally, Producer Mia needs some advice after a designer jacket situation at work goes horribly wrong. Lets just say the office "free table" is involved.In your ears today: Grace Lam, Bruna Papandrea, Sally Hepworth and Cath MahoneyThe End Bits:Follow us on Instagram, DM us thoughts, feelings and questions @unleashed.showLove the show?

A ticket to the Oscars, a real estate agent gone wrong, and an emotional cup of tea.Bruna casually prepares to go to the Oscars. Meanwhile at home, Ginni has beef with people that take their shoes off in houses. Grace has some feedback for a real-estate agent, and Cath pays $140 to drink a cup of tea, sit in a circle and cry with strangers. Then we remember the first concert we went to - with a surprising result.In your ears today: Cathrine Mahoney, Bruna Papandrea, Grace Lam and Ginni Mansberg The End Bits:Follow us on Instagram: @unleashed.showLove the show?

How many psychics is too many psychics? Cath has reached the point where she needs a Chat GPT spreadsheet to track them all. Mary confirms - with evidence - that her mother has never given a blowjob. Bruna joins a wellness cult called 75 Hard, but she still can’t find time for a shower. Grace’s clairvoyant spat water all over her to exorcise a ghost. Sadly, it didn't work for Bruna when the ghost of Princess Diana turned up in her bedroom. Plus, a miracle church, and the lengths we go to for love, for family, and for the sisterhood.In your ears today: Cathrine Mahoney, Bruna Papandrea, Grace Lam and Mary Coustas.The End Bits:Follow us on Instagram: @unleashed.showLove the show?

The antidote to the bin-fire of right now. Forget inspirational life coach energy. Forget toxic positivity. This is the show for the woman who is tired of being a human doormat, sick of being told to get in the bin, and currently eating her body weight in Greek yogurt because someone on Instagram said protein is the answer and honestly...to what?  From the brain (and slightly unhinged vision board) of Mia Freedman comes a podcast that’s not inspirational even in the slightest. You don’t need to learn anything or remember anything either. Just turn up. Join your smartest, most brilliant friends; Sally Hepworth, Mary Coustas, Bruna Papandrea, Grace Lam, Cathrine Mahoney, and Dr Ginni Mansberg for a bit of distraction, some helpful things, and a laugh. Produced by Mia Freedman, who now owns a hat with PRODUCER written on it in very large font. Launching Feb 3. New eps every Tuesday. Tell your group chat. Send it to your sister. Recommend it aggressively to the friend who says “I don’t really listen to podcasts”. She's an idiot. Follow the chaos on Instagram: @unleashed.showFollow on Apple Podcasts and SpotifyAnd if you are ready to get unhinged with us, leave a review.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
