Then she ended up with actual poop on her hands walking the family dogs. Cath did a full CSI-style deep clean before a friend came to stay, and Ginni confessed she is, unsettlingly, guest-ready at all times, no cleaning frenzy required. Oh, and Bruna has given herself a new job title. Plus: the exact age science says is the unhappiest of your whole life, and why one of them is only one year off it.

  Apparently You Can Injure Yourself By Yawning. This Is Getting Ridiculous 07.09.2026 41min

  The Unleashed hosts have a movie pitch for Bruna and she is extremely underwhelmed. Georgie can't open a bottle of milk anymore without her wrist giving out. Ginni explains the real reason your jaw can seize up over something as small as a yawn. Bruna reveals her plan for the ultimate girls' commune, right down to the house rules. Plus, the noise that apparently ends your husband's chances tonight, a retirement plan built entirely around gossip, and a listener whose almost-moment in the kitchen got a lot more attention than she wanted.

  I Know The Day My Mum Is Going To Die: Ginni’s Story Part 1 04.09.2026 33min

  We talk a lot about getting older. Usually, we’re here for a laugh, because God knows we need one. But sometimes, at this stage of life, we also need to have a cry.

  I Invited William And Kate To My Wedding 17.08.2026 39min

  Cath is getting her formal!! Democracy has won.  Buy tickets to The Spring Fling.  The Unleashed family is growing, with a new voice joining the couch: Georgie Page. And she’s joining with some cracking stories, including the time she sent her actual wedding invite to actual royalty… and then made the fatal mistake of reading the comments. Mary got run over as a kid, sort of, and her reaction still haunts her. Grace heard one podcast episode and nearly torched her marriage over a park ban. And Cath blanked so hard at the mechanic she just started announcing her hormones to strangers. Plus: the pub comeback Cath still high-fives herself for, the neighbour note that ended Georgie's singing career, and the cafe comment about Mary's "granddaughter" that we will never, ever let go.

  Mad Mabel Is A Real Woman And We Have So Many Questions 03.08.2026 45min

  Sally's ex sent an accidental message that has us all cringing, and now she has to decide if bailing him out of humiliation is still her job. Ginni puts the whole midlife supplement stack under the microscope, plus the "Enhanced Games" scam nobody saw coming. There's also a proper gut-punch listener dilemma this week: what do you do when your dead mum's estranged family wants a separate goodbye? Grace has some very personal advice to share on that one.

  Or keep your mouth shut and wait for the whole thing to implode? Mary learned that telling the truth can come back to bite you. Meanwhile, Cath went heavy petting in a 12th-century graveyard and Grace got caught mid-pash with her knickers around her ankles and a pack of wild dogs closing in.

  I Pashed Robbie Williams But I Have No Proof 20.07.2026 41min

  In a time before social media, before camera phones and before anyone could prove anything, one of us had a toilet-line kiss with Robbie Williams. And somehow, that is not even the funniest celebrity story in this episode. Sally says there is a childhood trend directly linked to her declining mental health. Mary once thought she was pregnant at eight years old. Bruna takes aim at the myth that women vanish after 40. And a very spicy problem involving an affair, a soulmate and one dinner table nobody wants to sit at. Plus... Cath never went to a formal, so should we throw her one?

  Never Look At A Married Man's Google Search 29.06.2026 40min

  Mary accidentally glimpsed a married man's Google search and now she has to pretend to be blind for the rest of her life. Bruna has discovered boxing, and has the Rocky song in her head and a very specific enemy face on the bag. Sally admits she may have cheated at Wordle for family reasons. Cath's driving instructor kept a wooden ruler on his lap, which feels less like a lesson and more like a minor crime. And after Bruna admits to escaping a wellness retreat, Sally rings ones to ask the thing no one else was brave enough to: how often do people run for their lives? Also, why tiny joys are the ones we hold onto, and one adult son who moved back home and started treating the place like a hotel.

  EXTRA: Grace Lam Has An Idiot Allergy 25.06.2026 49min

  For over 25 years Grace Lam lived inside the glossy world of fashion, including as a Vogue editor. Then hormones kicked down the door and blew up her life. In this MID conversation with Holly Wainwright, Grace gets incredibly real about what that identity crisis actually felt like, and how she went from the fashion front row to the Western Australian Senate, fighting for institutions to finally catch up to women's health needs. Grace is sharp, funny, no-BS, and gloriously sweary. It’s honest, a little bit raw, and a masterclass in turning perimenopause misery into a loud, important movement.  This episode originally aired on MID.

  I Escaped a Wellness Retreat Before Breakfast 22.06.2026 40min

  An expensive wellness retreat was booked. A quiet, nourishing reset was planned. But no TV and no phone? Bruna said..no thanks. Speaking of wellness, Mary claims she cured her warts with witchcraft, and Dr Ginni has some...scientific questions. Creatine is the midlife supplement we hear about more than any, so what does the good Doctor have to say? And how far would you go for your bestie? Because Mary went pretty far to get Bruna a filming permit. Plus a dilemma: our Unleashers husband has discovered Facebook Marketplace and is convinced he can flip a commercial deep fryer by Tuesday. So entrepreneurial. Our advice is savage.  In your ears today: Bruna Papandrea, Mary Coustas, Dr Ginni Mansberg and Cath Mahoney. Check out our Unleashed music playlist for some feel good throwbacks!
