    It’s been a rollercoaster week for Australian women with an outcry about our safety after the Westfield Bondi Junction tragedy was paired with the relief after the long-awaited verdict, the Bruce Lehrmann defamation case. We unpack.

    Plus, is it hot in here? Why so many women are deep in romantasy novels involving faeries (yep... that's how the books are spelling it) and some very sexy scenes. Claire Murphy shares a sultry taste of what you're missing out on.

    And, Em Ratajkowski is empowering women to change the narrative of divorce, by turning their engagement rings into a new piece of jewellery. So who does the jewellery "belongs to" and what other women have done post divorce?

    Australians are grieving the unthinkable acts that took place at Westfield Bondi Junction over the weekend. We discuss why this feels so close to home for so many of us. 

    Plus, the verdict's in for Bruce Lehrmann's defamation case. But what's really at the heart of today's news is the ongoing pursuit of justice for Lisa Wilkinson and Brittany Higgins.

    And, on a lighter note, Clare Stephens has gone deep into the chaotic rebranding of former Dance Moms star Jojo Siwa, or rather the "CFO of gay pop". Confused? Don't worry we'll fill you in.

Sophiefran ,

Great listen but

I love this pod and listen to every ep, but when either Holly, Mia or Jesse are away I feel as though the podcast should just be done with the two regular hosts instead of putting someone else into the mix as it doesn’t flow as well and is not as enjoyable to listen to.

Jaymie17 ,

Stop making the Bondi tragedy about you!!

The episode on the Bondi tragedy was absolutely disgusting this horrific tragedy has nothing to do with you stop trying to relate or make it about yourselves. Just because you live close by or have a baby too doesn’t make this about you - it’s about the victims. How appalling this was aired.

CCCrackers ,

Constantly missing the mark

They made the most recent episode about themselves, that they have babies and live close to Bondi junction. It enraged me, I can only imagine how much it would anger the families of the people who have passed. I don’t even know how it is possible that they could be so disrespectful. I’ve been thinking for a while about how self centred they are but this is a whole new level. Grateful for apple to give me the opportunity to rate it a 1
