Claire Hooper chats friendship, school volunteering and walking in clogs

In this episode we unpack Claire's history of getting and erasing terrible tattoos, including incorrect Latin, ex-boyfriends, and backpacks. So cool. We also talk Mamamia's habit of pitting women against each other, and how competitive we can be- and whether this is fun or toxic. Why not both? Strap yourselves in!

The joys and horrors of competitiveness, and Claire's bad tattoos

We're in the studio talking about Taylor- who is Matty Healy, why is she dating him, and why should we care? We also talk gentle parenting, the philosophy driving modern approaches to breeding- are we utilising a good way to raise kind and emotionally regulated people, or are we breeding a fresh generation of lily-livered, self-examining snowflakes? We also pay homage to the magnificent Tina Turner and her mark on modern Australian culture- including salivating over NRL players and the Nutbush dance, which apparently nobody else in the world knows or does at every wedding after half a bottle of cheap savvy b. They're missing out. So are you if you miss this episode. Strap yourselves in!

The downfall of Taylor Swift, gentle parenting and the Nutbush

It's the beginning of MICF and we're feeling a bit silly. We talk about where the heck we find energy in this complicated life, online influencers (all the way back to ancient Rome) and where we can find modern day fulfilment. And also ducks. Strap yourselves in!
