    E020 - The BF of being fine (feat. Dr Max Malev)

    It's only appropriate that for the landmark twentieth episode of BF we have our therapist on to explain why he doesn't wear shoes and convince us of our podcast's charm. In our longest (and coincidentally palindromic) ep to date we discuss Meryl Streep's nerves, luxury on a budget, bulk billing, the pain theory of happiness, podcasting as opprobrium, emotional honesty, how to manage the bears, careers, creativity and the importance of avoiding irony.

    E019 - The BF of the suction device being in the right place

    Victimised by the same 24 hours in a day as everyone else, the BF hosts question the validity of John Wick, dental assistants and the Holy Trinity of eyelash curlers.

    E018 - The BF of late-onset Weebism

    Having returned from Japan, Lucy and Ben give Gigi a rundown of their purchases. They are sort of joined by their new unofficial fact-checker, Gigi's bf (BF).

    E017 - The BF of being twenty-something, cunty and conniving

    It's Benevolent Forces o'clock, do you know where your adult children are? They're reading books on their iPhones, attending their tattoo removal sessions, getting high off going to the supermarket, soothing the ulcers in their mouths, cooking while following recipes, annoying their boyfriends while not following maps, paying for insurance, ordering the kid's spaghetti bolognese and calling their moms. At least that's what Lucy, Gigi and Ben are doing.

    E015 - The BF of bringing a third into your relationship

    Ben returns to the fore with a renewed sense of purpose and (probationary) creative control. Lucy espouses the virtues of self-imposed obligation, Gigi explains why she spent 20 dollars to back up her text messages, and a sordid Christmas story set at Maggie Beer’s private manor is told for the first time on record.

    E014 - The BF of being ripped off, reluctantly at least (feat. Stee)

    Back by debatable demand, Lucy White and Gigi Perry sit down with BF certified Perfect Woman and New Jersey's fondest memory, Stephanie. In a conversation that will remind you what girls sound like (in case you had forgotten) the three detail their short but very ~exclusive time spent perusing 'The Corporate Store' and reach hysterics telling online shopping ghost stories.

    E013 - The BF of nothing being overkill

    This week on Benevolent Forces (spoiler alert/trigger warning) Lucy spends a total of $50, Gigi spends the same amount on a steak (worth it) and Ben's purchases remain a mystery as the women he is so fondly flanked by get into the nitty (perhaps even the gritty) of how they categorise their transactions / the number of bank accounts they each have.
