Welcome to Good Sheila, the podcast that will turn your stomach and warm your heart as we reflect on what makes all of us tick. Bron, a Melbourne comedian, and Claire, a human-rights lawyer are long-time friends, short-time mums, and life-time dickheads. Each episode we tackle something in the media, as well as something in life that had kicked us in the guts. Frank, funny and fearless- we're all good sheilas.

The joys and horrors of competitiveness, and Claire's bad tattoos
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 downfall of Taylor Swift, gentle parenting and the Nutbush
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!

Finding energy, the rise of the influencer and aquatic wildlife
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!

Millionaire self care, disappearing sheilas and bad news blokes
Hello! We're in the studio! We're a bit cross! We talk about our disappearing act on the request of a few listeners- and why it's all going to be ok, in the studio, forever. We're talking about a woman who has it all, if paying $7000 on laser treatments, sculpting and nail salons can be considered self care. Finally, we talk about some violating recent experiences that have left us feeling both outraged and exhausted. Is anything going to change? Will we stop having so many kids? Why are we yelling? Strap yourselves in x

The end of middle age and projecting on our kids
We're in a professional studio! We're in the same city! We're back! Holy dooley! Today we talk middle age- are we allowed to have it? What does it mean if it's dead? Do we get a purple rinse perm and lovely loose linens, or do we have to be young forever? We also look at parents projecting on our kids- what does it mean when we're pushing our issues on them? Should we protect them from our own mistakes? Or do we just let them find their own way? Strap yourselves in!
