    Don’t Get Taken: Warning Signs You Don’t Notice Until It’s Too Late

    This week on Girls Next Door, Steph and Holly are having a conversation that every girl travelling overseas needs to hear. After seeing more and more women share frightening encounters while travelling, the girls revisit their own experience in Naples, where a man posing as a taxi driver tried to lead five of them away from the airport and towards an unmarked black van. Looking back now, there were red flags everywhere. They’re also joined by Olivia, an Australian woman whose night out in San Francisco ended in a high-speed crash, gunshots and the terrifying discovery that the man driving the car was on parole for human trafficking. Olivia shares what she remembers, what police told her afterwards and how something as horrific as the crash may have ultimately saved her life. Plus, the Neighbours share their own stories from Milan, South Africa, Bali and Marseille, including being followed through airports, chased by cars and moments where listening to their gut may have made all the difference. This episode isn’t about being scared to travel. It’s about recognising the little warning signs, trusting your instincts and looking out for each other. Key moments Steph & Holly’s Naples Story: The girls revisit the terrifying moment a man posing as a taxi driver tried to lead five of them towards an underground carpark and an unmarked black van, before real taxi drivers intervened and police began chasing him. The Paris Story That Changed Everything: After hearing a viral story about a woman being followed through Paris, Steph and Holly start recognising disturbing similarities between her experience and things they had previously brushed off during their own travels. Olivia’s Call: Olivia shares the extraordinary story of waking up to gunshots after a high-speed crash in San Francisco, only to later discover that the man driving the car was on parole for human trafficking. She explains why police kept telling her she was lucky, why she now considers the crash the best thing that could have happened, and the PTSD that followed. The Neighbours’ Close Calls: Listeners share frightening encounters from Milan, South Africa, Bali and Marseille, including being chased by a car, surrounded inside a shop and followed by the same stranger across multiple locations. The Warning Signs: Across all of the stories, the girls notice recurring patterns including strangers asking seemingly innocent questions, people working in groups, women being used to create trust, fake taxis and Ubers, and people trying to find out whether someone is travelling alone. Travel Without Living in Fear: Steph and Holly finish on why the episode isn’t about telling women not to travel, but about staying aware, protecting personal information, sticking together where possible and trusting your gut when something feels wrong.

    Buller Hookups, Cheating Revenge & One Terrifying Voice Note

    The girls are back after a massive couple of weeks and somehow they’ve returned with destroyed bodies, questionable snowboarding skills and way too much information about what really goes on at Mount Buller. After a Sydney trail run nearly takes Steph’s ankle out, the girls head to Buller with Red Bull for their first proper snowboarding lesson with Olympian Valentino Guseli. Except Val’s version of teaching two complete beginners is apparently skipping the beginner slope, heading straight to the top of the mountain and telling them to just send it. Once they survive the snow, things get even more chaotic. The girls investigate Buller’s hookup culture, snowmances, après, whether snowboarders really have more rizz and why apparently everyone on the mountain has a story. Including one woman who discovered her boyfriend was cheating, confronted him through a very specific game of Never Have I Ever and then got her revenge with his best friend... in a tree. Back in the Letterbox, a European Neighbour wants to know why her Aussie boyfriend refuses to call her babe but happily calls her bro, mate, dawg and cobber, while another Neighbour is being blamed for keeping his job after the mate who helped him get hired was made redundant. Then After Dark gets a little heavier. The girls unpack how to support someone who repeatedly ends up in toxic relationships and Holly opens up about her own experience of not being ready to hear the truth about a past partner. And finally, one of the creepiest Confessions yet. A Neighbour starts receiving urgent voice notes from her mum telling her to come over late at night. She drives to the house, only to discover her mum is asleep, never sent the messages and there is a strange car sitting outside waiting for her. Yeah... change your passwords, Neighbours. Key moments Steph and Holly attempt snowboarding: the girls head to Mount Buller with Red Bull for their first proper lesson with Olympian Valentino Guseli. Val skips the beginner slope entirely: instead of starting on the magic carpet, he takes two complete beginners straight to the top of the mountain and tells them the faster they go, the easier it gets. The girls absolutely eat it: scorpions, face plants, suspected broken wrists, popped shoulders and Val casually doing flips over them while they lie in the snow. The truth about Mount Buller hookup culture: the girls investigate snowmances, après, holiday crushes and whether Buller is secretly Australia's best dating app. Skiers vs snowboarders: the mountain weighs in on who is hotter, who has more rizz and why snowboarders apparently struggle to string a sentence together. The Buller cheating revenge story: one woman discovers her boyfriend has been sleeping around, exposes him during Never Have I Ever and then gets revenge with his best friend... in a tree at the top of the mountain. He calls his girlfriend “cobber”: a European Neighbour is dating an Aussie bloke who refuses to call her babe but happily uses mate, bro, dawg, buddy and cobber. The workplace restructure: a Neighbour gets a job through his mate, only for that mate to later lose his own job and start acting like his friend stole it from him. Helping someone in a toxic relationship: the girls discuss when to speak up, when to back off and why pushing too hard can sometimes make someone defend their partner even more. Holly reflects on her own toxic relationship: Steph explains why she had to wait until Holly was ready to hear the truth, and Holly shares how differently she sees the situation now. The terrifying AI voice note: a Neighbour receives messages in her mum's voice telling her to come over, only to discover her mum is asleep and there is a suspicious car sitting outside waiting for her. The conversation that sets up next week: the deepfake story leads the girls into a much bigger conversation about personal safety, suspicious situations while travelling and the human trafficking episode to come.

    Ana Cannon FINALLY Gets Her Right of Reply on Dan Gorringe

    Dan Gorringe and Ana Cannon have officially entered Girls Next Door… and for Ana’s very first podcast, we’re finally giving her the right of reply. After years of Dan putting his life online, Ana gets her chance to reveal what it’s actually like being married to him. We’re talking questionable tattoos, blue hair ruining their first family holiday photos, screaming about footy while Poppy sleeps, the content voice she cannot stand and the media controversy that had Ana telling Dan, “we’re getting a divorce.” Then, we finally get the REAL story of how Dan and Ana got together… including the tiny detail that Ana originally went to the house to see Dan’s housemate, met Dan and called her mum the next morning to say, “I’ve gone for the wrong one.” They take us through secretly seeing each other, breaking up, Dan heading into Big Brother, finding their way back to each other and eventually becoming parents to Poppy. Plus, we get into their biggest relationship arguments, who apologises first, Dan’s very questionable approach to housework, parenting rules they immediately abandoned, whether baby number two is on the cards and the reality of trying to balance family life with living your life online. And of course, the Neighbours have some dilemmas of their own. Is using your baby as an excuse to skip family events fair game? And should you blow your entire savings on your dream wedding? We finish things off with Dan and Ana facing the media in our first ever post-podcast press conference. Make sure you rate, hit subscribe and send this episode to your friends, because that’s what good Neighbours do.Key moments Ana’s Right of Reply: Ana finally gets the microphone to respond to years of Dan's chaos. The tattoo that sent Ana over the edge: including the enormous Collingwood/Nick Daicos tattoo despite Dan not supporting Collingwood. Dan ruined their first family holiday photos: thanks to his electric blue hair. The controversy that nearly broke Ana: she reveals Dan's media pile-on became so intense she told him, “we’re getting a divorce.” How Dan and Ana REALLY met: Ana went over to see Dan's housemate and immediately realised she'd “gone for the wrong one.” Their secret relationship: sliding into the DMs, seeing each other privately and navigating mutual friends. The breakup that changed Dan's life: Ana questioned what Dan was doing with his life, they broke up, and he applied for Big Brother that same night. Relationship therapy: who apologises first, who holds grudges, their biggest recurring argument and why Dan is constantly on his phone. Parenting Poppy: screens, swearing, 3am drives, their first night as parents and whether they want another baby. Poppy repeating their swear words is particularly funny. Neighbour dilemmas: using your baby to escape family commitments and whether a dream wedding is worth wiping out your savings. The post-match press conference: Ana declares herself best on ground, says Dan hindered her performance and confirms she'd happily return without him.
