Issy and Mel

Being 20-something has its ups and downs but Issy and Mel are here for it all. Just two microphones, a pair of best friends and 18 years of history between them. There aren’t many walls that haven’t been broken down around here, so prepare for plenty of open and reflective conversations. They’re talking dating dilemmas, wholesome heart to hearts, philosophical ramblings and a healthy amount of introspection. Grab a cuppa, and join in at risk of amusement!

    We're BACK and chit chatting about Dating! (+ What 'should' we be doing right now?)

    Welcome to all our friends, new and old, tuning in! We’re so excited to be back behind the microphones, chatting about all the places our minds have wandered over the past few months—gigs, mosh pits, sparkling water, waitressing, and more. We're thinking about: What 'should' we be doing right now? One minute, we’re encouraged to travel as much as possible in our 20s, and the next, we’re being told to wake up at 5AM and climb the corporate ladder. So, how do we deinfluence ourselves from all of the noise? Oh, and let’s not forget about dating. Today, we’re diving into what we think it really means to date with intention.

This is our third year doing this podcast and we're hoping that’s earned us a star rating or review. Please, for the love of sparkling water, show us some love!

    Ask Amusing: I always hear my housemates getting it on, what should I do?

How to tell your friends you can hear them having 'fun' every single night, should you send that third message to your new friend, and how manageable is juggling a part time job and uni for first years?

    Tired, stressed, emotional? Let's catch up

    This time of year has us both feeling a bit emotional, between exam stress, life changes, and even the spice level of hot pot. Mel’s back from her backpacking adventure, ready to share stories from far north Queensland, while Issy preps for end-of-year exams and tackles ways to manage stress. We dive into how big (or small) life changes - or the lack thereof - may influence our emotions. What can our feelings reveal, and how can tuning into them help us to better understand ourselves? Join us for all that and more. Instagram @amusingpodcast_ TikTok @amusingpodcast Don't forget to flick us a star rating or a review to claim some good feelings!
