Show notes

The trial of Lindsay Clancy has made headlines around the world and has sparked countless debates and conversations, some more productive than others.

Abbie found a new op shop book about gender roles!!! This one is called Why Men Don't Listen And Women Can't Read Maps, and of course features complete fabrications about 'caveman times', among many other hilarious takes that attempt to turn sexism into science. Plus a nice, long tangent about cheating and surveillance culture!

MARC FENNELL: How AI Is Already Changing Us Sep 07, 2026

Show notes

Abbie has made it well known on this podcast that she is not a fan of generative AI and LLMs. But, as journalist Marc Fennell found in his new podcast series Unreal, AI is already fundamentally changing the way we relate to each other and understand ourselves. Abbie and Marc talk about why he wanted to focus on human stories, the real-world effects of AI he encountered when making the series, and how they've both had their views challenged by these stories.

NOTE: This episode contains discussions of gun violence, please listen with care.

Is misogyny really that bad? Well, yes, obviously! But now it's not just us screaming into the void. A new study from Melbourne University details the findings of research into the link between misogyny and youth radicalisation in Australia. Abbie has printed it out, gone through with the highlighter, and is here to distill it all to you chooks! The study features some great definitions of what misogyny actually is, plus some shocking stats on the growing generational divides in misogynistic beliefs. Side tangents include how personalised feeds have fucked up how we relate, and a lil meds reminder!!

NMF: Playlists, Triple Lives, and the Lion King Panic Attack Aug 27, 2026

Show notes

Producer Amy has been saving up some quickfire stories and boy oh boy you chooks are outdoing yourselves! You think you've heard it all, and then you hear a story that Joe from 'You' would probably take notes from. Also, sound off in the comments if seeing Ewan McGregor in Trainspotting was a formative experience for you xx

JENNIFER ROBINSON: How Defamation Laws Silence Women Aug 24, 2026

Show notes

Defamation laws have a long and strange history, and in recent years, these laws have been leveraged in order to silence women who attempt to speak out about abuse. In the midst of the cultural reckoning incited by the #MeToo movement, many women across the globe are facing a legal reckoning. This is the central point of the new documentary Silenced. The documentary's main subject is Jennifer Robinson, a human rights lawyer who represented Amber Heard during her testimony in the libel case brought by Johnny Depp against The Sun newspaper. Jennifer and Abbie discuss how defamation is weaponised, what responsibility the media has to prevent violence against women, and Abbie's personal regret in the way she engaged with the media circus around Amber Heard's legal battles.
