3# How I Work

Sandra Sully, news presenter, journalist and editor for Syndey’s 10 News First, chats to amazing women from all walks of life about what motivates them, stresses them and what really matters.
5# Too Peas In A Pod

6# Art Of Decluttering
It happens to all of us. Sometimes we forget and our homes become cluttered and disorganised. Amy Revell and Kirsty Farrugia are here to help as Professional Organisers and they chat about how they keep their homes in tip-top shape.
7# Lemonade
When life gives you lemons, make lemonade, right? Elizabeth Anile, journalist, writer, blogger, TV producer and mum checks in with a wide range of incredible guests to discuss their journey, what lessons they learnt on the way and how they got to drinking limoncello on the other side.
8# The Gays Are Revolting
The weekly news source for the contemporary gays, full of bawdy lovemaking stories, trivial pop culture nonsense without all the “hetero hoopla.”
9# Aunty Donna
Another trio of hilarious guys who have somehow managed to pack all their absurdism, mannerisms and surrealism into one podcast. This one’s perfect for the whole family.
10# Loose Units
Based on the thrilling book, the podcast involves Paul and John Verhoeven delving into real-life cases deemed either too “surreal, brief or contentious to fit into the book”.
There’s a wide range of topics and genres to explore throughout this year with a few notable ones from our previous list such as ‘Better Than Yesterday, With Osher Günsberg’ and ‘Loose Units’ most likely going to make headways, but be sure to check out some of our new additions to the list with ‘Lemonade’, ‘Australian True Crime’ and more.
