Summary

Guess what! We back! After a month off regular programming, we've resumed our normal eps and woweeeee did we have some things to discuss. Yes, once again, it's time to chat about wellness warriors and dangerous messages of some of the most influential. Plus, the moment Channel 10 inadvertently told a country of women they just weren't very funny and how the response to Demi Lovato's reported overdose shines a harsh light on how we consider celebrity addiction. You can read Jane Caro's piece on women in Australian comedy here, Benjamin Law's piece on Lee Lin Chin here, watch Amy here and read the NYT profile on Gwyneth Paltrow here. As always, you're so welcome to join the conversation in our Facebook group! Otherwise, you can follow Michelle on Instagram here, Zara on Instagram here or get in touch at shamelessthepodcast@gmail.com. OH and we’re on Instagram now, too. Follow us here. Before we go: We're a tiny, little independent podcast who rely on YOU GUYS so others can find us. If you have the time, we'd love it if you could subscribe to the show.
