Summary

Helloooooo, favourite listener friends! Today on the show we have the enigmatic Erin Brockovich. In the year 2000, the award-winning film starring Julia Roberts told the true story of Erin’s involvement in a case against a Californian power company. Ever since, Erin has continued to work in the environmental sphere and has regularly visited Australia as the ambassador for Shine Lawyers. In our chat with Erin, we asked her about her environmental activism, what it’s like coming into such a large sum of money so unexpectedly, and her relationship with the label “feminist icon”. And yes, we talk a bit about Julia Roberts too... If you loved this chat with Erin, you can find more from her at @the_real_erin_brockovich on Instagram. After you follow Erin, may we recommend you also listen to our interview with the marvellous Em Rusciano too? You can feast your ears (eyes? who knows!) on that one right here.

0:00.0	Guys it's that time of year when lots of people jet off to have their Euro summer so we thought it would be a nice time to reflect on our own travels.
0:07.6	Yeah, Mitch, we love a little trip down memory lane. One of my favorite holidays of all time was my Europe trip last year. I know you're the same last year. I actually flew to Italy and
0:16.8	drove to the countryside to catch up with a whole group of friends. It was like the perfect mix of a social
0:22.2	trip that was also relaxing.
0:23.7	Yeah, that's absolutely the goal for any trip of mine.
0:26.4	I hate coming back from a holiday and feeling like I need a second holiday to recover.
0:31.1	So give us all the details, Zazzie. What made this stay so special?
0:34.7	Oh it was Aracom for sure. I actually made a great Tik-Tok about it.
0:37.6	If that makes say so myself, I don't make very good Tik-Tok.
0:39.9	Hey! But this one was good. We stayed in the countryside as I said and being a group we wanted a place that gave us a heap of space but also a bit of privacy as well. So Airbnb provided us with exactly that.
0:51.3	Yeah, that's exactly why I love Airbnb too.
0:53.9	They're awesome because you have your own space
0:55.9	in your own room, but feel really close to your friends and family
0:58.9	if you're going on a group trip,
1:00.1	and the point is to spend time together.
1:01.9	Yeah, 100%. We were able to hang out just with our group of friends.
1:05.0	We had some iconic dinners on our outdoor table as a group looking over the countryside as well as
1:09.5	some mid-afternoon apparel.
1:10.7	Beside one of the more picturesque pools you've ever seen, I am not sure I will ever have a holiday that could get.
1:15.3	With trips like that in mind, Airbnb has you covered. Plus the reviews and ratings help you find
1:21.5	exactly what you're looking for with confidence.
1:23.9	Thank you so much to Airbnb for making this episode of shameless possible.
