Bad Behavior

Financial Literacy ft Christina Hobbs

Let's talk about money! 💸💸💸⁠ ⁠ We speak to Christina Hobbs, the CEO of Verve Super, Australia’s first ethical superannuation fund that is tailored for women, by women. Christina talks us through the basics of superannuation and how to meet yourself wherever you are at on your financial literacy journey. And who is financial literacy for? We dive into how the way we talk about money is not set up for all women and how we do better.  Verve Money Pty Ltd (ABN 71 653 669 366, AFS Representative No. 001294184) is a Corporate Authorised Representative of True Oak Investments Ltd (ABN 81 002 558 956; AFSL 238184).

Intimacy in Film Ft. Intimacy Coordinator Ita O'Brien

We're diving into one of my all-time dream jobs: Intimacy Coordination in film, TV and stage. Niki and I adore shows that push boundaries in themes and ideas - but we are 100% against pushing anyone's healthy personal boundaries to get there! I was ecstatic to speak with Ita O'Brien, the woman who pioneered intimacy coordination! Despite being a vital part of the film industry, it's still a relatively new field! Ita has worked on shows such as Sex Education and Normal People. We chat to Ita about the Intimacy on Set guidelines, setting boundaries, and how sometimes if you want something done, you just have to do it yourself.  This podcast is sponsored by Verve Super.

Humor is a powerful tool of resistance, and comedian, artist and activist Aretha Brown joins us to discuss how powerful comedy can be. She gives us her tips for decolonising your mind (you know what they say, the hottest people engage in thoughtful decolonising work!) and we dive into the deep hurt of having your artwork stolen by a big brand. In other news, Rose performs the monologue from A Cinderella Story and we give you an insight into what its like to be extremely good at improv (we're brilliant and will not be accepting any feedback on this).

What is Compulsory Heterosexuality? Ft. Alayna Joy

Over the pandemic, I came out… again. So we thought we’d dive into one of the biggest culprits for my confusion: Compulsory Heterosexuality. Plus, we had a chance to chat to one of my favourite YouTubers, Alayna Joy! Women’s sexualities are often discussed in terms of, and defined by, our relationships with men. Compulsory heterosexuality is the theory that heterosexuality is assumed and enforced upon women by a patriarchal and heteronormative society. Comp het is reinforced through fairy tales, in movies, in magazine quizzes about 'how to satisfy your man', in the dreams your parents have for you, and every time a stranger at a barbecue asks 'do you have a boyfriend?'
