Grab Her By The Mic
This week on Grab Her By The Mic, Philsy is fresh from Byron with a tan, a gland infection and a bag of antibiotics that have wrecked her gut. Han spent the second week of school holidays selectively pretending she didn't have children, then got sinus-infected mid-Sudafed-license-handover and survived to tell the tale. Han's hyper fix dives headfirst into "slow motherhood" - we unpack the privilege problem, the gentle parenting hangover, and the actual peer-reviewed research that says the guilt is doing more damage than the missed bath. Philsy goes full body-language analyst on Megxit 2.0 - the "press tour that's not a royal tour," what Harry and Meghan are actually here for, and why every confident woman in public life still gets shredded for breathing. Plus: a SideQuest called Slow or Feral, a Weekly Manifest that includes fuel under $2 a litre, and Philsy’s genuine threat to buy a Nokia 3210 from Big W. See you next Tuesday. 💋 Chaos Correctional (Fact-Check Corner) Stick around after the outro for Chaos Correctional - where Han cleans up the confident nonsense we said on air with just enough research to be dangerous. This week we correct: * Philsy’s claim someone burned down the Geelong oil refinery (there’s no evidence of this). * The pronunciation of Hoka. It's Ho-kah. We were close-ish. * Plenty of WTF Harry and Meghan moments. * Whether Australia genuinely only has two oil refineries left (yes, and that's the real story) * The all important debate over potpourri.
