Bruna met Meghan Markle straight off a long-haul flight and now the photos will never see the light of day. Cath nearly wore sneakers to the event and had to be stopped by an emergency Grace Lam FaceTime. Mary once met George Clooney, thankfully with zero boogers in her nose. And remember when stalking someone pre-Google was an act of creativity and persistence? Because Mia was calling Japanese restaurants every night, and Mary was in a nightclub carpark in her pyjamas to catch a man.

Also: a listener has been in love with her husband and her secret boyfriend for a decade. We have thoughts.

Grace micromanaged her birthday and cancelled sex for a car race. Cath once masturbated on the freeway. Mary received a Valentine’s Day card with a pube in it, and Dr Ginni knows why you're awake and spiralling at 3am. And is there a mystery in your life you're yet to solve? Because Cath lined up a date who disappeared in suspicious medical circumstances. We have theories.

Cath booked a wax...and it did not go to plan. Sally had a case of celebrity mistaken identity. Mary told a driver to get f**cked and it turned out to be her own mother, and Bruna accidentally did a little wee in a designer dress (and then had to buy it). And how was your first kiss? Because these women absolutely butchered theirs.

Cath is back on the dating scene and the icks are immediate. From men with necklaces, to gym selfies, and those who won't ask a single question, she's compiled a list of what makes a man instantly undateable.

Meanwhile, Sally wants to talk about the towel system in your house. Are you a towel dictator, or is it a free-for-all? And why are all the midlife women putting vaginal oestrogen on their faces? Dr Ginni is here to debunk the Tik Tok trend. Finally, the bush is back and Mary has questions.

What happens when your life - and marriage - looks fine on paper....but you feel like you've outgrown it? That's the very real problem we're Unleashing on this week.

Meanwhile, the 90's nearly killed us. Bruna used be a full-blown party girl (including near-death experiences), but now she’s in bed by 9pm. Mary dreams of long, late European dinners but even she's leaving the children's New Years Eve fireworks before they've finished. And Cath once flashed her whole bush to a rave.... but now she just raves about getting into bed early. What happened?

Then, Ginny suspects a friend has committed the ultimate betrayal: recipe sabotage. With missing ingredients and possibly fake instructions, we launch a full investigation into whether some women just… don’t share.

Plus, the medical chat that has taken over the group chat — are we all walking around with a “sausage of poo”… and what exactly are we meant to do about it?

In your ears today: Mary Coustas, Bruna Papandrea, Dr Ginni Mansberg and Cath Mahoney

Camping? Meditation? Marathons?! Absolutely not.

Mary Coustas is calling for the Unleashed anti-bucket list - the things we are officially opting out of for life. Meanwhile, Sally ticks off a major life milestone… and with it comes a deeply unsettling realisation: she is the adult now. Plus, the time Bruna got fired as a bridesmaid, and Mary got sacked for standing her Greek ground.

And in very sad news, Sally shares the loss of her family dog Hannah, and why losing a pet unlocks a very deep and unique kind of grief.

She's just got off a plane from the Oscars so yeah, we have questions.

What’s it actually like inside the Academy Awards? In this special bonus episode, Bruna Papandrea tells us everything: from the red carpet to the toilets, the snack boxes, and some deeply weird behaviour during "In Memoriam."

We revel in the glamour! The showbiz! The stars!

And then Bruna reveals the devastating truth: she didn't tell a single Hollywood soul about this podcast.

At some point you look in the mirror and realise gravity has come for your face. Bruna's pretty miffed no one warned her. Meanwhile, should you be with one person for the rest of your life? Because Grace has some ground rules - like if her husband replaces her, she'll come back as a ghost and haunt his d*ck.

And what did you get up to to when your parents weren't looking? Sally stole a library book from the nuns and still feels guilty, and Grace spat in her mums face washer.

And finally, Producer Mia needs some advice after a designer jacket situation at work goes horribly wrong. Lets just say the office "free table" is involved.

In your ears today: Grace Lam, Bruna Papandrea, Sally Hepworth and Cath Mahoney
