  • In this special crossover episode between Big Sister Hotline and Cherchez La Femme, lifelong friends Clementine Ford and Karen Pickering have a gasbag in Clem's kitchen. Topics covered: middle age and why it's powerful to embrace it; the first two episodes of And Just Like That and why revisiting cultural icons from times past can be so deeply cringeworthy; and their respective Best Of lists for 2021.


    Hey, let us know if you like this episode and would like to see more of Karen and Clem in this format!

  • This week, I talk to filmmaker, podcaster and story doula, LAURA NAGY. Laura's most recent work is a podcast series on Audible. When Laura experienced a bad break up, she turned to the world of ASMR and 'partner experiences' to find comfort. What she didn't expect to encounter was her own healing from past sexual experiences. This week's episode focuses on:


    SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT: Portugal has recently announced it will make it illegal for employees to be contacted by employers outside of work hours. What does this mean for workers in creative industries, and could such a thing ever be implemented? We discuss the recent shooting death of Halyna Hutchins on the set of RUSH and the general expectation that crew members eat shit and be grateful for it.


    THE MEATY MIDDLE: ASMR and the world of partner experiences, plus how these pursuits can help people to navigate sexual consent and their own past experiences of trauma.


    THE JOYFUL BIT: Laura talks about her fondness for 90s' TV dramas.

    Hello there everyone! I've tinkered with the format of the show this week, quite by accident. However, it turns out I like the tinkering and I'm curious to know what you think about it. New format might look something like this: Intro, followed by a short segment called SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT in which my guest and I unpack something that's widely accepted as being standard or traditional but is probably pretty indefensible when it comes down to it, and then a much longer and meatier segment talking about a more specific issue. This might be something that's happened in the news that week or something we've read about or an idea we've had or even the particular specialty of the guest in question (for example, in Aja Barber's episode we would have devoted this segment to discussing her work around fashion and sustainability). Finally, each episode will end with a very short segment on something that's bringing joy or working positively in the world.


    My guest this week is hotline regular, KAREN PICKERING. She's a feminist and a community builder, and is currently writing her third book THE MOTHER OF ALL SHOCKS, a book about the industry of motherhood and all the ways we are being failed by it while encouraged to enter it. She's one of my besties! Here's how the episode looks:


    SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT: Karen used to work at the Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages, and we talk here about the cultural practice of women changing their names after marriage to men. Why is this still happening? Where does it come from? And why is 'choice' such an illusion?


    THE MEATY MIDDLE: There's a heavy content note for this segment, because the topic is pretty full on. A tiktok popped into my feed the other night, featuring a man who spent 19 and a half years in prison. The reason he first entered the system (and stayed in it, as so often happens with the prison industrial complex)? When he was 12, he murdered another boy in his neighbourhood as an act of retaliation for the boy sexually assaulting his sister. What disturbed me about the tiktok was both in how unrepentent he still was about the crime and how enthusiastically so many of the comments supported him. It struck me as a really good example of how sexual assault and rape is only seen as real or legitimate if men take it on themselves to avenge women - because when women come forward with their own testimonies of this violence, we are so often disbelieved and further abused, with urgings to reconsider 'destroying' a man's life. Karen and I have a long discussion here about vengeance, testimony and who gets to be championed in situations like this. We touch on 'Promising Young Woman', the Brock Turner rapist trial and the documentary series, 'I'll Be Gone In The Dark'.


    POUR SOME SUGAR ON ME: Finally, in the joyfulness close out, Karen and I talk briefly about Ted Lasso and the immense pleasure this show is giving so many people. It's such a wonderful exploration of community and kindness, and it dissects toxic masculinity so well while demonstrating what POSITIVE masculinity looks like!


    Don't forget to let me know what you think of this format!

  • CN: This episode contains very fleeting references to body image, eating disorders and fatphobia. It is the recollections of a teenage girl.


    Welcome to a very special episode of the hotline! This week's episode features just me, reading an excerpt from my SO SOON TO BE RELEASED book, How We Love: Notes On A Life!


    Remember the insecurity of adolescence? The pain of unrequited love? The school dance, where you hope for it to all come together only to have it spectacularly crash? It's all right here in this chapter, 'The Queen Of Cool'. Come with me as I take you back to 1996 and a little country town just outside of Adelaide, where a caftan-wearing, bargain jazz CD listening Clementine is about to learn some formative lessons about who she is and what she's worth.


    If you enjoy audiobooks, you might be pleased to know that the audio version of HOW WE LOVE is being released by Audible Australia. I've read the whole thing (and worked with sound producers who can create a much higher quality than today's podcast, to be fair) and I can't wait for you to listen to it! I don't think it's available for pre-order yet, but as soon as it is I will post the link in these notes.


    In the meantime, you can pre-order the print version of HOW WE LOVE from Booktopia!


    Normal programming of the hotline will resume next week, but I hope you've enjoyed this excerpt.


    Thanks as always to my wonderful supporters at Patreon, and also to my podcast hosts Acast.

  • Hello, and welcome to the Big Sister Hotline! Weā€™re back this week with the wonderful LAUREN LATELY! Lauren is a public servant and book lover who lives in Canberra on Nunnawal Country, and sheā€™s become prolific in the fight against health misinformation in a Covid era. 


    Lauren and I talk here about vaccines (WHICH WE LOVE), the scourge of wellness women and toxic positivity, and the use of social media to build communities. From little sisters, we answer questions about feeling insecure and judged by our peers, and why we need to rethink words and concepts like ā€˜classyā€™.

    Hello, and welcome to the Big Sister Hotline! I took a break last week because I was recording my audio book (HOW WE LOVE, out on November 2!) But Iā€™m back this week, and joined by the very wonderful RACHEL MCPHAIL! 


    Rachel is a proud Gomeroi woman and activist, whose campaign to establish a database of First Nations place names in addresses very quickly became one of the most popular petitions on Change.org.


    In this episode, Rachel talks about the importance of preserving the knowledge of Aboriginal elders, and deferring to Aboriginal leadership. We discuss how systemic change is possible if we just have political will. From Little Sisters, we answer questions about how to overcome heartbreak (with no small amount of help from Taylor Swift), and how patriarchy has conditioned girls and women to see relationships as being the thing that completes them rather than something that complements their life. We also address a question about concerning behaviour from a wannabe male suitor.

  • CONTENT NOTE: This episode contains discussion of gender dysphoria, transphobia and a brief reference to eating disorders.


    Hello, and welcome to the Big Sister Hotline! Weā€™re coming to you from Melbourne, home of lockdowns, riots and earthquakes! It is a very strange time to be alive!!!


    What has made it easier this week is reading the BEAUTIFUL new memoir ā€œAll About Yves: Notes From A Transitionā€, by the extraordinary Dr. Yves Rees. At the age of 30, Rees became aware that they were trans. Their memoir is a stunning journey through identity, self awareness and how one can strive to ā€˜live the questionsā€™ in their life. 


    In this episode, we talk about the power of trans narratives, trans joy and how disrupting regressive ideas of gender is liberating for humanity as a whole. We also address a question from a listener who is questioning their gender identity, and how disrupting hierarchies of power is reflected in gender diverse and non conforming people. This is a joyful episode!

  • Hello, and welcome BACK to the Big Sister Hotline! Iā€™ve been on hiatus for a few months, partly because I was taking time off to finish my book (out on November 3!) and partly because of lockdown fatigue. But here we are, launching back into the hotline with enthusiasm and vitality! 


    In this first episode back, Iā€™m joined by the phenomenal AJA BARBER. Sheā€™s a writer, an activist and a content creator using her platform to campaign for true change in the fashion industry and its deplorable oppression of the global south, or as she would have it, the worldā€™s ā€˜traditionally pillagedā€™ countries. Her Instagram video, ā€˜Why performative allyship is triggeringā€™, which called out brands and influencers for monetising the BLM movement, has accumulated over one million views. In her debut book, ā€œCONSUMED: On colonialism, climate change, consumerism and the need for collective change, she lays out an unimpeachable argument against supporting fast fashion and the brands who clog up the worldā€™s waterways and landfills with it. Itā€™s a horrifying and absolutely necessary read, and in this conversation we talk about the social imperative we face to undo the impact of this industry.


    Some facts discussed:


    * It takes 5000 gallons of water to make just one t shirt and pair of jeans - so how much water is wasted every year churning out clothes that are worn once or twice before being thrown away?


    * The millions of clothes we discard every year in op shops and recycling bins largely end up in landfill in the backyards of people in the Global South, or as she calls it, ā€œtraditionally pillaged countriesā€.


    * In 2018 alone, H&M recorded $4.3 BILLION of unsold stock. And to put that in perspective (and as Aja told me) the length of one billion one dollar notes laid out end to end would wrap around the earth four times - meaning the cost of unsold stock for just one fast fashion company in one year alone would wrap around the earth SIXTEEN TIMES.


    This is before we even talk about the inhumane abuse of garment workers, none of whom see even a smidge of the profits billionaires at the top accrue.

    Iā€™m joined this week by one of my friends and Hotline alum, the marvellous Karen Pickering! Karen is a feminist organiser, an author, host of the feminist salon Churchez La Femme and all round excellent human. We had a frank and candid chat in my kitchen about the disastrous state of affairs with misogyny in Australian politics right now. Imagine you were overhearing our angered conversation in a cafe, discussing all the ways Scott Morrison fails to represent the women of this country, how sexism exists on both sides of the political spectrum and what it means to see rape culture expressed so brazenly in the highest office in the land - thatā€™s what this conversation is.


    But itā€™s also good humoured, warm hearted and funny, just like your big sisters should be! Itā€™s a conversation we need to keep having, because nothing will change unless we make it.

    In this weekā€™s episode, my wonderful friend Ada Conroy welcomed me into her kitchen to discuss menā€™s behavioural change, domestic abuse, working in the family violence sector and how our own shame can be confronted to create meaningful change and accountability.

  • CONTENT NOTE: This episode contains discussion of fatphobia, eating disorders and disordered eating, sexual experiences involving menā€™s desires that may be triggering for some people


    Hurrah! This weekā€™s episode features the amazing Cara MacB, creator of the brilliant ā€œOBCC Helplineā€. As Nanny MacB, she uses TikTok and Instagram to call out fatphobia in an hysterically funny way. We have an incredible conversation in this episode about how people end up co-opted into internalised systems of hatred: internalised fatphobia, misogyny and adherence to patriarchy. Cara and I discuss the choices we can make as parents to change the patterns we both learned about food and bodies when we were growing up and the concept of loving the inside of your body as well as the outside. What does it mean for our relationships with other women - and in particular, our mothers - when we make the (sometimes scary!) choice to walk away from diet culture.


    From little sisters, we answered questions about what makes a ā€˜decentā€™ man (for those of us unfortunate enough to be attracted to them lololol) and what to do if your new boyfriendā€™s sexual repertoire is not just out of a porn handbook but how self care extends to the kind of sex weā€™re willing to tolerate. 


    I really love this episode and I know you will too!

  • This week, I'm joined by KOA BECK, author of the incredible new book, "White Feminism". The book is a blistering examination of how white feminism aligns with capitalism, individual ambition and, ultimately, patriarchy in order to secure some version of liberation for the minority while ignoring the masses of women whose labour and subjugation is required to maintain those systems. I found myself writing notes furiously throughout it but also feeling deeply uncomfortable in parts, which is what any good book should do!


    In this wide ranging conversation, Koa and I discuss the roots of white supremacy in the suffragette movement how white feminism and capitalism have always been bedfellows invested in the same end goals; how heteronormativity and homophobia have worked to placate patriarchal ideals of womanhood even within a movement supposedly invested in womenā€™s liberation; and how all of this supposed ā€œfreedomā€ women enjoy now actually comes at the expense of women still marginalised by race, class, body politics and economics.


    One of the resounding things I walked away with both after reading this book and speaking to Koa was the urge to think more consciously about truly collective liberation versus a collective ā€œweā€ of whiteness that ensures capitalist success for some at the expense of the whole. 


    Iā€™ll be thinking about this book for a long time and urging everyone I know to read it. Itā€™s comprehensive and uncompromising, and itā€™s also profoundly hopeful and visionary. I really hope you enjoy this episode, and if you are white like me I encourage you to discuss it with your friends!

  • Welcome to the very first episode of the hotlineā€™s SECOND SEASON!


    My guest this week is the extraordinary Laura Bates. Sheā€™s a writer, activist and educator based in the UK, and her latest book ā€œMen Who Hate Womenā€ is a blistering take on misogyny and how it proliferates in menā€™s groups both online and off. She joined me for a very special episode (no listener questions on this one Iā€™m sorry - there was too much to discuss!) to talk about incense, menā€™s rights activists, pick up artists, misogyny and how all of these things are weaponised against women. We also discuss how these groups specifically work to target men for radicalisation into terrorist ideology - and why this kind of violence against women should be labelled as such.


    Itā€™s an intense conversation with moments of levity, but please go gently with it as we discuss some very triggering content.


    Laura Bates will be speaking at All About Women this year. You can buy tickets to that here: https://www.sydneyoperahouse.com/events/whats-on/all-about-women/2021/laura-bates-men-who-hate-women.html

  • This weekā€™s episode features the sensational DANI ADRIANA, a noted body positivity and fat liberation activist living in far North Queensland. Dani has toured workshops around the world speaking about mental health and fat liberation, and she joined me for a wonderfully insightful conversation about bodies, size inclusivity and the evolution of oneā€™s own activism. I had so many lightbulb moments during this, and you will too!


    From Little Sisters, we answered questions about how to deal with breakups, even when weā€™ve initiated them; and whether or not a partner who was formerly emotionally abusive to you can ever be forgiven.
