This week on Women's Agenda, the highs of the women's game and the very deep lows following the actions of men. Plus, all the language that skirts around the issues to protect reputations Still, there were the wins! Deborah Mailman becoming the first Aboriginal person inducted into the Logies Hall of Fame, and the AFLW roaring back with big double-header crowds (and six matches around men's grand…
We talk through our biggest stories of the week! First up, two wins: three women-founded Australian companies nominated for the Prix Galien Awards (medicine's answer to the Nobel), and Tina Arena's grace-filled response to her ex-husband's rape conviction. Then the harder stories: AOC freezing her eggs and Karoline Leavitt stepping down, and how the "can women have it all" question just got…
Special guest Amy Remeikis joins the podcast! The journalist and commentator has just published her new book Screw Nice , and she's here to share why continuing the expected pleasantries is not getting us anywhere.

In this week's wrap chat: who gets protected, who gets replaced, and who gets to leave on their own terms. We share the big wins: a new Alzheimer's blood test that could transform early detection for the women most at risk, and ACTU powerhouses Sally McManus and Michele O'Neil stepping down after a decade of hard-won rights — together, and without clinging to power. Then Angela unpacks the…
What got us talking this week: Andrew Tate's arrest on new UK charges, and how he was undone in the court of public opinion by a purple blouse. Plus, we unpack Pauline Hanson's claim that women should just "don't put up with it" — as new Anglicare research shows the cost of leaving family violence has jumped 71% in a decade, to over $7,000. Then Dinushi Dias sits down with Simone Clarke, CEO of UN…

We talk all things women's longevity with Dr Ginni Mansberg! A no-BS conversation on the things women need to know, and those that we don't. Dr Mansberg is a GP of more than 30 years who has built a reputation as one of the most trusted, plain-speaking voices in Australian women's health. She specialises in menopause, midlife health and disease prevention, and was voted Australia's most trusted…
We talk through the biggest stories of the week! The wins -- we explore the historic $1m gift for miscarriage support, the six-month paid parental leave milestone (and the case for not going back!) And on discussions -- we look at how Meta keeps deleting Australian LGBTQ+ accounts, "AI-first" layoffs hit women's jobs first, and the grey-market peptides putting women at greater risk. This week's…
This week, who gets excused and who gets judged! We look at the wins: A doctor turned patient, and a founder's AI women's health platform raises $4 million, and a World Cup that's been a genuine, underdog-loving joy. Then, we unpack Karl Stefanovic's platforming of the far-right extremist Tommy Robinson on his podcast and the fallout that ensued. Plus, we look at the French TV host who called…

This week, two genuine wins and a look at who we blame when the going gets tough. A blood-stained front page across three South African newspapers turned period poverty into front-page news — and went global. Brittany Higgins was named Executive Director of Vida Fund, stepping into a leadership role as the organisation gears up for 2028. We unpack "masculinism" — the force Helen Lewis says is…
