This week’s solo episode is giving spicy culture recap. We talk about this year’s AFL Grand Final — one of the biggest in decades — from Snoop Dogg’s performance to Jessica Mauboy’s powerful moment on stage and just how big this cultural moment felt across Australia. Then we unpack the Kat Clark controversy and why the lack of Black creators in her daughter’s event hits deeper than a “numbers” excuse. And to finish, we’re talking Raye’s new song I Want a Husband, the late-20s search for love, and why wanting a man ≠ settling for less.

We also spoke about cancelling plans last minute and if we believe looks equal currency.

This week I had my twin in the studio — my little sis Betty jumped on the mic! We got into the downfall of the nightlife scene (and why guys are moving funny these days), the anti-immigration protests in Australia, and Bob Katter’s wild meltdown. And of course, we couldn’t leave without spilling some tea on the Love Island reunion and the vibe of this year’s islanders.

This week, I sat down with Sisqo — a.k.a. Mr. Allegedly, Melbourne’s Gossip Girl — and we got into it, from why people trust him with their secrets to how he always gets the inside scoop on Melbourne (and Australia’s) scene. We unpacked our Bali More To Life experience — the highs, the lows — plus some juicy confessions you won’t want to miss. Oh, and of course… we debated holiday romances and whether dating in the industry is ever worth the drama.

We get into how she entered the content game, her love for fashion, and of course, a Love Island debrief.

Hey guys! I'm so excited to bring you a bonus episode of the podcast — and this one’s for anyone who’s deep in the trenches of dating apps.

I sat down with the amazing Sera Bozza to talk all things online dating — from how to create a profile that actually stands out, to dealing with dead-end convos, and turning your DMs from dry to spicy.

We also get into:

How to tell if you’re talking to a certified f*ckboy
Whether you might actually be the boring one
What it means to have a “generous profile”
And the big question: Is modern dating actually making us dumber?

Whether you're single, situationship’d, or just here for the tea — this one’s got something for you. Tap in!

Ciang Ajeic aka your girl’s favourite comedian is back on the podcast!

We get into it — the Coldplay concert kiss-cam scandal, cheating in 4K, and whether we’re all just desensitised at this point. We also talk bare minimum vs princess treatment, Ciang’s national comedy tour, and whether or not you really have to leave Australia to make it? Sprinkled with our classic Bittersweet games and a few controversial takes — you already know it’s a good time.

We’re back in London — the city where this show first began — and it only made sense to sit down with one of UK's finest.

This week, Wintana chats with Deno Driz — British-Eritrean artist, rapper, and someone who’s been in the game since his teenage years. We talk about what it’s like going viral young, losing Cadet and growing into yourself when everyone’s watching. We also get into the music he’s working on now, aussie slang and dating preferences.

We're backkk! After a month away, I’m back in the studio (well…kinda) with my very first soloepisode! In this ep, I get into everything—from the big decision to shut down the Bittersweet studio, to my time away in London.

I unpack the London vs. Melbourne lifestyle (yes, including the dating scene 👀), chat about this new genre of women who are moving on from old relationships and levelling up (think Cardi B and Halle Bailey), and of course, I close it off with a juicy listener dilemma.

In this episode, I sit down with director and producer Warsan Mohammad for a conversation on everything from the viral Pocket Podcast take on women in the workforce, to navigating representation in film, and the reality check that is your late 20s. We also unpack the idea of moving in silence and whether the evil eye is real or just something we’ve been conditioned to fear.

This week on Bittersweet, I sit down with Melbourne’s very own powerhouse — model, influencer, content creator, and 2025 Amari Gala nominee @simplynyapal.

We dive into everything from her rise in the modelling industry and going global, to the realities of being a Black woman in the fashion world. We also break down the Amari Gala — the looks, the moments, the drama — and share our thoughts on the Anna Ren controversy and whether men from your own culture actually treat you better.

Of course, we couldn’t let the episode end without a dilemma, this week's one is about Melbourne men and the epidemic that is being approach-phobic — you already know how that went!

This week, I sit down with Abraham Kuol — Associate Research Fellow and PhD Candidate in Criminology at Deakin University — to unpack the rise in youth violence in Melbourne, particularly among African Australian boys. We explore the impact of migration, the absence of role models, growing up with refugee parents, and how gender roles play out differently in African households. Plus, we get into an AITA thread: should a couple really break up over $8?

This week, I caught up with Nasalifya Namwinga, a senior clinical psychologist and co-founder of Pola Practice, a leading mental health and well-being consultancy based in Melbourne. We dived deep into burnout—what causes it, how to navigate it, and the difference between rest and true restoration. We also unpacked the "busy girl" curse—where you're always doing something but not actually making progress.

This week we speak on the ‘stay-at-home girlfriend’. The idea has been around for a long time but has only recently become an online trend. Is the whole thing anti-feminist or outdated, or is it simply a lifestyle choice we shouldn’t judge or make assumptions about? We also touch on the little mermaid live-action drama. Why are people so pressed about Ariel being black? It’s screaming racism to us!

This week we started the episode by playing the card game @werenotreallystrangers.

We then talk about validation and why we seek it and our experience with insecurities. Whether subconsciously or consciously we all seek validation, from our family, friends, and/or peers but when does it become toxic? How much weight does the opinion of others hold in your life and how do you rediscover who you are without the influence of these opinions? We're really getting into it ya'll!

This week's episode was inspired by the Netflix series “Love, Sex and Goop”, the show is all about erotic blueprints, love, communication and sex. Which got us thinking, in today's era of sex positivity, how many of us are actually having good sex? And how many of us know how to really connect with our partners/casual flings or situationships? Sex is supposed to be enjoyable for everyone but we are never really taught the basics.
