Curveball - The Club You Didn't Want To Be A Part Of - Won Best Wellbeing Podcast at The Australian Podcast Awards. This is one of the best podcasts I have had the pleasure of listening to.
Curveball is described as;
“A show that covered important topics discussed in a non-judgemental, interesting and highly engaging manner.”
Host and creator Beth Armstrong is a natural story teller who is also a successful director, filmmaker and TVC creator who has created a podcast which tackles taboo subjects in a way that is disarming, authentic and intimate, while not losing perspective of its sense of humour.
Partnering with Luke at Unison Sound, they have created a safe space for three anonymous people from the same club to discuss anything from Growing up in and Escaping a Cult, to Mid-life sexual awakening and Parent of a transgender child.

Great chat with Veronica Milsom, creator or the Zero Waste Baby podcast series on Podcast One.
Here is the description for Zero Waste Baby
Comedian Veronica Milsom is a mum on a mission to reduce her tiny newborn's massive waste footprint. Hoping to ward off the impending environmental apocalypse, Veronica has to find alternatives to using any of the wonderfully convenient disposable products that make modern day parenting possible, like nappies, wet wipes and store-bought baby creams, for the first 3 months of her baby’s life. Spoiler This series involves reusing afterbirth, leaky cloth nappies, poo-catching and plenty of sleepless nights.
Veronica recommends
Congrats on the new...
If you want to listen to Zero Waste Baby we recommend starting at Episode One. It is an 8 part series, so jump in at the beginning.

We hear a lot about refugees & asylum seekers, but not often do we hear from the people themselves.
