Hello Shameless family! Today we are joined by the powerhouses that make up The Veronicas - arguably Australia’s most recognisable female band.

This week on the show, we are joined by the absolutely delightful Laura Byrne. You might remember Laura from her time on The Bachelor, where she won Matty J’s heart and the affection of the country, too. Outside of reality television though, Laura runs Toni May, a jewellery company full of hand-crafted pieces that started selling at markets for a fun outside of her day job. We meet a lot of people in this job, but we have to say, Laura is one of the kindest, warmest, most down to earth women we’...

Today, we are joined by a person who has influenced Zara and I more than any “Instagram influencer” or “YouTube vlogger” ever has. Her name is Natalie Fornasier, and she has 839 Instagram followers. Your eyebrows might be raised right now, and you might be wondering how a normal Sydney girl with a normal social media following could be so influential. Well, last year, Natalie sat down with Byrdie.com.au for a story titled “I’m 24 and Living With Advanced Melanoma—This Is My Story”. Natalie’s wor...

Happy In Conversation Thursday lovely people! On today's show, we are joined with Rowi Singh. It’s hard to condense what and who Rowi is in a quick soundbite, but we will give it a shot. Rowi is an influencer, yes, but she’s not your average influencer. She might have more than a hundred thousand followers on Instagram, but she’s not about detox teas and teeth whitener. Instead, Rowi’s brand is her creativity. She’s a wildly talented makeup artist, who bluntly refuses to colour inside any of the...

Haaaaappy Thursday friends! Wow, do we have a treat for you today.

Some six years later, Tully Smyth has proved to be far more than her Big Brother story.
