Awarded the Best Comedy Podcast 2024, and 2023 nominee for the Australian Podcast Awards, Shanelle Franklin and Tamara Linke bring you The Beautiful Nightmare.
You’re perfectly imperfect, overworked and seriously misunderstood. You’ve got the shits with your family, your boss is a ‘Grade A Dick’ and all you want is to sail away with Pink to a deserted island and eat sourdough. Bliss! Oh don’t forget self-care – add it to the bloody list. Shanelle and Tamara navigate the steep learning curve of life’s shit storm, giving you permission to stop, feel heard, and pour your beverage of choice.
Spoken with humour, heart and truth, it’s survival of the fittest and nobody’s winning. If laughter is your tonic and some A-Grade BS is your thing- this podcast is for you.
