NOT SO FKN TYPICAL is a podcast that doesn't quite fit in neat little boxes. Hosted by Steph & Amy, sometimes it's pop culture, sometimes it's mental health, sometimes it's life, parenting, friendship, chaos, or just whatever we're currently obsessed with. Nothing polished. Nothing perfect. Just two humans talking it out and calling it what it is. FKN Typical. You can tell a lot about a person by the movies they love. Steph: horror movies, psychological thrillers, anything terrifying. Amy: cheerleader movies, comfort movies, and emotional devastation via The Notebook. In this episode we chat about:

So....What's actually going on? Protein vs Fibre Protein is everywhere right now, from yoghurts to snack bars to cereals. Meanwhile, fibre is suddenly being hailed as the key to gut health and longevity. So which one should you actually be prioritising? In this bite-sized episode, Michelle untangles the science behind protein and fibre, explaining what each one does in the body and why this isn't an either/or decision. She explores why protein matters — particularly in midlife when muscle mass and metabolic health become more relevant — and why, despite the hype, most people already meet their basic protein needs. At the same time, fibre intake often falls short, even though it plays a crucial role in gut health, blood sugar balance and long-term wellbeing. If you're feeling confused by shifting nutrition trends, this episode offers a calm, evidence-informed perspective to help you build real-life health without swinging between extremes.

REPLACE.TODAY podcast is all about recycling and the circular economy. This episode examines incineration. Australian governments support pouring billions into waste incinerators, spending Climate Grants on that—yet the science, costs, and global warnings say this is the wrong path. While the UN Special Rapporteur on Toxics and human rights calls incineration “

NOT SO FKN TYPICAL is a podcast that doesn't quite fit in neat little boxes. Hosted by Steph & Amy, sometimes it's pop culture, sometimes it's mental health, sometimes it's life, parenting, friendship, chaos, or just whatever we're currently obsessed with. Nothing polished. Nothing perfect. Just two humans talking it out and calling it what it is. FKN Typical. This week they're talking Brain Wins. Because being “not so fkn typical” isn't just struggling and spiralling and forgetting to drink water like a lizard (no comment). It's also: + being weirdly calm in a crisis + building instant rapport + making people feel safe + being deeply curious about humans tick + out of the box solutions + humour as a coping mechanism (hello gif of people flying car bonnets) We also talk about how hard it can be to say “I'm good at this” without your brain yelling WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? So you're doing it anyway. YOUR TURN: What's your superpower? Type it. Say it out loud. Claim it. “I'm actually really fkn good at this”.

Perfect for busy women in midlife who want clarity, not confusion.

How good are the arts?! How good are people who work in the arts?! Wouldn't it be awesome if someone interviewed a bunch of these creative people and made a podcast for everyone to listen to?! Well, you're in luck! Welcome to The Creative Pod, an Australian-based podcast where I, Leya Mackus, chat to an array of artsy individuals working across various creative industries. Join me as I find out about what they do, why they do it, and discuss the importance of arts in our world today. Each episode, I will speak with a creative to hear about the goings-on in their creative life and in their pocket of the arts world. Think performers, directors, musicians, writers, actors, dancers, artists, designers, etc. The intention is to highlight the incredible work and people within Australia's creative industries, and bring insight and inspiration to other existing or aspiring creatives and young people. We'll unpack different creative industries, opportunities, experiences, and challenges (and goodness knows there are lots of those in the arts!), as well as get inspired by some of the brilliant things that are happening within our country and beyond. And, most importantly, we'll hear from a variety of people who know it best, just why the arts are so important in our lives. This podcast is recorded by Radio Carrum, at Karrum Karrum, on the lands of the Bunurong People. I pay my respects to Indigenous Peoples past and present, and feel honoured to share creative stories and conversations on the land where countless creatives and stories have come before me. Episode 1 - Lucinda Cowden Lucinda Cowden is an actor, improvisor, and educator, among many things, and may be most recognisable from her role as ‘Melanie Pearson' in Neighbours. In this episode, she joins me to talk about the varying work-life of an actor, the importance of arts and soap operas in creating empathy and connection in our lives, and the consequences for our world when we undervalue the arts. She also tells us about her new works coming up as part of the Flinders Fringe Festival, on from 27th February - 1st March, 2026. Tickets and more info can be found at https://flindersfringe.com.au

Not So FKN Typical is a podcast that doesn't quite fit in neat little boxes. Hosted by Steph & Amy, two friends with big feelings, questionable coping mechanisms, and ever changing hyperfixations. Each episode is a little different. Sometimes it's pop culture, sometimes it's mental health, sometimes it's life, parenting, friendship, chaos, or just whatever we're currently obsessed with. Nothing polished. Nothing perfect. Just two humans talking it out and calling it what it is. FKN Typical. This ep is a lighter one, basically a window into what we talk about in the car: comfort shows, nostalgia spirals, rewatch obsessions, why we can't start new series without a full scroll session first, and how fandoms can be both iconic and a bit… intense (hello Taylor Swift discourse
