Michelle Shepphard: I respect you to much to have sex with you! (WTAF)

4/24/2024
Michelle Sheppard: I respect you to much to have sex with you! (WTAF) Michelle Sheppard is a leader in the realm of gender equity. Her own path as a transgender woman has given her a unique perspective, providing her with insightful insights into the complex issues of gender bridging. In recognition of her extraordinary contributions, Michelle was inducted into the Victorian Museum of Women and honoured with a coveted spot in the 2023 Victorian Honour Roll of Women as a Change Agent. In today's episode, Michelle and Nelly GET AMONGST IT: her two young marriages as a "Mid-West Gentleman" and then later, dating as a trans woman. We talk about some shitful experiences on the dating apps and, some good ones (spoiler alert: she found her sweetpea there). Nelly and Michelle take a call on how to talk to kids after divorce (TW: family violence is mentioned) and ultimately, how to keep the focus on the kiddos. Michelle has multiple "ten... but" dealbreakers and some spicy stuff from ex's. A terrific episode with a thoughtful and fascinating woman.

Chris Ryan is back for Sloppy Seconds and thinks we're kidding ourselves about ENM!

She's back with a lovely update on that front and, some firm opinions on our listener questions. A caller asks if she MUST use the apps to date (spoiler alert: no) and a letter-writer seemingly asks for permission to go ENM even though her husband said no. Chris has some firm views on that.

Nato Green: I cock-blocked myself! Nato Green is a US comic and union organiser and Nelly is a huge fan of his. Nelly and Nato discuss his 20+ year marriage, how he thought he was unlovable and was super nervous about expressing vulnerability, how he wanted to date but just couldn't work out how until he was in his 20's and, how he had lots of platonic friendships with women that perhaps could have turned romantic. Nelly and Nato take two amazing listener calls - one on navigating your first Christmas as a single mum and another on how to talk to your kids about mental load. And Nato's solution to many things seems to be a finger in the butt. A great ep with an hilarious and thoughtful guy.

Van Badham: worth the wait!

12/27/2023
Van Badham: a fool in love! Van Badham is an author, playwright, Guardian columnist, broadcaster and general all 'round ratbag. Van and I talk about how she'd given up on love and then fell in love at Trades Hall, across a crowded room at the age of 39. We take a brilliant listener call on what single life can look like in your 60s and get into Van's dating dealbreakers and "he's a ten but...". A wonderful episode with a wise and thoughtful woman determined to wait for the best (chuck out the rest). Van's new play "A Fool in Love" HEREVan on Facebook HEREVan in the Guardian HEREVan's Book HERE BOOK TICKETS TO THE DEAR NELLY LIVE AT THE MALTHOUSE HERE SUSBRCIBE TO DEAR NELLY VIA PATREON Sign up HERE for bonus content and to support the podcast!
