Wait... What Are We Doing?

Do you and your limerant crush need to see a counsellor? Yes? This is *so* the episode for you. Join Chloe Black and Hermione Gilchrist as we sashay elegantly into the wrong part of the room and proceed to make it our own. Be not afraid.

Join us as we labour heroically through an episode with dubious internet and lots of uncomfortable pauses! Seriously. Enjoy it. We made this for you. Imagine your child has presented you with a hauntingly unflattering portrait of your good self, and you are trying to smile as you receive it with something resembling heartfelt gratitude. You can laugh about it with your friends over a drink later.

Comedians, Shakespeare, Rosaline, Lianne Moriarty, Marylyne Rajskub, Coolio, Lena Headey, Kaitlyn Dever, Catherine O'Hara. Stand-up Comedy. Actor? Comedian? Judy Greer, Anna Spargo-Ryan, Celia Paquola, Ros Hammond, Baz Luhrmann... Suspension of disbelief, advice, Chloe Black and Hermione Gilchrist clasp at threads that connect these things. They do. Just... Listen?

Happy Birthday Chloe! This one will sort the wheat from the chaff of our poor loyal, long-suffering listeners. Enjoy our dogged determination to keep going because it's Chloe's BIRTHDAY and we refused to give up! Persist through odd blank spots and our palpable frustration to share this momentous moment. Seriously, Happy Birthday Chloe!!! Kinky xox!

Getting distracted by a meandering guide to the etymology of pithy sayings... What did we talk about? Sally Phillips, Ben Kingsley, common saying involving salt... you know the drill.

Chloe and Hermione mourn the passing of Coolio. We also discuss clicktivism, post punk, sampling, romance... the usual. Come one in :)

Our first guest for Season Three is Ash Flanders, the fabulously obnoxious theatre diva who shares humble roots with Hermione and Chloe from the Channel 31 Yartz program, and is really much too famous for our little podcast. Corey Worthington? The Sugababes? HAMILTON?? This one's for you, Ralph McLean xx

Chloe and Hermione mull over our libidos, the "ick factor", fear of being rejected, actual rejection. Rejection. It's real. Coffee and Tea provided (honour system).

The Doctors gave them to us! Chloe and Hermione converse amicably about pharmaceutical intervention, mental health, colonisation, Investor-State-Disputes, Social Security and giving really good head. Season 3 puts down an interesting card in Episode #2. Let's play.

Chloe and Hermione stumble chaotically into our third season opener, where we talk about The Baby on the Fire Escape by Julie Philips, the Apocalypse, j-hope's record-breaking Lollapalooza headline set, foley sound, critical care, our magically frustrating children and the Velvet Underground's creepy classic - the Gift (only a tiny bit, so don't get excited if this is your favourite ever song - our contribution is minimal)... and other things. Much more! Buy now! (It's free...)

Chloe and Hermione chatter away happy as a pair of parrots and discuss dysmorphia, merch, interruptions, why Jello Biafra should be a guest on our podcast and how awesome is the new PSY single featuring SUGA of BTS! We look back over Season 2 and realise that even if we are haphazard and weird, that's part of our indelible charm. See you in Season 3, bitches!!

On this episode of Wait, What Are We Doing? Hermione and Chloe are joined by the very wonderful Dr Meredith Jackson, and in the time-honoured words of the 1990 pop rap song by Salt 'n' Pepa, decided "Let's Talk About Sex"! Subjects range wildly from hotness to art, cuddling, Death Metal, Twitter crushes and Grindr emergencies. This one is NOT for the kiddies. You have been warned.

In this ep, Chloe discusses her weird acting job she just had. The zen of shopping/retail therapy, romance scammers, new shows from the tele and the meaning of the term Duck Butter.

Again we invite our super team special guest Mathew "Bingers" Bingley on for a chat. Bingers and I devour some Korean snacks (Maple Corn anyone?) while we deep dive into lots of different things including our obsessions with Duolingo and the like. Sit down, grab the Asiatic treat of your choice and have a listen to us yarn.

Chloe and Hermione delve into the meaning of value, beauty and truth and then we get distracted by dating apps and Netflix... and New Kids on the Block. Basically, its like hanging out with us. Enjoy!

On this episode, Chloe and Hermione are joined by Brooks Elms, a screenwriter, film director and screenwriting coach who Hermione met by chance on Twitter. We had a lovely chat about writing for the screen, writing comedy bits, getting stuck in traffic... and Brooks' new book on screenwriting which has just come out. You can find it at https://brookselmscoaching.com/book/

Chloe and Hermione are joined once more by the inimitably risque Kevin Glidden. While Kevin and Chloe are off doing shows in Adelaide for the Fringe we converged via dodgy WiFi to cover a smorgasbord of interesting topics in this one! Reciprosexuality, monocles, orgies, tragic cancelling, Cyrano de Bergerac dating strategies, and the exact moment when you might morph from a hero into a villain. Won't you come in?

Part 2 of our amazing, insightful and awesome interview with Benjow. Exciting times folks. We dug up someone from our past! And they were still alive! A podcast episode 33 years in the making. We tracked down the one and only Benjow from cult folk-punk faves the Bedridden! And he chewed our ears off We talked about his life and music (from The Bedridden, punk/grindcore legends Half Dog, and his solo stuff and beyond), his art, and his photography, as well as his close frien...

This week was a blast with our second guest, Hobart comedian Kevin Glidden. A queer and exciting deep dive into the villainy of Lars Von Trier!
