Big Small Talk - BIG TALK: Did Schapelle Corby Do It? PART ONE
play

02/18/25 • 47 min

Big Talk is back for 2025! Our first episode topic was a no-brainer, it's one of the most hotly contested Australian news saga's of our generation - Schapelle Corby. Schapelle was a 27 year old Australian girl who got caught at a Bali airport with 4kg of marijuana in her boogie board bag and was faced with the death penalty.

Taking us back to 2005, we look at her family, her holiday plans, the imprisonment, how the trial played out and the verdict. As well as the way the Australian media was obsessive and relentless in deciding whether or not she was guilty.

Big Small Talk - SMALL TALK: Will I Always Be a Pick-Me Girl?
play

02/12/25 • 28 min

‘Pick Me Girl’ is a scathing label born online a few years ago to describe women who value male attention above anything else.

We want to assess what this label is and suggest that actually, we’re all pick-me’s. It’s something ingrained in all us that we hate to admit, but it’s actually good to know and recognise.

You have likely heard the line “A Dingo’s got my baby,” but you might not know all the details from one of Australia's most infamous news stories. It is truly one of the greatest miscarriages of justice to date.

In part one, we introduce a young mother, Lindy Chamberlain, and explain what happened on the night her 9-week-old baby Azaria was taken by a Dingo while on holiday in Uluru. We then look at the gruesome trial by media that ensued, how the police failed Lindy and her family and how the actual trial unfolded.
