This week Gabs brings Mel up to speed on a current substack scandal where a high profile celeb got low-key bullied off the platform. We discuss the ethics around celebrities monetising their audience, policing peoples presence. It's niche. It's a little granular and we have unformed opinions. When do we paywall? Why do women get scrutinised for this stuff so much more? Don't forget! The Making An Effort Podcast is a listener supported podcast - BEHIND A PAYWALL! Imagine!

Episode 171: Do You Remember Psalty?
Back at it with an episode for you that features our impersonation of the Australian twins, the cold hard facts about clothing consumption, a health and fitness update from us both and a little trip down memory lane about our favourite nostalgic, probably problematic childhood evangelical music.

Episode 170: Martin Freeman is Everywhere
We're back! After gloating about how we haven't missed a week - we missed a week. Life happens. We catch up on Mel's trip to London, a celeb encounter, our high school style and we set a MAE listener challenge to give more compliments to strangers. Let us know if you do it! Don't forget!

Episode 169: MAE Staff Meeting
We have an impromptu staff meeting, discussing our effort with this podcast. Gabby has 14 less hours in her week and Mel rolled her ankle. We discuss the etiquette and THRILL of second hand shopping. We chat about a listener email asking about the vulnerability of putting your work out there to the world, but especially letting your loved ones see/read/listen. Don't forget!

Episode 168: Gabby Hates Standup
This week we cover plenty of ground. A new TV watch that has had Mel in stitches, Gabby's neighbourly updates, tupperware thieves., a story about a tampon that really is NSFW and should come with a trigger warning. Yeesh. Kind of regretting that one. Don't forget! The Making An Effort Podcast is a listener supported podcast.
