Hi friends!

Welcome back to another instalment of Tom and Zoë doing some reporting on all things celebrations! Strap in for out first guest/not guest @jesswildthing for her 1 line debut! We've also had pancakes on the brain and Zoë gets flowers from a man who isn't Tom. Importantly, we'll be introducing the "Shania Shower".

We've also got reports on:

• Partying in your 90s
• Housing complex gatherings with lethal advice
• Dogs at housewarming parties
• Star signs and celebrity status

There's also a quick check-in re: red, green and beige flags.

Huzzah! The much anticipated sequel to our episode on love (And loss) is here for your ears! In it, we will treat you to a dramatic reading of some love letters once sent to Z, compare the advice men and women are given when it comes to dealing with heartbreak, consider the benefits of the 'dead to me' approach and argue over wether or not we should be using BODMAS when it comes to calculating the time taken to get over a broken heart.

We accidentally banged on for three hours so after some HECTIC editing, we've still had to cut this in two. Tom can't tell if a date is going well or if the other party is just too polite to leave. Zoë does a stock take of past relationships and somehow draws a distinction between boyfriends and relationships. Both reflect on the weird early 20s denial you do when you're stuck in a dead end situation-ship and ask the big questions like "at what point is their taste in decor a deal breaker?".

Bonus points if you can guess our attachment styles by the end of these two episodes.

Just when you thought maybe we'd thrown in the towel, we're back! The title of this episode makes it sound like the kind of juicy that could get us fired but we promise it's not THAT kind of tea. In this ep, Zoë reflects on how you know when it's time to go (from a job), and Tom once again wonders if he is a psychopath. Did Zoë make the right call jumping ship? Is Tom the friendly sociopath next door? We'll let you decide.

Welcome back to the show for Season 2 of Report Back! In a fun/not fun plot twist, the first episode of the new season is the season finalé of the last season. Join us while we unpack how this happened due to the universe being a spiteful beast; feining/not feigning anger about the patriarchy; and mid-high life meltdowns. We're back and ready to rumble! Thanks for the support, love and vibes while we've been away! xx

We're back to old habits hitting up raunchy theatrical shows on random weekdays. In this episode, everything is queer and nothing is sacred. Glue on your best lashes and dig out your highest heels for a review of the at once most poignant, filthy and fabulous cabaret we've seen yet. Full credits to Reuben Kaye for an indescribably good show.

It's a perilous start to the recording session that prompts some fond stench-related memories. Then, Tom has secrets from his mum and a psychic has SHOCKING revelations for Zoë about her romantic life (and her nan's life expectancy). They both enter the alternate universe of the boho-luxe-vegan-psychic fair, where there are insta-van-life-vans and floor cushions as far as the (third) eye can see. Will their inner children be healed?

Bonus points if you catch the lie Zoë tells Tom in this episode.
