How many men want to have sex with Maleficent? Quite a few apparently but not my husband, Bart. No. He would much rather drop some truth bombs in this episode where we unpack unpopular opinions even more obscure than the claim that coffee is for the weak. Also, for that one person who wrote in their unpopular opinion that they love spoilers, this episode description contains zero spoilers.

Vasectomy. Or is it Vasect-for you? All the guys want to know: 1.) if they are going to be in a world of pain. 2.) if sex going to feel different and 3) whether the decision is final. Recommendations and reviews aren’t too readily available in a non clinical sense, so my husband’s debut on Pistachio Podcast (his name is Bart) was assumed to be a vulnerable one right? Wrong. Goodbye privacy.

What do I have to do to become your friend? Add you on Facebook? Prove the 7 Elements of Trust to be worthy? In this episode I unpack the evolution of friendship with Kylie and the social etiquette for firing someone from your friend zone. Side note: Truth bombs dropping-a-plenty between former housemates in this one guys!

Pistachio cracks open 5 non-sponsored, non judgemental tips for managing a newborn babe. When it comes to parenting the best advice you can get is to do what works for you. Second to that I want to say its all about preserving the 3S: Sanity, Safety and Sleep. We all dislike unsolicited parenting advice but if you're keen for 5 (ok I squeezed in 6) practical parenting tips that will save you time, money and ultimately assist in keeping your baby content; then this is the episode for you.

If alternative medicine works for you, is it still alternative medicine? How do Australians know when holistic medicine is suitable or when an allopathic approach is needed? Trust your gut? Or is the irony that your gut is the issue? I chat with Bek, a registered medical professional and naturopathy student who reminds us that when it comes to decisions about your care, the most important view is yours!

I pay one of my friends every 5 weeks to spend time with me and engage in conversation. You do too. It's your hairdresser. She/He knows more about you than just your hair preferences most likely. But how do you know where the boundaries are? Guest and hairdresser confidant Shauni is here for Pistachio to spill the tea on all the questions we are all too awkward to ask when in the chair.

Listeners beware! Your unpopular opinions are about to be exposed. What is most unnerving though is that these opinions may not be as unpopular as you assumed. Cling wrap in the fridge? You are most definitely the exception though. We also welcome back the girl with all of the opinions for this one; special guest nut, Kylie

‘There’s no such thing as a silly question.’ Wrong. In this episode, my long term friend and former housemate Kylie, unpacks the reality of dating in your late thirties and builds a solid case as to why in 2020 most biological clocks have permission to tick less loudly… after all Liam Hemsworth is single now right?

Ever had a social media break? Did you expect people to notice? Don’t lie, you so did. In our first episode for 2020 Laura chats with her friend Bek, about the elusiveness of genuine connection. Laura’s default jealousy setting from teenage years gets a proper burial and the girls give millennial females a seriously good rap.

Lets get cracking! (the puns are running out already.) Welcome to a podcast that focuses on conversations you silently crave, educates you on the subtle details of life and provides a platform for sharing stories that make us all feel 100% human. In this introductory episode, your host Laura Banda, subtly introduces herself and attempts to provide a brief rationale on why a podcast really should be exactly like a salty nut.
