It’s Sammy’s birthday, bitches!! And not just any birthday!! But the big 30!! Go wish her happy birthday IMMEDIATELY or may you all be cursed with being stuck in an overstimulating corridor until the end of time.
Today’s ep is a gorgy laidback one chatting all things from the pressures (or lack thereof!) of biological clocks ticking to the power of a good laksa, Katy Perry girlbossing a little too close to the sun (literally in space) and lots in between!
Sammy chats the struggles with pressures on celebrating a birthday, the girls unpack their growing sensory issues and whether or not they’ve always had them or if they’re just getting old (probably the latter) and the team answer the age-old question of: do animals really have shoulders??
Pretty important stuff!! Head on over to your fave streaming platform (or our YouTube!) to listen/watch now.
Happy Ratfood day to all and we’ll see you in your earholes very very soon!
Mel & Sam

Mel & Sam would like to acknowledge that Ratbag is being recorded on Stolen Land.
The original custodians of this land have had a rich history of storytelling for over 65,000 years, and we pay our respects to the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation whose land we are recording Ratbag on.
Treaties were never signed. Sovereignty was never ceded. Always was and always will be Aboriginal land.
