Big Small Talk, big talk & small talk

Our trio of podcasts created to make the news engaging, develop media literacy and interrogate the ‘why’ behind the social conversations we’re facing every day. Big Small Talk is distinct from Cheek, but come together to provide a new medium of news and cultural conversation.

Big Small Talk

So you want to know what’s happening in parliament, but you also want to know the latest in pop culture? Good, as you should. From the front page to your newsfeeds, no story is too serious, stale, funny or frivolous. Because, if you haven’t realised, loving pop culture doesn’t mean you don’t understand politics.

Knowing all your shit? That’s hot.

Big Small Talk is our flagship weekly podcast, released on Tuesdays at 5pm, which covers the six biggest stories in news and pop culture. Breaking down the facts and offering our opinions on them, BST covers the news in a way that feels like catching up with friends.

Big Talk

Over the past few decades, there have been news headlines so shocking that we still hear and feel their impact. Think Roe V Wade, Monica Lewinsky, Epstein, Mabo and Hillsong. Big Talk is the series where we revisit the most memorable news of the past that has shaped the world we know today.

Big Talk is a two-part monthly podcast that exists on the current Big Small Talk feed. It’s a deep dive into the definitive news stories that listeners may have heard about but not actually know all the scandalous details.

Small Talk

It’s not a news headline, but it is what the girls are talking about.

Small Talk is the final instalment in the Big Small Talk trilogy, offering a weekly episode diving into the chronically online conversations women around the world are having. From debating cosmetic procedures and viral relationship advice to unpacking the latest social media trend, Hannah and Sarah share personal anecdotes and feature guests with expert advice to settle the score. Small Talk is our first vodcast and exists within the Big Small Talk feed, it also feels like having a wine with two of your yappiest friends. Released every Thursday at 7am.
