The Bird and the Bandit

The Bird and the Bandit

First things first… we have no fucking idea what we’re talking about. We have no official qualifications when it comes to fertility, pregnancy, parenting, relationships, …nada. So if you’ve come here looking for certified, reliable advice, you’ve taken a wrong turn. We’re just two gals, who love a tipple, who’ve been/are going through it, and wanna uncover the unspoken nitty, gritty, sticky, tricky, lonely, funny, wild shit that never gets spoken about out loud. So if you’re up on your fifth feed of the night, preparing for the romantic, perfectly timed and temperature tested, pre breakfast, legs up attempt at love (ha! *baby) making, or just want to see if you can make sense of any of this mayhem along with us, we’d love to have you. Sincerely, what the actual fuck, Birdbones & Bandit 🍷🍼👯♀️

Welcome back for Part Two of BABs Tumut! 

If you haven't listened to Part One, head back and catch up on that first and meet the gals that are about to pour their hearts and souls out again here in Part Two.

This time we move in to a discussion about something so many of us suffer in silence with. The cruel and unusual mystery that is endometriosis. Among other topics covered today, this is a raw and vulnerable (and tipsy) chat ...

We’ve taken a short, much needed break in wine country… but it hasn’t all been restful!


While we were on our little hiatus we were working on something very special - our biggest episode yet.


We were joined by some of our nearest and dearest over a wine or two, to talk about their experiences, that we know will hit home for a lot of our listeners. 


We cover some of the hard topics that our beautiful friends have dealt w...

The Bird and the Bandit are back for Part 2 of Dynamics. Leaning further into the dynamic changes in relationships when it comes to one of our favourite topics...sex. How has the most intimate and fun rendezvous changed from the steamy, carefree party-for-two, to a carefully timed, scheduled duty, and how to we keep that spark to keep sizzling? Is it possible? Fuck yes it is (but how??). Maybe you can make an omelette without crack...

Hey Babs, we're back! And good news, this long-awaited episode is all about one of our favourite things to dish on... our relationships! 
We're taking a deep dive into the rollercoaster of relationship changes during fertility and postpartum. As well as covering the support we absolutely needed and the stuff we didn't even realise we needed from our partners. Oh, and you know we can't resist a good chat abou...

There was one particular call in that Soph just couldn’t bite her tongue about until we do the dedicated episode. 

Nothin like a nosy, self entitled, presumptuous stranger to get our blood boiling in the supermarket am I right??

Welcome back! If you haven't listened to Part 1, head back for a little context and to see how quickly we went through the wines to end up here. 


There were so many responses for this topic, too many to fit into 2 episodes. So some of those hard hitting topics are going to get their own special place in the spotlight where we can really dive in, and get especially furious (and tipsy) about the extremely personal issues tha...

The Bird and Bandit are back with a two-parter! We had such a massive response from listeners after the first episode with stories of some real doozies, and to be honest we got a little carried away. There were so many messages and responses about "heroes" chiming in wherever they can to offer tips like "have you tried feeding them", weird, uninvited touching, and a real favourite, "Just don't think ab...

TW: 

We want to let you know that this episode discusses pregnancy loss. While this can be a difficult and sensitive topic, it is an important and common aspect of the fertility journey. In our commitment to being open and honest with you, we want to share that pregnancy loss has been a part of both of our experiences and so these discussions may occur through the podcast. 


If you are currently experiencing a loss, please know t...

Hey BABS! We did it, we started a f#@king podcast! 

We are so excited that you're here but we cannot stress this enough.... we have ZERO idea what we are talking about or what we are doing, please be gentle. 

This sexy little teaser is just a welcome to the chaos, basically. Something to wet your whistle, if you will. 

So if you love a tipple, thrive on chaos, and feel lost in this shit storm of fertility, sex, relationships, pre...

    Betrayal Season 5

    Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
