About this listen

With over 35 years of friendship, four marriages, two divorces and three children between them, there is pretty much no subject that these two have left untouched. In fact, it is a miracle that these two have not run out of things to say. A regular weekly three-hour walk with lots of ‘chit and chat’ led to the birth of their Chitty Chat podcast. Loaded with enthusiasm and fun, each week Emma and Bobo pick a subject for a deep dive, a few tangents, with lots of wisdom and laughter along the way.

  • Friendship, Regret, and The Badger Who Saw Everything
    Feb 17 2026

    This week on Chitty Chat, Emma & Bobo reunite with their schoolmate Justin—aka “The Badger”—to celebrate 40+ years of friendship, bad decisions, and stories that should probably stay buried.

    From schoolyard chaos to marriages, divorces, kids, distance (Sydney to New Zealand), and the occasional argument that absolutely should’ve ended things but didn’t, they unpack what long-term friendship really looks like: messy, loyal, hilarious, and slightly unhinged.

    With prosecco discoveries, beer debates, and relentless teasing, it’s a funny, heartfelt reminder that real friends know your entire history… and still pick up your call.

    Grab a drink, call your oldest mate, and join us for The Badger’s in Town—because some friendships survive purely out of love… and mutual blackmail.

  • We Tried to Look Fabulous… Then Came the Passport Photo
    Feb 2 2026

    This week on Chitty Chat, Emma and Bobo tackle the big question: why are we all trying to look 26 when we’re actually tired and have laundry to fold?

    From the Netflix binge of Younger to Golden Globes glam, disastrous passport photos, Korean eye patches, LED “friendly serial killer” masks, and the cruel truth about necks and hands… it’s a hilarious deep dive into ageing, beauty culture, and the ridiculous effort it takes to look “effortless.”

    Come for the laughs. Stay for the uncomfortable truths. And yes — we’re absolutely still judging our passport photos.

  • New Year, New you, Old you
    Jan 8 2026

    It’s January — so obviously we’re all supposed to have our lives together by now.
    New habits. New mindset. New personality. Preferably before lunch.

    In this episode, Emma and Bobo dive headfirst into the whole “New Year, New You” nonsense — unpacking why resolutions feel inspiring for about five minutes before immediately making us want to lie down forever. They talk broken promises to ourselves, the guilt of not “doing enough,” and the very real emotional support role played by snacks (biscuits absolutely count as dinner, thank you!).

    Somewhere between the laughs, they land on a refreshingly kind truth:
    you don’t need to reinvent yourself to be worthy. You can want better things for yourself without bullying yourself into them.

    Emma wrestles with the urge to improve everything, while Bobo calmly reminds us that the “old you” has actually survived a lot — and maybe deserves a little respect, a cup of tea, and a very long lie down.
