The White Mesh Episode

Emsolation ·

2021/11/10

This time around we’ve got much movie action to talk through. The Emsolation safe word has been used on the streets, Em attended a movie premiere, ruined her photo op on the red carpet, and bumped into Shaynna Blaze from ‘The Block’. She also has the opening of Melbourne Fashion Week to attend next week, all by her lonesome, so expect more awkward red carpet moments to follow. There’s also a trigger warning for anyone who might have experienced a miscarriage, or the loss of a child, as Em talks

Love Circle

2021/11/03

Are you ready to nestle into the comforting folds of our love circle? We figured as much, which is why we named this episode after the new version of circles that we pretty much didn’t know existed. Thank the Goddess of gossip and all things campery for the gift of that phrase, a phrase that we’d never heard until Gladys breathed life into it during her ICAC hearings. More on that later, first up though we’ve got updates on our podcast audience numbers. Em did a shoutout on her personal page for

We’re so happy you’re here, whether you listen to us first thing Thursday morning, or whenever the hell you can factor us into your busy schedule, we are down for your listening commitment. We also aren’t afraid to give you props for it...which is EXACTLY what we do as part of the intro. There’s also a quick update of the topics Em and Michael will cover off. If you haven’t worked it out by the title yet, a lot of what follows will revolve around Gwyneth Paltrow, who, yeah sure, is an actress, but

Haemorrhaging Bees Out My Ears

Go bloody EASY. ON. ME. bloody Adele. Em had an abundance of side quests assembling this podcast, well mostly just getting the introduction for this week's episode recorded was the problem. Adele is responsible for throwing a spanner in the works, so the intro you’re getting is the TENTH version Em recorded (the other 9 were deleted with a very exaggerated tap on the delete button, there’s to be no archiving and locking in the vault like Prince did here). It’s best if we let Em explain why Adele has

Thrilla in Manila with Diana and Camilla

Emsolation ·

2021/10/13

K before we usher in her high school bestie for chats, Em is gonna get things started by giving props to our front line healthcare workers. In particular, all the ones who took time out to share their reactions to Em’s Instagram story where she asked what they wanted people to know about their day to day lives treating Covid patients. Their reactions were a very sobering read, so much so that Em has added them as a highlight on her Instagram profile. The good news is that they had a huge positive

All The Dodgy Exes

Emsolation ·

2021/10/06

Right, before we get around the dodgy exes, we are gonna need to revisit life as a HUGE Toilet Dolly for ‘The Masked Singer’, which is where we find Em in the introduction for this episode. If you’re wondering if Em is keen on starting a Toilet Dolly collection we can confirm, she’s totes about it, so maybe get your knit/crochet on if that sort of thing rocks your hobby boat and you’re feeling gifty. We’ve also gotta take some time out to welcome in any new podcast listeners, especially those

Hello Dolly

2021/10/05

Title says it all really. We’re not going to waste your time by teasing you or going into lengthy explains, but it’s safe to say, if you’ve been hearing a certain voice singing away on TV promos, or whilst watching an actual TV show filled with over sized masked singers, then you probably know what THIS episode is all about. Inside Em and Michael will chat about all the rumours and forensically detailed discussions that took place online across all of the socials, especially that hotbed of

A Bit Dick Heavy

2021/09/29

How’s that for a podcast title, we can only hope it’s rolling past your eyes on repeat via the display of your digital radio or Spotify app. We are not sorry, we are actually warning you that this episode has a lot of dick built into its contents. We’ll explain more after Em sorts the introduction, which is where she spontaneously created that title (I did take note of it Em, and obviously totes loving it, it’s also way better than her other suggested option of ‘Dick Chat’) there’s a lot of side

We Is Shook

Emsolation ·

2021/09/22

EARTHQUAKE! I mean clearly we gotta start with the earth shaking across Victoria on the morning of us recording this episode (is anyone else singing Martika’s ‘I Feel the Earth Move’ in their heads when earthquake chat comes up? Nope just me. Well I can only hope you do now). As Em will admit, it’s actually nice to think about something besides everything else that’s going on right now. She also thinks it’s Mother Natures way of grabbing Victoria by the shoulders and giving us all a little shake

Are we all ready for a moment of gratitude? Em certainly is, she’s found her moment and she’s not afraid to wallow in it. Doing this podcast is giving her actual life and she will immerse herself up to the neck in that moment of gratitude, regardless of how twee or gross it might sound. This week has delivered us a pop culture bonanza so none of what you’re about to hear will challenge you in any way shape or form, so huzzah for that. To begin with, Em has a list of things to check off with you, we

Shuffle Crap

2021/09/08

Is this real life? Are we in the Matrix? Am I actually dreaming? What is sleep? Have we asked all of that already? Clearly we is living in some wild and hectic times and none of us want answers to those questions. Although we probs aren’t in the Matrix, so phew for that one at least. Anyway it's a much looser edition of the podcast this week, for a start both Em and Michael weren’t feeling the visual aspect of the pod, so no videos were filmed during the making of this episode. Em did however do

Let's Get Loud and Ranty

Can you stress craft and decorate your way out of a pandemic? We’re not entirely sure...but Em is currently doing ALL of the crafting and decorating research that she can manage, in a lah lah lah, nothing to see here, not watching the news, not even asking “how are you?” kind of vibe, that naturally comes from extended pandemic lockdowns. Thankfully the arrival of Spring and blossom and wattle blooms and sunshine are helping on the distraction front, there’s also a wedding anniversary for her and

We are setting shiz on fire peeps, you know, lockdown and all the other things that have been happening lately, all of it is making us wanna pile up all of the things into a corner and set to it with a flamethrower. Obviously nothing is actually being burnt, we is all about it figuratively of course, and we begin the bin fire rundown with a low key ramble from Em covering off all the clusterfluff that's gone down, from her tour being postponed AGAIN, then there’s an explosive period to factor in, a

Are you ready to do some deep breathing? Not the kind you do after some huffy puffy or running to catch your chosen option of public transport...bugger that nonsense. We’re talking about that other kind of nonsense breathing you do, you know, when you’re desperately trying to centre yourself, finding your “moment of zen”, or just trying to keep on smiling and not scream, that kind of breathing. Em will talk you through it, plus she’ll give you the ultimate excuse to keep listening to this pod while

Michael’s Snitchy Text

How good is a pandemic lockdown? Get absolutely farked...is what we wanna say, and clearly we just did, but at least we didn’t capitalise it to make it REALLY STAND OUT huh. Anyway, this episode finds our fabulous leader finally hitting the virtual pandemic wall. So for this recording of Emsolation, you just need to visualise Em barricaded behind her bedroom door, her two year old Elio trying to get in, some half done home renos underway, a house full of family members can’t escape, plus having had

The House of Emsolation

Emsolation ·

2021/08/04

Pretty sure we should start this description by saying that this house is PACKED! Like we are talking a hoarders level of content, crammed into each and every nook and cranny of the episode. Thankfully as you navigate this podcast, you can rest assured that none of it is concealing a long dead pet (that we know of) or at risk of toppling over onto you as you try and squeeze past it. So to begin Em’s got an update on where she’s at with her recent ADHD diagnosis, which includes a stack of great

YAAAAY ‘LYMPICS!!! Yes, after being delayed for a year, thanks to a global pandemic, the socially distanced and deeply disinfected 2020 Olympics have finally begun in Tokyo, and to say it’s been a different experience from previous ‘lympics is an understatement, with a no shit Sherlock sprinkled on top. Regardless of the empty stadiums and the rather sombre opening ceremony, our fearless leader Em has done a back two and a half somersault with two and one half twists pike into ALL. OF. IT. So much

A Tip of Sequila and a Courtesy Finger

Let’s have a bite from a big fat healthy TRUTH sandwich, we’re ALL TIRED, it’s all shit right now and Em and Michael feel like they can’t expend any more emotional bandwidth on the stuff you probably want them to talk about. So whilst they will touch on things like the Covid-19 situation unfolding around Australia, the latest Free Britney news, and even why the hell the Olympics are still going ahead, they can’t find the fun in all of that right now. They also can’t pretend to find it and smile

Anvil

The title of this week's episode, ANVIL, will be a word you’ll wanna shout a lot during the start of this podcast, don’t worry, the fact we’ve chosen it as a name for the episode means that your yelling of that word, whilst not being heard in any way, shape or form, will result in it being repeated back to you and also acknowledged by the time we get to the wrapping up of things. In between, well once Em’s high school bestie Michael is ushered in, we get underway with thanks for Michael’s

2021/07/07

Are you ready for an entire episode devoted to adoring Kat Stewart? If your answer is, who the hell is Kat Stewart...then HOW VERY DARE YOU, but also please allow us to educate you on her brilliance. Fun fact, she’s the Emsolation podcasts number one ticket holder, okay so we don’t actually have any tickets, (aside from the ones we have on ourselves, naturally) but what we mean is she’s officially our biggest fan and has been since Emsolation first started. She holds that position because she is a
