Hello our treasuressss!

We hope this episode finds you so well - wherever you are! We’re coming to you with a gorgy lil Q&A Ratfood packed to the brim with giggles and a healthy sprinkling of earnestness (warning!! TEARS ALERT!!) all answering questions that you guys sent us on Instagram.

We cover everything from our birth charts/star signs, to what we think the opening musical number to our lives would be to even (for a brief moment) SPORTS. This ep really does have it all.

We also open up about how we navigate body talk, fatphobia and insecurities in our relationship (both business and personal) and touch on a final wrap up of Edinburgh fringe before we’re back in our trusty studio next week!

Thanks so much for stopping by. Lots of love as always and we’ll see you for another Ratbag this coming Monday.

Big fat cheese cubes to you all.

xx

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.
