The Undone

Best podcast for: figuring out this whole “being an adult” thing

Genre: Youth Culture

Brand new from Mamamia, in partnership with All-New Yaris Cross, The Undone is a podcast for Gen-Z by Gen-Z. Two twenty-somethings, Emily Vernem and Lucy Neville, who share an inner city flat and a workplace at Mamamia, candidly dissect the big issues of life – from dating 'garbage fires' to politics, money, identity and health.

Stuff the British Stole

Best podcast for: learning the story behind the story of museum artifacts.

Genre: History

Another new podcast hot off the presses, produced by ABC Radio National, Mark Fennell (yes, again) explores the many interesting and exotic objects that the British Empire, well, stole from around the world. Behind the museum plaques, which only give you half the story, this podcast gives you a full picture of how these items came to depart their country of origin and end up in UK museums.

Happy listening!
