Untidy

Expecting for the unsuspecting with Jacob Dawson

In this episode of Untidy, Matilda and Hannah chat with artist and filmmaker, Jacob Dawson, who flips the script and interviews the girls. So, what happens when a soon-to-be dad realises 2026 is officially ‘The Year of the Baby’… and decides to crowdsource his entire parenting education from two women who have conceived, birthed, and (at time of recording) successfully retained their children? Jacob everything he didn’t know he needed to know about conception, pregnancy, birth, and how not to completely lose the plot along the way. From fertile windows and freezer meals to pregnancy naps, hypnobirthing, and why vacuuming might be the sexiest pre-conception move of all, nothing is off limits. This is Expecting 101 for the blissfully naive, the quietly panicking, and anyone who enjoys learning about babies via equal parts warmth, wisdom, and absolute nonsense. No medical advice. Many opinions. Strong encouragement to be a snack king ...

Free yourself from the elf!

In this episode of Untidy, Matilda and Hannah make a final bid for efficiency to cover all the talking points that got lost in favour of alluring tangents. They unpack Hannah’s devastation of being emotionally manipulated by AI dog videos, debate whether a listener’s bush poo was a crime of public indecency or an approved solution, and offer inspiration for ridding yourself of Elf on a Shelf. Hannah’s driving out the neighbours and getting duped by the false promises of petty chores, while Matty is crying real, bona fide, genuine human tears. A huge thank you for all of your love, support and being part of the show for 2025!

Do you wanna feel my foibles?

In this episode of Untidy, Hannah and Matilda get bum-clenchingly honest about relationships, emotional triggers, fear of failure, and the disappointing truth that doing “the work” doesn’t mean you’re finally “fixed”... (Wait ... what?!) It’s Matty’s turn to talk Hannah off the ledge this week! They talk hyper-vigilance, catching petty old patterns resurfacing, the pressure to get relationships right, and why knowing too much can sometimes make things harder. From breadcrumb conversations to the immensity of merging lives, they take a confronting look at the messy middle of building healthy relationships amongst an ocean of quirks, failings, foibles and feelings. Just when they thought they had it all together! Earnest. Relatable. Slightly confronting. Very Untidy. A little bit silly.
