Their work has been recognised by not only major TV and news publications, but even The Royal Family. Tom and Al chat everything from the importance of having diverse...

Trigger Warning: Jem's ego takes a beating in this episode.  Jem had her first real crush at the start of 2020, but it didn't go to plan.   So, of course, we invited Jem's queer awakening onto the Fearless podcast to find out what really went down between them.  Strap yourselves in, this is a real rollercoaster. Note: Tom & Jem are really proud to be able to facilitate these honest and vulnerable conversations and to let our audience in on the complexities of life. We want our...

Sorry everyone, Tom is off the market!  Anyway, enough click bait.  In this episode of Fearless, we chat all things diabetes, gaslighting and mourning a life you can never have.  Tom & Jem explore the lives they grieve for, but also the fine line between mourning and lusting for a life. Tom discusses the life he misses out on because of his diabetes while Jemah explains how she is frustrated that her sexual assault will forever be a part of her story.  This and plenty more in the new...

Are Tom and Jem actually terrible people? In this episode Jem talks about the lesson of accountability that she learnt when she made a fool of herself on a night out and Tom talks about sneaking burgers into the bar. They discuss pooping in front of friends, posties, the power of storytelling and the victorian gag order that makes Jem a criminal. Also Tom reads a Langston Hughes poem because Tom edited this podcast so Jem can't make him cut it out.

Jem had her first ever orgasm!  After being sexually assaulted five years ago, Jem's body shut down. It linked feelings of pleasure to feelings of harm and in a subconscious act of self-protection,  it stopped arousal in it's tracks.  Since then, Jem has been very vocal about sexual assault, orgasms and breaking down the stigma surrounding sex in general. She has been published in Vice, featured on Triple J and even hosted her own Quest to Cum event.  After well over a year of healing and...

WARNING: This episode was recorded two weeks ago, so everything is irrelevant. Jemah is now single, unemployed and in therapy. Tom is still the same old stable Tom, but you get our drift. Keep this in mind while listening, and the episode gets a whole lot funnier. Ah, how quickly life can change.  For now, strap yourself in. This episode delves into identity, sliding into DM's, death and the meaning of life.

Okay, so we know the world is super weird and scary at the moment but we chat all things COVID19 to try and bring things back into perspective. We had to record this over zoom because we are now in two different states so we apologise for the low fi quality (Our sound guy Phil made us write that). So sit back and open your ear holes, the time has...
