She stood up in front of the crowd and called Nadia her sister. So when Nadia moved two doors down from Miranda’s house, it felt like the natural next step. Why wouldn’t you want to live near your soul friend? But then… something shifted.Invitations stopped coming. Texts went unanswered. Nadia couldn’t name what had changed—but she could feel it.

This week, our inbox serves up a story that had us shaking our heads more than nodding. Someone writes in to tell us about the time their friend pulled what they called a “genius” revenge stunt on his cheating girlfriend. But when the dust settles, our hosts aren’t buying the mastermind narrative—and in fact, they think this so-called genius move might’ve crossed a line (or three).Was it clever? Was it cathartic? Or was it just plain messed up? Tune in as we unpack what actually makes for satisfying revenge, why getting even isn’t always as sweet as it seems, and the very fine line between justice and petty chaos.💔 Join the Ghosts of Boyfriends Past Patreon now!

Marnie thought something was missing in her love life... so she got creative.What do you do when something very dear to you has gone missing? You put up lost posters, of course! That's exactly what Marnie did when she lamented the lack of romance in her life. But what started off as a quirky way to 'beat the boring' in the pre-Tinder dating world quickly went viral. So did Marnie actually date the people she met through her posters? Did she find the love of her life?Marnie Clarke (@msmarnieclarke) is a Brisbane-based singer-songwriter, writer, and creative who still has access to that email address she used on the posters, just saying.
