Megan has spoken about this in the past and basically said she was at the Sunroom launch event and Lucy was blind and ripped into her for being a gossip reporter. That was a while ago though so I’m not sure if anything new has happened

She posted about her kids having gastro, then the next slide was out getting her nails done. Glad someone else thought that was poor form, she definitely doesn’t take negative feedback very well.

She’s always been very defensive if someone dares question her. Got a big ego that one

I don’t really know much about Megan Pustetto but everything I see about her leads me to think she’s just a massive pest. Happy to be told otherwise.
She is a media journalist, she is reporting on events that have happened.
Journalist reporting on a story, it happens a lot….

She definitely has personal vendettas that go beyond journalism. This Dannii person is a nutcase though no doubt about that

journalist is a stretch lol she might have a degree but she just spreads gossip and is the most biased ‘reporter’ that ever was. Always having feuds with people. I don’t know that Danni person but others have said she’s a bit crazy but how you can release 6 episodes about a car crash that never happened? Not great journalism ..,,,

The Danni thing was crazy but it’s Danni that was unhinged there. Had no idea who she was but from what I can gather it wasn’t the first time she’d done something extreme like that. She was attention seeking and it blew up because Megan covered it. The more it blew up, the more other members of the family got involved. Hence the additional episodes. Some were short and only a few mins long. Danni could’ve nipped it in bud early on but she let it play out and then got embarrassed and took it out on Megan.
Megan is not perfect it gets a lot more flack than other journalists. She made a good point on this week’s podcast about a recent article I think on yahoo about Ella ding, podcasts wars and the rise of the reality star podcaster. It was a great article but did not paint Ella in a good light at all. Wasn’t much nicer to Abbie, Britt etc. Megan asked the journalist if he’d got any trolling etc about article and he’d had no negative feedback. If Megan had posted it she would’ve been slammed.
I really enjoy the tea she serves. She is the only podcast that genuinely calls out bad behaviour and doesn’t crawl up the arses of other podcasters.

The shoes
On the podcast I recall they would always say Zara is the fashion one and really into clothes but all her outfits are awful? Maybe it's me and I'm just not highbrow enough but I personally prefer Michelle's outfits!Zara has the worst taste in fashion and the fan girls lap it up and tell her how amazing she looks

I’m not a fan of her style but I appreciate that she does her own thing and doesn’t try to look like a carbon copy of everyone else.
The bigger problem is the way she writes. For a “writer” it is soooo cringe!! On her stories today for example - “birsday” and “back2werk2tomorrow” “the stuffffs I read on break”

I had exactly the same thought! She looks 35-40 to me.

You know what I don't have time for ... We Don't Have Time For This. I was an OG listener from ep 1 but interest started waning toward the end of last year and after slogging through a catch-up session of the last five or six eps (not including Bestie Hotline, they've never tickled my pickle) I think I am done. Truly. Left the Facebook group today (am I tripping thinking it used to be real and funny? It's now just a bunch of privileged wank?) and couldn't even finish the last few episodes. The vibe ... has ... changed. Hard unrelate to 90% of what they say. The trenches don't actually have to trench that hard; they whinge about rods they've made for their own backs while actually being in SWEET positions (Revz crying poor all the time but stay-caying at expensive Sydney hotels, travelling to the US, heaps of Botox, shopping all the time? Gem clearly loaded complete with au pair, two homes, designer clothing etc? Heaps of family support? Massive village?)
Even started to get the ick over Gem's Instagram content which I didn't think I would. I'd followed her for years before the podcast started, that's how I was in there like swimwear from day dot. Some of the personal tit she shares about her kids and family just blows my mind, especially after freaking out over the peachy sex toy PR packages coming to her home address but ... still posting heaps of easily identifiable stuff ... openly talking about her kids sports and hobbies, where they are when ... swimwear pics ... footage of her littlest pissing himself?!?
And SO. MUCH. SHOW CHAT.

Agreed. I stopped listening around the same time as you. Just another two *extremely* privileged women from Sydney who need to find things to complain about. Kate's botox habit and hair extensions must cost her THOUSANDS yet she cries poor at the drop of a hat. Gemma has an uncanny ability to make every situation about herself. They are also very judgmental but will find a hundred ways to tell you that they're not. And the live show. The bleeping live show. They are just two theater geeks making it out like they are changing lives. Please, it's just a way for them to be away from their families and children. Gem - your kids aren't that special. Kate, you're not that special.
