So excited to bring you this one all the way from the UK — we sat down with R&B singer, songwriter and producer ODEAL during his Australia tour. We get into his music journey, how his sound has evolved, and the moment he realised things were really taking off. He also speaks on staying present and enjoying the process as everything grows. And of course, we tap into the Bittersweet side — from his most toxic dating moments to how his “type” has changed, and why holiday romances will always hit different.

This week we're joined by Ciang Ajeic. We spoke about dating and what it actually means to be “doing too much” for someone, from overgiving and planning everything to losing yourself in the process - limerence, ego, and why we sometimes confuse obsession with love. Should a man like a woman more for the relationship to work out? We touch on the idea of “locking in” and allowing things to be. We also discuss TikTok trends like “you the birthday,” how tiktok has become the old facebook and so much more!!

This episode is for anyone who’s ever over-analysed a situationship, soft-launched a man, or questioned whether being in a relationship is even the flex it used to be. We’re joined by Chanté Joseph to break down her viral article “Is Having a Boyfriend Embarrassing Now?” We get into dating fatigue, why more women are opting out of relationships, embracing singlehood, and what it looks like to build a full life outside of romantic love.

This week on Bittersweet, Sydney-based content creator and host Kevin Achampong joins us for a chaotic and honest conversation about life, content creation, and the absolute state of the dating scene.

In this episode of Bittersweet, we sit down with Bendere Oboya to talk about her early life as an athlete, the discipline it takes to perform at an elite level, and the decision behind her short retirement from sport. She also shares the inspiration behind launching the Oboya Foundation and the impact she hopes to make. And of course, we add a Bittersweet twist — debating the ultimate question: is it ever ok to date your friend's ex?

This week, we caught up with content creator Brooke to unpack the controversy behind America's Next Top Model — was it a product of its time or pure exploitation? From the treatment of contestants to the power dynamics led by Tyra Banks, we revisit the legacy.

In this episode, we talk about Half Smart's rebrand — why it happened, what shifting into this next chapter looks like, and what listeners can expect moving forward. We also spoke about Valentine’s Day and why everyone is trying so hard to be nonchalant in dating. When did effort become embarrassing? How long should you actually wait before buying someone a gift? And are we ruining relationships by pretending we don’t care?

This week I caught up with Winnie Manyang, a Melbourne-based model and creator. We got into everything — from her journey with content to the weird energy between Ariana Grande & Cynthia Erivo on their press tour. We also talked about the sudden urge for Aussie women (especially our Black girlies) in their late 20s to pack up and move overseas, whether we should start being a little mean to men, and why pulling up to someone’s house unannounced needs to end. We also dived into mother–daughter dynamics and the types of friends to look out for. This conversation went everywhere in the best way.

In this episode with Kristine Acheyo, we dive into the recent Kat Clark controversy and how it sparked a shift in Kristine’s content creation journey — from finding her voice to setting boundaries online.
