Can we be hilarious, angry and insightful all at the same time? Oh yeah! Join Lucinda Price AKA Froomes, Madison Griffiths and Kate Mildenhall as we go on a madcap journey of young womanhood. From beauty to pop culture, bodies to botox… and the all-too-frequent realities of young women on campus dealing with power imbalance, coercion and abuse. Sometimes humour is our best weapon.

Lucinda Price AKA Froomes is a writer, broadcaster and comedian across book, TV and podcast formats. Her debut book, All I Ever Wanted Was To Be Hot, was an instant best-seller. She’s also the CEO of FROOMESWORLD and has amassed a giant following online.

Madison Griffiths’ latest book Sweet Nothings tells the stories of four women at university who end up in romantic relationships with their professors. It’s an unflinching critique of the hierarchies that distort relationships and can leave lasting scars on students.  Moderated by author, Kate Mildenhall (The Hiding Place).

Madison Griffiths is a writer, artist and producer. She is the author of Sweet Nothings and Tissue. She is also the co-producer of Tender, an award-winning Broadwave podcast that follows what happens in the aftermath of abusive relationships. Her essays have been published widely in The Saturday Paper, The Guardian, The Monthly, SBS Online, Meanjin, Kill Your Darlings and more. In 2022, she won the Our Watch Award as administered by the Walkley Foundation for Excellence in Reporting on Violence Against Women and Children.

Lucinda Price (aka Froomes) is a writer, broadcaster and comedian. Her debut book, All I Ever Wanted Was To Be Hot, is a funny, provocative retrospective on the last thirty years of Western beauty standards. An instant best-seller, it won an Australian Book Industry Award (ABIA) for Small Publishers’ Adult Book of the Year. Price was also nominated for the 2025 Matt Richell Award for New Writer of the Year.
