Babe of the Day

We love babin' comedian Nikki Britton and Emma Thompson, and one of them was nice enough to join us to talk about the other (spoiler: not Emma).

Lucille Ball was a gorgeous, ballsy trailblazer who got things done: guest babe comedian Nikki Britton breaks down just what made Lucy so damn lovable.

Well sometimes life just gets in the way of a free daily podcast - we're shocked! But that's OK. We're going to take 5, have some oranges, reset and get back to you later this year. In the meantime enjoy binging on the more than 50 babes already out there in the world.

And check out our other shows at www.betapods.net such as Total Reboot and The Tuck Shop.

And check out our instagram at www.instagram.com/babeofthedaypodcast

And we'll see you soon.

She used to be Australia's best kept secret, starting out in Ozploitation flicks in the 1970s. Now Jacki Weaver is everyone's favourite (slightly terrifying) movie matriarch
