In this episode of Untidy, Hannah and Matty hit domestic standoffs. Matty faces productivity politics with Optimal Art in opposition, while Hannah reports back from cohabitation life with a bit of dirty laundry on Pilates Partner … But the gems are in the listener letters this episode. For one Soccer Mum, neurodivergence intercepted best intentions and got her publicly dismissed from the role. Meanwhile, a well-meaning listener gave a carpark stranger a whole lot more than he was bargaining for when an innocent interaction got spicy.  We live for your DMs. Keep ‘em coming!
