The 'Australia Effect' & Meghan and Harry's Curious Party Edit

It's sales season, and come on, you know you should be click-frenzying the Black Friday out of Cyber Monday.... It's exhausting, but also - is Christmas shopping dead?

Plus, What is a 'Grief Vampire' and why are so many Australians flocking to see one at his packed-out theatre tour? Jessie, Holly and Amelia are talking, mediums, and exploitation.

And: She Was Ready to Have Her 15th Child. Then Came the Felony Charges.' - That's the title of an article in the New York Times that's started a conversation about how old is too old to become a parent? The mother in question is 65, and fighting to regain custody of her infant twins.

Plus: The royal tour we almost missed, Harry and Meghan's birthday party ghosting and is there such a thing as 'the Australia effect'?
