The walls of Sydney Estonian House have now officially heard it all. On 17 September 2025, Estonia’s most unfiltered podcast duo Salajutud (“Secret Chats”) — Mallukas and Kristina Pärtelpoeg — finally touched down in Australia, and their Sydney show was everything fans dreamed of: outrageous, champagne-fuelled and gloriously unfiltered.
It was a very different kind of night at Eesti Maja. Gone were the usual committee-meeting vibes. Instead: 50 fresh faces, many who’d never set foot in the building before. Backpackers en route back to Estonia, a fan who’d flown in from Singapore, young women in mini skirts, couples, groups of mates, and a solid showing of men too. They came, they drank champagne straight from the bottle, they queued for Salajutud T-shirts like it was Taylor Swift tickets on release day. Salajutud clearly has some very dedicated fans in Australia.
On stage: two sofa chairs, red ambience, a couple of flutes of bubbly, and two women who don’t know the meaning of “too far”.
They tore open listener letters and let loose:
- A husband who insists on doing everything naked. (Spoiler: his wife is not impressed??)
- A hot-and-spicy date that went from digestive disaster to “happily ever after”. (Let’s just say, not safe for the dinner table with kids around.)
The audience screamed, cringed and cheered — the rule was simple: the more embarrassing, the better.
Salajutud works because it dares to say the things everyone else only thinks.
Listeners send in their darkest, funniest, most cringe-inducing stories, and Kristina and Mallukas happily spill them live, no names attached. Listeners get the thrill of recognition, the catharsis of laughter, and the comfort of knowing they’re not alone in life’s messiness. It’s therapy by laughter — with bubbly. “Everybody makes mistakes!” is the show’s unofficial motto, and in Sydney it landed perfectly.
The duo even confessed old secrets of their own: Mallukas’s first Aussie adventure 15 years ago.
Mallukas had crossed oceans for an Aussie love interest… only to be spectacularly ghosted on arrival.
With no money, she couchsurfed, survived on backpacker leftovers, and blogged about “fabulous Sydney” while secretly living her worst hostel life.
Fast-forward to today and things are a little more luxe. The duo aren’t just surviving, they’re thriving — and filming the whole thing. The Australian tour is being filmed for an eight-episode Go3 series premiering later this year — so yes, Sydney’s secrets (and maybe a few ghosts from the past) will be coming soon to a screen near you.
The Sydney show wrapped up the only way Salajutud know how — with champagne, gossip, and an audience buzzing so hard they spilled straight into bar-hopping mode afterwards.
One thing’s certain: Estonian Australians will be talking about this night for a long time. As the Salajutud ladies teased before the tour: “You asked. You begged. You even threatened us with kangaroos and boomerangs. And finally — okay, we’re here!” And yes — they delivered.
Next stop: Perth on 19 September — get ready, Western Australia, your secrets are about to be spilled. Click here for details and tickets.
