She gets up at 3 a.m. for work, is raising two children under age five and is building a side hustle as a property developer and renovator. So it is little wonder that Sunrise news presenter Edwina Bartholomew can’t be bothered by those who question her life choices - whether that’s arriving at the studio in dirty clothes or living in separate houses from her husband during the work week. In a chat that is both frank and funny, Edwina gets real about her unapologetic approach to both motherhood and marriage. She also opens up about the friendships she has forged with women working at rival TV networks, and explains why - having turned 40 in the last year - she is putting a new priority on her health.

Caterina Mete - better known to children and parents around Australia and the globe as the Red Wiggle - recently made history when she announced she is expecting identical twin girls. Now Caterina, who is the first-ever pregnant Wiggle, joins us to talk for the first time about the emotional path she took to get here. Having conceived her babies through IVF, she explains her decision to embark on a fertility journey on her own, discusses the setbacks she encountered along the way - which included a miscarriage - and the joy she felt when she learnt she was pregnant. She also reveals the often surprising reaction to her baby news from friends and family, and the impact of being a member of The Wiggles who is embarking on motherhood according to her own very modern rule book. A warning that today’s episode touches on subject matter that could be triggering for some listeners.

For more than 20 years, Hamish Blake has been a familiar face on the Australian entertainment landscape, moving seamlessly between the worlds of radio, television and podcasting. So what’s been the secret to his success? In a rare in-depth interview, the popular entertainer and two-time Gold Logie winner chalks it up to luck - as well as a healthy dose of fun. Case in point: a spirited discussion about black cat lollies, the burial rituals of ancient Egypt and his theory that a well-stocked snack cupboard is key to a happy workplace. Of course, there is a lot more to Hamish than mere clowning around. The Lego Masters host also opens up about the public’s ongoing fascination with his marriage to Zoë Foster Blake, talks about the joy and chaos of fatherhood to two young children, discusses how he and longtime creative partner and friend Andy Lee have navigated the different life paths they have embarked upon and finally addresses what was really going through his head when the cameras cut to him during Sonia Kruger’s infamous Gold Logie acceptance speech last year. Lego Masters will premiere Sunday April 14 at 7pm on the Nine Network.

Brittany Hockley has come full circle in that she first rose to fame on reality TV, and is currently starring on another reality TV show - this time, of course, in the jungle. But a lot has happened in the intervening six years… It was 2018 when Brittany appeared on The Bachelor in the now-infamous season featuring Nick Cummins, yet the woman joining today’s episode of Something To Talk About has come a long way since with the former hospital radiographer going on to co-host both a successful podcast and radio show with her close friend and fellow Bachelor alum Laura Byrne. Just before she flew out to South Africa for the new season of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!, Brittany sat down for a wide-ranging conversation about being off the grid while she is in the jungle, navigating both the good and the bad that comes with being one of the most high-profile women in the country, and how she feels about the narrative that still pits successful women against one another. She also speaks at length about the fertility journey she’s been on over the past few years. As she says: “No matter where you're at in your journey to motherhood, you are allowed to feel how you feel. That is something that's often taken away from women: that they're not allowed to feel anything. But you are.” I Am a Celebrity… Get Me Out Here! airs at 7.30pm on Network 10 and 10Play.

Television presenter and singer David Campbell will soon mark an important milestone: ten years since the day he decided to stop drinking alcohol. In a wide ranging conversation with Something To Talk About, David - who is, of course, the son of Australian rock legend Jimmy Barnes - opens up about why he wanted to break the intergenerational cycle of addiction in his family, how sobriety has impacted his marriage - and whether he sees a day where he tells his eldest son of the role he played in changing his parents’ relationship with alcohol. You can read David’s column from 2015, “My family’s alcoholism stops with me” here. The Healthy-ish episode on being sober curious, featuring Sarrah, can be found here.

Ten years after her son Luke Batty was murdered by his father, Rosie Batty continues her tireless campaign to raise awareness about domestic and family violence. But perhaps even more remarkably, she has managed to find hope in the aftermath of such an unimaginable tragedy. On today’s episode of Something To Talk About, Rosie sits down for a powerful conversation in which she reflects on the complexities of grief, as well as her memories of Luke, the beloved son she lost when he was aged just 11. She also speaks about what needs to be done in bringing an end to domestic and family violence in Australia, and explains how she was able to rediscover hope - even joy - after enduring the worst day of her life. If you have experienced or at risk of family violence, you can call the national counselling service 1800RESPECT. Rosie’s new memoir 'Hope', is available to pre-order now, and will be in bookstores on April 3, 2024.

She’s one of the most well known women on Australian TV, and yet, as she marks three years on air as the co-host of Sunrise, Natalie Barr reveals she was initially reluctant to accept the job and found herself second-guessing whether she was right for the role. She also opens up about establishing an on-air rapport with Matt Shirvington after the departure of long time co-host David Koch, tuning out the white noise of social media - and how she handles speculation about the supposed tension between her and her female colleagues. “Whatever a catfight is, I can’t remember any in the Sunrise office,” she tells Something To Talk About. At 55, she is feeling more confident than ever – even if her inner Catholic school girl fears it might be “bragging” to admit it. But it’s also a chapter of her life that has seen her two sons both move out of home, leaving Natalie and her husband adjusting to being empty-nesters.

Few women in Australian media - or, for that matter, the country’s public sphere as a whole - have exerted as much influence or blazed as many trails as Ita Buttrose AC, OBE. Now, as she prepares to step down from her role as chair of the ABC, the 82-year-old publishing veteran joins Something To Talk About for a frank discussion about her final months at the ABC, which have been marked by controversy and scrutiny following the departure of fill-in radio presenter Antoinette Lattouf late last year. Ita also responds to her critics, reveals whether she harbours any regrets when she takes stock of her career and shares her view on whether it is really possible to separate reporting from commentary in the era of social media and 24/7 opinion cycle. Ahead of International Women’s Day, Ita tells host Sarrah Le Marquand whether she ever suffers from the voice of self-doubt that haunts so many women, and if, after nearly six decades in the workplace, she still encounters the boys club. And, of course, after five years at the helm of the ABC, what will she do next?

Today on Something To Talk About, Jules Robinson sits down to reveal some big family news: nearly three and a half years after she and her husband Cameron Merchant welcomed their son Ollie, she is pregnant again. Since finding fame in 2019 and meeting Cam on Married At First Sight, Jules has gone on to launch businesses and a fashion label, hosted a podcast and will soon publish her first book, an advice manual that she says reflects her accidental role as a “modern-day agony aunt”. Now, as she revels in her second pregnancy, Jules is opening up about her and Cam’s hopes to grow their family even further, as well as her struggles with PMDD, a medical diagnosis that she says turned her into a “complete Jekyll and Hyde”. Plus: Jules reveals whether she and Cameron are watching the current season of MAFS, and whether they would go on the show in 2024.

Leah Purcell has worn a number of different hats across her prolific career. Actor. Director. Author. And yes… even a stint as Shania Twain’s support act. But beyond the accolades and the awards, it’s her behind-the-scenes work in which she takes the most pride - whether acting as a First Nations cultural advisor on set, or mentoring thousands of Indigenous actors and performers over the years. Today, Leah sits down with Something To Talk About to discuss the scope of her influential career, but also to speak frankly about her devastation over the Voice to Parliament referendum, the mother whose death she says “set me free” and the difficult but joyous childhood that led her to where she is today. High Country will premiere with a double episode on Tuesday March 19, exclusively on Binge.

At first glance, they may not seem to have much in common. Julie Bishop is a former foreign minister and current university chancellor, while Pip Edwards is co-founder and creative director of one of the country’s most successful activewear brands. But in the past five years, they have forged an unlikely yet extremely close friendship that has endured despite their vastly different backgrounds, careers, ages and family circumstances. So what happens when you put Bishop and Edwards - who are undoubtedly two of the most talked-about women in Australia - in front of a microphone? We invited them in to the studio for a lively and free-flowing conversation to find out what they have to say about supporting each other through media scandals and relationship woes, how they handle the paparazzi (even the ones who - yes - hide behind garbage bins), their mutual fashion for passion and what they’re texting to one another in private. You can find Julie Bishop on Instagram @honjuliebishop, or check out her website for more information. You can find Pip Edwards on Instagram, or via her website P.E Nation.

She rose to fame as the literal girl next door on the hit TV series Packed To The Rafters, but actor Zoë Ventoura has always remained something of an enigma. In fact, she has so carefully maintained her privacy that no-one even knew she was pregnant until after her son was born. Over the course of her two-decade career in show business, she has only reluctantly revealed much about herself. Until now. In her most in-depth interview yet, Zoë joins Something To Talk About and opens up about why she chooses to be so guarded, her quest to keep her young son’s face off social media (and away from the paparazzi), why her current onstage role in Chicago: The Musical is actually a return to her performing roots - and the surprising new career path she just might embark upon someday. Chicago: The Musical is playing in Melbourne from March 23, Sydney from June 9 and Adelaide from August 4.

Radio and television presenter Erin Molan - who joins Stellar as a regular columnist this year - sits down with Something To Talk About for a poignant and at times heartbreaking conversation about the war she has waged against her own body since the age of 14. Speaking frankly about the loathing, disgust and punishment she unleashed on herself for more than 20 years as she built a career in the high-pressure world of network television, Erin reveals how she finally reached a point where she’d had enough - and explains why she is now letting go of self-judgement - both for her own sake and the sake of her young daughter. If this episode raises any issues or concerns, you can reach out to the Butterfly Foundation, or call Lifeline on 13 14 11. You can hear Erin each morning on 2DAYFM’s Hughesy, Ed and Erin.

While Something To Talk About takes a break, we are revisiting some of the most candid and revealing moments from the almost 50 guests who have joined us in conversation on this podcast over the past year. Even at a time when more taboos are being broken than ever before, the topic of money is still not considered to be polite dinner-table conversation. But while gloating about wealth or prying into the salary of a relative or friend is one thing, a wider discussion around financial security and literacy is something more of us are growing comfortable with – particularly women. When Jackie O sat down in conversation with Something To Talk About in May, she was asked about her decision to show up in person at an auction to buy her luxurious new home. “I hate showing off wealth,” she explained, “but at the same time, I shouldn’t be embarrassed by it.” It was an exchange that ignited countless headlines and prompted many follow-up conversations about how Jackie O has become an example of a woman feeling comfortable about her earning power. Michelle Bridge later told Something To Talk About how Jackie had inspired her to also be more upfront and proud of the empire she has built. And as somebody who works with women’s community shelters, Michelle is also mindful of the importance of women taking control of their finances, particularly given women over 55 are the fastest-growing demographic of homeless people in Australia. Sally Obermeder, meanwhile, was also very open about the highs and lows of her path to launching a successful business, including the hard-won lessons she and her co-founder sister learnt along the way. Despite starting her career as a finance reporter, Sally was also very honest about the steep learning curve she embarked on to attain financial literacy. And given we are in the midst of a cost-of-living crisis, self-described finance nerd David Koch shared the advice he would give to those who want to build a secure future in challenging times. And then there was Sarah Wilson, who also generated headlines across the country when she explained how and why she has stopped buying things, and issued a friendly challenge to her fellow Australians to discover the stress-free joys in curbing our consumption.

While Something To Talk About takes a break, we are revisiting some of the most candid and revealing moments from the almost 50 guests who have joined us in conversation on this podcast over the past year. If ever anyone needed proof that women are increasingly refusing to disappear from public life once they reach an age that would once have seen them supposedly past their “expiry date”, then they would find it in this sixth episode of the Something To Talk About summer series, And it’s not just career success that so many Australian women are finding in their late forties, fifties, sixties and seventies - they are also discovering that with age comes, yes, wisdom, but also happiness, self-confidence and a sense of calm. Today’s episode features four such women at the top of their game both professionally and personally, including Nicole Kidman, who says that at 56, she is revelling in making what she calls “teenage choices” when it comes to everything from the roles she chooses to the clothes that she wears. Rebecca Gibney - who turns 60 at the end of this year but often still thinks she’s 35 years old, declares that she is still acting by the age of 90, she plans to be less Driving Miss Daisy and more Betty White. Ahead of turning 50 later this year, Asher Keddie reflects on the hard won joys of working and living in a time when women’s voices, and stories, are being listened to and celebrated more than ever - while Liz Hayes, another fixture of Australian TV, reveals how she stared down sexism throughout her career to remain on screen much longer than she would have ever thought possible when starting out as a young reporter.

While Something To Talk About takes a break, we are revisiting some of the most emotional and revealing moments from the almost 50 guests who have joined us in conversation on this podcast over the past year. The complex issue of becoming a parent, or the conscious decision not to, is at the heart of today’s episode. We begin by revisiting our powerful conversation with influencer and cult brand co-founder Sarah Davidson, who shared her experience of pregnancy loss with Something To Talk About to break the taboo around speaking publicly about miscarriage - especially given Sarah found it impossible to find stories of other women who had experienced pregnancy loss but were yet to conceive again. After opening up about her heartache and grief after miscarrying last year when she and her husband Nick decided to start trying for a baby, Sarah and Nick have since shared a happy update with her followers - they are expecting a baby boy later this year. This issue was also at the centre of my interview with British author and podcaster Elizabeth Day, who spoke with such candour that she moved many listeners to tears when detailing the anger, the grief - and ultimately, the acceptance - that she experienced when coming to terms with this chapter of her life. Having famously coined the term ‘fertility privilege’, Elizabeth had many thought-provoking observations as to what we should and shouldn’t share on social media when navigating baby news. And how can we support the people in our lives who have had that choice taken away from them? With these conversations being brought to the fore more than ever before; as Michelle Andrews of the Shameless Media empire told Something To Talk About, the decisions regarding if and when to have children is her ‘Roman Empire’. At 29, Michelle explained how the dialogue around babies, pregnancy and pregnancy loss is not only the issue keeping her up at night, but occupying the minds of many of her generation. And what of those who have decided to be childfree, and yet are forced to contend with the judgement and unsolicited questions from others over that decision? Maria Thattil is one such woman, and as she told this podcast, the choice to raise a child shouldn’t be made to fix something in your life or appease the people around you. But for those who are equally certain they do want to have children, radio presenter Fifi Box has demonstrated that there are many different ways to create a family. As a single mother to two beautiful daughters, the youngest of whom was conceived via IVF, Fifi was incredibly generous in talking Something To Talk About’s listeners through the highs and lows of that process. A warning that today’s episode touches on subject matter that could be triggering for some listeners.

While Something To Talk About takes a break, we are revisiting some of the most emotional and revealing moments from the almost 50 guests who have joined us in conversation on this podcast over the past year. “So, what’s going on in your love life?” It’s the question many of us will have been forced to contend with during social gatherings and family dinners over the festive season and summer holidays. You may be newly separated, and everybody wants to know when you plan to recouple. Or perhaps you’re perennially single and constantly enduring the well-meaning - but, let’s be honest, often irritating - intentions from a friend or family member keen to play matchmaker. But what if you weren’t just dealing with romantic queries from friends and family, but also from total strangers? What if every time you were photographed with another person - whether it be a friend, a colleague or maybe even a neighbour you run into at the dog park - everyone automatically assumed they must be your new significant other and start speculating as to when you will be setting a date for the wedding? This is the experience that has been shared by each of today’s guests in this fourth episode of our summer series - from eligible bachelors Dr Chris Brown and Tony Armstrong (although Tony recently hard-launched a romance, so he’s officially off the market) to some of the country’s most sought-after women, including Abbie Chatfield and Jackie O. And what happens when you have emerged from a relationship breakdown or divorce that played out in public, only to then contend with the judgement - and scrutiny - of the general public as you move on with your life? That’s been the experience of Liz Hayes, Erin Molan and Michelle Bridges, who also feature in this latest instalment of the Something To Talk About summer series. Hear the full conversation with each of the seven guests featured in this episode here: Listen to Jackie O here. Listen to Michelle Bridges here. Listen to Dr Chris Brown here.

While Something To Talk About takes a break, we are revisiting some of the most emotional and revealing moments from the almost 50 guests who have joined us in conversation on this podcast over the past year. This third episode of the Something To Talk About summer series finds us about to begin a new year - a time many of us pause to both look ahead to the future and reflect on the year that was, including grieving those we have lost and re-evaluating the dark times we have navigated. Amid the fireworks and celebrations, this can be an isolating time, so today we’re revisiting some of the most raw and intimate conversations that have taken place on Something To Talk About. We begin with Chloe Lattanzi, who spoke to Something To Talk About ahead of the one-year anniversary of the death of her mother, Olivia Newton-John. It is a moving conversation about grief, as is our interview with Waleed Aly, who opens up about spending time with his mother-in-law in her final hours, and how it brought closure - particularly given he was unable to be with his own father when he passed a decade ago. We also hear from those who have grappled with - and chosen to be open about - struggles related to their mental health. Abbie Chatfield explains how her ADHD diagnosis brought new clarity and helped her better understand her behaviour, while Brooke Blurton reveals how a childhood that left her feeling like an outcast to the wider Australian community informs her passion to fight for representation for First Nations people. Current Australian of the Year Taryn Brumfitt fires up about why accepting and celebrating our bodies is a decision we’ll never regret, while Lisa Greenberg gives a searingly honest account of living with - and finally confronting - alcohol addiction.

While Something To Talk About takes a break over Christmas and New Year, we are revisiting some of the most memorable moments from the almost 50 guests who have joined us in conversation over the past year. Today’s episode is being released at a time of year when we are bombarded with images of happy families celebrating the Christmas holidays. Even in 2023, the greeting card definition of what a family looks like is still often of a mum, dad, two children, a dog and a white picket fence. In some households, of course, that is exactly what their family does look like. But with around 30% of marriages in this country ending in divorce, many households look very different to what is being reflected back at them in popular culture this festive season. In this episode, we revisit a few candid conversations with high-profile Australian women including Miranda Kerr, Jackie O, Michelle Bridges and Sarah Harris - all of whom opened up about their personal experience of navigating a marriage breakdown without bitterness, and shared their insights into co-parenting their children with an ex in the most positive way possible. We also hear from Sophie Cachia, who wrote a memoir about the moment she realised she was attracted to women - several years into her marriage with the father of her two children. And, of course, there is our conversation with a recently separated Natalie Bassingthwaighte where she spoke for the first time about being in a relationship with a woman - and reflected on her ex husband’s unwavering support during this new chapter of her life. Whatever your family looks like this holiday season, we hope you’ll find something that resonates with you in this episode of the Something To Talk About summer series.

While Something To Talk About takes a break over Christmas and New Year, we are revisiting some of the most revealing and candid moments from the almost 50 guests who have joined us in conversation on the podcast over the past year. In the first episode of the Something To Talk About summer series, we speak to some of the famous Australians who took centre stage once again in 2023 after being “cancelled”. Whether taken to task for voicing an unpopular or controversial opinion, publicly shamed after having an intimate moment splashed across the headlines; roundly condemned and fired for an error of judgement; or even vilified for the way they laugh; each of the four very different women you’ll hear from today have found themselves dealing with public backlash on a scale very few of us can imagine. From Georgia Love, who was famously cancelled after a social media post prompted accusations of casual racism, to Kate Langbroek who has vowed to keep speaking her mind with a directness she knows can be dangerous on national TV. And from Jessica Rowe, whose ill-fated time on breakfast television 15 years ago unleashed a barrage of cruel commentary to Candice Warner, who survived a scandal that haunted her for years, impacting her career, her family and her mental health. At a time when we constantly hear about the concept of cancel culture, these are people who have experienced it first hand - and have emerged to share their stories about what happens on the other side of getting cancelled.
