    Waleed Aly spent more than a decade on our screens four nights a week on The Project. He’s one of the most recognisable people in Australian media, yet he has never had a social media account and very few of us know much about him at all.

    In this conversation, Kate and her former Project colleague go back to Vermont in Melbourne’s east, where the son of Egyptian migrants grew up in a house where big ideas were argued over the dinner table, and where his English-teacher mum still corrects his grammar. He talks about how close his dad came to giving up on Australia altogether, the trip to Cairo at 20 that changed his faith, and how the woman he married first told him she wouldn’t marry him “if you were the last man on earth”.

    Waleed opens up about keeping his kids out of the public eye, the backlash that came with his Gold Logie, the night he lost his father, and whether he really did cry on the last night of The Project. And he explains why he’ll never go into politics, why he’s a pessimist who wishes he were an optimist, and the peace that comes from accepting you’re not in control.

    Reasoning with Chaos: Dispatches from disorder by Waleed Aly is available now.

    In 2005, Nic Russell’s two-year-old daughter, Kenzie, was diagnosed with a rare childhood cancer. Months later, while Kenzie was still in treatment, Nic was diagnosed with breast cancer herself. Kenzie died just after Christmas that year. She was three.

    In the years since, Nic has started a children’s grief charity in her daughter’s name, campaigned for women’s access to life-saving cancer treatment, been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and, in 2022, had a heart transplant.

    In this conversation, Nic tells Kate about growing up in Northern Ireland during the Troubles, fighting to get doctors to listen, the comedian she says saved her life, and what grieving people actually need from the rest of us.

    Nic Russell's memoir, Bollix: When Life Isn’t All It’s Craic’d Up To Be, is out now.

    Show notes

    Daisy Edgar-Jones and Esme Creed-Miles are bringing Jane Austen’s Sense & Sensibility to a new generation — and one creative choice has already sparked a very passionate debate.

    While in Australia promoting the new adaptation, Daisy and Esme sat down with The Spill’s Laura Brodnik to talk about becoming the Dashwood sisters, the friendship they first formed years before making this film, and why they felt so safe and supported by one another on set.

    They also address the conversation surrounding the film’s historically unconventional hair and styling choices, why Esme believes some of the criticism misses the point, and why Daisy says a new adaptation should offer audiences something distinctive rather than simply recreate what has come before.

    Plus, they talk falling in love with Jane Austen, sisterhood, romance, and the unexpected Love Island memories that connect them to the very first time they worked together.

    Find more celebrity interviews and entertainment conversations on The Spill, wherever you get your podcasts.

    Show notes

    G Flip gave themselves one year to make their solo career happen. They wrote songs in their bedroom, built a spreadsheet of the Australian music industry and prepared a live show before anyone had booked them to perform.

    Then one song changed everything.

    In this conversation with Kate Langbroek, G shares the determination behind what might have looked like overnight success, and the story of the teacher who recognised their potential long before the rest of the world caught up.

    They talk about a childhood obsession with drums, finding the language to understand their gender, and the extraordinary self-belief that kept them going. G also speaks openly about their relationship with Chrishell at the time of recording, falling in love in the public eye and the emotional experience of trying to start a family through IVF.

    Funny, thoughtful and full of warmth, this is the story of how G Flip became G Flip.

    This conversation was first published in August 2025.

    A week into her sobriety, Belinda Carlisle broke down in the middle of Harrods and called her husband with one question: how could you stay with me?

    Belinda has lived more lives than most. She started the Go-Go’s with a group of girls from the LA punk scene who had never played a note, and within three years they had the first number one album by an all-female band who wrote their own songs and played their own instruments. Then she went solo and gave the world ‘Heaven Is a Place on Earth’.

    In this conversation with Kate Langbroek, Belinda opens up about growing up the eldest of seven with a stepfather who told her she’d never amount to anything, and the music press that called her “pretty and plump”. She talks about the drugs she used partly to stay thin and the 30-year addiction that followed, and about getting sober at 47. She also tells the story of the night she met her husband and moved in with him the next day, leaving LA for the south of France four days after the 1994 earthquake, and the morning her teenage son came out to her and then announced it at his school assembly.

    Plus, why her G’day & Goodbye tour will be the last time she tours Australia, and why she might just come back for a one-off.

    Belinda’s G’day & Goodbye tour plays Fremantle Prison (3 March), the Palais Theatre, Melbourne (5 and 6 March), the Enmore Theatre, Sydney (12 and 13 March) and Fortitude Music Hall, Brisbane (19 and 20 March, 2027). Tickets are available here. Her latest album, Once Upon a Time in California, is out now.

    This episode discusses addiction, disordered eating and body image. If it raises anything for you, support is available from Lifeline on 13 11 14 or the Butterfly Foundation on 1800 33 4673.

    Judith Lucy wrote the book on wellness. Then she got cancer.

    After years of anxiety and a burnout that forced her to step away from stand-up, one of Australia’s funniest women went searching for a way to feel better. That search took her all the way to an ayahuasca retreat in the Amazon. Let’s just say enlightenment wasn’t what she brought home.

    Just days before her scheduled double mastectomy, Judith joins her longtime friend Kate Langbroek for a conversation that is as funny, frank and deeply personal as you’d expect.

    She shares the Christmas Day revelation that changed how she understood her family, and the devastating phone call that exposed the boyfriend she thought she’d grow old with. She also opens up about the anxiety that followed her on stage for decades, and why it took until her 50s to ask what she actually wanted her life to look like.

    And when her cancer diagnosis brought up a fear familiar to so many single women, who would look after her, her friends had an answer.

    Judith’s new book, Well Well Well, is out now through Simon & Schuster.

    Benson Boone knows what people say about him. He’s heard the Harry Styles comparisons, the Freddie Mercury references and the assumptions about everything from his jumpsuits to his politics. He’s even had strangers tell him they thought he’d be a “real douchebag”.

    We know No Filter listeners love a great interview so we’re sharing an interview from our sister podcast, The Spill. No Filter executive producer and Spill guest host Bree Player sits down with Benson to talk about what people get wrong about him, why those comparisons can be frustrating, and the imposter syndrome that follows him into rooms full of his musical heroes.

    For someone so confident onstage, life away from it can take some figuring out. Benson opens up about adjusting to the quiet after a tour, his constantly racing mind and how a song about losing one person became a love letter to the people who show up for him.

    Rodger Corser has played a jackaroo, a detective, a cop and a heart surgeon, and for most of his career he's been very good at not telling us much about himself. In this episode Kate gets him talking.

    He takes us back to the pub bands he played from age 16, and to the film school degree that was supposed to put him behind the camera. He tells the story of walking into the Rent audition with no plan and walking out with the lead, and of the notorious party cast that followed. We hear about meeting his wife Renae through a matchmaking agent, and about becoming a stepdad and then a dad. Rodger also talks about the diagnosis that came barely a year into their relationship, how bluntly it was delivered, and the second opinion Renae's mum insisted on that changed everything. From there he describes the busy years of 12-hour days and months away from home, which his family carried, and the quiet years since. He also gets into the Underbelly nickname that has followed him around for almost two decades.

    Rodger talks about the pivot from scripted drama to hosting The Traitors and The Floor, the Today show speculation, and why he thinks the industry asks young performers to give away too much of themselves. Then there's Shawshank. After 20 years away he's returning to the stage as the Warden, opening at Sydney's Theatre Royal in January 2027 and touring to Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide and Brisbane.

    Koko Casey was a flight nurse. She spent her career flying into disaster zones and distant countries, keeping critically ill strangers alive at 30,000 feet, until the night a routine medical retrieval turned into the plane crash she was never supposed to survive. On the 17th of November, 2009, the jet she was working on ran out of fuel in a storm off Norfolk Island and ditched into the ocean at close to 200 kilometres an hour. Koko and everyone else on board lived. What came next very nearly took her life anyway.

    In this episode, Koko tells Kate Langbroek what the official story leaves out: the sixteen years of chronic pain and PTSD that followed the crash, the slow slide into addiction and self-loathing she now calls "the hitchhikers," and the points where she came closest to not making it at all, including an overdose discovered by her own children. She talks about the group therapy session that changed how she spoke to herself, the flying lesson she booked to face her fear head-on, meeting the man who would become her husband while he was landscaping her backyard, and the decision to legally change her name as a symbol of who she'd become. She also talks about her work today, presenting to the Royal Australian Air Force's Human Performance and Safety team, and what it took to finally put her story on the page.

    If you or anyone you know needs to speak with an expert, please contact your GP or in Australia, contact Lifeline (13 11 14), Kids Helpline (1800 55 1800) or Beyond Blue (1300 22 4636), all of which provide trained counsellors you can talk with 24/7.

    Koko Casey's book, Stay: From Flight Nurse to Patient, is out now through New Holland Publishers.

    Show notes

    Here is a very special episode of Unleashed, Mamamia’s podcast for Gen X women.

    One of the hosts of Unleashed, Dr Ginni Mansberg, has been going through something incredibly difficult. Ginni’s mum had been very ill for a long time and made the decision to choose voluntary assisted dying.

    Ginni wanted to talk about what was happening with her mum and her family on Unleashed. And rather than just having a conversation about VAD, they decided to tell the whole story.

    It’s about what happens when you know someone you love is going to die. About family, grief, love and all the complicated feelings that come with saying goodbye.

    And it’s Ginni telling that story as both a doctor and, ultimately, as a daughter.

    This is part one of a three-part series, beginning one month before Ginni’s mum’s death. Listen to part two and part three here.

    Please take care while listening. This episode discusses voluntary assisted dying, death and grief. If this conversation brought up hard feelings and you need some help, please call Lifeline here.

    In your ears today is Cath Mahoney, Bruna Papandrea and Ginni Mansberg

    Jason Donovan has spent almost forty years being reinvented in public: teen heartthrob, chart-topping pop star, tabloid cautionary tale, musical theatre mainstay. In this conversation with Kate, he finally puts it all together in his own words, including the night at LA's Viper Room he still doesn't love talking about, and what he now understands about why it happened.

    Jason opens up about growing up the son of an actor in 1970s Melbourne, being cast alongside a young Kylie Minogue years before Neighbours, and the strange, competitive spark that pushed him toward a pop career of his own. He talks candidly about his recent, surprisingly honest turn in Kylie's new Netflix documentary, revisiting their relationship on his own terms rather than a tabloid's. He reflects on turning down Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, and on his father Terence Donovan's legacy fighting for Australian content quotas in the 1970s, a movement he says made his own career, and Hugh Jackman's and Cate Blanchett's, possible. And in a moment he says he's never spoken about publicly before, Jason talks about losing his dad earlier this year, and what it means to bring Randle P. McMurphy to life in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest on the very Melbourne stage his father once performed on.

    Jason Donovan stars as Randle P. McMurphy in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, exclusively at Melbourne's Athenaeum Theatre from 13 November. Tickets at cuckoosnest.com.au.

    For the best part of a decade, Cassandra Thorburn has been publicly known as one thing: Karl Stefanovic's ex-wife. The headline that ran when their 21-year marriage ended in 2016, and pretty much every headline since.

    But Cassandra was a journalist and a television producer long before any of that, working across Australia, New Zealand and the US, and in the years since her divorce she's quietly rebuilt herself over and over: a season of Dancing with the Stars, a children's book, a podcast on surviving separation, a stint as a dental nurse, aged care work through the pandemic. She is, by her own account, someone who has never really had a plan. She's just kept saying yes to the next thing.

    Then, at the start of this year, she was diagnosed with a rare, aggressive form of breast cancer, one so uncommon that fewer than two per cent of Australian cases look like hers. 

    This time, she decided, she'd be the one telling the story. She's spent the months since documenting her treatment in unflinching detail on her social media platform and working with the Breast Cancer Network Australia to make sure other women don't miss what she nearly did.

    Cassandra Thorburn is Breast Cancer Network Australia ambassador for Carmans Fun Run Sydney at Melcalfe Park, Pyrmont - To join or donate, visit bcna.org.au/events

    Jennifer Robinson has spent her career standing beside people who have found themselves up against some of the most powerful institutions in the world.

    The Australian human rights lawyer has represented Julian Assange and Amber Heard, and her new documentary Silenced examines what can happen to women who speak publicly about violence and abuse.

    In this episode of No Filter, Jennifer talks to Kate Langbroek about the grandmother who inspired her life’s work, what she witnessed while representing Amber Heard, and how social media shaped the public response to the Depp-Heard case. She also explains why Brittany Higgins’ story became central to Silenced, and the extraordinary personal cost that speaking out can carry.

    Jennifer also takes Kate inside her 14-year fight to help bring Julian Assange home, and reflects on what that case taught her about power, the media and her continuing belief that change is possible.

    At the heart of the conversation is a difficult question: what is the price women pay for speaking out, and how do we make it safer for them to use their voice?

    Silenced is in cinemas now.

    Blanche d’Alpuget has died aged 82.

    To remember the celebrated author, activist and widow of former Prime Minister Bob Hawke listen back to this episode from 2018, when Blanche spoke to Mia Freedman about love, lust, longing and the great loves of her life. 

    It was 1970 in Jakarta when a then married Blanche met a then married Robert Hawke. She thought his name was Robin. Little did she knew he would go on to become the great love of her life. Six years later, in 1976, she met Robert again. Their affair began and continued on and off until 1995 when they married. 

    In person, Blanche was extraordinarily beautiful down-to-earth, quick to laugh, searingly honest and still madly in love with the man who has - along with her career and her son - been the big love of her life. She joined Mia to talk about Bob, love and her book On Lust and Longing…

    Show notes

    Ally Langdon has spent more than 25 years at Channel Nine, reporting from war zones and natural disasters for 60 Minutes, surviving the brutal hours of breakfast television and eventually taking over one of the most coveted chairs in Australian TV as host of A Current Affair.

    But for someone millions of Australians feel they know, Ally has kept much of her life firmly out of the spotlight.

    In this episode of No Filter, Ally joins Kate Langbroek for a funny, candid and surprisingly personal conversation about the woman behind the television career.

    She talks about raising two children with husband Mike Willesee Jr, the years they spent barely seeing each other while both had demanding careers, why she refuses to read the comments about herself and what really went through her mind when she was offered the A Current Affair job.

    Ally also takes Kate back to her childhood on a farm on the NSW Mid North Coast, reflects on the stories that have stayed with her after decades as a journalist and explains why, despite everything she has witnessed, she still believes there is far more good in the world than bad.

    And ahead of R U OK?Day, Ally shares the deeply personal story of her friendship with Maryanne Larkin and her late husband Gavin, the founder of R U OK?, and how their families have remained connected through extraordinary love and unimaginable loss.

    Gloria Steinem, one of the most recognisable voices of modern feminism, has died at 92. In tribute, we're re-sharing this 2016 conversation between Gloria and Mia Freedman, recorded during Gloria's visit to Australia.

    Gloria talks openly about the illegal abortion she had in London in 1957, her decision not to have children, her marriage later in life to "the friend I married," and the mother whose own ambitions were given up for family. She reflects on ageing in public, the pressure on women to stay young, celebrity feminism, and her friendships with a younger generation of feminists including Lena Dunham.

    It's a candid, wide-ranging conversation with a woman who shaped the modern women's movement — full of the warmth, wit and clarity she was known for.

    Jessie Stephens, co-host of Mamamia Out Loud and bestselling author, sits down with Kate Langbroek for a completely candid conversation about the last six months of her life. Ten weeks early, on the day she finished up for maternity leave, Jessie gave birth to twins Margot and Harry, while at home raising her toddler daughter, Luna.

    Jessie opens up about something she's never spoken about publicly before, a moment in NICU when she found herself in what she describes as "a really dark place." She also talks about growing up an identical twin, falling for her now husband Luca while they worked together, and building a marriage and family and a career when it's all intertwined.

    Jessie will be back on Mamamia Out Loud in September.

    Most Australians met Sophie Delezio when she was two years old, after a car crashed into her childcare centre and left her fighting for her life. She survived — and then, extraordinarily, survived a second catastrophic accident just a few years later. She grew up in hospitals, in the headlines, and in the hearts of a country that has been quietly following her ever since.

    But the woman sitting across from Kate today isn't the little girl from those front pages. She's 25, married to her childhood sweetheart, and a new mum working out — like every new mum — how to hold onto herself in the middle of it all.

    Sophie and Kate talk about what actually happened the day of her first accident, and the impossible decision her parents faced over keeping her on life support. They talk about growing up with her disability treated as simply normal, and the moments at school where other people tried to decide what she could and couldn't do. Sophie shares what it was like moving to London at eighteen to study and live completely independently for the first time, and how a high school friendship with her now-husband Joseph blossomed years later into a marriage.

    She opens up about giving birth to their son Frankie, and the particular fear a caesarean brought up for someone who has spent a lifetime in operating theatres. And she explains why she deleted social media completely for a year, what brought her back, and why her new podcast, Kids' Health Explained, made with the Sydney Children's Hospitals Network, has become one of the most meaningful projects of her career.

    Through all of it, Sophie is clear about one thing: she considers herself lucky, not unlucky, and wouldn't change a single part of her story.

    Sophie's podcast, Kids' Health Explained, from the Sydney Children's Hospitals Network, is out now wherever you get your podcasts.

    Liane Moriarty is one of the most successful authors in the world — the writer behind Big Little Lies, Nine Perfect Strangers, Apples Never Fall and The Husband's Secret. Now, for the first time in her career, she's written a sequel: Big Little Truths, returning to Madeline, Celeste and the rest of the Big Little Lies world a decade on.

    In this conversation, Liane and Kate talk about why she avoided writing a sequel for so long, the pressure of returning to characters millions of readers already love, and the surreal experience of watching Nicole Kidman, Reese Witherspoon and Meryl Streep bring her imagination to life on screen — including the story of how she wrote a role specifically for Meryl Streep before ever meeting her.

    They also get into Liane's family of writers (three of five sisters are published authors), her own breast cancer scare, marriage, motherhood, writing teenagers, envy as a creative motivator, and why — even after decades of success — she still braces for criticism before a single review is written.

    While the conversation avoids any major spoilers, Liane and Kate do discuss Big Little Truths. Some listeners may wish to read the book in advance of listening to this episode. 

    Big Little Truths by Liane Moriarty is out 25th August.

    Harriet Dyer spent years chasing an acting career, navigating rejection, self-doubt and the uncertainty that comes with trying to make it in one of the toughest industries there is.

    Then she co-created Colin From Accounts with her husband, Patrick Brammall—and everything changed.

    In this episode of No Filter, Harriet joins Kate Langbroek for a candid conversation about building one of Australia's most successful television shows, why she and Patrick have chosen to end it while it's still at its peak, and the unexpected cost of creating something that consumed almost every part of their lives.

    Harriet also opens up about growing up shy, being rejected from NIDA twice, becoming a mother while writing and filming three seasons of television, the guilt of balancing work and family, and why she believes the best creative partnerships are built on trust, honesty and knowing when to let go.

    This is a conversation about creativity, ambition, marriage, motherhood and the courage to keep choosing the life you want—even when it's the harder one.

    The third and final season of Colin From Accounts is streaming now on Binge.

    Amy Shark doesn't know how ended up here. 

    Before the ARIA Awards, the platinum records and sold-out tours, there were years of cover gigs, day jobs, rejected demos and wondering whether it was finally time to give up. She came within days of walking away from music altogether before one song, Adore, changed everything.

    In this episode of No Filter, Amy joins Kate Langbroek for a deeply personal conversation about the fifteen years it took to become an 'overnight success', why she believes the universe had other plans for her, and what fame actually looks like once you've achieved everything you thought you wanted.

    She talks about growing up on the Gold Coast with young parents, the grandmother who believed in her before anyone else did, falling in love with her husband and manager Shane, navigating marriage inside the music industry, and the burnout that left her feeling as though she had nothing left to give.

    Amy also reflects on finding joy in songwriting again, making her fourth album Soft Pop, and why she's finally learnt that success isn't about constantly chasing the next milestone.

    This is a conversation about perseverance, creativity, love, grief and what happens when the dream you've spent your whole life chasing finally comes true.

    Amy Shark's new album Soft Pop is out now.

    Show notes

    Rosie O’Donnell has lived almost every version of life in the spotlight. From her breakout in Hollywood alongside Tom Hanks and Madonna, to her groundbreaking daytime talk show that redefined television, Rosie was one of the most famous women in America.

    But with fame came ridicule, public feuds, and moments that cut deeply. She’s been celebrated, mocked, and at times turned into the punchline of her own story. And one of the most painful moments came when Ellen DeGeneres told the world they weren’t friends.

    In this conversation, Rosie is raw, funny and reflective. She speaks about growing up in the shadow of losing her mother, her shy first attempts at romance, the highs and lows of talk show success, and the very public feuds that made headlines. She shares what it was like to be blindsided by Ellen’s rejection, and why that moment stayed with her. And yes, she even talks about her recent return to our screens in And Just Like That.

    Rosie O’Donnell has lived a big, messy, fascinating life — and in this episode, she tells it all.

    Show notes

    For more than three decades, Dave Hughes has made Australia laugh. But behind the unmistakable voice and self-deprecating humour is a man who's spent much of his life trying to understand what drives him.

    In this deeply personal conversation with his longtime friend and former radio co-host Kate Langbroek, Hughesy reflects on his childhood in Warrnambool, giving up alcohol and drugs at 22, the self-doubt that has followed him throughout his career, and why he now believes he's "been a narcissist all my life."

    He opens up about the need to be a hero, the surprising relationship between insecurity and success, the pressures of fame, his marriage to Holly, raising three teenagers, and the political opinions that have sparked headlines across the country.

    Show notes

    Bek Condello didn't choose the world she was born into.

    Raised inside the Geelong Revival Centre, a church she now describes as a cult, every aspect of her life was decided for her — what she believed, who she could trust, who she could marry, what she wore, and what would happen if she ever left. By the time she was an adult, she had never kissed anyone, never questioned the rules she'd grown up with, and genuinely believed the outside world was dangerous.

    In this conversation with Kate Langbroek, Bek explains why leaving wasn't the hardest part. The real challenge came afterwards: rebuilding an identity from scratch, grieving the parents she feels the cult stole from her, navigating a marriage that was never really her choice, and learning to trust her own instincts after a lifetime of being told not to.

    Bek also speaks candidly about the lasting impact of growing up in an environment where sex was framed as shameful, revealing how it contributed to a diagnosis of vaginismus after her wedding and the profound effect it had on her first marriage.

    This isn't simply a story about escaping a cult. It's about what happens when everything you've ever believed is stripped away, and you're left to answer one terrifying question: who are you when you've never been allowed to decide for yourself?

    Can You Handle a Girl Like Me? by Bek Condello is available now.

    Show notes

    Please note: In this episode, Harrison James shares his personal account of childhood sexual abuse. The allegations discussed have not been tested in court, and no findings have been made against the individuals referred to. This conversation reflects Harrison's lived experience and perspective.

    What happens when a child doesn't realise they're being groomed?

    For years, Harrison James believed he was in a relationship. It wasn't until he was 19 that he began to understand what had happened to him as childhood sexual abuse.

    In this extraordinary conversation, Harrison shares the story he's carried for years. He reflects on growing up in a violent home before moving in with his father as a teenager, where he was groomed and sexually abused by his stepmother. With remarkable honesty, he explains why he believed he was in love, the shame and confusion that kept him silent, and the psychological reality of grooming that so many people misunderstand.

    Harrison also speaks about becoming a father while he was still a child himself, the devastating moment everything unravelled, what it meant to finally be believed by his mother, and how he's transformed his experiences into advocacy for survivors across Australia.

    This is a powerful conversation about trauma, masculinity, resilience and recovery, and why understanding how grooming really works could help protect the next generation.

    Harrison's book, Transform Your Pain into Purpose, is available now.

    Show notes

    Jessica Rowe has lived much of her life in the public eye.

    As one of Australia's most recognisable television journalists, she reached the pinnacle of breakfast television when she joined the Today show in 2006. But what followed was one of the most brutal public takedowns in Australian media. Jessica was criticised for everything from her laugh to her appearance, became the target of relentless headlines, and was ultimately let go while on maternity leave.

    In this deeply personal conversation with Kate Langbroek, Jessica reflects on that extraordinary period of her life and the lessons that came from surviving it. She speaks candidly about workplace sexism, being sexually assaulted early in her career, learning to raise her voice, the apology from Karl Stefanovic that helped her finally let go of years of resentment, and why she no longer believes in shrinking herself to make other people comfortable.

    Jessica also shares why she's happier at 56 than she's ever been, the joy she's found in embracing imperfection, and the advice she hopes her daughters will carry with them into adulthood.

    This is a conversation about resilience, reinvention, forgiveness and what happens when you finally stop apologising for being exactly who you are.

    Earlier this year, Kate Langbroek sat down with Faith Ward, an Australian–New Zealand dancer who went from thinking an unexpected message was a scam to becoming a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader. With the hit series now out on Netflix, we're revisiting this episode to give fans the scoop of what was really going on off-screen. 

    Faith takes us behind the uniform to talk candidly about what it actually takes to make it — and stay — inside the world’s most recognisable cheer squad. From the brutal audition process and constant scrutiny, to discipline, image control, and the realities of pay, Faith shares what the public rarely sees.

    We talk ponytails, pressure, pay rises, and perfection — the details that reveal how much is demanded of the women who wear the uniform, and what it costs to belong to such a powerful global brand.

    This is a behind-the-curtain conversation about ambition, sacrifice, identity and what happens when the glamour meets the reality.

    From Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz-Beckham to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, we've watched family rifts play out publicly. But behind the headlines is a dilemma many people face in their own lives: what happens when the person you love doesn't fit into the family you come from?

    This week, Kate Langbroek sits down with world-renowned relationship therapist Esther Perel to discuss one of the most emotionally complicated tensions of adulthood — choosing your partner while trying to maintain your relationship with your family.

    Why do some parents struggle to accept their child's partner? Why can falling in love feel like betrayal? And when family conflict erupts, how do you protect your relationship without losing the people who raised you?

    Together, Kate and Esther unpack family estrangement, difficult in-laws, loyalty, intimacy, and the relationship patterns we inherit from our parents — and whether it's possible to build a marriage that looks different from the one we grew up with.

    "When are you getting married?"

    It's the question Georgie Tunny and Rob Mills get asked more than any other. Closely followed by: "What about babies?"

    After seven years together and four years engaged, the couple sit down with Kate Langbroek to talk about the future they're building together, why they're in no rush to follow anyone else's timeline, and the DM that started it all.

    From Georgie leaving Rob on read for months to the first coffee date that changed everything, this conversation is full of the stories you've probably never heard before.

    They talk about ambition, career setbacks, long engagements, mental health, life in the spotlight, Georgie's debut novel Over To You, Rob's dream role in Waitress, and why the Paris Hilton chapter of his life is one they're both quite happy to laugh about now.

    Mostly, though, this feels less like an interview and more like sitting at a table with three friends catching up on all the gossip.

    Georgie Tunny's debut novel, Over To You is available now.
