Chrissie Swan’s second (and last) podcast interview

May 30, 2026 · 47 min

Show notes

Chrissie Swan doesn’t do many interviews. “I’m like Halley’s Comet,” she jokes of the astrological phenomenon that only appears every 75 years or so. Now, Chrissie is orbiting back to the other side of the microphone, a place she readily admits she doesn't tend to be. 

This week on Something To Talk About, Chrissie reflects on the headlines she refuses to let define her, and how she walks the careful line between sharing her life publicly and protecting her children privately. She also discusses leaving breakfast radio, giving up alcohol, co-parenting teenagers, and why uncovering generations of rebellious women and family tragedy on her upcoming episode of SBS’ Who Do You Think You Are? ultimately changed the way she sees herself.

Chrissie’s episode of Who Do You Think You Are? airs on SBS on Tuesday, June 9, at 7.30pm.
