Penguin Bloom: The Origin Story Feb 19, 2021

Show notes

This interview was originally published in 2016...

In 2013, mother-of-three Sam Bloom’s world changed.

A freak accident on a family holiday in Thailand left her paralysed from the chest down.

Her three young sons and her husband Cameron rallied around her. But it wasn’t until the family found a baby magpie who had fallen from his tree that things started looking up for the Blooms.

Cameron wrote about Penguin, the Magpie who pulled his family from a dark, dark place.

BONUS: Claudia Karvan On Making A Hit Show During Covid Feb 17, 2021

Show notes

How do you make a TV show during a pandemic?

Where do you film when all the hospitals are full up?

How do you find a newborn baby?

Claudia Karvan never thought she'd be creating during COVID-19, but that's exactly what happened when she started making Stan's hit new original series, Bump.

She tells Mia how she pulled off the impossible...and where she finds three-month-old baby actors...

Chronic Illness: A Love Story Jan 31, 2021

Show notes

Broadcaster Jacinta Parsons was 22 when she started feeling unwell. The kind of unwell that….well, lingered. Some days she couldn’t get out of bed. Other days she couldn’t eat. But one thing remained the same, every day she woke up feeling like crap. And her Doctors? They had no answers.

Since her early 20s, Jacinta has been living with an invisible illness. It’s one that affects over 75,000 Australians and isn’t talked about often. Which is why Jacinta has written a book about her experience called Unseen: The Secret World of Chronic Illness and she joins Mia now to talk about it all...

An Intimate Conversation About Friendship Jan 21, 2021

Show notes

A reason, a season or a lifetime. They say friendships only fall into three categories, and these tend to be them.

Mia Freedman and Bec Sparrow's friendship started for a reason.

They met 10 years ago, bonding over the grief of the daughters they had both lost via miscarriage or stillbirth.

And over the years, their friendship continued to grow. Through work, an interstate move, more children, another miscarriage, and the many ups and downs of life.

But in 2020, like with a lot of friendships, Mia and Bec struggled.

And on this episode of No Filter, they sit down for a very candid conversation about it all...

The Most Powerful Australian In Hollywood Jan 17, 2021

Big Little Lies, Queen America, Nine Perfect Strangers and The Dry.

These TV shows and movies have been some of the biggest created over the past couple of years. You know their names, and chances are you've seen a few of them, but what you might not know is they were all created by a very special Aussie sisterhood in Hollywood.

And at the centre of that sisterhood, is a woman called Bruna Papandrea.

Mia and Bruna have been friends for over 25 years and in this episode, they discuss everything from how COVID-19 has affected the film industry to how Bruna feels her career has impacted her friendships.

The Diary Of A Lap Dancer Jan 03, 2021

Show notes

Have you ever wondered what goes on in a strip club?

How lap dances actually work?

How the women who strip and dance for a living in these clubs feel about their customers and their own bodies?

Today's guest is a woman by the name of Samantha C. Ross. But, if you ran into Samantha in a strip club up until about 5 years ago, you would've known her as Sunshine.

That was her stripper name and the persona she took on every time she went to work.

Now, Samantha has written a book about her time as a lap dancer, and she sat down with Mia to talk about it.

THE END BITS:

You can buy Samantha's book here - booktopia.kh4ffx.net/YE5rJ.
