The Blurred Lines Of Consent with Vanessa Grigoriadis Jan 28, 2018

Show notes

Vanessa Grigoriadis has spent years thinking about consent.

The American journalist and author interviewed 120 students, 80 administrators, victims, perpetrators and accused for her book Blurred Lines: Rethinking Sex, Power, and Consent on Campus. What she found out was that, when it comes to sexual assault, things sometimes aren't black and white. Vanessa seeks to discover whether, when the lines are blurred and one person believes consent was given and the other doesn't, can both things be true?

Jana Pittman Is Not Your Usual ‘Former Athlete’ Jan 21, 2018

Show notes

When you think of Jana Pittman, the first thing that usually comes to mind is hurdles. Right?

Hurdles, the Olympics, and maybe that memorable headline - “Drama Jana.”

But what if we told you that was by far the least interesting thing about the former two-time world champion? Because it’s the truth.

Jana is 35 now and she’s a single mum to three kids - how that happened is a fascinating story. And, because she likes a challenge, she is studying medicine and the type of doctor she wants to be has nothing to do with sport...

Chelsea Bonner Thinks You Have A Great Body Jan 14, 2018

Show notes

If you open up a fashion magazine in Australia you'll most likely be greeted by a group of size six models smiling/grimacing back at you.

Sure, they're beautiful and their clothes are amazing but they only represent 20% of the population.

And this is what model, agent and soon to be author, Chelsea Bonner is trying to change, one body positive model at a time...

Jelena Dokic Is Unbreakable Jan 07, 2018

Show notes

Jelena Dokic has lived a very extraordinary life in just 34 years.

From the outside, she seemed to have the perfect story. She was a refugee turned world number four on the tennis circuit and by 16, she had defeated world number one Martina Hingis at Wimbledon.

But on the inside, Jelena was struggling. Her father and coach, Damir, started abusing her when she was just six years old. He’d beat her, take her money, lock her out of hotel rooms and taunt her. At one stage, he even made her change nationalities from Australian to Yugoslavian.

Until one day, when she was 19, she decided to leave home. And she’s never looked back.

Don't Call Turia Pitt An Inspiration Dec 24, 2017

Show notes

This is the first of a two-part series over the Christmas break where we'll look back at some of Mia's favourite interviews. This week it's Turia Pitt.

At the age of 24, Turia Pitt was caught in a bushfire while running an Ultramarathon in Western Australia. She suffered burns to 65 % of her body and has since had over 200 operations to get back to full health.

Turia could have been defined by that fire in every sense. But she wasn’t.

She has gone on to become one of the most influential women in the country, inspiring everyone she meets. And not just because she overcame incredible hardship - but because she continues to do so.

Anne Helen Petersen Wrote A Book Called Too Fat, Too Slutty, Too Loud Dec 17, 2017

Show notes

American journalist Anne Helen Petersen has been writing about celebrities since she was at uni and over that time she's noticed one thing - the rise of unruly women.

Unruly is described as disorderly, disruptive and not amenable to discipline or control. And, if you look around Hollywood you'll see this kind of behaviour everywhere.

So Anne decided to collect her thoughts and research into a book and that’s how Too Fat, Too Slutty, Too Loud was born.

Andrew Daddo Was Always The Good Guy Dec 10, 2017

Show notes

Andrew Daddo does a lot of things. From writing kids books, to hosting parenting podcasts to acting in Round The Twist. Oh....and being a dad to his three kids.

But behind the public profile he's just a normal guy who likes to make his own surfboards and hang out with his family.

So what was life like inside the famous Daddo household? How did he wind up in the jungle on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here? And how easy it is to write a children’s book?

Sophie Monk Says Don’t Sleep With Someone Too Soon Dec 04, 2017

Show notes

Sophie Monk has been a celebrity for almost 20 years.

During that time she has been in a girl band, been a solo singer, an actress, a TV star, engaged 2.5 times, posed for Playboy, starred alongside a cast of famous faces for UberEATS Australia and most recently been Australia’s 2017 Bachelorette

But that last fact is probably the least interesting thing about Sophie.

She spent a decade in Hollywood being told she was too thin, too fat and too blonde. She developed a thick skin. And she realised that after all that, people liked her best when she was just being herself. So that is what she has done - been herself. On national television. And it’s worked a treat...

Justine Clarke has been performing on stage and screen for decades but most people will remember her as Roo from Home and Away in the 80s. So what was it like to have that level of fame as a child and how did she deal with it?

She also tells us what it's like to work on a show as iconic as Play School and what really goes on behind the scenes. And what is it like being 46 in an industry that prizes youth and beauty above most other things and why she's chosen her face over her career.
