    Emily Maitlis: The Interview That Brought Down A Prince

    What does it take to sit across from one of the world’s most powerful men… and not flinch? In this week’s episode of You’re Gonna Want To Hear This, Georgie McCourt sits down with legendary British broadcaster, journalist and author Emily Maitlis for a riveting conversation about career-defining interviews, the discipline of preparation, and why the best journalists never move on until they get an answer.  From the now-iconic Prince Andrew interview to covering revolutions, elections and some of the biggest global stories of our time, Emily reveals what was really going through her mind inside Buckingham Palace, why she locked herself in a bathroom moments before that interview… and how years of being underestimated as a “silly little girl” became her greatest strength.  She also opens up about motherhood in the public eye, the brutal early years of balancing young children with a high-pressure career, learning to lean into discomfort, and why women often become more powerful - - not less—as they get older.  Plus, Emily shares the one piece of advice every woman needs to hear right now.  In this episode, Emily shares:  Why great journalism is 80% preparation, 20% surrendering to chaos  The interview technique she swears by: “Don’t move on.”  What happened in the five minutes before the Prince Andrew interview  Why she never got angry sitting across from powerful men she believed weren’t telling the truth  How repetition, rejection and public mistakes built her confidence  The reality of raising children while living in the glare of public scrutiny  Why she feels more energised in her career now than ever before  Her next major investigation into the Epstein files  Her powerful message for women: “Choose your battles carefully… then fight for them.”  If you’ve ever struggled to ask the hard question, back yourself in a room full of powerful people, or wondered whether your best years are still ahead of you - this episode is for you.  In Australia, contact Lifeline on 13 11 14 for 24/7 crisis support, 1800RESPECT on 1800 737 732 for domestic, family and sexual violence support, or Blue Knot Foundation on 1300 657 380 for support around complex trauma and childhood trauma.  Emily Maitlis is the author of Airhead: The Imperfect Art of Making News and co-host of The News Agents.  🎧 Listen to You’re Gonna Want to Hear This and follow us on Apple Podcasts  Listen, follow and leave us a comment on Spotify - we'd love your feedback on this episode. 👀 Watch and subscribe to You're Gonna Want to Hear This on YouTube 📺 for full episodes and clips.  Credits:  Host Marie Claire Editor-in-Chief Georgie McCourt  Edited by Charlie Potter  Executive Producer Jessie-Lee Klass  Head of Vodcasting Rachel Fountain  Our amazing team at Marie Claire  Learn More: You're Gonna Want to Hear This is a production of Marie Claire and Are Media.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Maggie Walters: I Have Dissociative Identity Disorder - Motherhood Helped Me Heal

    CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains discussion about abuse and trauma.  Maggie Walters has lived a life most people could barely comprehend. Diagnosed in her twenties with Dissociative Identity Disorder, formerly known as Multiple Personality Disorder, Maggie came to understand that her mind had created different parts, or “alters”, to help her survive severe childhood trauma. In her first book Split, Maggie shared the story of that trauma and introduced readers to “the girls”, the parts of her who protected her through experiences no child should ever have to endure. Now, in her new book Fractured Motherhood, Maggie explores what came next: becoming a mother, adopting three children from the Philippines, and learning how to parent with love, courage and honesty while navigating DID, trauma and fear. In this deeply powerful conversation, Maggie joins You’re Gonna Want To Hear This and tells Marie Claire Editor Georgie McCourt about what DID really is, why it is so misunderstood, how trauma shaped her childhood, and how motherhood helped her break a cycle of intergenerational harm. This is not a story about being defined by trauma. It is a story about survival, hope, identity, parenting, and the extraordinary ways people find a path forward. This episode covers: * Maggie Walters’ diagnosis with Dissociative Identity Disorder / Multiple Personality Disorder * What DID really feels like from the inside * How childhood trauma can lead to dissociation * Why Maggie calls her alters “the girls” * Writing Split and Fractured Motherhood * Adopting her three children from the Philippines * The fear of passing trauma on to your children * Mothering while navigating mental health challenges * Breaking cycles of intergenerational trauma * Why Maggie believes change and hope are always possible If this conversation raises issues for you, support is available.

    The Day I Learned My Stepdad Was A Child Killer - Sherele Moody

    For more than a decade, journalist and activist Sherele Moody has been documenting the stories too often reduced to statistics - every known Australian woman and child killed by violence. Through Australian Femicide Watch and the Red Heart Movement, her work has become a powerful, living record - one that ensures these lives are seen, named and never forgotten. But this isn’t just advocacy for Sherele, it’s very personal. In this deeply confronting and essential conversation, Sherele joins You’re Gonna Want To Hear This to share the story that changed her life - the moment she discovered her stepfather was responsible for the murder of two young girls. A revelation that would go on to shape her life’s work. From a childhood marked by abuse and instability, to building one of the most significant databases of violence against women in Australia, Sherele speaks with unflinching honesty about trauma, survival, and the cost of speaking out. She also unpacks the systemic failures that continue to put women at risk - and why the question isn’t why women stay, but why it remains so difficult to leave. This episode covers: The personal story behind Sherele’s activism The reality of femicide in Australia - and what the numbers miss Why domestic violence systems are failing women The emotional toll of documenting over 3,000 deaths How community, connection and action can drive change If this conversation raises issues for you, support is available.

    Lisa Wilkinson: Behind The Career You Think You Know

    For decades, Lisa Wilkinson has been one of the most recognisable and trusted voices in Australian media - asking the questions, shaping the national conversation, and, at times, carrying the weight of the stories she tells. But in this episode of You’re Gonna Want To Hear This, she turns the lens inward. Lisa joins Georgie McCourt for a candid conversation about what it really takes to build - and sustain - a career at the highest level. From backing her instincts early on (including taking a chance on a then-unknown Nicole Kidman), to walking away at pivotal moments, she reflects on the risks, reinventions and resilience that have defined her path. She also opens up about motherhood, self-doubt, and the pressure many women carry - even at the height of success. At the centre of the conversation is her new book The Titanic Story of Evelyn  - a deeply researched work of historical non-fiction uncovering the story of Evelyn Marsden, the only Australian-born survivor of the Titanic. What began as curiosity quickly became something more personal - a story Lisa felt compelled to tell. This is a conversation about instinct, evolution, and never standing still. In this episode: Why Lisa says “none of it was guaranteed” The career risks that shaped her path The decision to step away - and what it taught he Motherhood, ambition and self-doubt The story of Evelyn Marsden - and why it stayed with her What it really means to keep evolving 🎧 Listen now wherever you get your podcasts, and watch our full episodes and clips on YouTube Follow us on Apple Podcasts or Spotify   Connect on Instagram And Go deeper on our website If this episode moved you, share it with someone who needs to hear it or see it.
