    Natalie Bassingthwaighte: “I'm happier than I've ever been”

    Natalie Bassingthwaighte knows a thing or two about reinvention. She’s done it multiple times in her career. Musical theatre performer. Singer. Actor. Television host. Reality TV star. She’s done it in her personal life, too. Sixteen months ago, Natalie joined Sarrah for an exclusive chat on the Stellar podcast, where she revealed for the first time that she had found new love with a woman. Now Natalie is back in the studio to reflect on what her life has looked like since: from navigating co-parenting on her own terms to basking in the glow of her relationship with her new partner and even starting to write her memoir. And as she looks ahead to her 50th birthday this September, Natalie explains why she wants to keep challenging herself by tackling things she’s never done before – like her current one-woman show Shirley Valentine.   Listen to our previous interview with Natalie here Shirley Valentine is on at the Canberra Theatre Centre from March 19-23, and will open at Her Majesty’s Theatre in Adelaide on April 1 for eight performances only.

  3. Dannii Minogue on matchmaking, motherhood & her lowest moment

    Dannii Minogue on matchmaking, motherhood & her lowest moment

    When Dannii Minogue convinced her parents to let her try out for Young Talent Time at the age of seven, she had no idea of the impact it would have – not only on her life, but that of the entire family, too. Because back in the early ‘80s, Minogue was just another surname in the suburban phone book. Today, of course, it’s so much more than that. It’s Dannii. It’s Kylie. It’s disco and dancing and reality TV. It’s World Pride and Mardi Gras and being an ally. On this episode of Something To Talk About, Dannii joins Sarrah to discuss her love of matchmaking, her “lowest moment” – and what it was really like growing up Minogue. You can see more of Dannii Minogue on I Kissed A Girl, streaming on Binge, and, as of February 20, also on I Kissed A Boy with new episodes dropping 8.30pm on Thursdays on Binge.

    Rebecca Gibney’s year of saying yes

    Having recently turned 60, Rebecca Gibney is entering what she calls her “third act” vowing to do things that take her firmly out of comfort zone.  To that end, as she exclusively reveals in this episode, she’s taking a whirl on a surprising new project by signing on to Dancing With The Stars.  In a wide-ranging conversation with host Sarrah Le Marquand, Rebecca takes us inside her emotional Logie Hall of Fame induction last year, shares the secrets of her nearly 25-year marriage, and reflects on her lifelong friendships with some of the country’s most high-profile women.  Rebecca Gibney will appear on Dancing With The Stars later this year on the Seven Network Watch the full episode with Rebecca here.

  5. Karl Stefanovic on family, fear and the price of fame

    Karl Stefanovic on family, fear and the price of fame

    He is one of the most recognisable names (and faces) in the country, but despite the fact he has been beaming into Australian homes for 20 years as co-host of the Today show, Karl Stefanovic remains in many ways an elusive man. He rarely gives in-depth interviews, but on this episode of Something To Talk About, Karl sits down for a no-holds-barred chat, with no topic off limits… and even a few tears. He opens up about everything: family dramas; his relationships with the seven women who have sat alongside him at the desk; and why, as someone who believes he has the “worst sense of humour in the world”, he is shocked that two decades on, he still has a job… Watch the full episode with Karl here.  You can hear more from Karl on the Today Show, weekday mornings from 5.30 AM on Nine.

    Why Tammin Sursok no longer ‘fakes it’

    Tammin Sursok is an accomplished actor, singer, podcaster and producer best known for her roles in hit TV series like Home and Away, The Young and The Restless and Pretty Little Liars. From the outside, her life looks glamorous. She splits her time between Sydney and Nashville with her husband and two children. But if you follow her on Instagram or listen to her podcast, you know that Tammin is not one bit interested in portraying her life as picture perfect. That’s because, as she says, “I don’t know how to fake it.” On this episode of Something To Talk About, Tammin joins Sarrah to discuss everything from the nerve-wracking early days of her career to turning down Robyn’s hit single ‘Dancing On My Own’ to why it’s never been more important to speak up for women’s rights and be a proud feminist.  Listen to The Shit Show with Tammin Sursok Podcast here Follow Tammin on Instagram here.  Something To Talk About is a podcast by Stellar, hosted by Editor-In-Chief Sarrah Le Marquand.Find more from Stellar via Instagram @stellarmag or stellarmag.com.au   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Summer series: in conversation with Hamish Blake

    Something To Talk About is continuing to publish across the summer break, and will be back with a brand new episode on January 12.  In the meantime, we are revisiting some of your favourites from the 50 episodes we released over the past year. Today’s conversation is with Hamish Blake, which originally aired April 16, 2024.  ***  For more than 20 years, Hamish Blake has been a familiar face on the Australian entertainment landscape, moving seamlessly between the worlds of radio, television and podcasting. So what’s been the secret to his success? In a rare in-depth interview, the popular entertainer and two-time Gold Logie winner chalks it up to luck - as well as a healthy dose of fun. Case in point: a spirited discussion about black cat lollies, the burial rituals of ancient Egypt and his theory that a well-stocked snack cupboard is key to a happy workplace. Of course, there is a lot more to Hamish than mere clowning around. The Lego Masters host also opens up about the public’s ongoing fascination with his marriage to Zoë Foster Blake, talks about the joy and chaos of fatherhood to two young children, discusses how he and longtime creative partner and friend Andy Lee have navigated the different life paths they have embarked upon and finally addresses what was really going through his head when the cameras cut to him during Sonia Kruger’s infamous Gold Logie acceptance speech last year.
