  • 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. Something To Talk About is a podcast by Stellar, hosted by Sarrah Le Marquand.

  • Trouble | 1

  • Wizards, Hobbits and WWII: Dominic Sandbrook on The Lord of the Rings

    One ring to rule them all One ring to… Yes, SLoB finally turns its Sauron-like eye on what is thought to be the second best-selling novel of all time (after Dickens’ Tale of Two Cities): Lord of the Rings. And who better to share this experience than Dominic Sandbrook, historian of the 20th Century, co-host of the Rest is History podcast, and Tolkien devotee.  In this Fellowship of Literary Analysis, Dominic, Sophie and Jonty are united in believing that Lord of the Rings - a novel which, superficially, appears to be about orcs and wizards in a fantasy realm - is in fact one of the greatest novels about the 20th Century. Together, they plunder Tolkien’s work and life to show how seismic events - two world wars, the rise of fascism, industrialisation, environmental disaster - found expression in his sprawling masterpiece. Jonty and Dominic clash, like marauding armies on the plains of Mordor, over whether the many poems and songs in Lord of the Rings are of a quality that the reader deserves. While Sophie embarks on the inevitable digression into the Dead Marshes of the Protestant Reformation.  Dominic gives the shock announcement that Tolkien almost called Frodo ‘Bingo’, which would have made for a great episode of Bluey but not for a terrifying novel about good versus evil. Even less so if Tolkien had also followed his original intention to call Aragorn ‘Trotter’ and the Elves ‘Gnomes’. After all, it’s hard to imagine Cate Blanchett signing up for the role of Galadriel, the ethereal gnome  Further reading: The Great British Dream Factory: The Strange History of Our National Imagination by Dominic Sandbrook (London: Allen Lane. 2015) JRR Tolkien: A Biography by Humphrey Carpenter (Harper Collins, 1998) -- To join the Secret Life of Books Club visit: www.secretlifeofbooks.org -- Please support us on Patreon to keep the lights on in the SLoB studio and get bonus content: patreon.com/secretlifeofbookspodcast -- Follow us on our socials: youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@secretlifeofbookspodcast/shorts insta: https://www.instagram.com/secretlifeofbookspodcast/ bluesky: @slobpodcast.bsky.social Producer: Boyd Britton Digital Content Coordinator: Olivia di Costanzo Designer: Peita Jackson Our thanks to the University of Sydney Business School.

  • The family secret that inspired 'The Teacher's Pet'

    Journalist Hedley Thomas grew up knowing that his grandmother Gladys had vanished in the sea off Sydney in the 1950s when she was just 35 years old. Decades later, her story spurred him on to begin a new life as a hugely successful true crime podcaster   Hedley Thomas has had a storied career in journalism, which has seen him win many Walkley Awards and expose a lot of corruption and dodgy dealings. But it has also placed Hedley and his family in harm's way.  In 2002 Hedley and his wife Ruth were at their home when bullets were fired into their bedroom, missing their heads by just centimetres. The shooter was never found, and Hedley grappled with PTSD after the event. A couple of decades later Hedley decided to begin a podcast about a story which had stayed with him for years. It was the about a woman named Lyn who 'went missing' from her home in the Northern Beaches of Sydney in the 1980s, and was never seen again.  Hedley's podcast, The Teacher's Pet, became a huge hit. Five years after it began, Lyn's former husband Chris Dawson was convicted of her murder and sentenced to 24 years in jail. Just recently, Hedley has started speaking out about how his commitment to Lyn's story, and to finding justice for her was partly inspired by a tragedy in his own family which occurred decades earlier, just a few kilometres from where Lyn vanished. This episode of Conversations touches on family dynamics, true crime, femicide, domestic violence, family origins, life story, secret family, ancestry, parenting, PTSD, Donald Trump, Hong Kong, London, New York, Australian expats, foreign correspondents, police corruption.

  • 1: No Way Out

    On the night of Monday September 16, 2024 music business mogul, hip hop pioneer and cultural icon Sean “Diddy” Combs was taken into custody in New York. Just one day later Combs was inside a federal courthouse in downtown Manhattan. He has since been denied bail. Prosecutors are alleging that he created and ran a “criminal enterprise” via a business empire that engaged in sex trafficking, forced labour, kidnapping, arson, bribery and obstruction of justice. On September 27, new sexual assault allegations arose when a woman filed a lawsuit in New York saying she was repeatedly raped and drugged at Diddy’s homes - becoming pregnant after one of the encounters. On Tuesday October 1, Houston-based attorney Tony Buzbee launched a class action lawsuit saying more the than 50 alleged victims he’s representing have "gut-wrenching" stories about what went down at the alleged "freak offs”. Buzbee alleges "mind-boggling" violations alongside "debauchery and depravity, exacted by powerful people." In the first episode of this special series of The Trial, DailyMail.com’s West Coast News Editor Marjorie Hernandez breaks down how Combs’ rise up through the music industry saw him grow from a teenager obsessed with hip hop and street style into a man whose endless funds, fame and power unleashed what some say was a terrifyingly abusive side.

  • Mr. Sherlock Holmes

    I was blown up while serving as an Assistant Surgeon in a foreign legion unit. It was just a few miles north of the Antonovsky bridge in Kherson, Ukraine. I returned to London a few months later as my role in the conflict had come to an end. I had planned on documenting what life is like for veterans in the UK as a podcast. I was going to break down what it truly means to be a soldier, speak to those that had served, those that had suffered and triumphed in warfare. I had planned to record long-form interviews and even chart the course of various conflicts... But then I bumped into an old friend mid-record and he introduced me to Mr. Sherlock Holmes. Then everything changed. Listener discretion is advised. This podcast is property of Goalhanger Podcasts. Copyright 2023. ------- SHERLOCK AND CO.
