    SUMMER LISTENING: Celeste Barber Got Famous For Being Real. Then It Got Complicated

    This summer we're curating your 456 playlist listening to bring you some of our favourite interviews from MID and No Filter.  Celeste Barber built a global following by being “real” - pulling faces in big knickers, parodying celebrity perfection, and making millions of people laugh on Instagram. But this is the side of Celeste that Instagram doesn’t see. In this intimate and revealing conversation, Celeste opens up about the chaos of her childhood, her ADHD diagnosis, the burnout that nearly broke her, and the pressure of being the internet’s favourite funny woman. She talks about her marriage to ‘Hot Husband’ Api and what it’s like raising kids while the world watches. She shares what fame has given her, what it’s taken, and the quiet work she’s done to figure out what parts of her life are just for her. Yes, she’s hilarious. But she’s also honest, vulnerable, and still figuring it out one little win at a time, just like the rest of us. This is the real Celeste Barber -  beyond the selfies, the knickers, and the punchlines.

    SUMMER LISTENING: ‘We Are So F-ed Up’: Caring For A Complicated Parent

    This summer we're curating your 456 playlist listening to bring you some of our favourite interviews from MID and No Filter.  When Caroline Baum and her mother Judith walked into family therapy, Caroline’s first thought was: 'We are going to eat you for breakfast… we are so f****d up…' After all, they had a lot to discuss. At 90 years old, Judith had recently invited herself to come and live with Caroline and her husband and... it wasn't going well. Caroline is a writer, speaker and broadcaster. She has written about the complexities of caring for her mother and trying to navigate the aged care system. And that essay, linked below, was going to form the basis of this conversation. But as you'll hear, there's so much more to discuss. Caroline's story is both highly specific and deeply universal - speaking to the perplexing and often contradictory realities of what it means to care for our parents in their elder years, and how not all narratives are neat and tidy ones of gratitude returned. In fact, some of them end up in therapy. You can follow Caroline Baum here You can listen to Caroline’s podcast about the art of the biography, Life Sentences, here. And you can read the essay that inspired this conversation, here.  Find more MID here. THE END BITS:  Share your feedback!

    SUMMER LISTENING: Georgia Love On Private Pain In A Public Life

    This summer we're curating your 456 playlist listening to bring you some of our favourite interviews from MID and No Filter.  Georgia Love — and yes, that is her real name — has always had a lot of love to give. Almost a decade ago, she stepped onto our screens as The Bachelorette, searching for just that: love. She found it, too, forming a relationship in the public eye that captured hearts around the country. But now, almost ten years on, that same relationship is ending — also in full view of the public. Georgia is no stranger to loss — both the kind she has chosen to share with the world, and the kind she's fought fiercely to keep private.In this conversation, you'll hear: Georgia discuss losing her mum just days after her Bachelorette finale aired The very public cancellation she endured that still stings... Stepping away from her career, a heartbreaking friendship breakup, and the ways in which she's been changed by public scrutiny. And, of course, her very recent separation from her husband, and how she's picking up the pieces. Georgia has weathered more storms than most. Each time, she's picked herself up, rebuilt her life, and somehow stayed open-hearted. Resilient, vulnerable, and tougher than she often gets credit for, Georgia Love is a woman who has lived many lives in one. You can follow Georgia Love here.

    SUMMER LISTENING: Rachel Griffiths Took A Sabbatical From Everything

    This summer we're curating your 456 playlist listening to bring you some of our favourite interviews from MID and No Filter.  Rachel Griffiths says she just got through her "peak mid-hell years" and she's here to tell us how. The actor, producer, and director has had many eras - from the "fast start" of Muriel's Wedding to being a Hollywood awards darling, a big-deal US TV star, the director of the Australian classic movie Ride Like A Girl, the co-creator of Total Control and now, the star of the TV show Madam. Through all that, she was also wrestling with the relatable MID dramas - parenting teens and young adults, a diagnosis that made sense of so much, caring for ageing relatives and trying to keep a long-term marriage going. No wonder, as she tells host Holly Wainwright, she and her husband needed a sabbatical. This conversation also veers off into ageing, the Hollywood stars Rachel used to envy but no longer does, how to stay optimistic in a tumultuous world and the relief of finding out she's "ADHD AF".

    SUMMER LISTENING: Suddenly Fired At 49

    This summer we're curating your 456 playlist listening to bring you some of our favourite interviews from MID and No Filter.  Eleanor Mills had a very fabulous job, one that she had built her life and identity around for decades. But her "midlife collision" was calling when the boss called her up to their office for a "chat". Years on, Eleanor is living a very different life, and one that has its start, as some good stories do, in a midlife mushroom trip. In this conversation, Eleanor talks about the question women are too afraid to ask themselves, empty nests, cold swimming, why her "Noon" women are the world's greatest untapped resource, and how she cured her "addiction to busyness" to rebuild after her midlife collision. You can find more about that, and Eleanor’s community of Queenagers here. Find more MID here. THE END BITS:  Share your feedback!

    SUMMER LISTENING: From Husbands to Friends, Poh Ling Yeow Has Mastered Breakups

    This summer we're curating your 456 playlist listening to bring you some of our favourite interviews from MID and No Filter.  You might know Poh Ling Yeow as an artist, a chef and a regular fixture on television ever since she was first introduced to Australia on MasterChef. But that’s just the public side of Poh. The version you see is only part of her truth; behind it lies a layered, often painful journey.  In this conversation Poh opens up about her years spent in the church before walking away from it, which left her untangling years of belief and identity.  She shares the profound grief she has experienced with the loss of her mother, and as well as the heartbreak of two marriage breakdowns and how those moments led to loneliness, questioning and rebuilding.  But through it all, she’s discovered something quite extraordinary: an ability to find beauty in the sorrow, light in the mess, and humour in the most unexpected places. This is a conversation about identity, resilience, creativity, and what it means to truly move on and start over.  You can watch Poh on this season of MasterChef on Network 10 and you can follow her here: https://www.instagram.com/pohlingyeow/?hl=en  Find more MID here.

Beyond acting, she’s also an advocate, a survivor, and now, at 47, she’s stepping into a surprising new chapter... motherhood for the seventh time. What she first thought was menopause turned out to be an unexpected pregnancy, something that took time to embrace. But that’s not the only battle Madeleine has faced. Just a few years ago, she made the courageous decision to help police uncover a pedophile—the man who abused her as a child. In this deeply personal and powerful conversation, Madeleine opens up about: How she came to terms with becoming a mother again at 47 The media storm that forced her to announce her pregnancy before she was ready The darkness she had to push through to become the woman she is today The moment she wore a wire to confront her abuser This is a story of survival, strength, and reclaiming your own narrative - no matter how impossible it may seem.

And that changed the way she viewed herself, and her life, forever.  As well as being an actress, Madeleine is also an author. An activist.

    The Moment Madeleine West Realised Her Relationship Was Over

    From the outside, Madeleine West had it all. A successful acting career, six beautiful kids, life in Melbourne, and a marriage of 15 years. Until a conversation about placemats made her question, 'Is this really what I want?'. It was at this moment that, Madeleine West chose to press 'Restart' on her life. It was hard- really hard in fact. So has it all been worth it? In the first episode of Restart, Madeleine explores something almost half of all Australian adults will go through at some point in their lives: divorce. Madeleine speaks to Divorce Coach & Legal and Separation Strategist (and divorcee) Nikki Parkinson, about the reality of separation. PLUS has a truly heartbreaking and hilarious chat with comedian and podcast host Helen Thorne, whose marriage became immediately unraveled after she found a love note in her husband's jacket pocket...that wasn't from her. No stone will be left unturned as Madeleine West explores what it is really like to restart your life. THE END BITS Buy Get Divorced, Be Happy by Helen Thorn and listen to her podcast Scummy Mummies.

    Holly Wainwright Walked Out Of Her Old Life

    Two years ago, Madeleine West hit restart on her life. She packed up her life in Melbourne and moved to Byron Bay, split up with her partner of 15 years and the father of her six kids and she started life again. And one of her biggest moments in her restart? It was her physical move from the leafy suburbs of Melbourne to Byron.  She had no choice but to start again. And that’s what a tree change or a sea change does to you, it forces you to Restart. In June last year, Holly Wainwright packed up her life in Sydney, along with her partner, kids and dog, and moved to the country. And since that moment her world has changed in incredible ways. And on this episode of Restart she tells Madeleine all about it. THE END BITS Find Holly on Mamamia Out Loud or This Glorous Mess GET IN TOUCH Feedback? We’re listening!

    Tony Albert of the Kuku Yalanji people is one of the most lauded and prolific Australian artists you’ve probably never heard of. His work has attracted enormous attention and a slew of major art prizes for his extensive body of work centred on ‘Aboriginalia’; his self-coined descriptor for kitsch, divisive representations of Indigenous culture and characters popular in the 50s and 60s. Tony charges these naive objects and their implied stereotypes with highly political sentiments exploring representations of race and difference. We explore Tony’s lived experience as a young gay man, ambitious and educated, confronted with decades of endemic stereotyping and discrimination. And how it is that despite all the reasons for anarchy, Tony’s art is steeped in themes of unity and forgiveness.
