    What would you do if your husband cheated? And what if you found out about it at the same time the whole world did. That’s what happened to Nia. She found out her husband, Sam, had been unfaithful to her when all the data from the Ashley Madison website was leaked in one of the largest data breaches ever.

    Sam & Nia participated in a documentary about Ashley Madison on Netflix - but in this episode of No Filter, they share parts of their story with Mia that they haven’t shared before.It’s a raw, honest conversation with a couple who have been through so much and a really intimate look at the complexities of infidelity and of forgiveness.

    Sam & Nia’s Memoir: Live In Truth is available here.  

    Here’s a link to their YouTube channel.

    BONUS EPISODE: Why Lauren Jackson Came Back To Basketball At 41

    Subscribe to Mamamia

    Lauren Jackson is the GOAT in Australian women's basketball. Her last Olympic games was in 2012 and she retired from the sport in 2016 after a routine leg wax while recovering from an ACL injury went bad. Then, in 2022, aged 41, she made a comeback to the sport and now at 43 she is part of the team who qualified for the Paris 2024 Olympics. 

    In the third episode of this special No Filter mini-series, Lauren talks to guest host Libby Trickett about how guilty she feels leaving her two young boys to travel for work and what she puts her body through every day. And is she going to Paris?

    Patric Gagne Is A Sociopath

    Patric Gagne Is A Sociopath

    You can hear the second half of Mia's conversation with Patric here. Subscribe to MamamiaPatric Gagne is not what most people picture when they hear the word ‘sociopath’. For example, she’s married and has two children. She’s a functioning member of society. She has friends.

    Sociopaths tend to lie, break laws, act impulsively and they have little regard for their own safety because they simply don’t have fear or guilt. All these things are true for Patric.

    In this conversation Patric talks to Mia Freedman about the emotions she doesn't feel, the signs that popped up when she was a child and what it's like being friends with a sociopath.

    It’s believed just under 5% of the population are sociopaths, that’s one in 25 people. That’s why Patric wrote her memoir Sociopaths, to share what it’s really like.Patric's book Sociopaths is available here

Justin Cullen

This lady proves herself a disappointment. A privileged person in every way. A high flying privileged woman in a very superficial profession. And still complains for unfortunately not being able to conceive a female offspring. And oh the selective denial of science that gender is apparently not determined in the womb. Never-mind the genetic factors, chromosomes etc. the imagined prejudice against Asians. I am a Filipino , similar physical characteristics as an Indonesian person and this prejudice she’s talking about is news to me. How much could she have been suffering from it from her paid for business class flight to Paris? Utterly ridiculous. Mia, I love listening to you, I think you are highly intelligent but This guest was a head scratcher.

Still love it in 2024

Can’t remember when I wrote the review below, but I’ve come back to say that I am still an avid listener. Mia Freedman is an excellent interviewer who asks the questions you want answered in a gentle, non-threatening way - even when they’re awkward and incredibly personal. I’m a Mamamia subscriber (and have been since the beginning) because I want to contribute a tiny amount towards the cost of the hours, upon hours of content I listen to every month. Thanks Mamamia and Mia Freedman for filling my life with interesting words - in all their forms.

You may not necessarily be interested in every single guest at the outset but I find that every episode sparks my interest. Well worth listening to. Go back through the archives and listen gems like Jessica Rowe, Sarah Ferguson and Celeste Barber. You won’t be disappointed.
