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 Kate Langbroek, which originally aired May 18, 2024.
***
It’s been five years since Kate Langbroek and her husband and four children packed up to move to Italy – a decision that to this day has people stopping her in the street to discuss.
Now firmly entrenched back into the reality of life back in Australia, we decided it was time to sit down with the always entertaining - and always unpredictable - Kate to shamelessly pick her brains for an update on the whole work/life/family ratio in mid 2024.
Apart from her thoughts on ‘shadow labour’, and the often thankless work performed by many across the country, day in and day out, host Sarrah Le Marquand asks Kate about the “glamour gap” that exists between male and female television presenters when it comes to the VERY large difference in time spent in hair and make-up.
So, given Kate describes herself as “a lazy dresser” - as she says, even her boots have to have zips as she can’t be bothered doing up laces - would the “glamour gap” be a dealbreaker if she were to be offered the TV job of her dreams?
Kate also chats about her apparent witching powers, and opens up experiencing anxiety for the first time in her life, and how her husband’s response unexpectedly inspired her latest project.
You can hear Kate Langbroek on the The Buck Up wherever you get your podcasts.

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 Pip Edwards and Julie Bishop, which originally aired February 10, 2024.
***
At first glance, they may not seem to have much in common. Julie Bishop is a former foreign minister and current university chancellor, while Pip Edwards is co-founder and creative director of one of the country’s most successful activewear brands.
But in the past five years, they have forged an unlikely yet extremely close friendship that has endured despite their vastly different backgrounds, careers, ages and family circumstances.
So what happens when you put Bishop and Edwards - who are undoubtedly two of the most talked-about women in Australia - in front of a microphone? We invited them in to the studio for a lively and free-flowing conversation to find out what they have to say about supporting each other through media scandals and relationship woes, how they handle the paparazzi (even the ones who - yes - hide behind garbage bins), their mutual fashion for passion and what they’re texting to one another in private.

When Megan Gale kickstarted her modelling career in the early 2000s, she hardly expected she would still be at it as she approached her 50th birthday. But that’s exactly what has come to pass. On this episode of Something To Talk About, Megan joins Sarrah to discuss learning to be less hard on herself, and why it’s not so easy to – in her words – “push her buttons” any more. She also opens up about learning the hard way what happens when a woman dares to speak her mind and why, seven years into what she dubs “the longest engagement ever” to her fiancé Shaun Hampson, she is still in no rush to get married.
This year, Megan Gale returned as a Friend of David Jones. You can find out more about it here.

It’s one thing to start a pop-culture podcast with your best friend at the age of 23, but it’s another to find yourself running a multifaceted media company with 15 staff, five podcasts and more than 100 million downloads all before you hit 30. For Zara McDonald, it’s her reality.
On this episode of Something To Talk About, Zara joins Sarrah to discuss the importance, but also the danger, in having a hot take; the perks and the pressures of being a young female founder and the fractured nature of celebrity culture in the era of the algorithm.

A few months ago, Pip Edwards surprised everybody when she stepped down from P.E Nation, the activewear brand she co-founded in 2016, and which she helped turn into a global force.

In her first in-depth conversation since those headline-making moves, Pip is joining Sarrah in the Something To Talk About studio to explain how they are part of a much larger and total personal rebrand, fires up the continued obsession with her love life, discuss her bond with friend and radio presenter Jackie “O” Henderson, and reveal why, at 44, she believes she has truly come into her own.

Before he retired last year, David Stratton spent nearly six decades reviewing movies. And millions of Australians came to know and love him thanks to an on-air partnership with fellow critic Margaret Pomeranz, which turned them into household names and one of the most beloved double acts in the country.
On the show today, David joins Sarrah from his home – where he is still watching one, and often two, movies each day – to discuss his latest project, a book that chronicles three pivotal decades in Australian film; his enduring friendship with Margaret; his thoughts on some of his most infamous reviews – including an initially lukewarm reaction to comedy classic The Castle, and another that landed him in hot water with Julie Andrews - and the one film he thought was so awful he walked out of the cinema.
David Stratton’s new book Australia At The Movies is available to purchase here.

In the 30 years since Tina Arena stormed the charts with her hit song ‘Chains’, the powerhouse singer has become a vocal force to be reckoned with and one of the most successful Australian artists ever.
On the eve of a tour revisiting the 1994 album that would become a pivotal turning point in her career, Tina sits down with Something To Talk About for a no-holds-barred chat as she reflects on her beginnings as a child star (including the story of how she came to adopt her stage name), explains why she has never been afraid to speak her mind, calls out the “boring” narrative that pits successful women against one another - and reveals the heartbreak of being separated from her teenage son since the pandemic.
In celebration of the 30th anniversary of Don’t Ask, Tina Arena will head on tour in November 2024. She has also re-released a remix of Chains with Melbourne duo SHOUSE.

It’s been three years since Emma Watkins left the Wiggles - an announcement that broke the hearts of children everywhere (and one that left plenty of parents upset, too).
Emma made history when she became the first-ever female Wiggle in 2013, but as she toured the world as the Yellow Wiggle, she was also carving out time to explore her other passions. She studied for her PhD, which explored creative ways to use sign language and dance in children’s media. Ideas were brewing, and though she knew she would disappoint her young fans, Emma also knew she needed to back herself.
It was worth it: she has gone on to create a new and hugely popular alter ego, Emma Memma. She is running a business alongside her husband Oliver. And she is about to host a new ABC series that brought her back in contact with many of the children and families who had known and loved her as Emma Wiggle.
You can see Emma Watkins on Teenage Boss: Next Level airing on the ABC from October 12th 2024.

When writer and comedian Mark Humphries joined the Seven Network earlier this year to host a satirical segment for the 6pm national news bulletin, the announcement was met with endless headlines and heated social media commentary.
So why has three minutes of weekly television been the subject of so much debate?
Sitting down with the Stellar podcast Something To Talk About, Mark opens up to host Sarrah Le Marquand about what he calls “hostility to new ideas”, whether he still dreams of hosting the Logies - and gets serious about what it means to be a man, and a divorced dad, in modern Australia.
You can catch Mark Humphries on The 6.57pm News every Friday on the Seven Network.
Mark, satirist James Schloeffel and comedians Charles Firth and Veronica Milsom will tour nationally with The War On 2024 Annual Comedy Gala from November 27.

Eleven years ago, Tim Minchin gave a speech that went viral. The Matilda The Musical composer, who was being awarded an honorary doctorate at The University of Western Australia, shared his nine life lessons with the graduating class – and to say it struck a chord with the world is to put it mildly. It has since clocked more than five million views.
Now he’s turned that speech into a book called You Don't Have To Have A Dream. He joins Sarrah Le Marquand in the studio to discuss luck, micro-ambition, the poison of social media, compassion and infidelity. It gets a bit philosophical, but the thing about Tim is, he bares his soul in everything he does. And this conversation proved to be no different…
You Don't Have To Have A Dream by Tim Minchin (Penguin, $36.99) is out September 10, and available for pre-order now.
Something To Talk About is a podcast by Stellar, hosted by editor-in-chief Sarrah Le Marquand.
