She opens up about learning how to pivot, silencing the negative voice in your head, and the heartbreak of being blindsided when her beloved character Bea was killed off Wentworth. Danielle also gets into the trenches of menopause and the morning ritual that's been changing everything.

When nobody would give Nick Giannopoulos a role, he created his own. In this episode, he joins Sam and Sarah to talk about growing up above his parents’ milk bar, the unexpected rise of Wogs Out of Work, betting everything on The Wog Boy, and the moment he realised just how much of his success came from his father. It’s a conversation about backing yourself, finding your audience, and why waiting for permission rarely works.

How do you build a career with no map and no rulebook? Myf Warhurst has done exactly that, from triple j to Spicks and Specks to her own podcast The Moment. In this episode she joins Sam and Sarah to talk about quietly opening doors for women in radio, why every sacking and curveball pushed her somewhere better, and how she learned to back herself and play by her own rules. It's about reinvention, failing without fear, and the simple, powerful truth that you get to choose who you become... at any age.

From making comedy skits on their phones in Melbourne to selling out stages across the world, the Sooshi Mango boys sit down with Sam and Sarah for one of the most fun episodes yet. They get into what it was like growing up in Australia as “the wog kid”, facing racism and then learning to be proud to be different. They unpack the origin of their first viral video and what taking their culture to a global stage actually means to them.
