No Filter

Benson Boone knows what people say about him. He’s heard the Harry Styles comparisons, the Freddie Mercury references and the assumptions about everything from his jumpsuits to his politics. He’s even had strangers tell him they thought he’d be a “real douchebag”.

We know No Filter listeners love a great interview so we’re sharing an interview from our sister podcast, The Spill. No Filter executive producer and Spill guest host Bree Player sits down with Benson to talk about what people get wrong about him, why those comparisons can be frustrating, and the imposter syndrome that follows him into rooms full of his musical heroes.

For someone so confident onstage, life away from it can take some figuring out. Benson opens up about adjusting to the quiet after a tour, his constantly racing mind and how a song about losing one person became a love letter to the people who show up for him.

Rodger Corser has played a jackaroo, a detective, a cop and a heart surgeon, and for most of his career he's been very good at not telling us much about himself. In this episode Kate gets him talking.

He takes us back to the pub bands he played from age 16, and to the film school degree that was supposed to put him behind the camera. He tells the story of walking into the Rent audition with no plan and walking out with the lead, and of the notorious party cast that followed. We hear about meeting his wife Renae through a matchmaking agent, and about becoming a stepdad and then a dad. Rodger also talks about the diagnosis that came barely a year into their relationship, how bluntly it was delivered, and the second opinion Renae's mum insisted on that changed everything. From there he describes the busy years of 12-hour days and months away from home, which his family carried, and the quiet years since. He also gets into the Underbelly nickname that has followed him around for almost two decades.

Rodger talks about the pivot from scripted drama to hosting The Traitors and The Floor, the Today show speculation, and why he thinks the industry asks young performers to give away too much of themselves. Then there's Shawshank. After 20 years away he's returning to the stage as the Warden, opening at Sydney's Theatre Royal in January 2027 and touring to Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide and Brisbane.

Koko Casey was a flight nurse. She spent her career flying into disaster zones and distant countries, keeping critically ill strangers alive at 30,000 feet, until the night a routine medical retrieval turned into the plane crash she was never supposed to survive. On the 17th of November, 2009, the jet she was working on ran out of fuel in a storm off Norfolk Island and ditched into the ocean at close to 200 kilometres an hour. Koko and everyone else on board lived. What came next very nearly took her life anyway.

In this episode, Koko tells Kate Langbroek what the official story leaves out: the sixteen years of chronic pain and PTSD that followed the crash, the slow slide into addiction and self-loathing she now calls "the hitchhikers," and the points where she came closest to not making it at all, including an overdose discovered by her own children. She talks about the group therapy session that changed how she spoke to herself, the flying lesson she booked to face her fear head-on, meeting the man who would become her husband while he was landscaping her backyard, and the decision to legally change her name as a symbol of who she'd become. She also talks about her work today, presenting to the Royal Australian Air Force's Human Performance and Safety team, and what it took to finally put her story on the page.

If you or anyone you know needs to speak with an expert, please contact your GP or in Australia, contact Lifeline (13 11 14), Kids Helpline (1800 55 1800) or Beyond Blue (1300 22 4636), all of which provide trained counsellors you can talk with 24/7.

Koko Casey's book, Stay: From Flight Nurse to Patient, is out now through New Holland Publishers.

Here is a very special episode of Unleashed, Mamamia’s podcast for Gen X women.

One of the hosts of Unleashed, Dr Ginni Mansberg, has been going through something incredibly difficult. Ginni’s mum had been very ill for a long time and made the decision to choose voluntary assisted dying.

Ginni wanted to talk about what was happening with her mum and her family on Unleashed. And rather than just having a conversation about VAD, they decided to tell the whole story.

It’s about what happens when you know someone you love is going to die. About family, grief, love and all the complicated feelings that come with saying goodbye.

And it’s Ginni telling that story as both a doctor and, ultimately, as a daughter.

This is part one of a three-part series, beginning one month before Ginni’s mum’s death. Listen to part two and part three here.

Please take care while listening. This episode discusses voluntary assisted dying, death and grief. If this conversation brought up hard feelings and you need some help, please call Lifeline here.

In your ears today is Cath Mahoney, Bruna Papandrea and Ginni Mansberg

Check out our Unleashed music playlist for some feel good throwbacks!

Jason Donovan has spent almost forty years being reinvented in public: teen heartthrob, chart-topping pop star, tabloid cautionary tale, musical theatre mainstay. In this conversation with Kate, he finally puts it all together in his own words, including the night at LA's Viper Room he still doesn't love talking about, and what he now understands about why it happened.

Jason opens up about growing up the son of an actor in 1970s Melbourne, being cast alongside a young Kylie Minogue years before Neighbours, and the strange, competitive spark that pushed him toward a pop career of his own. He talks candidly about his recent, surprisingly honest turn in Kylie's new Netflix documentary, revisiting their relationship on his own terms rather than a tabloid's. He reflects on turning down Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, and on his father Terence Donovan's legacy fighting for Australian content quotas in the 1970s, a movement he says made his own career, and Hugh Jackman's and Cate Blanchett's, possible. And in a moment he says he's never spoken about publicly before, Jason talks about losing his dad earlier this year, and what it means to bring Randle P. McMurphy to life in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest on the very Melbourne stage his father once performed on.

Jason Donovan stars as Randle P. McMurphy in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, exclusively at Melbourne's Athenaeum Theatre from 13 November. Tickets at cuckoosnest.com.au.

For the best part of a decade, Cassandra Thorburn has been publicly known as one thing: Karl Stefanovic's ex-wife. The headline that ran when their 21-year marriage ended in 2016, and pretty much every headline since.

But Cassandra was a journalist and a television producer long before any of that, working across Australia, New Zealand and the US, and in the years since her divorce she's quietly rebuilt herself over and over: a season of Dancing with the Stars, a children's book, a podcast on surviving separation, a stint as a dental nurse, aged care work through the pandemic. She is, by her own account, someone who has never really had a plan. She's just kept saying yes to the next thing.

Then, at the start of this year, she was diagnosed with a rare, aggressive form of breast cancer, one so uncommon that fewer than two per cent of Australian cases look like hers. 

This time, she decided, she'd be the one telling the story. She's spent the months since documenting her treatment in unflinching detail on her social media platform and working with the Breast Cancer Network Australia to make sure other women don't miss what she nearly did.

Jennifer Robinson has spent her career standing beside people who have found themselves up against some of the most powerful institutions in the world.

The Australian human rights lawyer has represented Julian Assange and Amber Heard, and her new documentary Silenced examines what can happen to women who speak publicly about violence and abuse.

In this episode of No Filter, Jennifer talks to Kate Langbroek about the grandmother who inspired her life’s work, what she witnessed while representing Amber Heard, and how social media shaped the public response to the Depp-Heard case. She also explains why Brittany Higgins’ story became central to Silenced, and the extraordinary personal cost that speaking out can carry.

Jennifer also takes Kate inside her 14-year fight to help bring Julian Assange home, and reflects on what that case taught her about power, the media and her continuing belief that change is possible.

At the heart of the conversation is a difficult question: what is the price women pay for speaking out, and how do we make it safer for them to use their voice?

Silenced is in cinemas now.

Blanche d’Alpuget has died aged 82.

To remember the celebrated author, activist and widow of former Prime Minister Bob Hawke listen back to this episode from 2018, when Blanche spoke to Mia Freedman about love, lust, longing and the great loves of her life. 

It was 1970 in Jakarta when a then married Blanche met a then married Robert Hawke. She thought his name was Robin. Little did she knew he would go on to become the great love of her life. Six years later, in 1976, she met Robert again. Their affair began and continued on and off until 1995 when they married. 

In person, Blanche was extraordinarily beautiful down-to-earth, quick to laugh, searingly honest and still madly in love with the man who has - along with her career and her son - been the big love of her life. She joined Mia to talk about Bob, love and her book On Lust and Longing…

Ally Langdon has spent more than 25 years at Channel Nine, reporting from war zones and natural disasters for 60 Minutes, surviving the brutal hours of breakfast television and eventually taking over one of the most coveted chairs in Australian TV as host of A Current Affair.

But for someone millions of Australians feel they know, Ally has kept much of her life firmly out of the spotlight.

In this episode of No Filter, Ally joins Kate Langbroek for a funny, candid and surprisingly personal conversation about the woman behind the television career.

She talks about raising two children with husband Mike Willesee Jr, the years they spent barely seeing each other while both had demanding careers, why she refuses to read the comments about herself and what really went through her mind when she was offered the A Current Affair job.

Ally also takes Kate back to her childhood on a farm on the NSW Mid North Coast, reflects on the stories that have stayed with her after decades as a journalist and explains why, despite everything she has witnessed, she still believes there is far more good in the world than bad.

And ahead of R U OK?Day, Ally shares the deeply personal story of her friendship with Maryanne Larkin and her late husband Gavin, the founder of R U OK?, and how their families have remained connected through extraordinary love and unimaginable loss.

Gloria Steinem, one of the most recognisable voices of modern feminism, has died at 92. In tribute, we're re-sharing this 2016 conversation between Gloria and Mia Freedman, recorded during Gloria's visit to Australia.

Gloria talks openly about the illegal abortion she had in London in 1957, her decision not to have children, her marriage later in life to "the friend I married," and the mother whose own ambitions were given up for family. She reflects on ageing in public, the pressure on women to stay young, celebrity feminism, and her friendships with a younger generation of feminists including Lena Dunham.

It's a candid, wide-ranging conversation with a woman who shaped the modern women's movement — full of the warmth, wit and clarity she was known for.
