No Filter

Michelle Bridges gets stuff done. 

She is an entrepreneur, a personal trainer, a television personality, and a new mum to son Axel. And did we mention she has written 13 books? Yeah.

But what you might not know about Michelle is that she is a survivor of sexual assault, is an absolute "sook" about her baby son, and that on the day she sat down to talk to Mia Freedman about her new book Make It Happen, her boobs were killing her. Welcome to No Filter. 

Show Notes:

Your host is Mia Freedman.

With thanks to special guest Michelle Bridges

This podcast was produced by Elissa Ratliff

Make It Happen is released on March 1.

Sam Armytage has had a rough few days.

As co-host on Australia's highest-rating breakfast TV show Sunrise, Sam is used to everyone having an opinion about her. But after an interview with Hollywood star Kristin Davies took an unexpected turn last week, that attention has taken a particularly negative turn. 

Sam talks to Mia about how breakfast television works, how it feels to be labelled a "mindless bimbo" by a peer in print, and how a cheesy celebrity skit can spin into a national discussion about feminism. Again.

She is one of Australia's funniest women. But behind the big hair of her famous character, Effie, it's Mary Coustas' unfaultering desire to become a mother that has provided her life's biggest challenges. 

Through 23 IVF attempts, Mary suffered unimaginable losses, faced unenviable decisions and ultimately, found the joy that she'd been looking for all along. Here, she shares with Mia what got her through that experience, and what she wishes she'd known back at the very beginning.

Gold Logie winner and darling of the Australian media, Carrie Bickmore spends her nights hosting Channel Ten's The Project.

But outside of that, this mother of two has a mission. One that was born from the death of her husband.

At the 2015 Logies, Carrie made the whole of Australia listen when she used her Gold Logie acceptance speech to create awareness about brain cancer. She put on a beanie, and asked the rest of Australia to. And she’s about to do it again with Carries Beanies 4 Brain Cancer.

Osher Gunsberg is a man who has completely rebuilt himself.

As Andrew G, he was best known for his hosting role on Channel V and the smash hit TV show, Australian Idol. A charming, extroverted, fun guy. But off camera, he was a introvert so riddled with anxiety he couldn't face any social events without the safety of booze. 

Until one day, he met a guy in Tel Aviv who told him if he changed his name it would change his  life.

And it did.

Now you might know him as Osher Gunsberg, the nice guy host of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, or host of his own podcast, The Osher Gunsberg podcast.

A teetotaller vegetarian, he’s a man who has completely reinvented himself.

So how did he get there? And what’s next?

Show notes

Thanks for listening to No Filter.

Thankyou to Osher Gunsberg.
