In 2022, best friends and business partners Lise Carlaw and Sarah Wills decided to host an afternoon dance party at a bowling club in Brisbane. 

Three years later, Disco Club has become a movement, with thousands of women, between the ages of 18 and 81, turning up to dance their worries away in a safe, inclusive environment. 

In this episode of the Stellar podcast, Lise and Sarah share the story behind Disco Club’s wild success, they explain why every woman needs an “ugly friend” in her life, and they reflect on the popularity of their recaps of The Golden Bachelor and why we desperately need more visibility for women over 40 on TV. 

Lise and Sarah’s national Disco Club tour kicks off on March 7 in Brisbane, before heading to Melbourne, Sydney and Perth. Head here for tickets.

A lot of people have been cancelled in 2025, and Clare Stephens has spoken to a few of them. The writer, editor and podcaster joins Sarrah Le Marquand to unpack the psychology behind outrage culture, the emotional toll of public shaming, and the double standards that still define how we judge women in the public eye.

Alongside publishing her debut novel The Worst Thing I’ve Ever Done, this year Clare also launched The Pile-On, a podcast giving voice to people who’ve been “cancelled” and exploring what those moments reveal about all of us. In this conversation, she reflects on empathy, accountability, and why she believes it’s time we stopped confusing cruelty with change.

Anna Robards was only 26 when she met her now husband Tim Robards on the inaugural season of The Bachelor in 2013. 

Once the finale aired, Anna was thrust into the spotlight and found herself trying to navigate one of the most publicly scrutinised relationships in the country and a new career in media. Then, after a stint on reality show SAS Australia and a near-fatal birth experience, Anna learnt how to let go of fear and finally found her voice. 

In this episode of the Stellar podcast, Anna tells us about the five words a Navy Seal said to her that changed her life, what it’s like to support a spouse who’s an aspiring actor, and how the traumatic birth of her second child taught her to finally live in the moment.

After nearly 17 years of marriage, David and Lisa Campbell decided it was time to embark on a passion project that would fulfil each of them in a very specific way. So they launched a podcast, one devoted to the legacy of Jane Austen. Lisa, a theatre producer and casting director, has been an Austen devotee for her entire adult life. Today Extra co-host and entertainer David, meanwhile, only recently picked up Pride And Prejudice for the first time.

Into The Austenverse blends pop culture, literature and the unique rhythms of their enduring marriage, with plenty of wit along the way.

In this conversation, they talk about where the idea started, what revisiting Austen’s world has revealed to them, and how the themes of love, class and character still resonate today. They open up about family life, their friendship with Magda Szubanski, and why – 13 years on – David still loves working in morning TV.
