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.

You can listen to Zara weekly on the Shameless podcast or follow her on Instagram here.

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. A month later, Pip announced that she would be rejoining Ksubi, the brand where she kicked off her career in fashion 20 years ago. 

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.

When blogger, business owner and single mum Sophie Cachia announced her third pregnancy with a social media post in July, what many did not know was that behind the scenes, she had been on a four-year-journey filled with plenty of emotional hurdles and what she says was “a lot of sadness and fear”. Almost immediately, intrigue and speculation ramped up, as people began to question the baby’s paternity and whether there was more to her happy story.

On this episode of Something To Talk About, Sophie sets the record straight – answering questions about why she is having another baby on her terms, confronting rumours that her ex-husband Jaryd was her sperm donor, and reveals she is in a new relationship with AFLW player Madison Prespakis.

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.
