Think for a moment, what  would happen if you had a dream career, pilot, engineer, drummer - and your family absolutely did not back you in what you were trying to achieve.

You’re a teenager. They have your best interests at heart, they love you and just want success for you, but you might have other ideas.

Would you try anyway?

That’s pretty much what happened with Ada Nicodemou. For 31 years she’s been on Australian screens, and now she’s on our bookshelves with the release of a new series of books titled “Mia Megastar”, aimed kids 8 and up.

Today she speaks with Osher about her path to success, what keeps her successful, and why books are so important for growing minds.

Better Than Yesterday with Osher Gunsberg

Home & Away star Ada Nicodemou reveals the secret to her 30-plus year career on screen

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/2fb3740d-3436-44af-8cc0-a91900716aa5/clips/264511d5-e5cf-4a86-b6c6-b3ad017e3f26/transcript

It was an absolute pleasure to sit down with Brisbane radio veteran Robin Bailey for a deeply honest and emotional conversation about the extraordinary highs and devastating lows of her life behind the microphone.

I first met Robin in the mid-90s at B105 - I was the overnight guy, she was a new breakfast producer. From there, she quickly cemented herself as a staple and a survivor of the brutal commercial radio industry. In Brisbane alone, she's worked across three commercial station, been sacked at least three times (and most recently re-hired after a month thanks to listener backlash).

But away from the microphone, Robin has endured a number of tragedies that many of us would struggle to come back from - and she's done it time and time again - all under the spotlight of her radio audience.

In this conversation, Robin shares the moments that shaped her career - and her life. She opens up about losing her former husband Tony to suicide, then another husband Sean to cancer, raising three sons through grief, navigating public scrutiny, and why authenticity became her greatest strength.

We also unpack memories of our radio careers, and how Robin would like to see the industry evolve, particularly for female presenters, producers and journalists.

This is a raw, powerful and ultimately hopeful conversation about survival, healing and choosing love in the face of pain.

And a note, this episode deals with suicide, mental health and grief. If you or someone you know need support, please see the resources below.

How Radio Star Robin Bailey Kept Going Through Unimaginable Grief - Twice

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/2fb3740d-3436-44af-8cc0-a91900716aa5/clips/f2e7ab38-e619-40f7-baa1-b45600550193/transcript

In this episode, you'll hear the true story of how I met — and nearly didn’t kiss — the woman who would become my wife. This was originally recorded live at Story Club at Sydney’s Factory Theatre, as part of a Valentine’s-themed show.

From terrifying encounters with a woman whose boyfriend worked for Kanye West, to a painfully unromantic first kiss involving vegan Tim Tams, it's a true story of love, vulnerability, and learning how to build a healthy relationship after years of chaos and self-destruction, plus some insights into storytelling, communication, and why true stories have the power to connect us in ways nothing else can.

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/2fb3740d-3436-44af-8cc0-a91900716aa5/clips/ebc78b4e-b5a8-43f1-8d79-b4550015a0a1/transcript

In this episode, trial lawyer and communication expert Jefferson Fisher explores the real art of communication — from difficult conversations and emotional regulation to ego, relationships and the hidden psychology behind how we speak to one another.

Drawing on his experience as a courtroom advocate and one of the internet’s most trusted voices on communication, Jefferson shares practical insights into staying calm under pressure, handling conflict without escalation, and learning how to truly listen. Together, Jefferson and I unpack why so many of us struggle with communication, how our upbringing shapes the way we argue and connect, and what happens when we replace human connection with screens and text messages.

We also cover the prevalence of public speaking anxiety, emotional intelligence, humility and the importance of curiosity over ego. Along the way, Jefferson offers simple but powerful tools for navigating heated moments, understanding what people really mean beneath their words, and becoming more intentional in the way we show up for others.

This insightful conversation is packed with useful advice you can use right now if you want stronger relationships, better conversations and a deeper understanding of what it means to truly connect as human beings.
