On this week’s episode of No Filter, Candice Fox joins Holly Wainwright for a conversation that goes beyond crime fiction and into the reality behind it.

Candice is one of Australia’s most successful crime writers, with more than 20 books and collaborations with James Patterson. But her understanding of crime didn’t start on the page. She grew up surrounded by chaos; foster children, real-life stories, and a world where darkness was never far away.

In this episode, she shares the moment that changed everything: coming face-to-face with a serial killer on death row, and what it revealed about fear, instinct, and human behaviour.

She also explores why so many women are drawn to true crime — and what we’re really trying to understand when we listen.

And then, the story she couldn’t let go of. A real-life cold case that stayed with her for decades, and became the foundation for her latest novel - a way of grappling with grief, justice, and the limits of storytelling.

Redbelly Crossing by Candice Fox is out now.

Natalie Bassingthwaighte has spent decades building a life in the public eye, but in recent years, everything changed.

In this episode, she shares the moment that shifted her world, the quiet but undeniable turning point that led to the end of her marriage and a complete rethinking of who she is.

She speaks openly about the confusion of that time, the impact on her family, and the courage it took to step into something new. Now engaged to her partner Pip Loth, Natalie reflects on finding love in a way she never expected and what it means to live more truthfully.

Love Like This: A Memoir by Natalie Bassingthwaighte (Hardie Grant Publishing) is out now.

Natalie Bassingthwaighte: “The Night That Ended My Marriage”

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/3ea926be-9be7-482a-8ac3-a44f016e43d1/clips/3a62b956-20be-4140-b2a8-b41600549ef4/transcript

For most of her childhood, Chloé Hayden felt like she didn’t belong.

She was bullied at school, moved through ten different schools and struggled to exist in environments that didn’t understand her. When she was diagnosed as autistic at thirteen, there were almost no conversations about neurodivergence and no one she could look to who felt like her.

Today, she has become that person for millions of others.

Through her role as Quinni in Netflix’s Heartbreak High and her advocacy online, Chloé has become one of the most visible autistic women in the world.

But becoming a voice for others comes with its own cost.

In this conversation with Kate Langbroek, Chloé opens up about the pressure of representation, the emotional toll of advocacy and what it means to build a life that belongs to her, not just the movement she helped create.

Heartbreak High Season 3 premieres globally on March 25, 2026 on Netflix.
