[Part 1 of 2] At fourteen years old, Christian Picciolini was lost, confused and looking for guidance. If he’d been approached by a footy coach or a skateboarder - he reckons he would have followed their lead. But instead, he was recruited by the leader of the notorious Chicago area skinheads, and found himself deeply entwined in a violent, racist and dangerous neo-nazi hate group.

Today, however, Christian spends every day of his life trying to undo the harm he caused, and to help other young people disengage from hate groups. So how did Christian go from being the lead propagandist for an extremist organisation to actively working to bring them down?

It’s a story you’ll have to hear to believe - and it’s a story that’s more important today than ever before.

"I Was A Neo-Nazi Skinhead" [Part One] How Christian Picciolini Was Radicalised

It’s been 18 months since Evelyn Jones burst onto our screens—fictional, yes, but her story couldn’t feel more real to the women who brought her to life.

In this special episode of No Filter, host Jessie Stephens—who is also a writer on the show and Mamamia’s Executive Editor—is joined by Mia Freedman, whose memoir Work, Strife, Balance inspired the hit Binge series Strife, along with Asher Keddie, who plays Evelyn, and executive producer Bruna Papandrea.

They reflect on Season 1, including Mia’s emotional spiral before the premiere, and give us a sneak peek at what’s to come in Season 2, dropping Thursday, May 8.

Together, these powerhouse creatives open up about what it means to be a woman in the media and entertainment industry today—the competition, the comparisons, the fear of cancellation, and the constant balancing act between public and private life.

And of course, they talk about ambition: what it costs, why it matters, and how the world still struggles when women dare to want more.

Season 2 of Strife premieres on Binge Thursday May 8th,.

The Women Behind "Strife": Asher, Mia, Bruna And Jessie

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/3ea926be-9be7-482a-8ac3-a44f016e43d1/clips/f54bec91-736c-46d8-8b6c-b2d40047f4bb/transcript

Georgia Love — and yes, that is her real name — has always had a lot of love to give.

Almost a decade ago, she stepped onto our screens as The Bachelorette, searching for just that: love. She found it, too, forming a relationship in the public eye that captured hearts around the country. But now, almost ten years on, that same relationship is ending — also in full view of the public.

Georgia is no stranger to loss — both the kind she has chosen to share with the world, and the kind she's fought fiercely to keep private.
In this conversation, you'll hear:
Georgia discuss losing her mum just days after her Bachelorette finale aired
The very public cancellation she endured that still stings...
Stepping away from her career, a heartbreaking friendship breakup, and the ways in which she's been changed by public scrutiny.
And, of course, her very recent separation from her husband, and how she's picking up the pieces.

Georgia has weathered more storms than most. Each time, she's picked herself up, rebuilt her life, and somehow stayed open-hearted. Resilient, vulnerable, and tougher than she often gets credit for, Georgia Love is a woman who has lived many lives in one.

You can follow Georgia Love here.

How fame impacted Melanie’s mental health
The deep bond she still shares with her Spice sisters

Mel C. Sporty Spice. Melanie Chisholm [Part 1]: What Being A Spice Girl Cost Her

Teresa Palmer is the ultimate working mum. From boldly walking into a talent agent’s office and declaring she’d be a mother first and an actor second, to negotiating flights and breastfeeding breaks into every project—she does it all on her terms.

Now pregnant with her sixth child, Teresa Palmer lives life with her heart on her sleeve—dreamer, doer, and total open book.

You might know her from The Mother Daze podcast, her acting roles, or her bestselling book The Zen Mama Guide to Finding Your Rhythm in Pregnancy, Birth, and Beyond, but in this chat, she’s all heart, humour, and raw honesty.

What you'll hear in this conversation:

- The ten-page letter she wrote to manifest her husband
-  Her new role in The Last Anniversary
- The wild ride of raising five kids across two countries
- The village of women who keep her sane
-  What motherhood has taught her about identity, creativity, and connection

Teresa is as real as they come. This one’s for anyone trying to do it all—and keep their heart intact while they’re at it.

Teresa Palmer And The 10 Page Letter That Changed Her Life

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/3ea926be-9be7-482a-8ac3-a44f016e43d1/clips/a48e0bd7-9628-49e1-b8eb-b2c0006e5b56/transcript

Jameela Jamil may as well be Aussie, she feels like one of us—funny, unfiltered, and refreshingly nonchalant.

You might know her as Tahani from The Good Place, but these days she’s just as well known for her fearless activism on body image, mental health, and gender equality.

What you'll hear in this conversation:
Why she refuses to give men like Andrew Tate airtime
Her call to rethink the way we talk about masculinity
The link between friendship and mental health
Why she’s counting down to turning 40
And how she’s learnt to appreciate aging, change, and letting go of the pressure to please. 

Jameela doesn’t hold back—and thank god. This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt like they didn’t quite fit the mold, who’s had a complicated relationship with their body or their mind, or who simply wants to hear a refreshingly honest take on what it means to be a woman right now

Jameela is currently touring the country, if you would like learn more and get tickets, follow the link here.

Jameela Jamil Knows How To Take Down Andrew Tate

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/3ea926be-9be7-482a-8ac3-a44f016e43d1/clips/8c97c74f-3544-45d3-b9ca-b2bf0155269f/transcript

Adam Kay knew exactly who he wanted to play him in the TV version of his life.

After spending years working in hospitals across the UK, mostly in obstetrics and gynaecology, Adam—completely burnt out—took a break. What was meant to be a short pause turned into 14 years and counting.

During his training in the labour wards, Adam kept a diary. Those diary entries would later become a best-selling book (This Is Going To Hurt, which sold over 5 million copies), and eventually a hit TV series starring Ben Whishaw as Adam.

In this candid, emotional, and at times hilarious conversation, Adam talks about:

– The human cost of being a doctor
– Why mental health support in medicine is so urgently needed
– What changes are essential—both in the UK and here in Australia
– And… the strangest things people have turned up to hospital with inside their bodies. 

This episode is a must-listen for anyone who’s ever been a patient, worked in healthcare, or simply wants to understand the real cost of caring.

If you'd like to see Adam Kay live in Australia, he's currently touring the country. You can look at his tour dates here.

The Doctor Who Turned His Diaries Into A Hit Show

This is an episode about an epic friendship between two women.

It transcends marriages, divorce, miscarriage and sex and ends in the most poignant, tragic, beautiful way.

When Molly was 41, she was given a life-changing diagnosis. And instead of living out the life she'd built with her husband, she left their 15-year marriage to go and have hot sex with strangers. Dozens of them.

And her friend Nikki... what was she to do? Judge her? Encourage her? Support her?

Well, they started a podcast together, called Dying For Sex. 

In this episode, Mia Freedman sits down with Nikki Boyer, actress and podcast host, to discuss her lifelong friendship with Molly, some hilarious sex stories and what happens when you lose your best friend.

The True Story Behind "Dying For Sex" [re-release]

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/3ea926be-9be7-482a-8ac3-a44f016e43d1/clips/a47b9ec7-e648-41ae-92f8-b2bb01811db5/transcript

Madeleine West has lived many lives— from Neighbours’ Dee Bliss to Underbelly’s Danielle McGuire, she’s been a fixture on Australian screens for decades.

Beyond acting, she’s also an advocate, a survivor, and now, at 47, she’s stepping into a surprising new chapter... motherhood for the seventh time.

What she first thought was menopause turned out to be an unexpected pregnancy, something that took time to embrace. But that’s not the only battle Madeleine has faced. Just a few years ago, she made the courageous decision to help police uncover a pedophile—the man who abused her as a child.

In this deeply personal and powerful conversation, Madeleine opens up about:
How she came to terms with becoming a mother again at 47
The media storm that forced her to announce her pregnancy before she was ready
The darkness she had to push through to become the woman she is today
The moment she wore a wire to confront her abuser

This is a story of survival, strength, and reclaiming your own narrative - no matter how impossible it may seem.

If you or anyone you know needs support, call Lifeline on 131 114 or Beyond Blue on 1300 224 636.
