The past three years of James Packer’s life have not been easy.

In October 2016, the 51-year-old businessman ended his very public engagement to singer Mariah Carey. He’s also battled with an addiction to alcohol. And In March of this year, he resigned from the board of his company Crown, citing mental health reasons.

James has spent his entire life in the spotlight but he’s always remained intensely private. Until now.

James has cooperated on a biography of his life with journalist Damon Kitney, and Damon joins Mia to discuss it...

The Untold Story Of Being James Packer

Cait West was raised inside an fundamentalist Christian patriarchal cult that believed that women should be submissive to men and that girls should be raised to serve their husbands…by first serving their fathers. Until she was 25 years old, Cait was what is referred to as a ‘stay-at-home daughter’ - what exactly does that mean? And how did Cait decide to finally leave? Listen to this timely, important, and deeply empowering conversation to hear Cait’s incredible story - Only on No Filter.

You can follow Cait on Instagram here.

You can read Cait’s work & find her book “Rift” here.

Cait West Was A Stay At Home Daughter… And Then She Escaped

[Part 1 of 2] Having one baby is hard. Imagine four! This is the incredible story of Taylah Tudehope-Glachan’s pregnancy and birth with her quadruplets.

In Part 1 of Taylah’s tale, she details a roller-coaster fertility struggle; think PCOS, endometriosis and IVF.

Plus what it was like discovering her successful transfer had resulted in four babies.

You’ll hear about high-risk pregnancy, exactly HOW she fell pregnant with quads, and how she handled her hospitalisation at 24 weeks

Can’t wait for part two? You don’t need to! Listen to part two of Taylah’s story here.

If you’re a soon-to-be mum of multiples, the Australian Multiple Birth Association is a wonderful resource.

The Mum Who Birthed Four Babies At Once (Part 1): A Quad Pregnancy

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/3ea926be-9be7-482a-8ac3-a44f016e43d1/clips/ddb16ce6-d0b9-416d-a4d2-b2370034b0f9/transcript

Samantha Azzopardi spent 10 years receiving care as a troubled teen. It would be years before the truth came out that she was actually an adult woman. 

Her scams stretched decades and impacted families, friends and even children, in Australia and abroad. But it wasn’t money that she wanted…   

In this conversation, Mia speaks with investigative journalist Sharon Davis, co-host of the successful podcast Finding Samantha. Sharon worked with colleagues Tim Desmond, Nicoline Greer and Liam O'Brien from RTE in Ireland, tracking Samantha's crimes. What she didn’t expect was the way her own life would become entangled in this story. 

Listen to part two of Mia and Sharon's conversation here.
