Brent Draper has a comeback story straight out of a movie. He made headlines when he dropped out of Masterchef in 2021, sharing his mental health struggles as being the reason he had to quit the show. In 2023, Brent came back to the Masterchef kitchen and took home the coveted gold plate. Brent and wife Shonleigh join Cam and Ali to chat about how they support each other, how their lives have changed since the win, and their next project... baby number 2!

Separate Bathrooms

Brent Draper Couldn't Have won Masterchef Without Shon

Today, Cam and Ali are joined in the bathroom by raise.org founder Vicki Condon AM and chairman Leon Condon. 

The couples talk about the loss that led Vicki to start Raise, the lessons they've taken from running the charity into their partnership, the three levels of communication in a relationship, and Leon's realisation that everyday transactional communication had replaced deep emotional intimacy between them.

Teenagers Need Adults in Their Lives (That Aren't Their Parents)

In today’s episode of Separate Bathrooms, Cam and Ali are shifting focus from romantic to platonic love. For the first time, it’s a friendship taking centre stage, not a romance!

Join The Age and SMH lifestyle editor and author of Just Friends: On the Joy, Power and Influence of Friendship, Gyan Yankovich, along with her friend, author and returning guest, Gina Rushton, for an insightful exploration of friendship.

Listen as they share their own friendship 'love story,' and discuss the lack of language and milestones for friendships compared to romantic relationships. They also chat friendship breakups and breakdowns, male vs. female friendships, and how life can be richer when romantic relationships aren’t the main focus.

Should There Be a ‘Marriage’ Equivalent for Friends?

Writer Kerri Sackville and her partner Mike join Cam and Ali in the bathroom today — learn why we'll be inspecting the toothpaste tube once they leave!

In her books, and as a columnist for the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age, Kerri has documented her journey through marriage, divorce and years of dating in mid-life. Her most recent book The Secret Life of You: How a bit of alone time can change your life, relationships, and maybe the world is about embracing solitude. But in learning to be content by herself, Kerri also found love.

There's much to learn from Kerri and Mike's unconventional love story. Listen as they discuss dating in mid-life, the distinction between loneliness and solitude, why being single is better than being with the wrong person, and Kerri's quirky method of cutting bread.
