Something to Talk About podcast: Liesel Jones on body shaming at the Olympics

With nine Olympic medals and 14 individual world records to her name, Leisel Jones is one of Australia’s all-time greats.

With nine Olympic medals and 14 individual world records to her name, Leisel Jones is one of Australia’s all-time greats. 

But her time as a professional athlete wasn’t all podiums and accolades - it was also full of intense media scrutiny, body shaming, self-doubt, a public lashing from swim legend Dawn Fraser and a pressure to perform that was so intense she now says it left her feeling “almost brainwashed”. 

Twelve years after hanging up her swimsuit for the last time, Leisel admits she isn’t sure whether she’s fully processed that period of her life – or has quite figured out her post-swim identity. 

But she has since embarked on a career in radio, a platform that has given her an opportunity to talk freely about everyday life, including revealing on air late last year that she and her husband have separated. As Leisel tells host Sarrah Le Marquand about going public with her divorce: “Imagine if someone saw that I was on Bumble and they were like, ‘Hang on, aren’t you married?’”

Listen to The Rush Hour with Leisel Jones, Liam & Dobbo weekdays from 4-6pm on Triple M Brisbane.

Something To Talk About podcast: Zoe Marshall on domestic violence, manifestation and the NRL

Almost 20 years ago, writer and media personality Zoe Marshall went through such a deeply traumatic series of experiences that she considered ending her own life.

Almost 20 years ago, writer and media personality Zoe Marshall went through such a deeply traumatic series of experiences – the death of her mother, a family rift and a physically and psychologically abusive relationship – that she considered ending her own life. 

But then, she leaned into manifestation, or as she calls it, co-creation - and her life took a turn that was almost impossible to believe. In 2024, Zoe has several successful businesses under her belt. She’s happily married to former NRL player and now coach Benji Marshall, the mother of two beautiful children, and she’s on the brink of a new chapter. 

On this episode of Something To Talk About, Zoe is very candid about what she calls her “rock bottom”, addressed the intense speculation that has surrounded her husband’s strict boundaries between his work and his role as a father and husband and she spoke to Australia’s ongoing domestic violence crisis, as a victim survivor herself.

If you have experienced or are at risk of family violence, you can call the national counselling service1800RESPECT.
