Serena and Venus. Pippa and Kate. And perhaps the Kardashians, sort of…we prefer the Campbell sisters. Between them Cate and Bronte Campbell have won 64 International Swimming medals including 11 Olympic, 23 World Championships titles and 16 Commonwealth games medals.

They are the first Australian sisters ever to compete within the same swimming event at an Olympics and are both current World Record holders in the 4x 00m freestyle relay.

Now they’ve towelled down and extended their success out of the pool, by writing a new book together, called Sister Secrets.

Something To Talk About: Amber Petty on violence against women

Although her public persona may have first come about because of a royal wedding, Amber tells Something To Talk About that she does not believe in fairytales.

Amber Petty was first catapulted into the spotlight in the most unusual of circumstances, by standing alongside her best friend, Mary Donaldson, at her wedding to the Crown Prince of Denmark in 2004. 

Becoming known as the “royal bridesmaid”, Amber Petty has experienced many highs and lows during her career in the radio and media in the 20 years since.

Today, she is using her public platform to speak up about something very difficult - but also very important. And that is a reminder of how the much needed and long overdue national conversation currently taking place in Australia regarding violence against women can inadvertently cause re-traumatization among victim-survivors.

As a victim-survivor of domestic violence within two past relationships, Amber sits down with host Sarrah Le Marquand to not only share her own harrowing story, but to speak up for the many women around the country who may be secretly struggling with trauma of their own. 

Although her public persona may have first come about because of a royal wedding, Amber tells Something To Talk About that she does not believe in fairytales.

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

You can find out more from Amber Petty, including purchase details for her book, via her Instagram handle @missamberpetty.

Something To Talk About podcast: Kate Langbroek speaks about her anxiety

Host Sarrah Le Marquand asks Kate about the “glamour gap”, her secret "shadow labour" and using her witching powers for good.

It’s been five years since Kate Langbroek and her husband and four children packed up to move to Italy – a decision that to this day has people stopping her in the street to discuss. 

Now firmly entrenched back into the reality of life back in Australia, we decided it was time to sit down with the always entertaining - and always unpredictable - Kate to shamelessly pick her brains for an update on the whole work/life/family ratio in mid 2024. 

Apart from her thoughts on ‘shadow labour’, and the often thankless work performed by many across the country, day in and day out, host Sarrah Le Marquand asks Kate about the “glamour gap” that exists between male and female television presenters when it comes to the VERY large difference in time spent in hair and make-up. 

So, given Kate describes herself as “a lazy dresser” - as she says, even her boots have to have zips as she can’t be bothered doing up laces - would the “glamour gap” be a dealbreaker if she were to be offered the TV job of her dreams?

Kate also chats about her apparent witching powers, and opens up experiencing anxiety for the first time in her life, and how her husband’s response unexpectedly inspired her latest project.

You can hear Kate Langbroek on a new episode of the The Buck Up every Tuesday on the iheartradio app, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Media personality Brooke Blurton approaches Mother’s Day with conflicted emotions, having lost her mother when she was just 11.

Today’s episode of Something To Talk About is released on the eve of Mother’s Day – an occasion that for some, is a day of celebration, yet for others is a reminder of grief and isolation.

Joining host Sarrah Le Marquand for this special episode, Brooke reflects on grief; celebrating the legacies of her mother and her grandmother; taking on the role of matriarch within her family - and how seeing her mum’s life cut short at only 34 has instilled a sense of urgency in her to experience and achieve as much as she can.

She also reveals the family tradition that will see Brooke honour her mother’s memory in a very beautiful way if she has a daughter of her own one day…
