Something To Talk About podcast: Edwina Bartholomew on her sleep divorce and mothers' guilt

Edwina gets real about her unapologetic approach to both motherhood and marriage.

She gets up at 3 a.m. for work, is raising two children under age five and is building a side hustle as a property developer and renovator. 

So it is little wonder that Sunrise news presenter Edwina Bartholomew can’t be bothered by those who question her life choices - whether that’s arriving at the studio in dirty clothes or living in separate houses from her husband during the work week. 

In a chat that is both frank and funny, Edwina gets real about her unapologetic approach to both motherhood and marriage. She also opens up about the friendships she has forged with women working at rival TV networks, and explains why - having turned 40 in the last year - she is putting a new priority on her health. 

Edwina Bartholomew is an ambassador for the 2024 Witchery White Shirt Campaign. To support the cause, buy a White Shirt from Witchery between now and World Ovarian Cancer Day on 8 May online via witchery.com.au

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.

Something To Talk About podcast: Bianca Dye on dating in her fifties

Bianca joined host Sarrah Le Marquand in the Something To Talk About studio for a frank and funny conversation.

Former radio host Bianca Dye is no stranger to tackling taboos and staring down stigma - after all, she’s been doing it since back when feminism was a dirty word, particularly in the then-male-dominated world of radio. 

But her new era - a chapter of her life she describes as Fifty, Sacked and Single - is seeing her having to stare down even more stereotypes as she navigates mental health, unemployment and the dating pool as a woman in her 50s. 

There was never a dull moment when Bianca joined host Sarrah Le Marquand in the Something To Talk About studio for a frank and funny conversation about her forays into the online search for romance, why “ghosting is for cowards”, the joy she finds in seeing a new generation of young women be unapologetically outspoken - and what happened when she recently sent a seven-minute voice message to a man ahead of their first date. 

Find out more about Bianca being ‘Fifty, Sacked and Single' on her Instagram accounts @biancadye and @anxietyfree
