In conversation with Nicole Kidman

In a wide-ranging interview, Nicole Kidman joins Something To Talk About for a candid conversation that covers everything from the highs and lows of her four-decade career as an actor and increasingly also a producer, her commitment to championing fellow female talent, the secret to her marriage of 17 years to Keith Urban, her maternal pride in the “Aussie swagger” of the couple's two daughters — and how she struggles to keep up with modern technology and has to enlist the help of her teenage daughter when trying to turn on the TV when she checks into a hotel room.

Something To Talk About Podcast: Brooke Blurton on her mother's death

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. 

Media personality, author and youth worker Brooke Blurton is one who approaches Mother’s Day with conflicted emotions, having lost her mother when she was just 11. 

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…

Brooke Blurton co-hosts First Things First alongside Matty Mills, which you can listen to here. You can also find more from her via @brooke.blurton on Instagram.

Something To Talk About podcast: Em Rusciano on ADHD, autism and life in the spotlight

Today’s episode veers from the emotional to the insightful to the hilarious, as Em speaks to host Sarrah Le Marquand to take us inside the past few years of her life.

Em Rusciano has never been one to hold back, but despite having built a career on being refreshingly honest, her decision to go public at a National Press Club address about being diagnosed with ADHD at age 42, and autism a year later, took her into completely unchartered territory. 

Now, three years on from her diagnoses, Em is embarking on her most personal project yet, a new podcast series she describes as a “love letter to the neurodivergent community and a roadmap for neurotypical people.” 

As you’d expect from a conversation with Em Rusciano, today’s episode covers a lot of ground - and veers from the emotional to the insightful to the hilarious - as Em speaks to host Sarrah Le Marquand to take us inside the past few years of her life, a volatile time she describes as “scorched earth”.

She gives a very-real-and-very-sweet glimpse inside her family life as the mother of three neurodivergent children, reveals whether we will ever see her run for politics, and explains how menopause will be making its presence felt when she takes to the stage for a national comedy tour later this year. 

She also has the perfect answer for those who question if the increasing diagnosis in ADHD among adult women is simply just a “fad”. And she opens up about how being publicly accused of faking her autism diagnosis last year was her worst fear and sent her to ground - only to see her come back with a stronger sense of purpose than ever before. 

You can watch Em Rusciano’s National Press Club address here.

Anomalous was produced by MIKin conjunction with Down the Hill studiosand will be available from May 6, wherever you get your podcasts. You can get more from Em on her Instagram, where you'll find more information on her upcoming tour.

Something To Talk About podcast: Kyle and Jackie O on feminism and controversy

Kyle Sandilands and Jackie "O"  sit down on the other side of the microphone to join host Sarrah Le Marquand for a no-holds-barred conversation.

For 23 years, Kyle Sandilands and Jackie “O” Henderson have dominated radio airwaves in Sydney, and having appeared on various TV shows over the years, have become one of Australia’s most well-known double acts.

But despite their infamy, they very rarely do interviews together - and yet for today’s episode of Something To Talk About they agreed to sit down on the other side of the microphone to join host Sarrah Le Marquand for a no-holds-barred conversation that veers from the outrageous to the hilarious, and from the emotional to the unexpected. 

On the eve of their show’s much talked about and risky expansion into Melbourne, they open up about what makes their relationship tick - both on and off air, whether they have any regrets over the controversies they have weathered over the years, and how they feel about being in very different chapters of their lives, with Kyle settled down as a happily married father just as a Jackie is hitting her stride as one of the most sought after single women in the country. 

And, in one of the many surprising moments in the conversation, they both ponder an unlikely question: is Kyle Sandilands actually a feminist?

The Kyle & Jackie O Show airs from 6am weekdays on KIIS 1065 Sydney and KIIS 101.1 Melbourne. You can also listen via the iHeart app or wherever you get your podcasts.
