Something To Talk About podcast: Zoë Foster Blake on her successful beauty brand Go To

Zoë joins Sarrah in the Something To Talk About studio to discuss the cost-benefit juggle of multiple ventures and how going into business “knowing nothing” turned out to be everything.

With 17 books to her name, a cult beauty brand she sold for big bucks and bought back for a steal - not to mention a household featuring two children, a Gold Logie-winning husband, and a couple of Instagram-famous cats - the life of Zoë Foster Blake is not exactly calm. 

Zoë joins Sarrah in the Something To Talk About studio to discuss the cost-benefit juggle of multiple ventures, how going into business “knowing nothing” turned out to be everything, the reality (and importance) of failure behind the public success - and to take us inside her first adult novel in a decade, Things Will Calm Down Soon. 

You can purchase Zoë Foster Blake’s new book Things Will Calm Down Soon through Atlantic Books Australia on October 1st 2024.

Something To Talk About podcast: Tim Minchin reveals 9 life lessons for 2024

Tim Minchin joins Sarrah Le Marquand to discuss luck, micro-ambition, the poison of social media, compassion and infidelity.

Eleven years ago, Tim Minchin gave a speech that went viral. The Matilda The Musical composer, who was being awarded an honorary doctorate at The University of Western Australia, shared his nine life lessons with the graduating class – and to say it struck a chord with the world is to put it mildly. It has since clocked more than five million views. 

Now he’s turned that speech into a book called You Don't Have To Have A Dream. He joins Sarrah Le Marquand in the studio to discuss luck, micro-ambition, the poison of social media, compassion and infidelity. It gets a bit philosophical, but the thing about Tim is, he bares his soul in everything he does. And this conversation proved to be no different…

You Don't Have To Have A Dream by Tim Minchin (Penguin, $36.99) is out September 10, and available for pre-order now.

Something To Talk About is a podcast by Stellar, hosted by editor-in-chief Sarrah Le Marquand.
