You’re Gonna Want To Hear This

Introducing "You're Gonna Want to Hear This"

On this week’s episode of Marie Claire’s You’re Gonna Want To Hear This, editor Georgie McCourt sits down with one of Australia’s most recognisable women - and hears her in a way we never have before. This is a show where fun and frankness is always in style. 

Fresh from her milestone 50th birthday and as the cover star of Marie Claire’s January issue, Megan Gale reflects on a life lived largely in public - and the private decisions she has fiercely protected along the way.

In a candid, deeply personal conversation, Megan opens up about what fame really feels like from the inside, the scrutiny and comparison that shaped her early self esteem, and why learning to care less about other people’s opinions has been one of the greatest gifts of ageing.

She revisits the 18-year-old who arrived in Sydney with big dreams, the Italian chapter that changed everything, and the surreal experience of walking runways alongside Naomi Campbell - before turning to where she’s landed now: clearer, calmer and more grounded than ever.

Then comes the revelation she has chosen to share exclusively with Marie Claire: Megan quietly married her partner Shaun Hampson in an intimate overseas ceremony - and kept it private for an entire year.

In the episode, Megan shares the details behind the decision, including:

Why she and Shaun chose to marry in Fiji at a place deeply meaningful to their family

How they planned an intimate ceremony with just their children and mothers present

The moment they told their families the night before the wedding

Why keeping the day private mattered after decades in the public eye

The joy of watching their children take part and why that made the ceremony feel complete

Megan also reflects on love, long-term partnership, motherhood, boundaries, perimenopause and communication, and why marriage didn’t need to change what already worked.

Warm, honest and powerful, this episode is a rare insight into the woman behind the icon.

Megan Gale Got Married a Year Ago - in Secret. She’s Ready to Talk.

Content warning: This episode contains mature and confronting themes, including domestic and family violence, coercive control, and online abuse. Listener discretion is advised. Support links are listed below.

We’re releasing this episode now because while the holidays are meant to be joyful, they are consistently one of the most dangerous times of year for domestic and family violence. These conversations matter most when they’re hardest to have which is why this isn't another polite panel on "women's issues".

Today's episode is a forensic, unflinching examination of coercive control, the Amber Heard trial, Julian Assange, and the ways legal systems, media, and online culture are increasingly weaponised against women.In this episode of You’re Going to Want to Hear This, journalist Jess Hill and human rights lawyer Jennifer Robinson come together for what can only be described as a dark feminist legal thriller - grounded in evidence, lived experience, and hard truth.Jess and Jennifer dismantle the tired “he said/she lied” narrative, interrogate the misogyny unleashed during the Amber Heard trial, and expose how defamation law, PR machines, bots, and online abuse are used to silence survivors - both globally and here in Australia.The insights are confronting.

“If we literally arrested every man engaging in domestic violence, we wouldn’t have the prison space - a criminal justice response is never going to be enough,” Jess says, as the conversation explores how coercive control laws, consent education, and culture collide.Jennifer explains why representing Julian Assange was less dangerous online than standing beside Amber Heard:
“I didn’t face the same kind of online threats representing Julian as I did representing a woman who spoke out about her abuse.”The episode also goes deep on:
The Julian Assange press freedom case
The UK judgment that found Amber Heard a victim of domestic and sexual violence
How defamation law and domestic violence now intersect in Australia to keep survivors quiet

“Neither Johnny nor Amber will ever see what you wrote on social media,” Jennifer warns.
“But the women in your life who’ve never spoken about their abuse will - and that’s who you’re really talking to.”This episode is for you if you’ve ever searched “what is coercive control?”, looked up violence against women statistics in Australia, or wondered why survivors are tried twice - once in court, and once online.Thank you for listening

Jennifer Robinson and Jess Hill: The Backlash Against Survivors Is The Real Story. 

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/fa326977-3de5-4283-9b8b-af3500c58607/clips/4eef9a7f-3540-4c20-a313-b3b7000f06d2/transcript

In this week’s episode of You’re Gonna Want To Hear This, marie claire editor Georgie McCourt sits down with beauty entrepreneur, author and Trinny London founder Trinny Woodall for one of the most candid and compelling conversations of the season.

At 60, Trinny says she feels “fucking amazing” - but getting here required reinvention, resilience and a willingness to dismantle everything she thought she needed. She opens up about selling her beloved Notting Hill home to fund Trinny London, parenting her daughter as a single mother, and the loneliness that shaped her as a young girl and still shadows her today.

Trinny reflects on the myths and pressures around “ageing gracefully”, why she believes visibility matters more than ever for women, and the beauty rules that actually make a difference - including the skincare approach that changed her life after years of battling acne.

Trinny and Georgie dive into:
What ageing in her 60s really feels like
Why she believes “ageing gracefully” is often code for becoming invisible
The moment she realised she had to sell everything to build her business
Navigating motherhood, grief and single parenting
The skincare non-negotiables she wishes every woman knew
Why failure taught her more than success ever could
What she hopes every woman takes into her next decade

This is Trinny at her most open, funny, unfiltered and deeply wise - a reminder that reinvention doesn’t have an expiry date, and confidence can be learned at any age.
