The Doctor Who Turned His Diaries Into A Hit Show
Adam Kay knew exactly who he wanted to play him in the TV version of his life. After spending years working in hospitals across the UK, mostly in obstetrics and gynaecology, Adam—completely burnt out—took a break. What was meant to be a short pause turned into 14 years and counting. During his training in the labour wards, Adam kept a diary. Those diary entries would later become a best-selling book (This Is Going To Hurt, which sold over 5 million copies), and eventually a hit TV series starring Ben Whishaw as Adam. In this candid, emotional, and at times hilarious conversation, Adam talks about: – The human cost of being a doctor– Why mental health support in medicine is so urgently needed– What changes are essential—both in the UK and here in Australia– And… the strangest things people have turned up to hospital with inside their bodies. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who’s ever been a patient, worked in healthcare, or simply wants to understand the real cost of caring. If you'd like to see Adam Kay live in Australia, he's currently touring the country. You can look at his tour dates here.

Madeleine West has lived many lives— from Neighbours’ Dee Bliss to Underbelly’s Danielle McGuire, she’s been a fixture on Australian screens for decades. Beyond acting, she’s also an advocate, a survivor, and now, at 47, she’s stepping into a surprising new chapter... motherhood for the seventh time.

In this deeply personal and powerful conversation, Madeleine opens up about: How she came to terms with becoming a mother again at 47 The media storm that forced her to announce her pregnancy before she was ready The darkness she had to push through to become the woman she is today The moment she wore a wire to confront her abuser This is a story of survival, strength, and reclaiming your own narrative - no matter how impossible it may seem.

Riley Hemson And The Price Of Being Online
Self-Worth, Social Media & Loving The Skin You're In. Like most young girls growing up in a media-driven world, there comes a moment when you realise your body is being compared to others. For today’s guest, Riley Hemson, that moment came at just 10 years old—when she first believed that her worth was entirely tied to how her body looked.

What You’ll Hear: - Riley’s journey from paramedicine to social media influence- How sharing her life online helped her find confidence- The impact of body image struggles from a young age- Her experience launching Remmie by Riley and becoming a L’Oréal Paris ambassador- The power of embracing your worth—online and offline This episode is a must-listen for anyone struggling with self-doubt, body image, or the pressures of social media.
