The morning workout that got Laura Henshaw pregnant
This week on Something To Talk About, Laura Henshaw joins Sarrah Le Marquand for a powerful and deeply personal conversation, as she celebrates and talks about her just-announced pregnancy. It was, as Laura says, “a complete shock” that came after a year of questioning whether motherhood was even right for her. Today, Laura reflects on the fears she worked through as she grappled with whether becoming a parent would mean losing her sense of identity, the emotional moment she shared the news with her business partner Steph Claire Smith, and the unsolicited commentary she’s received about her body along the way. Plus, Laura speaks out on the rise of “manosphere” content online and why she felt compelled to challenge a podcaster who she believes was promoting outdated gender roles – a decision that would take her viral and spark a national conversation. Laura also discusses her new KicPod miniseries Am I Equal?, which explores the importance of informed conversations about finances, power, and partnership in modern relationships.

Abbie Chatfield doesn’t care what you think
Being investigated by the Australian Electoral Commission was not on Abbie Chatfield’s bingo card for 2025. But after interviewing Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and then Greens leader Adam Bandt on her podcast It’s A Lot, Abbie found herself at the centre of several conversations about the recent federal election campaign. In fact, some days it seemed there were more headlines written about Abbie than there were about Anthony Albanese or Peter Dutton. Today, Abbie sits down with Sarrah in the Something To Talk About studio to unpack her decision to speak out about politics – and the double standards at play when it’s a young, famous woman who dares to do so. She also talks about life and love as she prepares to turn 30, what it’s like to be in the middle of a very public feud, and whether or not we might see her mum on The Golden Bachelor… You can hear more from Abbie Chatfield on It’s A Lot, wherever you get your podcasts.

Sarah Roberts is having good sex on (and off) screen
Sarah Roberts has been through more than most people in the last five years. The actor and DJ lost her brother in 2019, grappled with infertility and pregnancy loss and last year, ended her marriage to her former Home And Away co-star James Stewart. But Sarah believes that when she turned 40 last December, she finally turned a corner. In this exclusive conversation, Sarah joins us in the Something To Talk About studio to discuss what her life looks like now, reveal that she has found love again, and discuss how appearing in Make It Look Real, a new documentary about the rise of intimacy coordinators on film and television sets, taught her how to finally set boundaries — and in the process, changed her life for the better.

Are we about to find out what happened to William Tyrrell?
The disappearance of three-year-old William Tyrrell - the little boy in the Spider-Man suit who vanished from his foster grandmother’s garden - is a case that shocked the nation, destroyed lives and ended careers. More than 10 years later, we still don’t have answers. Award-winning journalists Dan Box and Nina Young have been covering the story since William first went missing in September 2014. Late last year, they released the investigative podcast Witness: William Tyrrell, which went straight to the top of the charts and has since had millions of downloads. Now, after months of research, being back on the road and speaking to people involved in the case, four new episodes are about to be released revealing shocking information that’s never been heard before. In this episode of Something To Talk About, Dan and Nina join Sarrah in the studio to share the reality of what it was like to create the series, the personal toll of investigating true crime - and what they’ve uncovered along the way. Listen to the four new episodes of Witness: William Tyrrell, out this week. Watch the full episode with Dan Box and Nina Young here.
