Want more of Sophie? Listen to Mia’s bonus episode with her here about sex, marriage & expanding her family.

Conversations, really, about vulnerability. In this episode of No Filter, Ryan tells Mia about the books and conversations that changed his life, and what happened when he decided to confront his best mate, Hamish Blake, about the feeling he was most ashamed of...

For anyone who may have missed it, the defining feud of this season of Married, At First Sight, has unfolded between two women named Olivia and Domenica. You may have no idea who these women are, or you may have some very strong, most likely negative, feelings towards one of those women in particular. Her name is Olivia Frazer and she’s our guest today. Our episode is not about picking a side or wading through the minutiae of what happened on the show. No Filter is a candid podcast about vulnerability and our interview today focusses on the cost of being a reality TV villain and what it feels like when an entire country turns against you.

Want more of Kylie? Listen to Mia’s bonus episode with her here. On the 12th of September, 2018, Australian Academic Kylie Moore-Gilbert was arrested at Tehran’s International Airport in Iran. She spent 804 days incarcerated in Tehran’s Evin and Qarchak prison for espionage, a crime she never committed. She was an innocent Australian stuck in a foreign prison...with no way of getting home.
