There’s a good reason why breakfast TV hosts are among the biggest celebrities in the country. It’s an intimate and long-term relationship. Lisa Millar is the host of Australia’s most popular breakfast show, ABC News Breakfast. She’s a Walkley Award-winning journalist who has covered some of the biggest news stories in the world, including terrorist attacks, mass shootings, and natural disasters.  When you’re doing three hours of live TV every day, unexpected things happen and you have to react instantly. You need to improvise and think on your feet. You can’t hide who you are when you’re streaming live on air for 15 hours every week, for years. But being a TV star is very new to Lisa - in ways that are both wonderful and incredibly difficult, even painful. THE END BITS: With thanks to Lisa Millar Find her book Daring To Fly here. Feedback?

September 11 2001 is etched in the minds of people all over the world. It changed the way we lived and traveled, fundamentally. But, it also gave us the story of a little town in Canada that did some pretty extraordinary things in the face of terror. A story that has been turned into a musical called Come From Away. But before it was a Broadway smash, it was the story of Beverley Bass, American Airlines' first-ever female pilot. And on this 20th anniversary of September 11, Beverley joins me from Texas to share it... THE END BITS: With thanks to Beverley Bass Feedback? We’re listening!

There’s a good reason why Ben Crowe is Australia’s most in-demand professional mentor and leadership coach.   Before he started his own business, called MojoCrowe, Ben worked in the ‘Just Do It’ team - helping Nike’s athletes work out who they are outside the sport they were famous for. He’s worked with everyone from Ash Barty, to Dylan Alcott, Andre Agassi, to Stephanie Gilmore. He’s worked with special Ops Forces, teenagers, world champions, and world leaders. Ben’s all about helping people find a balance between confidence & happiness, and balancing achievement…with fulfillment. It feels like we have never needed a mindfulness coach more than we do right now during this crazy time. So what advice can Ben give us?

Everyone has intrusive thoughts. But if you live with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder? Well, it becomes something much more extreme. You get stuck on your thoughts, and you can’t move past them. And you play those thoughts on a loop, like a broken record. You’ve probably heard about OCD - although it’s widely misunderstood and misrepresented. But Relationship OCD is something you’ve probably never heard of. And it’s a type of mental ill-health that affects a surprising number of people. On this episode of No Filter, Penny Moodie speaks very candidly, and vulnerably, about her experience with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and Relationship OCD.

Tony Armstrong is the most talked-about new talent in the television industry right now. Everyone is talking about him. Every media company wanted to sign him. And if you don’t know who Tony is yet, you will soon. Tony is a proud Barranbinya man. He was raised by a single mum in Sydney’s West, and he started playing AFL at a young age. He made it all the way to the top. Sort of. He played for the Adelaide Crows, Sydney Swans and Collingwood, and after 7 years playing footy and only 35 games over that time, Tony walked away from AFL. He failed. And he’ll be the first person to tell you that.   THE END BITS: With thanks to Tony Armstrong. Feedback? We’re listening!

The story of Britney Spears is one we’re guessing you’re familiar with. Child star from a small town makes it big in the city, only to grow up in front of the cameras, turn into a pop icon and then breaks down from the pressure and becomes tabloid fodder.  So what actually happened to Britney Spears?  Pandora Sykes is a British journalist and the host of BBC4’s new audio documentary series, Pieces Of Britney. In this series, she pieces together what we know about her story, and what it tells us about sex, entertainment, and how we treat women in the public eye. And she joins Mia today to talk about it...

No matter how much you know or care about gymnastics, you couldn’t have escaped the story of Simone Biles during the Tokyo Olympics. Every four years, we watch these young women flipping and flying high in the air in their sparkly leotards, and we seem to forget about the expectations they have riding on their shoulders, and how incredibly dangerous what they do is. The sheer physicality of their sport is amazing, but it’s also a lot. And this is something that Australia’s Olivia Vivian knows all about.  She started in the sport when she was just eight years old. She represented Australia at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, and later became a household name on the hit show Ninja Warrior. On this episode of No Filter Olivia sits down with Mia to talk about what life as an elite gymnast is actually like… THE END BITS: With thanks to Olivia Vivian https://www.instagram.com/oliviavivian/?hl=en  The documentary Olivia was talking about is called Athlete A on Netflix GET IN TOUCH: Feedback?
