There Is No "I" In Threesome
Before exchanging “I do’s”, there was something important documentary-maker, Ollie Lucks and his fiancee Zoe felt they needed to do. Have sex with other people and film it. Using their iPhones, the pair recorded their six-month exploration of polyamorous love for the world to see in the HBO Max documentary, There Is No "I" In Threesome. Ollie chats to Mia about navigating polygamy, jealousy and making a documentary about it.

What Tanya Plibersek Wants Every Woman To Know
The past few weeks in Australia have been tumultuous...especially if you're a woman. Women are angry, we're sad and we want change. Tanya Plibersek MP is the Shadow Minister for Women and the Shadow Minister for Education and Training, and she has been crucial in the conversation about violence against women. Last week, she walked out of Parliament house to join the March4Justice, and the next day she delivered over 135,000 petitions calling on Prime Minister Scott Morrison to take action. Now, she talks to Mia about the culture in parliament and what she hopes the future will hold.

Why Daisy Turnbull Loves Taking A Risk
Resilience is one of the biggest self-development buzzwords. Everybody wants to be more resilient yet anxiety and depression in young children has hit an all time high. Daisy Turnbull knows this all too well. The author, mother of two, and director of wellbeing at St Catherine's School has researched different parenting styles extensively and one thing is clear. The rise of helicopter parents, who are protecting their kids from risk is leaving us with a bubble wrapped generation with stunted independence. So what can we do as parents? And what does it mean to be a good mother? She chats to Mia about parenting and the surprising link between risk-taking and resilience.

The Rebirth Of Ronni Kahn
18 years ago, Ronni Kahn's life looked very different. She was the owner of a successful events company and was in a relationship with a man who she thought was her second shot at love. But one conversation changed the direction of her life forever. Unable to turn a blind eye to the vast amounts of food she was throwing away at the end of each work day, Ronni began delivering the untouched food to homeless shelters around Sydney. It was the beginning of a journey that unlocked another side of Ronni, and founded OzHarvest. Today, Ronni leads hundreds of staff and thousands of volunteers with the goal to nourish Australia. She talks to Mia about how she got there.

Aminata Was Kidnapped When She Was 18
In 1999, Sierra Leone was in the midst of a brutal civil war. Citizens would wake up everyday and face relentless violence. Rebel soldiers would viciously amputate civilians and enslave women, raping them repeatedly during captivity. Aminata Conteh-Biger was one of those women. Snatched from her father’s arms when she was 18-years-olds, Aminata was held captive for months before her captors finally released her. But she still wasn't safe. She talks to Mia about hope, resilience and surviving some dark, dark places.

Chronic Illness: A Love Story
Broadcaster Jacinta Parsons was 22 when she started feeling unwell. The kind of unwell that….well, lingered. Some days she couldn’t get out of bed. Other days she couldn’t eat. But one thing remained the same, every day she woke up feeling like crap. And her Doctors? They had no answers. Since her early 20s, Jacinta has been living with an invisible illness.

An Intimate Conversation About Friendship
A reason, a season or a lifetime. They say friendships only fall into three categories, and these tend to be them. Mia Freedman and Bec Sparrow's friendship started for a reason. They met 10 years ago, bonding over the grief of the daughters they had both lost via miscarriage or stillbirth. And over the years, their friendship continued to grow. Through work, an interstate move, more children, another miscarriage, and the many ups and downs of life. But in 2020, like with a lot of friendships, Mia and Bec struggled. And on this episode of No Filter, they sit down for a very candid conversation about it all...

The Diary Of A Lap Dancer
Have you ever wondered what goes on in a strip club? How lap dances actually work? How the women who strip and dance for a living in these clubs feel about their customers and their own bodies? Today's guest is a woman by the name of Samantha C. Ross. But, if you ran into Samantha in a strip club up until about 5 years ago, you would've known her as Sunshine. That was her stripper name and the persona she took on every time she went to work. Now, Samantha has written a book about her time as a lap dancer, and she sat down with Mia to talk about it.

BONUS: Rick Morton Was Born Into Rural Royalty. Suddenly, He Was Dirt Poor
We're dropping into your feed to reshare a special episode of No Filter with you. Earlier this week on No Filter you heard from Rick Morton, all about money. Well, if you’d like to hear more about Rick’s back story, here’s a chat Mia had with him a few years ago about his remarkable life… Rick Morton was born the son of a cattle baron in far western Queensland. His backyard consisted of hundreds of thousands of acres. He went to school by school of the air. And his family home was 500kms from the nearest town. But in just 24 hours, Rick’s life went from being something of an idyllic outback childhood to poverty. So how do you go from rural royalty to dirt poor? What’s it like growing up gay and closeted in a small town? Rick has written a book about his life called 100 Years Of Dirt and he joins his old boss, Mia, to talk about it...

Rick Morton On Growing Up Poor
Rick Morton is a journalist and author. He’s also learnt to memorise phone numbers. Specifically ones from debt collectors. Because up until recently, Rick was very bad with money. So bad, that he used to borrow from everyone around him. Rick was born the son of a Cattle baron in Central Queensland. But he grew up dirt poor in housing commission, and he’s spent his life overspending the money he has. His new book On Money examines the meaning of money to him and others, and looks into how society often views money as a substitute for morality. This is Rick's story. THE END BITS: You can check out Rick's book On Money here - https://booktopia.kh4ffx.net/1m6Jz. And his memoir One Hundred Years Of Dirt - https://booktopia.kh4ffx.net/QZqZM. GET IN TOUCH: Feedback?
