How Sally Hepworth Survived Her Divorce
Sally Hepworth is one of Australia’s most successful and best-loved authors. Her novels are regularly top bestseller lists around the world. She’s known for writing darkly funny, page-turning stories about marriage, motherhood, secrets and betrayal. But in this episode of No Filter, Sally shares her own story — and it’s as layered and compelling as one of her books. Sitting down with Kate Langbroek, Sally talks candidly about ending her 20-year marriage, co-parenting with her ex, and why she no longer believes marriage is a good deal for women. She also explains why she’ll never live with a man again, how her family reacted to her decision, and why, despite the heartbreak, this next chapter might just be her happiest yet. Mad Mabel by Sally Hepworth is out October 14 and The Family Next Door premieres on Sunday 10 August at 8pm on ABC TV, with all episodes available to stream on ABC iview.

Osher Günsberg On What Happens When TV Fame Ends
Osher Günsberg has been one of the most recognisable people on Australian television. The face of The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, The Masked Singer, and Australian Idol, he’s been in our living rooms for over two decades. But TV has changed. The work slowed.

In this episode of No Filter, Osher sits down with Kate Langbroek for a raw and revealing conversation about what happens when the cameras stop rolling. He opens up about the financial strain of losing multiple prime-time jobs, the reality of hustling for gigs to make ends meet, and the ego hit that comes with watching an industry move on without you. Osher also speaks openly about his ongoing mental health journey and the therapy that’s helped him survive some of his darkest moments. You can follow Osher and find his book, So What?

Why You Immediately Need To Know The Name CJ Hendry
CJ Hendry is one of the world’s most successful working artists. But she didn’t go to art school. She didn’t have a plan. And for a long time, she didn’t even call herself an artist. She was a uni dropout working in retail, with a side obsession for beautiful things. One day she sold her entire wardrobe on eBay, bought some pencils and paper, and started to draw. She shared her work online. Then Kanye West bought one of her pieces. And everything changed. In this conversation, CJ tells Kate Langbroek how she built a global art business from scratch, without a gallery, a degree, or any of the traditional paths artists are expected to follow. She talks about the moment the Andy Warhol Foundation threatened to sue her, and how she turned it into an international scavenger hunt. She opens up about marriage, motherhood, money, and why Sundays nearly break her. And she shares how a rebrand in Year 5 became the first step in becoming who she is now. CJ also makes a major announcement during this episode — one that her fans will not want to miss. Whether you’ve never heard of CJ or have been following her work for years, this is the story of what can happen when someone doesn’t wait for permission. You can follow CJ Hendry here.

Bethany And Simone Did Everything Together - Until a Toxic Drink Took Simone’s Life
Bethany Clarke and Simone White were best friends. They’d known each other since they were kids. So when they set off on a long-awaited backpacking trip through Southeast Asia, it was meant to be a joyful, carefree adventure. But just three days into their holiday, everything changed. At their hostel in Laos, Bethany and Simone attended happy hour drinks by the pool. What they didn’t know was that the drinks had been contaminated with methanol, a toxic and often fatal chemical sometimes found in unregulated alcohol. Within 24 hours, both women were seriously unwell and found themselves in hospital. Simone didn’t survive. Bethany did. This is the story of what happened next - the decisions no one should have to make in a foreign hospital, the grief of losing your best friend, and the unbearable weight of being the one left behind.

Deborah Frances-White Isn't Afraid To Take On The Manosphere
Deborah Frances-White is the woman behind The Guilty Feminist, the podcast that’s sparked global conversations about modern feminism, contradiction, and calling ourselves in. She’s a comedian, an author, a screenwriter, and a performer. But underneath all of that is someone who knows what it means to live in silence. Adopted at birth and raised in a strict religious community, Deborah grew up in a world shaped by rules, obedience, and fear. She was taught to conform. To behave. To stay quiet. And she did, for a while. In this episode of No Filter, Deborah shares the story of walking away from everything she was raised to believe, and how she found her voice in the aftermath. We talk about her new book, Six Conversations We’re Scared to Have, and why she's choosing to say the things most of us are too afraid to. She speaks about gender non-conformity, shame, free speech, cancel culture, and the emotional impact of being publicly shunned. We also talk about comedy, and how it became the way she processes pain, connection and truth. This is a conversation about identity, courage, and what happens when you stop being the person everyone expected you to be.

The Marvel Star Who Survived Opus Dei as a Gay Teen
Before Australian actor, Tim Pocock, was cast as young Cyclops in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, he was a teenager growing up in a strict Catholic home - navigating a world where being gay wasn’t just discouraged, it was treated as something to be fixed. In this raw and powerful conversation, Tim opens up about his time at Redfield College in Sydney - a school linked to Opus Dei. He speaks candidly about surviving conversion therapy, and the years he spent battling internalised homophobia. Tim also shares what it was like to grow up silenced, how that trauma shaped his relationship with his body, his family and his faith, and what it took to finally unlearn it all - and live as himself. This is a story of survival, truth, and reclaiming identity.

WELL: From Body To Brain Health: How To Go The Distance As You Get Older

Celeste Barber Got Famous For Being Real. Then It Got Complicated
Celeste Barber built a global following by being “real” - pulling faces in big knickers, parodying celebrity perfection, and making millions of people laugh on Instagram. But this is the side of Celeste that Instagram doesn’t see. In this intimate and revealing conversation, Celeste opens up about the chaos of her childhood, her ADHD diagnosis, the burnout that nearly broke her, and the pressure of being the internet’s favourite funny woman. She talks about her marriage to ‘Hot Husband’ Api and what it’s like raising kids while the world watches. She shares what fame has given her, what it’s taken, and the quiet work she’s done to figure out what parts of her life are just for her. Yes, she’s hilarious. But she’s also honest, vulnerable, and still figuring it out one little win at a time, just like the rest of us.

Vincent Fantauzzo On The Trauma He Hid From Asher Keddie
On paper, Vincent Fantauzzo’s life looks perfect. He’s one of Australia’s most celebrated portrait artists, winning the People’s Choice Award at the Archibald Prize four times. His subjects have included some of Australia’s biggest names - Heath Ledger, Baz Luhrmann, Matt Moran - and his work hangs in galleries, private collections, and museums around the world. He’s married to beloved actress Asher Keddie, they’re raising two boys together, and from the outside, it looks like Vincent has it all. But his real story is far more complicated. In this conversation, Vincent opens up about the trauma he’s carried since childhood: neglect, abuse, crime, poverty and the trauma that shaped him long before he ever picked up a paintbrush. He speaks about growing up completely illiterate, the violence he witnessed and was part of as a teenager, and how boxing became the unlikely path that led him to art, and ultimately, to healing. This is a conversation about survival, love, redemption, and the parts of someone’s story you’ll never see just by looking at their life from the outside.

From Husbands to Friends, Poh Ling Yeow Has Mastered Breakups
You might know Poh Ling Yeow as an artist, a chef and a regular fixture on television ever since she was first introduced to Australia on MasterChef. But that’s just the public side of Poh. The version you see is only part of her truth; behind it lies a layered, often painful journey. In this conversation Poh opens up about her years spent in the church before walking away from it, which left her untangling years of belief and identity. She shares the profound grief she has experienced with the loss of her mother, and as well as the heartbreak of two marriage breakdowns and how those moments led to loneliness, questioning and rebuilding. But through it all, she’s discovered something quite extraordinary: an ability to find beauty in the sorrow, light in the mess, and humour in the most unexpected places. This is a conversation about identity, resilience, creativity, and what it means to truly move on and start over.

David Holmes Was Harry Potter's Stunt Double... And Then He Was Paralysed
David Holmes is the Harry Potter you’ve never heard of. That’s because he was Daniel Radcliffe’s stunt double. At just 25 years old, David Holmes was living the dream. He was working on the biggest film franchise in the world, out partying, and fully immersed in a life of sex, drugs, and rock and roll. A former gymnast turned stuntman, he was in all the Harry Potter films—growing up alongside the cast, almost like a big brother to a group of pre-teens who would go on to become global stars. But while rehearsing a stunt for the final Harry Potter film—a move he’d done many times before—something went terribly wrong. David was flung into a wall and broke his neck. He now refers to his injury as “the gift that keeps on taking.” Over 15 years later, David has the use of only one arm. But as you’ll hear in this conversation, he doesn’t see himself as a victim.

Through her lens, Gracie realised she was capturing the unfolding reality of her dad’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis. What You’ll Hear: How Otto by Otto became a heartbreaking portrait of her father, Barry Otto The highs and lows of a career in Australian film and theatre The challenge of documenting a loved one’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis in real time How and why she never stops working THE END BITS: You can watch Otto By Otto on Stan.

Brooke Boney Doesn’t Know What’s Next… And She’s Ok With That
Brooke Boney had one of the best gigs in the world. For years, we woke up with her on morning TV. It was a job that changed her life—until one morning, she made a decision that would change her life again. She announced, live on air, that she was done. Not just with breakfast television, but with Australia. She was heading overseas to study at Oxford. She’s back in Australia now - wiser, thoughtful, and unsure of what her next move will be. She’s collected her wisdom in a new book, All Of It, and that pretty much sums up this special episode of No Filter. In this conversation, you’ll hear Kate & Brooke discuss: Fame & Stalkers (yes, plural) Why Brooke loves sport so much Family, Fertility, and Love Being the first Indigenous woman on commercial TV So much more… You can find Brooke’s book, All Of It, here:https://www.allenandunwin.com/browse/book/Brooke-Boney-All-of-It-9781761068003 You can follow Brooke on Instagram, here: https://www.instagram.com/boneybrooke/ THE END BITS: Listen to more No Filter interviews here and follow us on Instagram here.
