Most Australians met Sophie Delezio when she was two years old, after a car crashed into her childcare centre and left her fighting for her life. She survived — and then, extraordinarily, survived a second catastrophic accident just a few years later. She grew up in hospitals, in the headlines, and in the hearts of a country that has been quietly following her ever since.
But the woman sitting across from Kate today isn't the little girl from those front pages. She's 25, married to her childhood sweetheart, and a new mum working out — like every new mum — how to hold onto herself in the middle of it all.
Sophie and Kate talk about what actually happened the day of her first accident, and the impossible decision her parents faced over keeping her on life support. They talk about growing up with her disability treated as simply normal, and the moments at school where other people tried to decide what she could and couldn't do. Sophie shares what it was like moving to London at eighteen to study and live completely independently for the first time, and how a high school friendship with her now-husband Joseph blossomed years later into a marriage.
She opens up about giving birth to their son Frankie, and the particular fear a caesarean brought up for someone who has spent a lifetime in operating theatres. And she explains why she deleted social media completely for a year, what brought her back, and why her new podcast, Kids' Health Explained, made with the Sydney Children's Hospitals Network, has become one of the most meaningful projects of her career.
Through all of it, Sophie is clear about one thing: she considers herself lucky, not unlucky, and wouldn't change a single part of her story.
Sophie's podcast, Kids' Health Explained, from the Sydney Children's Hospitals Network, is out now wherever you get your podcasts.

Liane Moriarty is one of the most successful authors in the world — the writer behind Big Little Lies, Nine Perfect Strangers, Apples Never Fall and The Husband's Secret. Now, for the first time in her career, she's written a sequel: Big Little Truths, returning to Madeline, Celeste and the rest of the Big Little Lies world a decade on.
In this conversation, Liane and Kate talk about why she avoided writing a sequel for so long, the pressure of returning to characters millions of readers already love, and the surreal experience of watching Nicole Kidman, Reese Witherspoon and Meryl Streep bring her imagination to life on screen — including the story of how she wrote a role specifically for Meryl Streep before ever meeting her.
They also get into Liane's family of writers (three of five sisters are published authors), her own breast cancer scare, marriage, motherhood, writing teenagers, envy as a creative motivator, and why — even after decades of success — she still braces for criticism before a single review is written.
While the conversation avoids any major spoilers, Liane and Kate do discuss Big Little Truths. Some listeners may wish to read the book in advance of listening to this episode.
Big Little Truths by Liane Moriarty is out 25th August.

Harriet Dyer spent years chasing an acting career, navigating rejection, self-doubt and the uncertainty that comes with trying to make it in one of the toughest industries there is.
Then she co-created Colin From Accounts with her husband, Patrick Brammall—and everything changed.
In this episode of No Filter, Harriet joins Kate Langbroek for a candid conversation about building one of Australia's most successful television shows, why she and Patrick have chosen to end it while it's still at its peak, and the unexpected cost of creating something that consumed almost every part of their lives.
Harriet also opens up about growing up shy, being rejected from NIDA twice, becoming a mother while writing and filming three seasons of television, the guilt of balancing work and family, and why she believes the best creative partnerships are built on trust, honesty and knowing when to let go.
This is a conversation about creativity, ambition, marriage, motherhood and the courage to keep choosing the life you want—even when it's the harder one.
The third and final season of Colin From Accounts is streaming now on Binge.

Amy Shark doesn't know how ended up here.
Before the ARIA Awards, the platinum records and sold-out tours, there were years of cover gigs, day jobs, rejected demos and wondering whether it was finally time to give up. She came within days of walking away from music altogether before one song, Adore, changed everything.
In this episode of No Filter, Amy joins Kate Langbroek for a deeply personal conversation about the fifteen years it took to become an 'overnight success', why she believes the universe had other plans for her, and what fame actually looks like once you've achieved everything you thought you wanted.
She talks about growing up on the Gold Coast with young parents, the grandmother who believed in her before anyone else did, falling in love with her husband and manager Shane, navigating marriage inside the music industry, and the burnout that left her feeling as though she had nothing left to give.
Amy also reflects on finding joy in songwriting again, making her fourth album Soft Pop, and why she's finally learnt that success isn't about constantly chasing the next milestone.
This is a conversation about perseverance, creativity, love, grief and what happens when the dream you've spent your whole life chasing finally comes true.
Amy Shark's new album Soft Pop is out now.

Rosie O’Donnell has lived almost every version of life in the spotlight. From her breakout in Hollywood alongside Tom Hanks and Madonna, to her groundbreaking daytime talk show that redefined television, Rosie was one of the most famous women in America.
But with fame came ridicule, public feuds, and moments that cut deeply. She’s been celebrated, mocked, and at times turned into the punchline of her own story. And one of the most painful moments came when Ellen DeGeneres told the world they weren’t friends.
In this conversation, Rosie is raw, funny and reflective. She speaks about growing up in the shadow of losing her mother, her shy first attempts at romance, the highs and lows of talk show success, and the very public feuds that made headlines. She shares what it was like to be blindsided by Ellen’s rejection, and why that moment stayed with her. And yes, she even talks about her recent return to our screens in And Just Like That.
Rosie O’Donnell has lived a big, messy, fascinating life — and in this episode, she tells it all.
