On the show today, the Logies 2025 date has been confirmed, and while we prepare for Australian TV’s ‘night of nights’, some very well-known Australian TV stars have complained that they’ve been uninvited. Allow us to explain exactly what has happened.And in a clever business move, actress and producer Sydney Sweeney is selling her literal bathwater, and we have a very pressing question about the rule she’s set for who is allowed to buy it.Plus, in a huge week for Sydney Sweeney, she has also given a tell-all interview about ending her engagement and the career roadblocks she is facing, an interview in which she utters the one sentence we thought was forbidden in Hollywood.

This week Nicola and Di chat with the inspiring trailblazer Brook Boney. Brook is a proud Gamilaroi woman. She’s a political reporter and much loved broadcaster who took the big leap of leaving her job as the entertainment reporter for The Today Show, to follow her dream to study at Oxford. Brook has written a new book All Of It, which tells her story in a beautiful and moving way and we absolutely love it. In this conversation we hear about the brave decision Brook made to leave one of the most coveted jobs in Australian TV to pursue a Masters in Public Policy at Oxford University. She shares why even though it was difficult to leave behind a job like that, and even harder still to move so far away from her family, she has no regrets. Nicola and Di also share their own life-changing decisions and how they look back proudly at those decisions now. Brook tells us what life is like at Oxford and how she’s having so much fun. She’s even landed herself in the college that recruits for spies (although Brook admits she’d be a terrible spy after a champagne of two). Brook opens up about her personal story, growing up poor in housing commission in Muswellbrook, and how she’s been the first in her family for so many of the things she’s achieved. She speaks beautifully about how proud she is to be Aboriginal, and what it means to her to feel completely connected as one link in the chain of a 60,000 year history, and the sense of duty she feels not only to those that have come before her, but also to the next generation of her family. Brook also shares about the grief she felt when her 2 dogs passed away, and the future dreams she has to be a mother one day. This is a deeply personal chat and one that we feel so lucky we were able to have with Brook. It’s also a lot of fun - we laugh all the way through this with Brook and we felt like we all were having a glass of wine together over the back fence. We hope you love Brook’s energy and her story as much as we did. If you love our Over The Back Fence chats, come and hang out with us and some amazing guests at our in person event on the 19th of June at the Woolly Bay Hotel in Sydney.

This week on 2Legs (amidst the brand new touring rumours, and Babs dropping her duet on 'My Valentine' with Macca) we are pleased to revisit the Interview Series - where we dissect a rare and not often seen interview with Paul. On this episode we chose the 1977 Interview from an Australian TV program titled "Count Down." This recently surfaced on YouTube and to see the late 70s Wings trio ensconced in the privacy of #2 Studio at Abbey Road is pretty cool to witness. They appear bored at times (Denny especially) but Paul and Linda give some good sound bites here about what's to come. This was mainly used as a promotional tool for the then current single 'Mull of Kintyre.' The gentlemen interviewing Wings is Molly Meldrum. Orignally broadcasted on 24th December 1977. And we like Paul music post-1981, sorry not sorry! Peace Andy & Tom

Brooke Boney’s life looks very different to what it did a year ago. In 2024, she was waking up in the wee hours of the morning and preparing to beam into Australia’s living rooms as a news presenter and entertainment reporter on the Today show. Now she is beaming into this interview from her dorm room at Oxford University, where she’s pursuing a master’s degree in public policy and preparing for the release of her first book, a memoir. On this episode of Something To Talk About, Brooke joins Sarrah to talk about what her life has looked like since she left Today - and to unpack some of the surprising revelations in her book, which cover everything from her insights into body image, fertility, fame and the truth about First Nations representation on Australian TV. Brooke’s memoir All of It is available here, or you can find it at your local bookstore. Watch the full episode with Brooke here.

Lucinda Light was running a speed dating company in Byron Bay when she auditioned for 'Married At First Sight'.

When it ended, she embarked on an unexpected new lifeIn 2024, a woman named Lucinda Light burst on to Australian TV screens on the reality show juggernaut 'Married at First Sight'.At first, Lucinda seemed to be another wild and kooky reality TV character.

#578: Fear blocks smart money moves. Ask Harvard Business Review advisor Dr. Margie Warrell, who guides Fortune 500 companies through strategic risk-taking. Her client roster includes NASA, Morgan Stanley, and Google. Her understanding of courage started at home. Her 13-year-old daughter landed an Australian TV role. She flew to LA for acting classes. There, she learned the hard truth: Success meant waiting tables for 20 years. The daughter's verdict was clear: "Mum, I don't want it enough." This reveals what Dr. Warrell calls the courage gap. It's the space between your current life and the life you could create through brave action. For investors, this gap appears daily. It's the distance between dreaming of financial independence and taking concrete steps toward building wealth. Drawing on her doctoral research and Fortune 500 consulting experience, Dr. Warrell outlines five critical steps to bridge this gap: 1. Focus on what you want, not what you fear. Our brains have a negativity bias — we're twice as sensitive to potential losses as potential gains. This explains why market downturns feel more intense than upswings. 2. Rewrite your story. The narratives we tell ourselves shape our actions. Perhaps you see yourself as "too risk-averse" to start a business or "not smart enough" to understand investing. Reframe these stories so you can take smart financial risks. 3. Embody courage physically. Fear lives in our bodies — whether it's anxiety about making your first investment or launching a side business. Try simple practices like deep breathing when facing big financial decisions. 4. Step into discomfort. Growth and comfort can't coexist. Every successful investor and entrepreneur started as a beginner. Financial literacy and business acumen develops through consistent practice. 5. Find the treasure when you trip. Market corrections, failed business ventures, and investment mistakes are learning opportunities. Dr. Warrell emphasizes that courage isn't about waiting until you feel confident — it's about acting despite your fears. This applies whether you're making your first stock purchase, buying your first rental property, or quitting your job to start a business. The takeaway: While you can't control market conditions or business outcomes, you can control your response to financial fears.
