What's it really like to be the only woman on an oil rig? Yassmin Abdel-Magied knows... before she was a broadcaster and novelist she worked as a drilling engineer. We <3 women in STEM. Yassmin's debut adult novel At Sea is a literary thriller set on a rig on the brink of catastrophe, with one woman holding her nerve and standing her ground in a hyper masculine world. Myf talks to her about surviving male dominated workplaces, the price of ambition, and why fiction let her say things no memoir ever could.

Episode What the Kylie Documentary Reveals About How We Treat Women Cover

What the Kylie Documentary Reveals About How We Treat Women

Myf is fresh from hosting the ARIA Hall of Fame, where six artists were finally given their due... and she's thrilled to see women being celebrated at last, with Vika and Linda going to number one the very next day. But the new Kylie Minogue documentary has her thinking hard about how cruelly we've treated our female pop stars, from Kylie to Britney to Amy Winehouse, and why it has to stop. She also gets into the Tyra Banks lawsuit over the America's Next Top Model doco, and pays a moving tribute to the late David Hockney and the love behind his work.

Episode Drawing Outside the Lines: Winning the Stella Prize with a Graphic Novel Cover

Drawing Outside the Lines: Winning the Stella Prize with a Graphic Novel

Award-winning cartoonist and graphic novelist Lee Lai joins us to discuss making history as the first author to win the Stella Prize for a graphic novel. In this conversation, we explore the evolving place of graphic novels in contemporary literature, the painstaking process of creating hand-painted comics, and the realities of sustaining a creative career. We also dive into the themes behind their acclaimed work, including queer friendship, anger, personal agency, and the symbolism of magpies as witnesses to the story. From building a creative life in Montreal to navigating the attention that comes with major literary success, this is an insightful conversation about storytelling, community, and what it means to create work that resonates.

Episode What playing Irene taught Lynne about foster care Cover

What playing Irene taught Lynne about foster care

For 32 years, Lynne McGranger played Irene Roberts on Home and Away... the woman who threw open her door to young people in need and quietly parented a whole lot of Australians along the way. This week Myf sits down with Lynne to talk about life after the show, that Gold Logie moment, and the Irene-shaped hole she's left behind. It's also a conversation close to Myf's own heart, as the two get honest about foster care, family and what it really means to show up for a kid who needs someone in their corner.
