Introducing I Never Told You This: Two People. One big reveal. A simple card deck with questions. Some are light-hearted, some deeper…and one that says ‘I Never Told You This’ - the chance for one person to share something they’ve never told the other before. In the first episode of 'I Never Told You This', Mary and Martha Kalifatidis chat about their all-too-relatable experience of protectiveness and anxiety as parents. Head to Medibank [https://www.familyroast.com.au/] to learn more about the Family Roast card game that sparked the conversation.

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.  You can watch Poh on this season of MasterChef on Network 10 and you can follow her here: https://www.instagram.com/pohlingyeow/?hl=en [https://www.instagram.com/pohlingyeow/?hl=en]    THE END BITS: Listen to more No Filter interviews here [https://www.mamamia.com.au/podcasts/no-filter/] and follow us on Instagram here.

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. Life, he says, guarantees nothing. It’s what you do with what you’ve got that counts. And David is doing a lot. From writing a novel to producing a documentary with his friend Daniel Radcliffe, hosting a podcast, advocating for disability rights—and yes, having the best sex of his life. You can follow David and find his book, The Boy Who Lived, here: https://www.instagram.com/davidholmes83/?hl=en [https://www.instagram.com/davidholmes83/?hl=en] If this conversation brought up any hard feelings for you - please seek help.

The Otto Legacy. An Award Winning Documentary. High End Fashion. Gracie Otto is one of the Ottos—you know, Barry and Miranda Otto, Australian cinematic royalty. But she has carved out her own space in the industry. She’s the director behind The Other Guy, Deadloch, The Artful Dodger, and Heartbreak High. However, it’s her most recent film, the AACTA-winning documentary Otto by Otto, that pulls back the curtain on the Otto family. What began as a project documenting her father, Barry, as he prepared to premiere a one-man show became something far more personal. 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 [https://play.stan.com.au/programs/4323391/play] on Stan.  Listen to more No Filter interviews here [https://www.mamamia.com.au/podcasts/no-filter/] and follow us on Instagram here.
