No Filter

G Flip gave themselves one year to make their solo career happen. They wrote songs in their bedroom, built a spreadsheet of the Australian music industry and prepared a live show before anyone had booked them to perform.
Then one song changed everything.
In this conversation with Kate Langbroek, G shares the determination behind what might have looked like overnight success, and the story of the teacher who recognised their potential long before the rest of the world caught up.
They talk about a childhood obsession with drums, finding the language to understand their gender, and the extraordinary self-belief that kept them going. G also speaks openly about their relationship with Chrishell at the time of recording, falling in love in the public eye and the emotional experience of trying to start a family through IVF.
Funny, thoughtful and full of warmth, this is the story of how G Flip became G Flip.
This conversation was first published in August 2025.

A week into her sobriety, Belinda Carlisle broke down in the middle of Harrods and called her husband with one question: how could you stay with me?
Belinda has lived more lives than most. She started the Go-Go’s with a group of girls from the LA punk scene who had never played a note, and within three years they had the first number one album by an all-female band who wrote their own songs and played their own instruments. Then she went solo and gave the world ‘Heaven Is a Place on Earth’.
In this conversation with Kate Langbroek, Belinda opens up about growing up the eldest of seven with a stepfather who told her she’d never amount to anything, and the music press that called her “pretty and plump”. She talks about the drugs she used partly to stay thin and the 30-year addiction that followed, and about getting sober at 47. She also tells the story of the night she met her husband and moved in with him the next day, leaving LA for the south of France four days after the 1994 earthquake, and the morning her teenage son came out to her and then announced it at his school assembly.
Plus, why her G’day & Goodbye tour will be the last time she tours Australia, and why she might just come back for a one-off.
Belinda’s G’day & Goodbye tour plays Fremantle Prison (3 March), the Palais Theatre, Melbourne (5 and 6 March), the Enmore Theatre, Sydney (12 and 13 March) and Fortitude Music Hall, Brisbane (19 and 20 March, 2027). Tickets are available here. Her latest album, Once Upon a Time in California, is out now.
This episode discusses addiction, disordered eating and body image. If it raises anything for you, support is available from Lifeline on 13 11 14 or the Butterfly Foundation on 1800 33 4673.

Judith Lucy wrote the book on wellness. Then she got cancer.
After years of anxiety and a burnout that forced her to step away from stand-up, one of Australia’s funniest women went searching for a way to feel better. That search took her all the way to an ayahuasca retreat in the Amazon. Let’s just say enlightenment wasn’t what she brought home.
Just days before her scheduled double mastectomy, Judith joins her longtime friend Kate Langbroek for a conversation that is as funny, frank and deeply personal as you’d expect.
She shares the Christmas Day revelation that changed how she understood her family, and the devastating phone call that exposed the boyfriend she thought she’d grow old with. She also opens up about the anxiety that followed her on stage for decades, and why it took until her 50s to ask what she actually wanted her life to look like.
And when her cancer diagnosis brought up a fear familiar to so many single women, who would look after her, her friends had an answer.
Judith’s new book, Well Well Well, is out now through Simon & Schuster.

Benson Boone knows what people say about him. He’s heard the Harry Styles comparisons, the Freddie Mercury references and the assumptions about everything from his jumpsuits to his politics. He’s even had strangers tell him they thought he’d be a “real douchebag”.
We know No Filter listeners love a great interview so we’re sharing an interview from our sister podcast, The Spill. No Filter executive producer and Spill guest host Bree Player sits down with Benson to talk about what people get wrong about him, why those comparisons can be frustrating, and the imposter syndrome that follows him into rooms full of his musical heroes.
For someone so confident onstage, life away from it can take some figuring out. Benson opens up about adjusting to the quiet after a tour, his constantly racing mind and how a song about losing one person became a love letter to the people who show up for him.
Find more celebrity interviews and entertainment conversations on The Spill, wherever you get your podcasts.

Rodger Corser has played a jackaroo, a detective, a cop and a heart surgeon, and for most of his career he's been very good at not telling us much about himself. In this episode Kate gets him talking.
He takes us back to the pub bands he played from age 16, and to the film school degree that was supposed to put him behind the camera. He tells the story of walking into the Rent audition with no plan and walking out with the lead, and of the notorious party cast that followed. We hear about meeting his wife Renae through a matchmaking agent, and about becoming a stepdad and then a dad. Rodger also talks about the diagnosis that came barely a year into their relationship, how bluntly it was delivered, and the second opinion Renae's mum insisted on that changed everything. From there he describes the busy years of 12-hour days and months away from home, which his family carried, and the quiet years since. He also gets into the Underbelly nickname that has followed him around for almost two decades.
Rodger talks about the pivot from scripted drama to hosting The Traitors and The Floor, the Today show speculation, and why he thinks the industry asks young performers to give away too much of themselves. Then there's Shawshank. After 20 years away he's returning to the stage as the Warden, opening at Sydney's Theatre Royal in January 2027 and touring to Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide and Brisbane.
