A Podcast of One’s Own with Julia Gillard: Interview with Cate Blanchett

Tune in each week to A Podcast Of Ones Own and listen to Australia’s first female Prime Minister Julia Gillard interview other leaders across different industries: business, entertainment, media, sport and more. Her most recent interview was with Oscar-winning Australian actress, Cate Blanchett, where they discuss the gender wage gap between male and female actors, and how COVID-19 has spotlighted the bitter truth of inequality around the world. They even talk about Blanchett’s most recent role as a conservative Phyllis Schlafly in Mrs. America.

Chasing Charlie

Chasing Charlie is the latest true-crime podcast on the block and you know we’re all about true-crime here in Australia. In it, private investigator Julia Robson is on a seemingly routine case of a jilted lover, but instead uncovers the workings of conman, Charlie. A determined Robson takes on a seven-year mission to seek justice for victims across the globe. The episodes are based on crime, dominance, deception and layered with dark sexual undertones — all the makings of a gripping podcast.

Each episode aims to answer the big questions and features recorded conversations from around the globe because everyone is enduring a similar ordeal.

But in light of COVID-19, Montgomery and Batt have launched an ‘Emergency Season’ in which they watch Home Alone 3 every three days until the lockdown is over.
