Kate Langbroek's long-form interviews with Australian public figures about the moment things cracked open.
No Filter is a long-form interview show built around recognisable people speaking past their headline version. Its best episodes move from career mythology into the stranger, more human material underneath: grief, reinvention, violence, ageing, ambition, identity, and what survival costs.

No Filter is Mamamia's long-form interview podcast, with episodes in the sample running roughly 60 to 82 minutes. Kate Langbroek is the primary host, with Holly Wainwright stepping in as guest host in at least one episode. The format is a single extended one-on-one conversation structured around a guest's personal history rather than news or promotional talking points. Guests are largely Australian women in public life: broadcaster Lisa Wilkinson, crime novelist Candice Fox, singer and actor Natalie Bassingthwaighte, and reality TV personality Angie Kent all appear in the sample, alongside a more unusual guest, adult content creator Bonnie Blue. Recurring themes include career trajectories in Australian media and entertainment, motherhood and fertility (including IVF and solo parenting by choice), coming out and shifting sexual identity later in life, chronic illness and late-diagnosed conditions such as ADHD and autism, and the research behind true crime writing. The show also uses interviews to work through editorial questions directly, as in the Bonnie Blue episode, where the host and producers describe debating internally whether to run the interview at all. Episodes typically connect a guest's public persona to one private rupture — a marriage ending, a career exit, a diagnosis — and use that rupture as the spine of the conversation. Mid-roll advertisements for other Mamamia podcasts, such as But Are You Happy and Unleashed, appear within episodes. The core audience is listeners already following Australian celebrity and media culture, since most guests are established public figures rather than newcomers. Tone throughout is intimate and conversational, including when the subject matter is ethically fraught or graphic.
Made for: Listeners interested in candid, personal-history interviews with Australian media, entertainment, and reality TV figures, especially around women's health, identity, and career turning points.
What sets it apart: Unlike most celebrity interview shows, No Filter sometimes airs its own internal debate about whether a guest should be platformed at all, as with adult content creator Bonnie Blue.

Short reviews from the PlayNext desk, based on the episodes we processed.
A warm, literary conversation about Lisa Wilkinson, public retreat, and the Australian Titanic story that drew her into history.

Candice Fox turns a death-row hook into a vivid conversation about childhood, crime writing, and the pull of dark stories.
Candice Fox's conversation with Holly Wainwright opens with the sort of scene crime writers dream of and most people would avoid: death row, a clanking door, and Fox inside a cage with a serial killer, asking why.
Natalie Bassingthwaighte turns a familiar public career story into a candid account of love, identity and a marriage ending.
No Filter uses Natalie Bassingthwaighte's public career as the way into a more private reckoning: the night that altered her marriage, the physical withdrawal that followed, and the slower work of understanding love, identity and family after it.

A blunt, uneasy No Filter interview that tests Bonnie Blue's account of sex, work, provocation, and the Bali fallout.
