Sarah Abo was just four years old when her parents moved her and her younger sisters from Syria to Australia in search of a better life.

Growing up in Melbourne, and rarely seeing people like her on TV, Sarah became determined to change that as she built a successful journalism career at SBS and then 60 Minutes.

Then, in 2023, she was thrown into the deep end when she became the co-host of the Today show, alongside Karl Stefanovic.

On today’s episode of the Stellar podcast, Sarah tells us how she’s navigated the intense media scrutiny that comes with the job, why she sees Karl as a “loving but annoying older brother”, and what it means for Australia’s diverse migrant community to see someone like her in their living rooms each morning.

Dave Hughes has one of the most recognisable voices in the Australian entertainment industry, and has been making people laugh through his stand-up career, radio shows and regular TV appearances for more than 30 years.

But in August 2024, his breakfast radio show Hughesy, Ed and Erin was pulled from the air. Then, while he was adjusting to a new, slower pace of life in 2025, Dave broke six ribs and punctured a lung during an AFL charity game in Melbourne.

In this episode of the Stellar podcast, Dave explains why getting the sack from radio turned out to be a liberating experience, how he’s feeling almost six months on from his injury, and why he is turning his trauma into comedy gold for his new standup tour, COOKED.

Erin Holland first stepped into the spotlight at the age of 24 when she was crowned Miss World Australia.

In the 12 years since, Erin has built a career in which she wears many hats: classical singer, model, television presenter, brand ambassador and cricket commentator.

It’s a workload that saw her board more than 130 flights last year, travelling not only the world but jetting between Sydney, where she’s based most of the week, and Brisbane, where she spends weekends with her husband of four years, Australian cricketer Ben Cutting.

In today’s episode of the Stellar podcast, Erin opens up about her unconventional living arrangement, how she’s navigated the "old boys" club’ of cricket, and why she decided to open up about her fertility journey – even while she’s still in the middle of it.

A lot of people have been cancelled in 2025, and Clare Stephens has spoken to a few of them. The writer, editor and podcaster joins Sarrah Le Marquand to unpack the psychology behind outrage culture, the emotional toll of public shaming, and the double standards that still define how we judge women in the public eye.

Alongside publishing her debut novel The Worst Thing I’ve Ever Done, this year Clare also launched The Pile-On, a podcast giving voice to people who’ve been “cancelled” and exploring what those moments reveal about all of us. In this conversation, she reflects on empathy, accountability, and why she believes it’s time we stopped confusing cruelty with change.

Anna Robards was only 26 when she met her now husband Tim Robards on the inaugural season of The Bachelor in 2013.

Once the finale aired, Anna was thrust into the spotlight and found herself trying to navigate one of the most publicly scrutinised relationships in the country and a new career in media. Then, after a stint on reality show SAS Australia and a near-fatal birth experience, Anna learnt how to let go of fear and finally found her voice.

In this episode of the Stellar podcast, Anna tells us about the five words a Navy Seal said to her that changed her life, what it’s like to support a spouse who’s an aspiring actor, and how the traumatic birth of her second child taught her to finally live in the moment.
