Dan Sultan joins Myf to talk about his new album, Little Miracles, a lush, orchestral record that he calls a watershed in his career. Made with songwriter and producer Guy Chambers, it was written in 12 days and recorded in 19. Dan explains how a voice note opened up a whole new part of his creative world and what it meant to finally feel “seen” as an artist. He also reflects on the harder years, his journey with mental health and sobriety, and the moment that connected it all.

Myf is joined by the brilliant journalist Marc Fennell, who has an incredible ability to find and platform the stories we didn’t even know we cared about. Marc is the host of Mastermind, No One Saw It Coming and Stuff the British Stole, and today he sits down with Myf to talk about his new documentary, State of Man. They dive into the culture of masculinity in Australia, how boys are led into the online world of the manosphere, and what hope we can have for a better future with better people in it.

Two heritage Australian labels, Cue and Veronika Maine, have gone bust and stylist and author, Sally McKinnon, takes a quick break from Melbourne Fashion Week to join Myf to unpack what went wrong. They look at why the brands lost touch with the customers who grew up wearing them, how the casualisation of work and everyday life changed what we wear, and how fast fashion has changed what we expect to pay, making it impossible for locally made brands to survive.

TV broadcasting is subject to plenty of regulations, but when it comes to podcasting and the rise of YouTube content, it's the wild west out there. Myf is joined by comedian Simon Taylor to talk about his new Stan series The Sonny Disposition, a satire of the podcasting industry. They discuss how hard it's becoming to create satire when real life is already so absurd and how the loudest and most controversial voices are elevated by the algorithm, spreading dangerous misinformation, with almost nobody to stop it.

Myf is joined by Mark Seymour of iconic band Hunters & Collectors, and they are going deep.

They dig into why stand-up comedy barely exists in China's collectivist culture, the strict censorship she has to navigate when performing there, and the growing wave of young female Chinese comedians using dark humour to talk openly about trauma, divorce and gender politics, a scene that mirrors a much bigger global shift in how women are rejecting the roles they were raised to expect.
