A new study says that engaging with the arts can slow aging. How good is that?! Today Myf sits down with artist, designer and all round creative force Rachel Burke, currently artist in residence at Brisbane Powerhouse, to talk about why creativity is a way of life, what play actually does for your brain and what it's like spending a day dressing Cate Blanchett.

Em Rusciano on Madonna, musicals and finally choosing herself
Em Rusciano on Madonna, musicals and finally choosing herself episode artwork
07/14/2026

There's a particular kind of unravelling happening to women in their forties and fifties right now, and Em Rusciano has made it her whole body of work. She joins Myf to talk about the morning she woke up and realised she'd built her entire personality around being chosen by someone else, and what she did next. And the biggest moment for them both in music: why Madonna's new record has an entire generation of women weeping on dance floors, the unexpected gift of losing your oestrogen, what men's dating profiles reveal about how badly we've let them down, and...

07/13/2026

An AI cover of Like A Prayer has hit number one on the Australian charts, and Myf has a lot to say about it. She gets into what it means for musicians, and the AI copyright fight landing in Parliament this week that will decide whether Australian artists get paid for work being scraped to train these models. Top news today is the eye-watering cost of the Taylor and Travis wedding, Dolly Parton's Broadway musical and her new chain of truck stops, and a fond farewell to Bonnie Tyler. Plus the best anti-aging technique Myf has found yet... no...

06/30/2026

Australian singer-songwriter Josh Pyke joins Myf to talk about his most open and honest album yet, The Kingdom Within. Born out of grief, anxiety and the slow work of learning to be kinder to himself, the record finds Josh at his most vulnerable. They get into the harsh inner voice so many of us carry, why we struggle to accept that we're actually doing okay, and the lesson his late mum left him about leaving the party while you're still having fun. A tender, funny and wide-open conversation about midlife, music and finally letting yourself feel it.

Taylor's wedding, Madonna's return and Paul Hogan enters the chat episode artwork
06/28/2026

The wedding of the year is almost here, and Myf has thoughts on Taylor Swift saying I do in a rather unexpected venue. This week she gets into the Taylor and Travis of it all, a Madonna and Kylie moment that has her quietly losing it, and a fashion update she's calling her favourite in years... think one see-through fashion item and a whole lotta sweaty toes. Plus the bonkers real estate listings that have become her unlikely Friday night obsession, and yours too by the looks of it. It's chaotic, a little unhinged, and exactly the sort of...

Today Matt joins Myf to talk about his life as an astrophysicist, and his gorgeous new kids' video podcast Why Though? Along the way they get into everything from whether we're alone in the universe to why we lose our curiosity as we grow up.

Myf had her mind blown at the opening of MONA's wild new library in Hobart, where the books light up and you can breathe air no human has ever breathed before.

06/22/2026

You're 40. You're supposed to have it all figured out by now. And then, quietly, everything comes apart. This is the story of what musician Eliza Hull found on the other side of her own unravelling... the anger she stopped hiding, the version of herself she'd lost touch with, and the boldest music she's ever made. Myf knows all about this chapter of coming undone and could it be the most freeing thing that can happen to a woman in midlife?

06/17/2026

When Anthony arrived in residential care in regional NSW and met his residential care worker Will Mafi, it was meant to be temporary - a place to land until a permanent home was found. But three years later, after other placements were explored, Anthony made a decision that changed everything: he chose to stay with Will, long-term.

On this episode of The Moment, DCJ foster carer Will joins Myf Warhurst and Lynne McGranger - Australia’s most famous (fictional!) foster carer on TV - to talk about how a single, gay, proud Tongan foster dad be...

Myf is fresh from hosting the ARIA Hall of Fame, where six artists were finally given their due... and she's thrilled to see women being celebrated at last, with Vika and Linda going to number one the very next day. But the new Kylie Minogue documentary has her thinking hard about how cruelly we've treated our female pop stars, from Kylie to Britney to Amy Winehouse, and why it has to stop. She also gets into the Tyra Banks lawsuit over the America's Next Top Model doco, and pays a moving tribute to the late David Hockney and the...

06/11/2026

For 32 years, Lynne McGranger played Irene Roberts on Home and Away... the woman who threw open her door to young people in need and quietly parented a whole lot of Australians along the way.


This week Myf sits down with Lynne to talk about life after the show, that Gold Logie moment, and the Irene-shaped hole she's left behind. It's also a conversation close to Myf's own heart, as the two get honest about foster care, family and what it really means to show up for a kid who needs someone in their corner.

Myf and her brother Kit grew up loving Fine Young Cannibals and their raft of hits, so getting the voice behind She Drives Me Crazy on The Moment is a genuine thrill. Forty years on, Roland Gift is still funny, still surprising, and still chasing the beat. And Myf finds out just who interrupted Roland Gift's night in a Soho club to tell him she loved his cover of Suspicious Minds. My goodness!

The Venice Biennale seagull has hatched an egg and we are invested, and the end of an era with Stephen Colbert signing off from his late night show.
