Rough Draft
Rough Draft is your weekly yap session with Kaley-Jade Baker - radio host, TikTok wannabe, storyteller and just one of the girls trying to figure it all out. Real conversations, unfiltered thoughts and the chaos that comes with growing up, figuring yourself out, learning new things and stepping into a new chapter. From burnout, relationships and confidence to chasing dreams, pop culture and personal growth, no topic is off limits. Some episodes are a solo sesh with Kaley, others feature guests with stories, experiences and perspectives worth hearing. Because nobody really has it all figured out - we’re all ju...

Annabelle Brett: Redundancy & Maternity Leave
Welcome to another week of the Rought Draft!
My friend & radio colleague Annabelle Brett (AB) joins me as guest host.

The duality of life: Highs & lows
This week, we really explore the dualities of life.
It’s been a week of highs and lows: losing a pet, securing tickets to see a really cool artist, seeing things online that made me smile & others that made me sad. So we’re unpacking all of that & everything in between.
Plus, we’re diving into some truly terrible date stories. If you’ve got one of your own to share, send me a voice note via the podcast Instagram at @roughdraft.podcast
Happy listening xx

Can’t wait to debrief.

GTKM: Who does she think she is?
GTKM: Who Does She Think She Is? is basically me attempting to explain myself before the official launch of Rough Draft on June 1.
This is a chaotic little get to know me episode where I talk through 20 things that pretty much sum up who I am - from growing up country and accidentally ending up in radio, to being emotionally self-aware one minute and absolutely delusional the next.
We get into ambition, relationships, overthinking, humour as a coping mechanism, why I romanticise literally everything and why this podcast even exists in...
