The Moment with Myf Warhurst
What it really takes to change male violence in Australia
Tarang Chawla’s sister Niki was murdered in 2015, and he has since become a voice to advocate for his sister and all other women facing male violence. Tarang and Myf unpack "the man box", the unwritten rules that teach boys to suppress emotion and chase dominance and how it fuels everything from mental health struggles to male violence. Tarang speaks candidly about the backlash he's faced for calling out male violence and what individual men can actually do to help shift the culture.

Writing an album in 12 days with Dan Sultan
29:41|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.GuestDan SultanInsta - @dansultanmusicAlbum ‘Little Miracles’ OUT NOW*Hosted by the queen of culture herself, *The Moment with Myf Warhurst* unpacks ‘The Moment’ that has everyone talking, diving deeper than the headlines to give the details you need in the time you’ve got.

The demise of Australian fashion labels
30:29|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.Guest:Sally Mackinnon / Styled By SallyInsta - @styledbysally*Hosted by the queen of culture herself, *The Moment with Myf Warhurst* unpacks ‘The Moment’ that has everyone talking, diving deeper than the headlines to give the details you need in the time you’ve got.

No rules. No regulation. With Simon Taylor
34:58|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.Guest:Simon TaylorInsta @simontaylorfunnyboySimon’s sitcom The Sonny Disposition on Stan NOWSee Simon live simontaylorfunnyboy.com*Hosted by the queen of culture herself, *The Moment with Myf Warhurst* unpacks ‘The Moment’ that has everyone talking, diving deeper than the headlines to give the details you need in the time you’ve got.More Myf:Book - Middle Rage OUT NOWFollow Better at Home - @betterathome_podcastStay ConnectedInstagram @myfwarhurstTikTok @myfwarhurstLinkedIn Myf WarhurstGet In TouchBrands/ Partnerships: Myf@mik.studioShow CreditsHost & Executive Producer: Myf WarhurstExecutive Producer: Amelia ChappelowProducer: Roisin YauEngineer & Editing: Grant OffnerVideo Producer: Lauren CooperCopywriter & Strategy: Antonia MinutoloPhotography: Julia NallesArtwork: Brigitte GreenePartnerships: Dylan Adams hello@mik.studioThis is a MIK Made productionRecorded on Wurundjeri Land

Telling women's stories is RADICAL

Suzie also shares the story behind her new play Strong Is the New Pretty, a love letter to the women who made the AFLW happen, and explains how her work has inspired young women to study law and even changed the way a UK judge directs juries.Guest Suzie Miller (@suziemillerwriter)Novels/Plays: ‘Inter Alia’ and ‘Prima Facie’‘Strong Is The New Pretty’ tickets on sale now at strongisthenewprettyplay.com.au*Hosted by the queen of culture herself, *The Moment with Myf Warhurst* unpacks ‘The Moment’ that has everyone talking, diving deeper than the headlines to give the details you need in the time you’ve got.
