The Spring Reset: What Actually Works to Lose Belly Fat?

After 31 years presenting the ABC finance report and half a century in journalism, finance legend Alan Kohler recently made the massive announcement that he is stepping away from the nightly news desk. But don't call it retirement...he’s just changing gears on his own terms. In this episode, I sit down with Alan to talk about what "stepping into your prime time" actually looks like when you've spent decades working at a breakneck pace. We discuss his move into podcasting with his son Chris, how he handles shifting identity as he turns 75, and why he’s choosing to keep doing what he loves rather than taking up golf. Then, we dive into the big economic challenges on the horizon for Australia. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hello! This week, I sit down with the incredible Liane Moriarty to talk about her brand-new, number-one bestselling book, Big Little Truths... the long-awaited sequel to Big Little Lies. We chat about what it was like picking up these iconic characters 10 years later, navigating life with teenagers, midlife perspective shifts, and the surreal feeling of seeing her words come to life on the global screen.

The government has officially banned checkout surcharges on credit cards, which means no more extra fees when you tap your card in store. But while that sounds like a win, it’s triggering a major shake-up behind the scenes that could quietly cost you money. In this episode, I sit down with financial educator and author Nicole Pedersen-McKinnon for a proper wallet audit. We unpack how merchants are pricing card fees into shelf prices, why banks are slashing credit card rewards, points, and travel insurance perks, and what you need to check on your own cards to ensure you're still getting real value.
