Show Notes
Actor, writer and disability advocate Hannah Diviney joins Myf for Mental Health Month, opening up about living with cerebral palsy, the lack of disability representation she grew up with, and the accidental path that led her from Instagram advocacy to the premier of Wuthering Heights and receiving a compliment from Jacob Elordi. They talk candidly about managing mental health in a creative industry built on rejection, why curiosity and self compassion are central to Hannah's approach to life, and the courage it took to deliver her Senate testimony against NDIS funding cuts.

More from The Moment with Myf Warhurst
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.
Amid the nationwide cost of living and student protests in Paris, the young New World Orchestra is playing classical music in the middle of the chaos and Myf deep dives how music can reframe how we see people fighting, disrupting judgement. She then covers the box office success of Nathan Fielder's Elizabeth Holmes documentary You Can See Everything, the results of Radio National's Top 100 Australian Books and the announcement that Girls is returning for a limited series in 2027.
When Powderfinger called it a day 16 years ago, Myf conducted the band’s last interview for an ABC TV special. When they decided to get back together, Myf got the call again. Today's episode is an exclusive chat with the band themselves as they prepare to return to the spotlight.
The incredible playwright and author Suzie Miller joins Myf to talk about her follow-up to the global phenomenon Prima Facie, the novel Inter Alia, which looks at the justice system through the eyes of a feminist judge whose son is accused of a crime. They discuss what it's like to watch a story take on a life of its own in 30 languages and 50 countries, the invisible emotional labour working mothers carry, and why men need to start having uncomfortable conversations with their sons about masculinity, porn and consent. 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.
