Hello! Today, we are bringing you a very special interview with Shameless Media’s very own Eilish Gilligan. Pop culture has always been a huge part of Eilish’s life, but before she started working on the Shameless Podcast, she was pursuing a career as a solo artist in music. In this conversation, Eilish speaks about her non-linear career trajectory and the moment she was dropped by her music manager, out of the blue, after years of hard work. She also opens up the ebbs and flows of her mental health, and how she found the strength to walk away from a toxic relationship when everyone else around her was settling down.

Hello! Today, we are joined by Jase Hawkins. Jase likely needs no introduction; he’s the co-host of Nova 100’s Melbourne breakfast show, alongside the brilliant Lauren Phillips. Jase and Lauren started out together on KISS; in fact, they first were introduced in a hotel room, where their initial chemistry test took place, but in 2024, they lost their breakfast slot to Kyle and Jackie O, who began broadcasting out of Melbourne. However, there is much more to Jase than his warm and hilarious radio persona. In this conversation, Jase opens up about his early radio career and why he owes it all to Kyle Sandilands, how he’s processed the grief of losing both of his parents in the space of three years, and why he will give everyone the time of day, no matter who they are.

So, instead of our regular format, we’re mixing things up this Tuesday and releasing a Life Lessons episode featuring the very philosophical Tim. In this conversation, Tim speaks about becoming a parent, the 30-year relationship he shares with his wife, Sarah, marriage, fidelity, and how they’ve stuck together, amongst all the fame. He opens up about how he’s dealt with public criticism, why he’ll never consume something he’s created, the importance of setting micro ambitions and achievable goals, and why it all comes down to luck.

In 2015, Tarang’s younger sister Nikita was murdered by her then-husband at the age of just 23.

Hello! Today, we speak to ex-AFL player Mitch Brown. Mitch likely needs no introduction – a few weeks ago, his interview with The Daily Aus made worldwide news and AFL history when he came out as the first openly male bisexual player. In 130 years, no player in the men’s league has ever identified as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, and the AFL is one of the last professional male sports leagues in the world for someone to identify as queer. In this conversation, Mitch speaks about moving to Perth at 18 to play for West Coast, and how it feels to be so apologetically himself after years of hiding his identity. We also discuss the response to his announcement, how he feels about the AFL clubs that remained silent, and the three core values that make up the relationship he shares with his girlfriend, Lou.

In 2009, he survived a head-on collision that killed three of his best mates, which he wrote about vividly in his debut memoir, Car Crash. His latest family memoir, though, Australian Gospel, is an astonishing true story of his unconventional family held together by love and courage.
