At What Cost?
Australia is a great place to have kids. In most ways.

But right now we’re in a childcare crisis and the consequences are dire - for children, their families, communities and the economy. And, most particularly, for women.

Join host Georgie Dent as she shares real stories of parents paying the price and expert solutions. Over three episodes, she shares the stark reality of this broken system - and how we can make Australia the best place in the world to raise a child. Proudly supported by The Parenthood.

There's No Place Like Home
When we speak about domestic abuse and family violence, there’s one question victim-survivors are asked again and again. “Why didn’t you just leave?”

The simple answer is: because sometimes that’s even more dangerous.

In There’s No Place Like Home: After she leaves, new host Tara Rae Moss shares real stories from women - and men - who’ve seen firsthand how abuse transforms after separation. Plus, hear from the experts running men’s behaviour change programs about perpetrators’ tactics and excuses, and how they’re working to change their attitudes.

There’s No Place Like Home is an FW podcast in collaboration with our proud partner, Commonwealth Bank, who are committed to helping end financial abuse through CommBank Next Chapter.

Too Much
Winner of Podcast (Best Episode) at the Mumbrella Publish Awards for Julie Bishop's Too Diplomatic.

Ask any woman and she'll tell you about a time when she was too something. At work, women are suffocated by stereotypes about who we should be and how we should behave.

Join Helen McCabe as she speaks with high-achieving women who bucked trends, disrupted systems and refused to quit. Women who built careers by forging their own paths. Proudly presented by Victoria Police.
