    Carrie Bickmore is one of the most well-known faces on Australian television. As the host of The Project she’s been delivering the news differently for ten years, she’s also host of Carrie & Tommy on the Hit Network and a mum of three kids. And this year she was awarded an Order of Australia medal for her contribution to media and brain cancer research through her charity, Carrie’s Beanies for Brain Cancer. So, basically she’s a bloody legend. In this episode of You’ve Gotta Start Somewhere Carrie Bickmore talks about how a wise career counsellor got her to choose journalism over ballet, how a Stephen Bradbury moment saw her hitting the airwaves for the first time, why her first night on Rove Live was one of the most terrifying of her career and how she ended up hosting one of the most well-known shows on Australian television.

  • Derryn Hinch

    Derryn Hinch
    Dec 25 2018
    Derryn Hinch is an Australian journalist whose career has spanned almost six decades. He’s recently made a return to the small screen as the host of Hinch on Sky News Australia after spending three years as a Senator in Canberra as leader of Derryn Hinch’s Justice Party. Derryn started his career as a journalist at the Taranaki Herald in New Zealand when he was 15 and hasn’t stopped working since (apart from a couple of stints in prison after being convicted of contempt of court). In this episode he talks about reporting on some of the biggest events of the 20th Century, why he lied about his age for the first part of his career, why going to prison appealed to the journalist in him and the pain of having a show you love cancelled. Derryn’s story is a fascinating tale of guts, talent, resilience all mixed with a bit of being in the right place at the right time. After listening to this you’ll know exactly why he’s still on our screens all these decades later. Episode show notes: http://rachelcorbett.com.au/ygss/derryn-hinch About the host...

  • Dr Chris Brown

    Dr Chris Brown
    May 29 2018
    Dr Chris Brown is a veterinarian, television presenter and half the Australian female population's hall pass. He started out as a guest host on the super popular Harry's Practice after being discovered trying to pick up a girl in a pub. True story. He was attempting to impress her with tales of the life of a vet and a TV executive just happened to overhear him. The rest, as they say, is history. Harry's Practice was cancelled not long after Chris' appearance and he's not so sure it was a coincidence. But he must have done something right because he's gone on to become one of Australia's busiest and most loved media personalities. Dr Chris Brown hosts a list of shows as long as your arm including Bondi Vet, The Living Room, I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here, Chris & Julia's Sunday Night Takeaway and Vet Gone Wild. In this episode of You've Gotta Start Somewhere, Chris Brown he reveals why a six-foot-five bloke should never attempt the worm, why he's uncomfortable with fame, the joy of having a career to fall back on when you work in an industry as precarious as media and the time he made a fool of himself in front of the late, great Nelson Mandela. It's worth a listen for that story alone. Episode show notes: https://rachelcorbett.com.au/ygss/dr-chris-brown/ About the host...
