The Universe Kept Bringing Us Together (With John Butler & Mama Kin)

This week on The Heart Of It, we were joined by John Butler and Danielle Caruana (better known on stage as Mama Kin) for a conversation that was nothing short of unforgettable. Their story is a reminder that sometimes the universe doesn’t whisper, it shouts, and from the very beginning, it was clear these two were destined to be together. What unfolded was a raw, unfiltered, and deeply honest discussion about love, family, and music. Just like their art, John and Danielle’s words were full of truth and soul. Their openness, their security in who they are and what they stand for, and the strength of their bond made this one of the most heartfelt and safe spaces we’ve ever shared. This episode is a rare glimpse into a love and partnership that’s as inspiring as the music they create.

Wow, this episode of The Heart Of It is truly one for the books. This week, we’re joined by the legendary Gina Jeffreys and Rod McCormack, who take us on a journey through their extraordinary 30+ years together, both as partners in life and in music. From unforgettable moments touring alongside icons like Johnny Cash to performing in China for an audience of 1.2 billion people, to now hosting breakfast radio. Gina & Rod's lives together are so unique. Their love of music is almost as strong as their love for each other and we were so grateful to both of them for opening up their worlds to us.

This is a love story that’s weathered the highest of highs and the challenges of long-distance lows. Amy Sheppard of the hit band Sheppard, joins us on The Heart Of It alongside her husband, Lachlan, to share the inside story of their relationship. They open up about the early days, where romance had to compete with global smash hits, appearances on Ellen, brushes with Justin Bieber, and more than a little doubt. Now, they’re happily married, more in love than ever, and are embarking on a brand-new journey to become parents through IVF. And, as if that wasn’t enough, Amy is celebrating another huge milestone, her debut solo album and we’re the very first to talk to her about it.

Cam & Ali are flying solo this week and jumping back down the rabbit hole of their proposal and first date.

Today on the podcast, we’re joined by a power couple who openly admit they’ve done everything backwards. From a whirlwind romance to having a child, even buying engagement rings months before actually getting engaged, nothing about Jack and Amanda Delosa’s story is conventional. In this episode, entrepreneur and podcast host Amanda speaks candidly about her experience with postnatal depression and why finding the right partner can feel harder than it looks. Jack, one of Australia’s leading entrepreneurs, shares how healing his inner child has been more transformative than any high-performance mindset training he’s ever undertaken. This is a raw, honest conversation about what it truly takes to build a lifelong partnership and how to weather the storms that inevitably come.

Our Nova Podcast cousins, Jadé Tunchy and Lachie Brycki, join us this week on The Heart Of It for a refreshingly candid conversation that goes far beyond their viral TikToks and huge social media following. We rewind to their childhoods, dive into cultural traditions, and explore the beautiful (and sometimes chaotic) shift into parenthood. From their hilarious first meeting at a nightclub (where Lachie jokes Jadé was “stalking” him), to the moment Lachie discovered his dad had been hiding a second language his whole life, to Jadé opening up about bullying as a kid. It was clear their were so many layers to this gorgeous couple. Their story is grounded in humour, respect, and a whole lot of love. And is proof that not taking yourselves too seriously might just be the key to making it work.

Today on the podcast, we’re joined by a couple who have weathered life’s challenges with grace, grit, and an unwavering commitment to each other. Talitha Cummins and Ben Lucas have been together for over a decade, from Talitha’s career as a news anchor to Ben’s journey as a personal trainer and studio owner, and now both navigating exciting career pivots. Their story is one of growth, resilience, and deep mutual respect. In this episode, Talitha speaks with remarkable honesty about her journey with alcoholism, while Ben shares how vulnerability and self-reflection have strengthened not only their relationship but their individual identities. This is a powerful conversation about communication, compassion, and staying connected through life’s toughest seasons.

You probably know Liam Stapleton from Nova’s Ben, Liam & Belle show or from his viral impressions that light up TikTok and Instagram. But today, we’re joined by someone who knows the man behind the mic better than anyone… his wife, Sarah. In this episode, Sarah spills the tea on Liam’s relentless persistence before they finally got together, how she copes with the non-stop Borat impressions at home, and the infamous radio love triangle story that may have gone a little too far. This one’s equal parts hilarious and heartwarming, with Liam's retelling of the romantic chaos of their engagement.  LINKS: Follow Cam @camerondaddo on Instagram Follow Ali @alidaddo on Instagram Follow Nova Podcasts @novapodcastsofficial.  Follow Liam @liamstapleton on Instagram CREDITSHost: Cam & Ali Daddo Senior Producer: Xander CrossManaging Producer: Elle Beattie  Got a question for Cam & Ali?

We’re flipping the script in today’s episode with something a little different, we’re answering your questions. Producer X (aka Xander, as we know and love him) has been collecting some listener questions, and today we’re diving in. One question that really made us stop and think was: If you could do your wedding over again, would you? The answer? Yes, but not for the reasons you might expect. What we’d change just might surprise you...
