Airing Your Dirty Laundry

In this episode of Airing Your Dirty Laundry (outside of the laundry), Daphne Berry sits down with YUNGBLUD for a raw, funny and deeply reflective conversation about identity, truth, and creative survival.
Fresh off the release of IDOLS - an album written by shutting out the noise and choosing radical honesty - YUNGBLUD opens up about losing and reclaiming his sense of self, the pressure of becoming “a million different things to a million different people,” and why making music for himself gave him a second life. From compromising early in his career to going all-in on art that scared him, he reflects on how IDOLS became the most truthful work he’s ever made - and why that same album ended up earning Grammy recognition.
The conversation dives into internet culture, self-acceptance, and the toll of constant online judgement, as YUNGBLUD speaks candidly about criticism, vulnerability, and learning to let go of the need to be liked. He also shares his creative process — writing at 4am, recording voice notes on tour, and chasing songs that feel like “bottled magic.”
YUNGBLUD teases what’s next, revealing that IDOLS was written as a 30-song project with part two coming soon, and hints at a future album that’s shorter, sexier, and built for movement. Along the way, he reflects on the power of music as a universal language, the songs that shaped him, and why the most personal work often connects the deepest.

In this episode of Airing Your Dirty Laundry, Daphne Berry sits down with Australian superstar Ruel to unpack the making of his new era and deeply personal sophomore album.At just 23, Ruel reflects on growing up in the industry after starting his career at 13, the pressure to appear “mature” long before he felt it, and how he’s finally making music that feels unmistakably true to his own taste. He opens up about the intention, honesty, and vulnerability that shaped this record - particularly his shift toward writing earnest love songs for the very first time.From breaking down the 'cringe factor' of sincerity, to exploring soulmates, maternal love, studio chemistry, and the fear of rejection that comes with collaborating in LA, RUEL shares rare insight into the emotional and artistic growth behind the new album. He also talks about letting his guard down, working with a new circle of producers, and releasing his first-ever song he didn’t write - a gift from long-time collaborator John Ryan.Daphne and RUEL dive into the moments that shaped him: missing out on a regular adolescence, navigating adulthood in the public eye, and why being alone in Los Angeles feels like “hell on earth” compared to the easy peace of being home in Australia. RUEL also reflects on Destroyer, the album’s most personal and painful track, detailing a complex childhood responsibility he’d never spoken about.Created by Daphne BerryProduced by Daphne Berry and Imogen RennieCamera & Sound Crew: Jack ShepherdEditing: Daphne BerryMusic: ReviloIllustrations: Joe Neathway BrownLogo: Samuel BurchfieldFilmed on location at The Tumble Club, WaterlooThis episode of Airing Your Dirty Laundry was filmed on Gadigal Country.

In this episode, Rob Thomas sits down with Daphne. Rob opens up about the life he lived before Matchbox Twenty ever existed - and how those early years shaped everything that came after.

He breaks down the messy breakup of Tabitha’s Secret, throwing away entire albums’ worth of songs, writing the first Matchbox Twenty record out of pure defiance, and becoming “Nickelback before Nickelback” as the band blew up seemingly overnight.Rob reflects on fame before social media, learning to grow thick skin in the era of MTV, watching icons rise around him, and what it’s like to look out into the crowd now and see generations of fans who’ve carried his music through their lives.

In this episode, Keli Holliday sits down with Daphne for an unfiltered deep dive into the moments that shaped him. From a chaotic Canberra childhood and skate-park beginnings to the teachers who changed his life, Keli opens up about the early sparks that pushed him into music. He reflects on meeting Reuben as teenagers, their unlikely friendship, and the creative partnership that followed - all the way to jumping on a bus to Sydney to chase something bigger.
Keli also speaks candidly about vulnerability, masculinity, and the women who raised him - his mum, sister, aunt, and the influence of Abbie. He shares why he advocates so fiercely for women, how his environment shaped his emotional intelligence, and the parts of manhood he believes desperately need rethinking.
