    Suzi Quatro is the definition of a rock star; the 75 year old has just released her eighteenth album Freedom and shows no sign of slowing down. She joins Jess for an in-depth chat about everything from keeping her ego in check, her obsession with Elvis Presley and exactly how she continues to feel sexy (and how you can too).

    Our First Female Governor-General: Dame Quentin Bryce, and her Biographer Juliet Rieden

    22/04/2026 | 48 mins.
    Dame Quentin Bryce has lived a life of firsts; she was our first female Governor-General, the first women accepted to the Queensland Bar, and the first woman to be appointed to the faculty at T. C. Beirne School of Law at the University of Queensland, to name a few. And we're lucky enough to have this trailblazer as a guest on her first ever podcast!

    Together with her biographer Juliet Rieden, author of 'Quentin Bryce', she joins Jess to talk about her remarkable life; from meeting the Queen, the importance of beauty, laughter and and female friendship, and what ageing means to her.

    Sky and Amanda Roberts: Virginia Giuffre's family on Epstein, Andrew, and her incredible legacy

    15/04/2026 | 53 mins.
    Virginia Giuffre was a survivor, activist, mother, and treasured family member to her brother Sky, and sister-in-law Amanda. One year ago, after years of tireless campaigning and activism for fellow survivors of sexual abuse, she died by suicide. Since her death, Sky and Amanda have continued her important work through SOAR, her non profit, and they join Jess to speak about their experience losing Virginia, their thoughts on Jeffrey Epstein's death and former Prince Andrew's arrest, and most importantly, what their wonderful sister was like.
    To support Sky and Amanda's important work, you can find their Go Fund Me here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-virginia-giuffres

    The alleged experiences and allegations being discussed in this interview are the personal accounts, opinions and recollections of my guests, based on their own understanding of events. They are not established facts about any individual.
    In particular, references to Virginia Giuffre, her marriage, and her husband Robert involve highly sensitive and disputed matters.
    In 2015 Robert Giuffre was charged with domestic violence offences and pleaded guilty in Colorado. He has also been charged with firearm and driving offences in Western Australia.
    There are other allegations made in this conversation that Robert Giuffre has not been charged with, nor found guilty of, any offence relating to the allegations of abuse being described here. Any mention of such allegations should be understood as unproven claims, not findings of a court.

    Welcome to the Big Talk Book Club!

    This is a special little series within The Jess Rowe Big Talk Show, where we still skip the

    spark big feelings, juicy questions, and honest reflections.

    fiction, telling stories of women who have previously remained untold. The focus of our
