This episode is a little extra special, because Jess’s guest isn’t just one of our most-loved Big Talk Show regulars… he’s also her husband and one of Australia’s most respected news anchors: Peter Overton (aka Petee!). With 35 years at Channel Nine and a Silver Logie nomination, Petee’s no stranger to the spotlight, but this time you’re asking the questions. In this heartwarming (and cheeky) conversation, Pete reflects on his long career in news, what the Logie nomination really means to him, what he really thinks of Tom Cruise, the private call he once received from Bryan Henderson (which he’s never spoken about before), and his secret to staying cool under pressure. He also shares why he believes success isn’t defined by what we do, but by how we show up in the world. Expect plenty of laughs, a few mushy moments, surprise cameo questions (yes, even from Ally Langdon!), and thoughtful insights from one of TV’s kindest hearts. Know someone who'd enjoy this episode?
