Really Interesting Women

The Podcast

Episode 149 Myf Warhurst

Myf Warhurst is a beloved Australian broadcaster, television presenter, journalist, writer, and podcaster whose career has spanned nearly three decades.

Known for her warmth, wit, and extensive knowledge of music and pop culture, she has become, I’m prepared to make the call, a household name.

She started her career as a journalist for music publications which led to a gig on Triple J radio and then Triple M, which led to her being a team captain on the cult tv show Spicks and Specks. She is a host on Eurovision and was the narrator on Rocky Horror Show – I mean, the list is not only incredible...it’s almost endless. In particular we chatted about another cult show she’s been an integral part of, Bluey.

And the words that keep cropping up when describing Myf Warhurst? Authentic and relatable. And those things have gained her a lot of fans over the decades. And I reckon those qualities might have started developing themselves in Myf a long time ago, because she grew up in regional Victoria and that had a profound impact on her and shaped her career.

Amongst other things, it instilled in her a deep appreciation for music, community, and storytelling that would become the foundation of her very successful work in Australian media.

Whether you’re a long-time fan or just discovering her, Myf Warhurst’s story is great and really worth listening to. She’s learnt a lot on her journey in an industry which is not always known for the longevity of its participants. Myf is an exception. And when you hear our conversation, you’ll understand why.
