  • Josh Cunningham- Surprised by fatherhood in his 40s
    May 5 2025

    In his 40s, musician and member of beloved Aussie band The Waifs, Josh Cunningham thought perhaps the ship had sailed and he was not destined to be a father in this lifetime. However, a creative connection with fellow muso Felicity Urquhart soon became a soul connection, and Josh is now a “bonus dad” to Felicity’s two girls. In true country music style, there has been tragedy and hardship along the way, but the ending is all about harmony and family. And Josh seems to have taken to fatherhood (and dollhouse and cake making!) like a natural.

  • Larry Emdur - Nice guys finish last, or do they?
    Apr 28 2025

    Despite being the ‘most axed man on TV’ Larry Emdur is still winning Logies and celebrating his fourth decade on our screens. He’s been on Family Double Dare, The Price is Right, The Wheel of Fortune, Weekend Sunrise and has even appeared on Dancing with the Stars. These days you’ll see him on Channel Seven quiz show The Chase Australia and The Morning Show. While juggling his many different presenting roles Larry was raising two kids with his wife Sylvie. And although Larry says his career has been uncertain at times, he credits his ability to survive the media beast as something that has taught him and his kids some valuable lessons.
