Isn't that Insightful? Kumi Taguchi dives deeper into Insight's taboo topics in podcast return
11 April, 2025
Media releases
Back for season 2, Insightful host Kumi Taguchi invites past Insight TV show guests to talk about everything from sex and relationships to health, wealth and grief in this companion podcast series.
Whether unpacking the pressure of perfection with Olympian Geoff Huegill or exploring the impact of an unimaginable deceit with Di Sheehan, whose baby was stolen by authorities in the 1970s, Taguchi sits down one-on-one with guests who have previously shared their views on the toughest and most sensitive issues facing Australians. Now they dive even deeper to reveal their compelling and deeply personal stories.
Host Kumi Taguchi said, I am excited to release season 2 of the Insightful podcast and to reconnect with guests who were keen to share more of their story.
It's always such a privilege to hear from people who navigate life in their unique way. And as we have already met before, the conversations are deeply honest and authentic.
So often in the media we move on from a person or a topic, but Insightful shows us that there are always more layers to unpack.
The eight-part podcast series illuminates bold and fascinating people, featuring one guest per episode.
Listen to the extraordinary and revealing anecdotes of guests who appeared in your favourite Insight episodes:
Olympian Geoff Huegill, a 72-time international medallist, has faced his share of struggles-from the loss of his father in childhood to a drug scandal and public scrutiny. Featured in episode 21, Second Chances, Insight 2024.
Editor-in-chief at Vogue Magazine Kirstie Clements no longer looks in the mirror. She's rebelling against the uniformity of beauty today and the pursuit of physical perfection. Featured in episode 24, Looking Perfect, Insight 2024.
Chief Investigator Colleen Gwynne was at the frontline of one of Australia's most publicised murders and saw how the cops got it wrong. She now interrogates the ramifications of the case. Featured in episode 14, Trial By Media, Insight 2024.
Mianne Bagger, who prefers the description transexual' to transgender,' transitioned in the 1990s and lives on her own terms, challenging modern gender activism and labels. Featured in episode 27, The Gender Spectrum, Insight 2022.
Believing her son was dead for 40 years, Di Sheehan later discovered she had unknowingly signed adoption papers-victim to a practice that forced mothers to give up their babies. Featured in episode 16, Secrets And Lies, Insight 2024.
Former special forces soldier Heston Russell left a life of secrecy after his platoon made headlines for alleged war crimes. He discusses his life in Brisbane, 16-year military career, and his values-driven life. Featured in episode 14, Trial By Media, Insight 2024.
Phil Pyke guarded the hospital room of the Port Arthur massacre gunman. He reflects on that challenge, his police and army service, his mental health struggles, and how his golden retrievers helped him heal. Featured in episode 13, To The Rescue, Insight 2024.
A miner with four decades under his belt and a climate activist, Grant Howard is an anomaly. When he saw how much his environment was changing, he wanted to make a difference. Yet he stayed in his mining job for a while. Featured in episode 25, Odd One Out, Insight 2021.
