Separate Bathrooms

In today’s episode of Separate Bathrooms, Cam and Ali are shifting focus from romantic to platonic love. For the first time, it’s a friendship taking centre stage, not a romance! Join The Age and SMH lifestyle editor and author of Just Friends: On the Joy, Power and Influence of Friendship, Gyan Yankovich, along with her friend, author and returning guest, Gina Rushton, for an insightful exploration of friendship. Listen as they share their own friendship 'love story,' and discuss the lack of language and milestones for friendships compared to romantic relationships. They also chat friendship breakups and breakdowns, male vs. female friendships, and how life can be richer when romantic relationships aren’t the main focus.

Writer Kerri Sackville and her partner Mike join Cam and Ali in the bathroom today — learn why we'll be inspecting the toothpaste tube once they leave! In her books, and as a columnist for the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age, Kerri has documented her journey through marriage, divorce and years of dating in mid-life. Her most recent book The Secret Life of You: How a bit of alone time can change your life, relationships, and maybe the world is about embracing solitude. But in learning to be content by herself, Kerri also found love. There's much to learn from Kerri and Mike's unconventional love story. Listen as they discuss dating in mid-life, the distinction between loneliness and solitude, why being single is better than being with the wrong person, and Kerri's quirky method of cutting bread.

Cam and Ali are hosting an iconic Australian show-biz couple in the bathroom today.

The couple also discuss keeping their relationship (and marriage) a secret on set, how marriage is similar to a corporation, the changing attitudes towards soap opera acting, and why they don't care about 'keeping romance alive'.

In a bathroom first, Siobhan and Rich join Cam and Ali to delve into the world of ethical non-monogamy.

"After 10 days, I went back to London and said I've met a girl... I'm moving to Australia." A classically trained chef at the top of his game in the UK, Bake Off Australia's Darren Purchese had low expectations for his chance visit to Brisbane in 2004. He didn't expect to fall in love with Australian food – and an Australian girl, fellow chef Cath Caringbold. Join Darren and Cath as they step out of the kitchen and into the bathroom. On top of their dramatic meeting story and plenty of mouth-watering food chat, the couple talk working and spending all their time together, the difference between English and Australian scones, making tea for the queen, and how, for these chefs, there is no secret sauce... except maybe Darren's chilli crisp.

Some of the most important, profound relationships in our lives are not romantic. While today's guests share 'rare' chemistry and a partnership that has carried them through tough times, in a bathroom first, they're in what some call a 'work marriage'. If you're familiar with Melbourne breakfast radio duo Jase Hawkins and Lauren Philips, you might know they've weathered some dramatic highs and lows together. Join Cam and Ali as they learn about the couple's 'seedy' first meeting, their turbulent start in radio, building on-air chemistry and off-air trust, finding the line when mining their romantic partners for content, and a prank call to Justin Timberlake that went sideways.
