Listener sentiment
Something To Talk About attracts listeners who value its roster of prominent and diverse Australian guests, with many praising the show's ability to elicit genuine, intimate conversations. However, sentiment is notably divided. A persistent and recurring criticism—mentioned by reviewers across multiple months—targets host Sarrah Le Marquand's interviewing technique: her questions are described as excessively long-winded and wordy, often preventing guests from answering fully or clearly. Several reviewers note they stop listening despite appreciating the guests, citing frustration with the host's tendency to talk over or dominate airtime. A separate controversy emerged in August 2025 when the podcast's interview with Erin Molan drew backlash from listeners who objected to platforming her, with some unsubscribing over editorial judgment. While strong guest selection and warm, personal conversation remain the show's strengths, the host's interviewing style represents a persistent friction point that has eroded enthusiasm even among otherwise loyal listeners.
