About the Podcast
Join award-winning 10 News First journalist, influencer, campaigner and author Sandra Sully as she talks to inspiring, intriguing women from all walks of life who have something interesting to say.
Sandra finds out what makes these women tick, what keeps them up at night, and what really matters in a series that is at times funny, at times heartbreaking, but always real.
Listen to candid conversations with women you’ve heard of, and women you need to hear about, as they open up about their lives, struggles and triumphs.
Short Black with Sandra Sully won the Best Interview category at the 2022 Australian Podcast Awards.
Good women, great chat!
