“Everyone I’ve loved, has at some stage, broken my heart” - Jeremy Fernandez

On this episode, I sit down with Jeremy Fernandez -  the steady, stylish presence anchoring the ABC’s 7pm news. Measured, thoughtful and quietly brilliant, Jeremy delivers the headlines with a calm authority that feels as smooth as butter melting into warm toast.

From arriving in Australia as a young immigrant to navigating identity, fatherhood and life in the public eye, Jeremy shares the experiences that shaped him into one of the most recognised faces in Australian media.

We talk about the recipes that carry memory, the power of representation, reporting on immigration when you’ve lived it, and why sometimes the most meaningful inheritance isn’t a headline - it’s a dish kept alive, a rainbow on demand, and the sweetness of life, even if it arrives a little later than expected.

Jeremy's social cause is Twenty 10 - who help young LGBTQI+ people build community and find safety through diverse social support programs. They provide life-saving housing, counselling, care-coordination & peer-support services as well as training programs and resources.
