Former Bachelor star Sam Frost has unveiled a surprising new professional venture, partnering with her Home and Away co-star Sarah Roberts to launch a podcast titled Cracking On. The duo, both aged 36 and 41 respectively, shared the exciting announcement on Instagram this Friday, marking a significant career shift for the television personalities.
Podcast Focus on Life's Challenges
In a sneak peek released shortly after the initial post, Sam Frost elaborated on the podcast's central theme. She described Cracking On as an exploration of life's major rejections and redirections, humorously noting it deals with experiences that feel like they hit you hard. The friends aim to delve into personal and professional setbacks, offering insights and stories from their own lives and those of their guests.
Celebrity Guests and Recording Details
Sam and Sarah revealed they have already recorded multiple episodes with a lineup of special guests. The roster includes notable soap stars such as Lynne McGranger and Emily Weir, alongside Australian comedian Nick Giannopoulos, actress Debra Lawrence, radio personality Myf Warhurst, and McLeod's Daughters star Michala Banas. This diverse group promises to bring varied perspectives to the podcast's discussions on resilience and change.
Background and Friendship
The pair first became close friends after both landing roles on the popular soap opera Home and Away in late 2017. Sarah Roberts portrayed the character Willow Harris until her departure in 2021, while Sam Frost played Jasmine Delaney, exiting the series the following year. Their shared experience on the show has strengthened their bond, making this collaborative project a natural progression of their friendship.
Personal Milestones and Family Life
This podcast announcement comes nearly a year after Sam Frost welcomed her second child with fiancé Jordie Hansen in April of last year. She joyfully shared the news on social media, posting black-and-white images of her newborn son, Bobby Jordan Frost-Hansen, and introducing him to his older brother, Ted, who is now three years old. In November 2024, Sam had announced her pregnancy, expressing gratitude for the healthy development of her baby and excitement from her family.
The launch of Cracking On represents a new chapter for both women, blending their entertainment backgrounds with a fresh, conversational format. Listeners can anticipate candid conversations about overcoming obstacles, with the podcast set to debut soon, as hinted by their Instagram caption, 'Cracking on. Coming soon.'
