Life Uncut's move to LiSTNR

Nathan's appointment comes seven months after Life Uncut moved to LiSTNR, following Life Uncut's split from ARN at the end of 2025 after six years with the network. The podcast's new season launched on LiSTNR on 28 January 2026 with four episodes a week. 

At the time, Hockley and Byrne cited more than 400,000 monthly listeners, over 100 million downloads and a top 10 spot on the Triton Australian Podcast Ranker.

Britt and Laura on the hire

Hockley and Byrne confirmed the appointment, saying Nathan was joining their "small but mighty team" and would bring "experience, ideas and energy to the community." "We've got big plans, and we're excited for this next chapter," they said.

Nathan, who had followed the podcast as a listener, said she had experienced "what it's like to be a 'lifer', listening along to the pod, joining discussions in the FB group" before joining the production team. "It is an absolute privilege to now be stepping in alongside them as EP and getting to be a part of the team," she said.
