Ita Buttrose had a lot of achievements under her belt when she signed on to doStudio 10in 2013.

She’d founded a little magazine calledCleo. Edited theAustralian Woman’s Weekly. Raised awareness of countless charitable causes. Just been named Australian of the Year.

But according to the Australian icon, she still hadn’t ticked off one goal. Because for a long time, she’d wanted her own talk show.

Listen to Ita talk about it here:

Ita was the first to be signed on to the show, then came Joe Hildebrand.

“Then they had to find the others, so there were a lot of auditions, lots of women came and tried out. Then they settled on Sarah. And then they had to find the other one. And Jess came back twice…and then at her final audition she was pedalling some line of thought of which we did not agree. And we could not persuade her to our line of thinking, she argued back.” Ita said.

And that was a big tick for Jess.

“We three felt that she really fitted the brief.”

And she sure does.

Since 2013, Studio 10 has continued to grow its audience. But the thing that really gets people there is the chemistry between the hosts.

As Ita said, "We all like each other, there's no bitching on that set, we all get on."
