Why we are so fascinated by high-profile people

From sporting icons to tech moguls, there appears to be a fervent interest in high-profile people and what makes them tick.
Now, a new podcast is diving into the inner sanctum of some of the world’s most intriguing personalities.
Jacqui Felgate discusses her new podcast on Today. Today
Jacqui Felgate hosts Fascinated and she told Today, unlike her role hosting on 3AW, the podcast gets a lot more time to really speak with the guests she has on.
“I just love to have a good chat with interesting people, so I’ve really enjoyed taking a deep dive,” Felgate said.
However, Felgate revealed there is one genre of guest you likely won’t ever see appearing on Fascinated.
“On Drive (3AW), we talk to politicians, we talk about issues that matter to Melburnians and Australians, so this is nice to actually sit down and have a laugh for a change,” she said.
So she said there are no interviews about crime or politics on the Fascinated podcast.
“I’ll leave that to you, Karl, Pauline Hanson is absolutely banned on my show,” she laughed.
Fascinated with Jacqui Felgate debuts today and you can listen wherever you download your podcasts or watch on YouTube.
We’d love to hear from you
