Momentum

This week, we sit down with rising star Imogen Radburn, one of Australia's most promising up-and-coming race car drivers. 

From starting go-karting at 14 to becoming the only woman competing in both Formula Ford and Formula 4 Nationally, Imogen has broken barriers and defied expectations. She takes us through her journey, from heartbreaking setbacks to unexpected opportunities, including her remarkable rookie performance in the Australian F4 Championship. 

Imogen's story is more than just racing; it's about empowering the next generation. As the former NSW Karting Ambassador and a regular advocate for Motorsport Australia's initiatives like Girls on Track and First Gear, Imogen is on a mission to inspire young women to chase their motorsport dreams. 

In this week's episode, Imogen shares her passion for breaking down the gender barriers in a sport where women are still vastly underrepresented, and how she's determined to be the role model she never had growing up. 

With incredible results and opportunities on the horizon, Imogen's journey is just getting started. 

Join Kat and Imogen for a candid conversation about the highs and lows of racing, barriers that continue to exist for female racecar drivers, and what it truly takes to make it to the top of one of the world's toughest sports.

This week on Momentum, we have an extraordinary guest who's breaking barriers and redefining what it means to be a young athlete. 

Ruby Trew is a 16-year-old Olympian skateboarder who's already making waves on the international stage. With her incredible talent, fierce determination, and passion for the sport, Ruby's not just competing — she's inspiring a new generation of skateboarders, especially young women, to chase their dreams fearlessly and aim for the Olympics at a young age. 

In this interview, we dive into Ruby's journey to Paris, the challenges she's faced along the way as a young female state boarder, and the drive that keeps her pushing beyond limits.

When you think about trailblazers in sport, it's easy to picture the biggest stadiums, the biggest crowds, and the biggest moments. 

But sometimes the most important shifts happen in spaces that haven't always been given the spotlight they deserve — until now. Today's guests are two incredible athletes who are helping lead that change. 

Shae Graham made history as the first woman to represent Australia in wheelchair rugby — a sport known for its speed, its toughness, and its incredible community. And Liliana Prucha is a rising star, part of the next generation pushing para-sport forward with grit, passion, and a serious hunger to succeed. 

Both Shae and Liliana are carving out new paths not just for themselves, but for every young athlete coming through behind them. Their stories are full of resilience, strength, and a deep love for the game — and today, we're diving into what it really means to be an elite athlete, how representation is changing the landscape for para-sport, and why the future has never looked brighter.
