Bridget Hustwaite is a presenter, bestselling author, podcaster and content creator. Bridget’s much-anticipated second book Figuring Out Thirty was released in January 2025, with fans and media singing its praises.
Hustwaite spent seven years at Australia’s national youth broadcaster triple j, including five years hosting her own national music program, ‘Good Nights’, finishing up in 2022. A trusted voice in the Australian music industry, Bridget has lent her expertise to the judging panels of the ARIA Awards, Music Victoria Awards, NT and WA Song of the Year Awards, and was a member of the Australian jury for the 2022 Eurovision Song Contest.
In November 2025, Bridget launched her newest project Fan to Fan, a music commentary podcast co-hosted with AFL Fremantle Captain, Alex Pearce. Covering deep dives, shared experiences, album obsessions and live shows, Bridget and Alex invite other music fans to join them in celebrating the world of music.
Bridget was thrilled to see her second book Figuring Out Thirty hit the shelves with bestseller status at retailers Dymocks and Booktopia. In the Penguin-published title, Bridget reflects generously on her own experience entering her thirties and alongside an array of contributors, shares wisdom on navigating relationships, body image, career and more.

Bridget’s bestselling first book, How to Endo, details her lived experience with endometriosis. She has spoken on her condition and chronic illness advocacy at numerous events such as the Melbourne Writers Festival, University of Melbourne Medical Student Conference and National Youth Disability Summit.
A career highlight was when Bridget had the opportunity to sit across from UK writer Dolly Alderton, as the host of her sold-out Brisbane show. Hustwaite has also frequently appeared on national television programs such as the Today Show, Today Extra and The Project – while also being a regular presenter on Victoria’s most popular travel and lifestyle show, Postcards.
