TV RELOAD

'Brihony Dawson' who is the host of 'Network Ten’s' latest reality series 'The Challenge.' 'Brihony' is the first non-binary presenter to front a major TV show but they haven't exactly been plucked out of obscurity, as they have been working in media in sport and presenting for a while now but something tells me we are on the verge of seeing this person in mainstream media and along with Australia...

Australian icon 'Tim Minchin.' joins me to discuss Series 2 of his brilliant TV series 'Upright' - which drops on the 15th of November on 'Binge' and 'Foxtel.'   The scripted drama follows our two beloved misfits played by 'Tim' and 'Milly Alcock.' Following on from the first series which saw them both thrown together by chance in the middle of the Australian desert, they re-team to track down 'Me...

Today on the podcast I have 'Nigel' and 'Teresa' from 'The Traitors'  and and while both brought something different to the series - they made an impact in their own way.   I have been lucky enough to chat with many of the contestants from the 'Channel 10' series but I certainly have been looking forward to having some time with both of today’s guests. I don’t even think you need to have watched t...

Today on the podcast I have 'Australian' entertainment royalty 'Kate Langbroek.' Who after decades of radio has made a big move to television.

The show is brand new for 'Channel Nine,' it is called 'My Mum, Your Dad' and it is the latest reality TV s...

Today on the podcast I have 'ITV Studio's' Executive Producer 'Alex Mavroidakis' and he joins me for the third time on TV Reload.

Today on the podcast I have the devious 'Marielle' from 'The Traitors' and as the show gets deeper into its Murder-Mystery it would seem the noisier players are getting the boot left right and centre.  As you guys know I have been loving this new series on 'Channel 10' and I hope you’ve enjoyed these chats - as it is fascinating to go behind the scenes of this show. 'Marielle' is a law student and...

Today on the podcast I have 'Marc Fennell' who is an 'Australian' film critic, technology journalist, radio personality, author and television presenter.

Today on the podcast I have 'Angus' and 'Claire' from 'The Traitors' and let me tell you this chat brings you some serious tea from our first eliminated traitors.  I for one am loving 'Channel Ten’s' new take on the ‘who done it’ format in the reality space and I hope listeners of 'TV Reload' have given this show a go.  The Traitors hosted by 'Rodger Corser' has been fascinating from day one, as w...

Today on the podcast I have 'Oz and Omar' as guests from 'The Block: Tree Change.' The boys have been an absolute delight to watch this season also making 'Block' history by being the first 'Muslim' contestants on the show.  'Oz and Omar' love a good laugh and their bond throughout the show has been undeniable. From the minute the cameras rolled on the 2022 series you couldn’t help but enjoy their...

Today on the podcast I have 'Chloe' from 'The Traitors.' Who well and truly left her mark on 'Channel Ten’s' latest dramatic reality TV Show.  'Chloe' is a clairvoyant and while her psychic ability left her fell competitors a little skeptical - we as an audience the dramatics of her time on the show.  If you are like me - you may have been dying to see a psychic-medium on a format like this and wh...

Today on the podcast I have 'Thomas Wilson White,' who was one of the writers on the latest incarnation of 'Heartbreak High' which has been a huge hit for 'Netflix.'  Thomas is a family friend of mine and has always been an incredibly smart intelligent storyteller.

This week on the podcast I have the winner of ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race: Down Under Series 2” Spanky Jackzon. 'Spankie Jackzon' was my favourite towards the end and I absolutely adore the type of person she was on every episode. Funny, talented, warm and massively unpolished. There is something unique and brilliant with every strut she takes. I love that most of the fans didn’t see her as the favourite...
