Today on the podcast I have Masterchef Australia’s latest eliminated contestant Ali. Ali is the 10th eliminated contestant but certainly made an impact. From the start I have been keenly watching Ali take on the competition. Her attitude up until this point has been really endearing and I did feel like she would go further. We will talk about her thoughts on Fans vs Favourites, what she thinks mig...

Today on the podcast I have Big Brother newbie Lulu. This pint sized Brazilian has been shaking things up inside the 2022 house and its time to unpack her BB experience.

Things were not always easy for this Brazilian but with song or two and passion for the competition Lu...

Today on the podcast I have Trevor Butler. The latest O.G to be booted from the Big Brother house. Trevor back in 2004 won the series and was the only housemate to walk away with one million dollars. $$$$$$$ Trevor was one of the funniest contributors to the old Big Brother series and Big Brother fans were dying to see him back on the show to see how he would play the game this time around.  We ta...

Today on the podcast I have the 'Winner of The Voice Australia 2022' contestant, Lachie Gill. I managed to catch Lachie in the car on his whirl-wind trip of Australian media - we caught up over his win on Sunday night. Which he is still reeling from.

Today on the podcast I have Layla Subritzsky back too soon as she has come out of the Big Brother house. Obviously we only spoke a few weeks ago but I didn’t want to miss having a chat post show.

As I mentioned the other day I have had covid so I am a bit late with this chat - this will be the last catch-up chat and I will be back with this...

Today on the podcast I have Lara who last week we saw exit the Big Brother house. The Channel Seven series promised us a new bread of housemate and I honestly believe we have never seen anyone like Lara before. I chatted with Lara straight after her eviction but I have to confess - I did have “The covid” at the time and so it has taken me a while to publish this chat. I didn’t want to miss the opp...

Today on the podcast I have one of the latest eliminated Masterchef Australia contestant Melanie. I am so excited to share this chat with you today as Melanie was super fun and she is excited to share with you what is coming up for her in the cooking world.

Today on the podcast I have Natalie Bassingthwaighte who is one of the biggest all rounders - when it comes to the arts. You would know her songs, seen her acting, bought her clothing and sat in her theatre shows but I doubt you have ever seen her like in this latest project on ABC’s Space 22.  This shows features 7 Australians' taking on specially designed art workshops to see if that will improv...

Today on the podcast I have Tully Smyth who this week entered the Big Brother house. The 'mother of all reality shows' is now well and truely into its second week of mayhem on Channel Seven.  So I thought this would be a great time to catch up with my friend Tully and get the inside scoop on her latest soirée back on reality TV.

Today on the podcast I have 2nd evictee Mel from Big Brother 2022: Back to the Future. Which is now on Channel 7. From Monday to Wednesday. The first cut is often the deepest - but as Mel left the competition I can’t help but wonder if Sheryl Crow should have sung it is the second cut? I wonder what else we could have gained from Mel's experience had she stayed a little longer.. Mel was a beacon o...

Today on the podcast I have two of Channel Ten’s Masterchef Australia favourites. It is John and Christina.

From iconic winners like Reggie Bird, Trevor Butler & Tim Dormer, returning favourites like oats a la Layla and Estelle. They have found people who we in...

Today on the podcast I have Max from the current series of Masterchef Australia.. Max is a testament to one of my favourite theories, to never give up and try and try again, His persistence to getting on the most successful cooking show in the world was more than admirable and I think a lot of buddying contestants should take a page from his book - or a recipe from his cook-book. LOL The competiti...
