Okay Diva

Episode 49: We're rating every look from Met Gala 2026!! GIRL let's be clear, there were alot that completely missed the assignment and others who changed the game. The theme was "Fashion Is Art". We break down who understood it and who showed up in a basic gown thinking they nailed it. Beyoncé returned to the Met Gala after a 10-year absence as co-chair, wearing a sheer crystal...

Episode 48 features Ashanti ; actress, YouTuber, writer, and the most passionate hockey fan you'll ever meet. We dive deep into "Heated Rivalries," the gay hockey romance show taking over the internet, debate whether the actors are actually dating, and break down why Hudson Williams is absolutely a bottom. Ashanti walks us through her hockey obsession , from NHL teams to the 2026 Oly...

This is our Madonna tribute. We break down the Queen of Pop's most iconic eras, debate why she's still the blueprint every pop star is chasing, and ask the question: can anyone reach Madonna-level impact in 2026? We walk through Material Girl, Vogue, True Blue, Confessions on a Dance Floor, and preview Confessions 2 (dropping soon). We discuss Madonna's fierce marketing genius like tak...

Episode 46 features actor, writer, and producer Yianni, who currently is on stage with Brock in a Brisbane production. Classically trained, working across theater, and fully convinced he's not a diva. We spend the episode proving him wrong. Yianni argues he's too paranoid, too concerned with what people think, too aware of how he's perceived to qualify as a diva. Brock counters: sendin...

This episode is CHAOTIC diva deep chat, tearing apart the choppiest clubs in brisbane and about 47 different topics but all of them ate. Sam just finished the final script for their folklore proof of concept short film after working through absolute HELL, Brock's writing his own horror script, and we both spiral into manifestation talk because we've been seeing angel numbers everywhere (11...

Episode 44 is Journalism with Jordie. We sit down with Jordan Lamont, journalist and absolute diva who's out here redefining what news can look like. She talks about going from internship into full journalism career, but not in the way you'd expect. Jordan's not trying to write 2000-word articles that three people will read she's frontiering social media-first journalism, shortform...

Episode 43 of the Podcast is pure no thoughts head empty energy. We start with me getting publicly dragged into the shame corner for slandering Brock's choppy yet clocky comfort show. Pivot to Spider-Man and Doomsday theories, Sadie Sink MCU casting drama, and whether the multiverse era is cooked or about to serve. Then I casually mention something absolutely WILD about my childhood that invol...

Sitting down with Lisa No License, the lesbian jester and Brisbane drag/ burlesque ICON, Translink's worst nightmare, and a bad b!tch with an unhinged employment history. This girl has done EVERYTHING. Stage rigger? Check. Film industry? Purr. Stripper? girl YES. Stripper... manager? babe come on now. And why she got fired from Fishbowl after ONE DAY, girl we get ALL the tea. Lisa spills on th...

We're talking about our dreams! In Episode 41, Brock and I finally sit down and talk about where we actually see ourselves going. The dreams we have, the films I want to direct, the roles Brock wants to play, where we'll be in a year, two years, five years, when we're dead. I talk about the kind of director I want to be, the stories I need to tell, the films that live in my head rent f...

Episode 40. We made it. And we're coming for the robots. To celebrate our 40th episode, we invited Tom Wilson — singer-songwriter, artist, long-time collaborator, and living proof that real human creativity will always beat whatever the fuck AI is trying to do. This episode could have been about Tom's music, their songwriting, and their time at an LA retreat with legends who've written...

In Episode 39 of Okay Diva, Sam shows up wine drunk in a blonde wig doing a British accent for no reason, and Brock just... rides the storm like the professional diva he is. We were SUPPOSED to talk about dream weddings. We did not talk about dream weddings. Instead: cat piss carpet trauma, Sam's running (fitness icon era), going full Karen on an insurance company, what inanimate object's...

Welcome back divas! This week takes a WILD turn as Sam discovers he's accidentally ended up on Epstein conspiracy Twitter—and the algorithm thinks we're full-blown conspiracists now. We spiral through whether we're being propagandized, how support groups for government victims are liking our tweets, and what it means when you tweet "feeling so 2109" and conspiracy theorists t...

We survived Laneway. Barely. Iconically. In Episode 37 of Okay Diva, Brock and I debrief from St. Jerome's Laneway Festival on the Gold Coast, QLD — our Chappell Roan live experience (life-changing, tears were shed, we're different people now), festival culture as a concept, and what it's like being total divas in mosh pits (chaotic, necessary, spiritually correct).We break down Lanewa...

Reality TV doesn't know what's coming. But it should be scared. In Episode 36 of Okay Diva, Brock and I sit down to discuss the inevitable: our complete domination of reality television . We break down our Traitors strategy (unhinged, genius, would absolutely work), explain exactly how we'd devour RuPaul's Drag Race (runway? eaten. confessionals? iconic. challenge wins? excessive), and detail the...

History was made. Okay Diva finally has a guest! In Episode 35, we welcome our first guest ever — the legendary Bridie Shield (@the.divadiaries / @bridieshield), radio host at 4ZZZ's The Hot Spot (@thehotspot4zzz), diva hunter, and absolute champion of Australian music and local artists. Bridie is the creative force behind the viral "Who Is This Diva?" series — tracking down Brisbane...

2016 is back. Whether you're ready or not. In Episode 34 of Okay Diva, Brock and I dive deep into 2016 nostalgia — unpacking what 2016 actually was, what it meant culturally, and why the internet is suddenly obsessed with it again. Was 2016 really the golden year everyone claims? Or are we romanticising chaos? Is 2026 the new 2016? We investigate. We talk 2016 pop culture , 2016 music , 2016 aesth...

This episode was inevitable. In Episode 33 of Okay Diva, Brock and I sit down and do the unthinkable: we expose our biggest unhinged diva moments. The receipts. The behaviours. The things that explain why we are like this. What starts as a laugh quickly turns into a full psychological excavation. We drag each other, relive moments that should’ve stayed buried, and come to terms with the fact that...

This week on Okay Diva, we're diving deep into romance tropes — specifically the ones that live rent-free in queer cinema and absolutely wreck us emotionally every single time. Brock and I break down our favourite love story archetypes: forbidden love, enemies to lovers, childhood friends to lovers, the slow burn, the miscommunication chaos, and everything in between. We talk which tropes hit...

Happy New Year divas 🎆 Episode 31 is our official New Year reset — which means goals, aspirations, pop culture predictions, and a terrifying amount of confidence. This week, Brock and I sit down to talk what we’re manifesting for the year ahead, the films and music we’re already emotionally invested in, and the artists we’re betting everything on for 2026. Vision boards were implied. Delusion was...

Alright divas, it’s officially our Christmas episode AND our 30th episode , which feels fake but here we are 🎄✨ This week Brock and I are leaning fully into festive chaos as we celebrate Episode 30 of Okay Diva with a very diva-coded Christmas special. No syllabus, no Divaology homework — just end-of-year vibes, holiday reflections, unserious takes, and whatever tangents feel correct in the mome...

This week on Okay Diva, we continue to wrap up the year — and this week we cover the best movies and TV shows of 2025. Brock and I go through the films and series that defined our year: the undeniable slays, the surprise hits, the moments that lived rent-free in our brains, and the ones we absolutely will not stop talking about. It’s taste, cinema and insane cultural moments. 🎬 Year-end rankings...

Sam finally takes control of the podcast — and immediately accuses Rihanna of having a lisp, attempts to expose Brock’s most evil personality traits, and declares normiecore a punishable offence. This episode goes off the rails within minutes. What was meant to be a “planned discussion” turns into a full diva inquisition: pop culture allegations with no proof, moral grandstanding, getting even ins...

This week’s mid-week bonus episode is sponsored by absolutely nothing except the fact that I skulled an OxyShred before recording and unlocked a level of hyper-clarity nobody was prepared for — least of all Brock. Brock tried to lightly roast me, which accidentally activated my Hookup Lore Dump Mode , and suddenly I’m telling stories I’ve kept buried deeper than my savings account. Plus: the unfil...

We let Spotify do the talking and the receipts are iconic. This week Brock and I unseal our Spotify Wrapped and — surprise — the algorithm gagged us with the truth. We go track-by-track through our top genres, the songs we looped in secret, and artist obsessions who dominated our year. Sam’s hot take energy? Entirely fuelled by that theatrically chaotic pop genius who made cow-core a mood and who'...

This week on Okay Diva, we’re entering our Pop Culture Double Feature Era — because both Stranger Things and Wicked Part 2: For Good drop this week, and we simply had to open our big diva mouths about it. We kick things off with a full Wicked Part One recap: the slays, the choices, the wigs, the moments that lived rent free, and the moments that should’ve stayed in the drafts. Then we dive headfir...
