Emsolation

Yes we are still on break, but that won’t stop us from giving you treats in the form of downloadable delights like this one. Up first, a full update from Em on her holiday adventures with & without her family in Porty D, which is Em’s new suggested moniker for Port Douglas. Probs more chance than fetch we guess. Finally we take you to Michael straight after he attended the premiere of ’Baz Luhrman...

While Em takes a little holiday in the sun, she’s arranged a little surprise listening for your ears. This little audio something, something is probably best revealed by having a listen, after all, what’s better than hearing what your treat is, than to hear it revealed by Em herself, so press play and enjoy the ride.

All of the dramatic music stabs you didn’t know you needed are stuffed in this episode, so prepare to be shook by their dramatic inclusion, plus a bunch of other favourite random audio grabs as well…fuggin hell. Obviously Em and Michael are totes keen to let their political nerd flags fly and talk through their version of the AFL Grand Final, the 2022 Federal Election. Em and Michael spent Electio...

Sadly the topless effort from the Top End involves Barnaby Joyce, so let’s forget about freeing the nipple and try and wipe that mental image from our minds as we dive into another episode of Emsolation. This week Michael comes in early and joins Em for the introduction, which weirdly throws Em off, speaking of throwing peeps off, Em now has access to a soundboard, so expect an abundance of random...

How do we follow up last week’s hugely successful wang filled edition of the podcast? Simple really, we start by talking Madonna’s latest endeavour, she’s moving into NFTs! Yeah we don’t really get it either, but that won’t stop Em and Michael from pretending they know all about it and giving us a rendition of ‘Vogue’ too. Then we move onto Maverick, as in Tom Cruise revisiting his character Maver...

Despite the title, underwear is a topic of this week’s episode, and naturally if underwear is a topic of conversation, then so too is wang. Yes, once again we are all about the letter D and in abundance as well. This time around Em and Michael sit down to talk Em’s favourite news story of the week, the man with a penis attached to his arm. Before we get there though, Em get’s triggered by Michael’...

There’s so much campery to be had in this week’s episode so huzzah to that and meh to the patriarchy. To begin with we need to talk about the new life changing queer teen rom-com that Em and Michael can’t get enough of called ‘Heartstopper’. It’s the kind of show Em and Michael wished they got to see when they were teenagers, they had deep feels and Michael relives the first time he kissed a man....

Are we ready to help Em unpack some feels around her appearance on the second season of Australian Idol? Abso-bloody-lutely we are, but first up we need to check in on Em’s recovery after Michael hexed her with the ‘rona at our 2nd Birthday Extravaganza. Harry Styles performed at Coachella on the weekend, so we need to allow time to froth out over that. Plus, as previously alluded to, we’ll also d...

Are we recovering from our 2nd Birthday Extravaganza? Indeed we are. Is this a recap episode? Well kinda sorta, but it also has fresh shiny new things as well. So let’s get the recap stuff out the way, we give you all the highlights from our most listened to episode in our 2 year history. So expect maximum 365 DNI/Days recapping, huzzah for added wang chat. Then we offer up the fresh and shiny new...

Strap yourselves in Emsolators because we are stuffed to the brim and wandering all over the shop. This episode features the Gold Coast, super spreader events, Formula 1, hectic pottery chat, peeps turning on our smirking PM, a human octopus prediction, Grammy Award realness, and even Michael singing more Barbra Streisand for us. There’s also some on point advice in our intro, plus the full reveal...

It’s the one thing you’ve all been waiting to hear. No not Em and Michael’s thoughts on that Oscar slap between Will Smith and Chris Rock, but yes you will hear ALL their thoughts on the Academy Awards, plus there’s the heavy breathing of Season 2 of Bridgerton to cover off. However the one thing we know you’ve all been waiting to hear is the big reveal on the secret Em teased in last week’s episo...

We did have other options for the episode title this week, in fact ‘The Premier’s Pecs’ even gets a shout out in the actual show but during the edit we decided some ‘Hot Ghost Sex’ would be way better. Before we get down with the ghost though, we gotta get down with the latest update on last week's vent about someone who still shan't be named or advised of his appearance in said podcast. It would...

Yeah they sure do, especially when you’re high on cold and flu tablets and running on zero sleep, so keep your lips sealed and don’t be telling peeps about what goes down inside this episode or it’s sutures and needles for you. You’ll understand what that’s all about when we get into this week’s chat with Michael. After the great unload of 2022, it’s on to our Prime Minister, where we cover off wh...

How gay is it? Well we start with Em and Michael doing a deep dive on the Madonna Boot Camp that Madonna is holding to find the actor who will play her in the visual autobiography movie of her life, so Madonna. Then there’s the TV shows they’ve been watching to distract them from the state of the world right now, like the new Vikings: Valhalla show Em is into, where hot bearded men smash into each...

We are face to face, in the same room, breathing each other's air, making eye to eye contact without the help of Zoom, FINALLY! It was freakin’ ace, you had to be there obvs, thankfully you will be, because you’ll hear all about it and get our blissful happy vibes through the speakers/headphones, so HUZZAH! Lets have at it shall we. Obviously there’s heaps of meh happening around the planet right...

We are FINALLY in our new studio, although that “we” doesn’t include Em’s high school bestie and co-host Michael, he’s still phoning it in via Zoom whilst doing romantic getaway things in Tasmania with his husband Adrian, but more on that later. We start with Em being totes profesh in the surrounds of the new Emsolation office, which also means she now gets interrupted by adults instead of her tod...

Okay here’s our recording scenario this week, it’s our final episode recorded at home so we find ourselves joining Em in her wardrobe on a Zoom chat with Michael (fun fact, this is exactly how the Emsolation podcast all started, or maybe that's an obvious fact, anyway full circle and all that shit). It’s also being done late on a Tuesday night because Wednesday this week was all about Em taking ti...

Full disclosure, that podcast title above is a lie, we will actually make reference within this episode to our current Prime Minister, but you can rest assured we aren’t exactly filled with any excitement or want to do it. Surprisingly, or not, the last 7 days have given us even more shocking revelations to follow on from last week’s news that people within our Government have accused Scott of bei...

The F.F.S. needs explaining because that acronym in our title could be used a bunch of ways (FACTS! Google its meaning and prepare to be inundated) anyway you’ll obviously work out which way we’re using it by the time you get to the end of the episode. To start though, let's use the potty mouth version of the acronym F.F.S. for the recording of our intro because some rando living near Em decided t...

Is it sweaty in here? You bet your deodorant absorbing pits it is! We really got our sweat on recording this episode, so why not make our episode title sweat soaked as well. A heads up for Emsolators listening from outside Australia, it is currently summer down under, the world is on toast environmentally, so of course the heatwaves we’ve been experiencing around the country feel biblical and neve...

Did you miss us? Probs not because we did give you a bunch of interviews for our Summer Series, but then again, probs did a little bit right? Let’s face it, nothing beats our unique offering of mental side quests, wang chat, pop culture such and such, and all of the other things we deem worthy of cramming into your listening holes. So if you're ready to allow us to shove more of that into your hea...

Anyone feeling burnt out right now? If the image of a once mighty gum tree with the centre all hollowed out and scorched from a bushfire springs to mind, then the answer is probably “yep”, or a drawn out “duuuuh”, or even a “no shit Sherlock”. Thankfully this episode will give you some much needed relief, insights, advice and recognition for all you’ve been navigating over the last few years. Jami...

Are you ready for more delightful chit chat action with another glorious big feeling light seeker? We bloody well hope so, this time around Em is sitting down to talk with actress, writer, director, playwright, composer and all round legend Virginia Gay. If you love a medical drama as much as Em does, then you no doubt first heard of Virginia via her performance as Gabrielle Jaeger on ‘All Saints’...

This is a conversation that Em has been wanting to give you for ages, she even made it onto the wall of peeps Emsolation are obsessed over during our recent live Christmas special. As regular listeners to Emsolation would know, Em and Michael have a rather large obsession with Melissa Leong and her co-hosts on Masterchef. In fact, there’s entire sections of the podcast devoted to how she manages t...

It’s bonus episode time, ya huh we’re dropping an extra episode this week, which is why we’re sitting here awaiting your listening pleasure on a Tuesday! I know right, so exciting, anyway this naturally means that Em will be back, as per usual, on Thursday for an amazing little chat with Melissa Leong from Masterchef. Today though it’s all about giving Em’s high school bestie, Michael Lucas a chan...
