It’s the reunion we’ve all been waiting for since they connected and cried during the ‘Wicked’ press tour. Now, with her brand new album ‘I Forgive You’ finally available to download and stream, Em reunites with one of her personal heroes, the one and only Cynthia Erivo. Together they revisit the tears that somehow had the whole world crying (or weirdly in some cases seething with anger). There’s...

Okay, Em and Abbie are back to give you even more of their fabulous chat. Obviously if you haven't already listened to part one of Em’s conversation with Abbie, please do. In part two we begin with Abbie answering Em’s question on what she wants to do next with her career. That folds effortlessly into the realities of trying to sell a live show in a cost of living crisis, from Abbie’s partner Adam...

This is glorious and we just know you’re gonna eat it up! Obviously with Abbie Chatfield hosting her second season of ‘FBoy Island’ on Binge, we wanna get that chat out the way, but first Em has questions about Abbie’s new man and why she calls him Keith. After we’ve got all the goss on the new partnership it’s onto ‘FBoy Island’, at the time of recording Em had only seen the first 2 episodes but...

It’s the episode that die hard Emsolators have clearly been waiting on, because after we put out the call for questions, we received almost 100 of them in less than 24 hours. Ahead of her sold out show at the Palais this Friday, Em is on throat rest so Michael Lucas steps into the hosting chair with his husband Adrian so they can answer all your relationship questions. First though there’s breakin...

Whilst Em and Michael probably wanted to be very demure and very mindful during this episode, we kind of kiss that notion bye bye almost immediately because Em hasn’t even gotten a chance to have her Brat summer yet! The fact that Em’s very sick and it feels like her entire body is in revolt right now probably doesn’t help things much either. Naturally we’ve got a full recap of the Logies, from Mi...

We begin this episode reminding you to vote for Michael’s nominees from ‘The Newsreader’ in the Logie Awards and of course Em’s bestie Julia Morris, who’s NEVER won a Logie! Then we need to talk about someone announcing their upcoming Arena Spectacular, it’s Em, she’s taking over MC (Mariah Carey) Arena, Saturday December 7, to deliver ‘Outgrown the Arena Spectacular’, with side quests on Chappell...

He’s one of Em’s closest friends and he’s back to talk us through his upcoming tour ‘Rob Mills Performs the Songs of Bon Jovi’, celebrating 40 years of Bon Jovi. The fact that it just happens to be on at exactly the same time as Em’s Outgrown tour needs discussion, so does the fact that when Rob told Em he was doing this tour, her response was “WHY?”. There’s also chat around Rob’s need for Em to...

We open with another round of updates from behind the scenes of Em’s Outgrown tour, from more mind blowing reviews, to meeting the owner of our most vomit inducing ‘AMA’ in Adelaide, all the way to becoming Sarah Connor and seeing a former Idol while performing in WA. Then we move onto all of the unhinged stuff that’s continuing to be offered up by US Politics, from VP nominee JD Vance attacking c...

Before we get the introduction out there’s a bunch of dragon and mediaeval peen chat to deliver, then we’re straight into what went down when Em took her Outgrown Tour to NSW over the weekend. It wouldn’t be an Em Rusciano Live show in Sydney without there being ambulances called, this time the drama went down at Em’s Thirroul show. You’ll get the full explain and all of the dramatic events before...

It’s the gunshot that’ll change the political landscape in America, and you better believe Em has been on a hyperfixation trail all night trawling the deep dark recesses of the world wide web for as much info as she can get. That’s why this episode starts with a flurry and doesn’t slow down for the first half an hour, as Em and Michael talk through the assassination attempt on Donald Trump in deta...

We begin this episode with Michael up on his high horse (actually a chair) and delightfully high on Endone, so expect less “to be fair” and more unfiltered Lucas. It's his first episode since his hip replacement and he has updates and feedback to share, including whether or not he and Adrian have managed to throw a newly attached leg over one another or not. Then it’s onto the news that the ‘Wicke...

Hollow shell of a human incoming, it’s been a LOT recently so Em is coming in like Joe Biden at a Presidential debate, which we will discuss within this episode. To begin though we need to acknowledge Michael’s Logie noms for ‘The Newsreader’ and the blandness of the Gold Logie nominees again this year, aside from Julia Morris and Tony Armstrong of course. Then we need to talk through the utter bi...

They’re the reviews you’ve never seen, recorded in 2023 but never broadcast visually, now you get to witness Em and Michael’s full facial reactions as they review some of our favourite streaming moments from last year. Inside you’ll get to witness them gush over that 4-part doco series on the life and career of David Beckham with ‘Beckham’. Then we get the full gobsmacked reaction to Ghost Diana a...

It’s the story musical theatre nerds have been frothing over, everyone else, not so much. Which is why Em is here to rectify that ASAP ploise! Jemma Rix is one of Australia’s most loved leading ladies of musical theatre, having starred in the stage versions of ‘Frozen’, ‘Ghost’, ‘The Wizard of Oz’, and most famously as ‘Elphaba’ in ‘Wicked’. It’s no secret that ‘Wicked’ is Em’s emotional support m...

Welcome to Michael’s petty era, he’s come in raging over an article asserting that Season 3 of his hit TV series ‘The Newsreader. Rumours that the series is wrapping up because his cast don’t wanna do it anymore are false, and the truth is he never planned to go beyond a third season ever. Cut to Michael calling the article's creators to have it adjusted (something Em was never able to do when fak...

We open with a tease for Michael’s guitar playing skills and then dive head first into recounting an incident involving Em and her hubby Scott. An incident where Scott pretty much chose violence and talked his way into inspiring Em to grab a pair of scissors and go after the wheels of his bike. After that it’s onto Lady Gaga finally releasing the Chromatica concert tour video that she has since re...

After questioning the level of effort Michael applies to his outfit for recording the podcast, which seems to be not very much at all, we dive into Em’s review of ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’. There’s some standing ovation chat around the Cannes screening of ‘Furiosa’ and Demi Moore’s new movie getting an 11-minute standing ovation too. Then it’s onto episode 3 of Em’s new podcast ‘Anomalous with Em...

It would seem we’ve hit a teensy hurdle in the planning for Michael’s Hip Hoorah Disco Cowboy themed party, he’s got the Orville Peck inspired pink cowboy outfit, but as he’s seeing out his crusty old hip, Michael’s keen to wear a comfortable sneaker and forgo a cowboy boot. Em is having none of it, offering up a variety of alternative options, including some that don’t actually exist, while Micha...

Yaas, Em’s new podcast ‘Anomalous with Em Rusciano’ is out and it’s being received exactly as Em hoped it would be, with much accolades, appreciation and divine voice notes and reviews. Michael is due to have hip replacement surgery soon, so to see out his crusty old hip joints, he’s throwing himself a blow out dance party/celebration with the theme ‘Disco Cowboy’. Naturally Em has already been in...

It’s a return to our favourite combo, another mother daughter episode as Em’s eldest Marchella steps in for Michael Lucas. We begin with Chella disowning her own father’s last name and an explain on why she has a deeper voice than Em. Then Em reveals she gave in and watched the entire series of ‘Baby Reindeer’ and she is NOT OKAY! After being told in our previous episode by Michael and Chella to a...

Your commitment to a theme dress for Em’s ‘Outgrown’ tour, and a round of singing old school TV themes gets us underway this week. Then there’s Royal orgy news from Rebel Wilson, which gets interrupted with side-quests into Em’s mum Jenni and her latest spending spree involving a giant tree, a crane and her iPad, plus bat tennis and an ‘It’s A Knockout’ rejection, before Em loses interest. We then...

We begin by revisiting Em and Michael’s teenage hotmail addresses, their lack of flirting skills and how much they were actual virgins in their early days. We even get a bonus retelling of Em’s fave story about Michael’s most tragic love rejection. Then Em gets Michael to give us an update on his Mum’s journey into herbal remedies, which turns out to be a little bit of a letdown. We also get a ful...

To get things happening this week, Michael gets the intro right, then there’s updates from Mum land, with news that Em’s Mum could end up being a juror on a court case and Michael’s Mum is ready to start her journey into the wonderful world of medicinal herbal drops for the aches and pains in her skeleton. After that Em is campaigning for everyone to leave JoJo Siwa alone, first though she’ll have...

We start with the fact Em has a cold sore, but we’re not actually allowed to acknowledge it, or look at it, we also have issues with the use of the word ‘awareness’ instead of ‘acceptance’ in the labelling of ‘Autism Awareness Day’. There’s a negative Airbnb review to reflect, then we get into Elio’s Easter origin and Easter bunny questions, and his issues with his Easter Egg Hunt, plus Michael re...
