Get Cereal

Louis has taken up the violin and got locked out of the house by their sister for playing a tune that apparently sounds a lot like Mary had a little lamb. Ella was killing it at trivia, struck a deal to trade answers with another team, then left early for her favourite thai place — and will never know if she could have won... Presenters: Ella Le Fournour, Sam Kelly, Louis Harrison Executive...

For World Bee Day, Sam brings in a very special guest — his dad, David Kelly, who keeps bees.

Presenters: Sam Kelly, Ella Le Fournour, Louis Harrison Executive Producers: Ella Le Fourno...

Ella got to the end of a drive and somehow an entire box of cookies had disappeared — she's not sure when it happened but the evidence was pretty clear. Louis was texting their mum on Mother's Day with an energy that can only be described as desperate ex. And Sam is having a bit of an identity crisis after getting called "unc" by people his own age. Three confessions, zero regrets.   Pr...

For the first time, Sam, Ella and Louis all finally meet live in the Cereal Box! The team share their midweek confessions before Ella attempts to break the ice by playing the umbrella game, which leaves Sam hilariously guessing the rules.

Jess, Nat and Louis sweetened the day right off the bat with a (mildly) heated debate about mint and chocolate.

This week we’re diving into an undisputed cult classic, and maybe even the greatest rom-com of all time, it’s of course How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. Safe to say someone in the studio is very excited about this one.

Sam showed up to work on a day he wasn't actually supposed to be there, and Ella forgot to check in for her flight home. Confessions that really could have been solved by checking a phone.

Sam and Ella are back in the Cereal Box for midweek confessions that are painfully relatable — Sam turned up for a shift he wasn't actually rostered on for, and Ella forgot to check in for her flight home. Two people who probably need a calendar update. In honour of national beverage day, Ella puts Sam to the test with a game where he has to guess songs with a drink in the title. Results are...

National Cartoonists Day kicks things off with a trip down memory lane — favourite childhood cartoons and the ones that maybe shouldn't be rewatched.

Spud Fest arrives with a pot...

Plus, how to get involved with Star Walking Inc. if you're a young Melburn...

It's May the 4th so there was really only one film up for discussion. The team revisits the one that started it all — A New Hope — and asks the question every rewatch eventually leads to: does it actually hold up, or are we just nostalgic? Presenters: Sam Kelly, Maddy Halford and Natalie Hung Executive Producers: Ella Le Fournour and Sam Kelly We're live weekdays on SYN from 7:30am 📻...
