Pre-season Welcome To The Real Housewives Of Sydney (S08E11 - Ep173)
February 20, 2017 23:20 - 2 minutes - 1.93 MBA sneak peek at what Nic & Molk have planned for this season of the Real Housewives of Sydney...
Real Housewives Of Auckland S01E10 REACTION POD Finale With Steve Molk & Nic McLachlan (S08E10 - Ep172)
October 30, 2016 00:20 - 1 hour - 76.9 MBWe made it. The season finale of THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF AUCKLAND is here and Nic McLachlan & Steve Molk simultaneously amazed and devastated... AND FEEL TOTALLY RIPPED OFF that there's no reunion. What we do get to experience is one of the most confusing, blood-curdling and frustrating arguments in franchise history. Be ready to set the cat among the pigeons with absolutely no intention of causing a problem(!). Also: WHY IS THERE NO REUNION EPISODE?! WHAT EVEN IS THIS?! MolksTVTalk the...
Real Housewives Of Auckland S01E09 REACTION POD With Steve Molk & Nic McLachlan (S08E09 - Ep171)
October 23, 2016 00:20 - 1 hour - 69.6 MBThis is an extra special penultimate episode of THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF AUCKLAND. Just be cool and let Nic McLachlan & Steve Molk guide you through it because there's just so much to deal with. But first - where's Angela? Look, this is what we live for. One launch is usually amazing for any part of the Real Housewives franchise but TWO LAUNCHES?! It's everything we've wanted all season. There's lots to prepare for when there's two launches, not least of which is proving Lea the intern is st...
Real Housewives Of Auckland S01E08 REACTION POD With Steve Molk & Nic McLachlan (S08E08 - Ep170)
October 16, 2016 00:20 - 1 hour - 55.9 MBStart your engines and prepare to be dazzled by the true competitive nature of THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF AUCKLAND. Nic McLachlan & Steve Molk pull up their comfy chairs and get to wondering if we've met the real Angela in this episode. After all we did see her daughter deliver her some home truths about her self-obsession at least. There's book proofs & boobs to see, bad blind dates to witness (SO AWKWARD IT HURTS), Anne staring at Ben's genitals, and the big race day organised by Gilda - ...
Real Housewives Of Auckland S01E07 REACTION POD With Steve Molk & Nic McLachlan (S08E07 - Ep169)
October 09, 2016 00:20 - 1 hour - 64.1 MBIt's a bitsa ep this week on THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF AUCKLAND and the thing you can trust is that Nic McLachlan & Steve Molk are here to guide you through it and help make it bearable. At least until Angela gets the girls out. Poor Doggy-style Dan is subjected to Michelle's lusting; Louise is subjected to Angela as they have tea together while Lou sweats out the outcome of her rehearsal; Anne is subjected to Anne and Julia as they go feed the Parnell Pussies (ooh-er!); then someone gives th...
Real Housewives Of Auckland S01E06 REACTION POD With Steve Molk & Nic McLachlan (S08E06 - Ep168)
October 02, 2016 00:20 - 1 hour - 65.2 MBWe're still in Port Douglas on this week's THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF AUCKLAND but all of that is put aside as Nic McLachlan & Steve Molk set you straight on one of the biggest controversies to ever hit the franchise. This is super serious, you guys. Luckily it's all pretty much mostly able to be sorted out but not before some damage was done and (luckily) Gilda and Michelle had to miss Angela's forced trek to undertake the "laughing yoga and general bullying" session. Also Angela should never...
Real Housewives Of Auckland S01E05 REACTION POD With Steve Molk & Nic McLachlan (S08E05 - Ep167)
September 25, 2016 01:20 - 1 hour - 62.3 MBYou know what THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF AUCKLAND need after a solid four episodes? A holiday in Port Douglas. Join them, Nic McLachlan & Steve Molk as we wind you through this week's episode for make benefit glorious nation of North Queensland. There's certainly a lot of business to take care of before we get to the mainland too. There's packing, bitching, a high tea, a spray tan, a fashion parade and some more bitching. Once we get to the resort the problems only ramp up trying to work out W...
2016 #Emmys Special Featuring @markhumphries (S06E03 - Ep166)
September 19, 2016 21:00 - 1 hour - 60.3 MB2016 PRIMETIME EMMYS SPECIAL! The one where Mark Humphries and Steve Molk cast a longing glance at the winners, losers and hosting performance of Jimmy Kimmel at the 68th Primetime Emmy Awards. It was a night of diversity. Thanks to THE PEOPLE V OJ SIMPSON being nominated a billion times and winning most of those there was lots of African-American people onstage (which is a great thing), and Jeffrey Tambor's win again for TRANSPARENT along with the most outstanding direction win for the sa...
Real Housewives Of Auckland S01E04 REACTION POD With Steve Molk & Nic McLachlan (S08E04 - Ep165)
September 18, 2016 01:20 - 1 hour - 87.9 MBIt was the perfect example of too much information, and this week's episode of THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF AUCKLAND delivers far too much for Nic McLachlan & Steve Molk to talk about. Our theory that Lea needs to be removed for her safety only gains momentum as Anne attempts to steal her away and Angela massively over-reacts to her car being in a little prang. There's also blood on the drama floor at Louise's workshop, and Angela's attempts to bury the hatchet with Gilda end up with said hatchet...
Real Housewives Of Auckland S01E03 REACTION POD With Steve Molk & Nic McLachlan (S08E03 - Ep164)
September 11, 2016 01:20 - 1 hour - 58.6 MBWarm your pussies, fill your glass with some moist, sparkling liquid and settle back and enjoy this great new episode of THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF AUCKLAND with Nic McLachlan & Steve Molk. If it's not Julia off to see a woman about a vampire, or Michelle feeding Anne's pussies, it's the annual Pussy Galore fundraiser party that sees Gilda take Louise to task and Angela v everyone continue. Also: SURPRISE! We meet Angela's French "P.A." Lea who it appears she has a crush on and is in a posit...
Real Housewives Of Auckland S01E02 REACTION POD With Steve Molk & Nic McLachlan (S08E02 - Ep163)
September 04, 2016 01:20 - 1 hour - 72.3 MBHello friends. Nic McLachlan & Steve Molk are back to guide you through the jungle that is THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF AUCKLAND. If you thought we had a mark on the housewives from E01, you're dead wrong. I mean, the episodes starts with Molk apologising for goodness sake. There's so much to see and do this episode from: visiting Karen the Healing Practitioner (not a thing); to Michelle taking her daughter to fashion week; to Julia being horny; to Anne the Sparkling Wine Lady(tm) getting a cons...
Real Housewives Of Auckland S01E01 REACTION POD With Steve Molk & Nic McLachlan (S08E01 - Ep162)
August 28, 2016 01:30 - 1 hour - 61.3 MBHello friends. It's a whole new series in the franchise and it DOES. NOT. DISAPPOINT. Welcome to Nic McLachlan & Steve Molk's journey through the premiere (S01E01) of THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF AUCKLAND. We've six new Housewives to meet - Louise, Gilda, Julia, Angela, Michelle & Anne - and all sorts of new geography to work out. Honestly, as we guide you through you'll agree that once we meet the ladies it's on for young faces and old faces as the ladies attempt to our pass-ag and bitch on each...
Real Housewives Of Melbourne REUNION Reaction Podcast With Nic McLachlan & Daniel Backhaus (S07E12 - Ep161)
May 15, 2016 02:00 - 2 hours - 114 MBWELCOME TO THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF MELBOURE S03 REUNION PODCAST! What a journey. We owned it. We didn't create any gossip, we just passed on what we'd heard. Joining me for your auditory pleasure this final incredible ep for the season is NIC MCLACHLAN and DANIEL BACKHAUS. Both of them so, so great and not at all limited by legal warnings or direction. It's two massive hours of shock, love, horror, hate, pillow throwing, tears, controversy, subterfuge, lies, revelations, #FreeJohanna, fuck...
2016 #Logies Wrap With @markhumphries (S06E02 - Ep160)
May 08, 2016 23:00 - 1 hour - 58.6 MBMARK HUMPHRIES and I settle in and reflect on the 58th TV WEEK LOGIE AWARDS. The fun, the shocks, the banter, the controversy, and the fact that it's still technically running. We chat about the overall impact of what was a pretty good Logies, all in all. There's talk of CRAIG MCLACHLAN and MIRANDA TAPSELL; THE LIVING ROOM; the length of the show; JULIA MORRIS; DAVE HUGHES; PETER HELLIAR and KITTY FLANAGAN; WENTWORTH; JIMMY BARNES; THE PROJECT; WALEED ALY and more. It was a hell of a nigh...

May 01, 2016 01:30 - 1 hour - 80.6 MBIT'S THE SEASON FINAL! We made it. Short of an explosive reunion (and you know it will be) we're all the way through and S03E11 of THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF MELBOURNE delivers and delivers and delivers. Don't worry - Nic McLachlan and I will guide you. There's lots of loose ends to be tied up this week, including another family reunion, a fragrance launch, the angels, a reconciliation and one hell of a f#ckin' dinner! Everything gets rounded out nicely to leave just the right amount of incre...
Real Housewives Of Melbourne S03E10 REACTION POD With Nic McLachlan (S07E10 - Ep158)
April 24, 2016 01:25 - 1 hour - 68.7 MBNIC MCLACHLAN and I are back to look at a whole new target - she of the arse and a half - reacting to S03E10 of THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF MELBOURNE. Enjoy the mindsplosions of Lydia as she lives in her self-indulgent, self-deluded world imprisoning a dog and a housekeeper. Shudder at her ongoing feud with Chyka (all of Lydia's own doing). Laugh at Gina by Gina Liano's "wholistic whateverthefucksheis". Be horrified at the talk of Ben's swimmers and getting some work done at Wristy Central. Del...
Real Housewives Of Melbourne S03E09 REACTION POD With Nic McLachlan (S07E09 - Ep157)
April 17, 2016 01:25 - 55 minutes - 50.4 MBThere's a lot to mop up after last week's Disastrous Desert Dinner, so please allow NIC MCLACHLAN and I the opportunity to talk you through S03E09 of this week's ep of THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF MELBOURNE. Get the f#ck out! Not only do we get more dinner shenanigans but we get some UAE culture learnings for greater understanding, Janet gets all hot and bothered, Jackie admits to being a woggy chick and is very hungry, Lydia & Pettifleur's attempt at reconciliation, the revelation of the real co...
Real Housewives Of Melbourne S03E08 REACTION POD With Nic McLachlan (S07E08 - Ep156)
April 10, 2016 01:30 - 1 hour - 64.1 MBShopping anyone? Well, while we're in DUBAI WE MAY AS WELL! It's another REAL HOUSEWIVES OF MELBOURNE reaction podcast with NIC MCLACHLAN and the joy of S03E08 isn't just the locale but the attitudes. Get f#cked. Lydia again puzzles us all with her attitudes to animal love, we get a family reunion, there's a major Pettifleur breakdown, and you know they all lose their cool when they swear like the Aussies they are. Bull f#cking shit. By the end of the season if Jackie hasn't bitchslapp...
Real Housewives Of Melbourne S03E07 REACTION POD With Nic McLachlan (S07E07 - Ep155)
April 03, 2016 01:30 - 57 minutes - 52.2 MBSURPRISE! WE'RE ALL GOING TO DUBAI! But first there's a bloody painting of Figaro and so much more for NIC MCLACHLAN and I to get you through for S03E07 of THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF MELBOURNE! Look, we'll pretty much all agree that an etiquette class with Chyka, Chessie & Jackie is pretty much the funniest thing ever, so we're at least guaranteed that. This is despite protestations of love by others AND WHO MAKES THEIR DOG TAKE A SHOWER WITH THEM, LYDIA?! Don't forget Gina by Gina Liano by Ch...
Real Housewives Of Melbourne S03E06 REACTION POD With Nic McLachlan (S07E06 - Ep154)
March 27, 2016 00:30 - 48 minutes - 43.9 MBEvery good wedding deserves a great party, and when it comes to a reception let's see what Alin managed to pull together... Also NIC MCLACHLAN is back to help guide you and I through S03E06 of THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF MELBOURNE! Of course first on the menu is the possible cake destruction and Gina's perceived Celebrity Apprentice launch party and all the shitstorm that surrounds it. There is, however, still time for double dates, bitchy lunches a visit to Gina's Dad(!), Myles' birthday (some...
Real Housewives Of Melbourne S03E05 REACTION POD With Aleisha McCormack (S07E05 - Ep153)
March 20, 2016 00:30 - 1 hour - 57.7 MBDear listener, you are cordially invited to the wedding of Wolf Pup & Gamble in this, the S03E05 reaction pod ep for the REAL HOUSEWIVES OF MELBOURNE, featuring the delightful ALEISHA McCORMACK. No RHOM wedding ever goes smoothly. There's always controversy and this time it's Gamble's "bestie" Gina that brings the pain - while all the others create their own special and unique brands of chaos. The Byron on Byron is the locale for the controversy and you won't want to miss a minute of: missi...
Real Housewives Of Melbourne S03E04 REACTION POD With Nic McLachlan (S07E04 - Ep152)
March 13, 2016 00:30 - 50 minutes - 45.8 MBIt has begun... THE PRETENDENING (aka S03E04 of THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF MELBOURNE), and NIC MCLACHLAN and I will guide you all through it. There's a number of let downs we have to work through, like: the wash up of the fight at Gamble's (herefortowith known as #InviteGate); far too much of Creepy Brian; Gamble & Hair Gina going lingerie shopping; even more Lydia v Susie; the Pitchka Queen permanently having her head done in by Pif; and that afternoon tea organised by Chyka (there's always a ...
Real Housewives Of Melbourne S03E03 REACTION POD With Nic McLachlan (S07E03 - Ep151)
March 06, 2016 07:10 - 52 minutes - 47.6 MBThe one where S03E03 of THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF MELBOURNE consumes NIC MCLACHLAN and I, and we will never be the same again. Look, it's all about the last seven minutes of the show, but in the process there's more #FreeJohanna, Lydia's evil plans, a new Porsche, a blubbering lunch, effing Brian getting creepier than ever, and the much-awaited self-reflection regarding BABY TALK (please God no). Then there's the fight, the wedding invitations, and then A WHOLE NEW FIGHT. MolksTVTalk the podc...
Real Housewives Of Melbourne S03E02 REACTION POD With Nic McLachlan (S07E02 - Ep150)
February 28, 2016 00:30 - 54 minutes - 49.4 MBThe one where NIC MCLACHLAN and I dive into S03E02 of THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF MELBOURNE and come out feeling a whole lot better about ourselves. Warnie Watch continues, as does #DrivingMissLydia (or #FreeJohanna - take your pick), and while there's talk of horses, cheating exes, gossip, Turkish wristies, baby-making sex, Pottery Barn champers, masturbation, flirting with the Porsche salesman, blogging and more - it's all really quite innocent. MolksTVTalk the podcast has been hijacked for t...
Real Housewives Of Melbourne S03 Preview With Nic McLachlan (S07E01 - Ep149)
February 15, 2016 09:00 - 51 minutes - 46.7 MBThe one where NIC MCLACHLAN and I draw a line in the sand and prepare you for the new season of REAL HOUSEWIVES OF MELBOURNE. Basically, it's crazy. In this ep we fill you in on where RHOM is, who's who in the zoo (& which animal they most resemble), and then we preview the first ep and with as few spoilers as possible explain just how gob-smackingly amazing the first ep of season three is. You basically won't believe it - so prepare yourselves. #Lydiot MolksTVTalk the podcast has been hi...
2016 Ratings Preview With Mark Humphries (S06E01 - Ep148)
February 02, 2016 17:13 - 1 hour - 59.4 MBThe one where MARK HUMPHRIES and I talk about what we did over summer (spoilers: summer camp) and what the 2016 TV ratings year looks like it's shaping up to be. In short - TONS. We cast a critical eye across MY KITCHEN RULES, I'M A CELEBRITY GET ME OUT OF HERE, AUSTRALIA'S GOT TALENT, THE FAMILY LAW, HOUSE OF CARDS, BILLIONS, FIRST DATES, MOLLY, WOLF CREEK, JACK IRISH and so much more. That doesn't mean we know anything about the shows... so, you know, tread carefully. GET MORE MARK! Ma...
@LukeWMcGregor (S05E30 - Ep147)
December 03, 2015 09:00 - 3 minutes - 3 MBThe one where I resurrect the only chat I was able to get at the ABC's 2016 UpFronts ("Catch the Wonderful") with the very excellent LUKE MCGREGOR. In this sneaky short chat we talk about his new series LUKE WARM SEX and his new comedy he's writing and starring in with CELIA PACQUOLA! LOVE A LOTTA LUKE! Twitter Facebook
2015 #YearInReview (S05E29 - Ep146)
November 30, 2015 09:00 - 1 hour - 99.8 MBThe one where NIKOLE GUNN, DAN HALL, KEVIN PERRY and I have a chat about the righteous year in television we've had in Australia for 2015. From the searing highs to the sickening lows and the smooth, creamery middles we found enough to talk about that we can treat you to this epic podcast (grab a cool drink and settle in!). We cover off all the genres and big ticket items of the year: NEWS, TV TECH, FACTUAL, REALITY, COMEDY, DRAMA and squeeze in even more as we discuss our own IN MEMORIAM ...
@Shelley_Craft (S05E28 - Ep145)
November 25, 2015 17:17 - 13 minutes - 12.7 MBThe one where SHELLEY CRAFT sheds light on the latest series of THE BLOCK (in all it's octagonal glory), speaks about the launch of 9LIFE and getting her TV break on SATURDAY DISNEY. It's a fun but all too brief chat with Shelley and there's insight on this season's Block contestants as well as a revelation about Shelley's past you'd never have guessed. Thanks to Shelley & Nine for the chance to speak with her at the Qld edition of the Nine UpFronts Roadshow.
@StanAustralia's Mike Sneesby (S05E27 - Ep144)
October 26, 2015 09:00 - 36 minutes - 33 MBThe one where STAN AUSTRALIA'S CEO MIKE SNEESBY is first in this three-part Australian SVOD special series. We discuss the process behind securing deals to launch on Australia Day 2015 with the entire series of BREAKING BAD, TRANSPARENT and more, along with the additions that have come since in BETTER CALL SAUL, MOZART IN THE JUNGLE and much more. There's talk of commercial FTA live-streaming and the Stan original series NO ACTIVITY and WOLF CREEK (coming in 2016). This is the first of th...
@charliepick (S05E26 - Ep143)
September 29, 2015 12:00 - 1 hour - 56.4 MBThe one where Charlie Pickering and I start talking about politics at great length on a TV podcast. You were warned. There is much discussion about THE WEEKLY WITH CHARLIE PICKERING and the process behind it, including the writers and the things the ABC allowed them the creative freedom to do. We even leveraged in some HARD CHAT in the middle to appease Tom Gleeson. There's also talk of THE WALKING DEAD, OFFSPRING, GAME OF THRONES, THE PROJECT and lots more. A thoroughly engaging chat. I...
2015 @TheEmmys Special Featuring @humphriesmark
September 21, 2015 02:00 - 52 minutes - 47.8 MB2015 PRIMETIME EMMYS SPECIAL! The one where Mark Humphries and Molk look at the winners, losers and hosting performance of Andy Samberg at the 67th Primetime Emmy Awards. Most wins were expected or at least pleasant surprises (Jeffrey Tambor for TRANSPARENT, Jon Hamm for MAD MEN, & Peter Dinklage for GAME OF THRONES for example). No real WTF moments other than the big Outstanding Drama win by GAME OF THRONES - against MAD MEN, BETTER CALL SAUL and more. There was that moment where they ra...
@davewlawson (S05E24 - Ep141)
September 14, 2015 02:00 - 55 minutes - 50.4 MBThe one where Dave plays the role of the nice guy a little too naturally. But that's just the kind of guy he is. A gentle wander through his time at NICKELODEON among other shows, appearing in the movie ODDBALL and of course his time on Working Dog's UTOPIA (Wed 9pm ABC). How much Dave loved the first couple of seasons of BIG BROTHER featured also, along with his endorsement of Celia Pacquola's eyebrow acting game. We also stop by his Toyota MEMORABLE MOMENTS ads with Stephen Curry and men...
@AngusSampson (S05E23 - Ep140)
September 07, 2015 02:00 - 1 hour - 64.1 MBThe one where Angus and I have an epic conversation ranging from his experience in film (MAD MAX FURY ROAD, THE MULE and more) to TV (FARGO, GREEKS ON THE ROOF and more) and the state of political and social commentary in Australia today. Prepare yourselves - this is a wild ride. We meander through all recesses of the film and TV landscape, pausing for some time (understandably) on working with George Miller & Noah Hawley. It's a long way for this one guy known for fecal follies. Prospecti...
@sammyj_comedian #RickettsLane (S05E22 - Ep139)
August 18, 2015 16:00 - 47 minutes - 43 MBThe one where Sammy J lurches from one controversy to the next, be it dealing with airport security in Dubai, to hating on Twitter, to the secret revelation of his long-held pastime as a gardener of sorts. Can't say I didn't warn you. Naturally there's lots of talk about his new show SAMMY J AND RANDY IN RICKETT'S LANE (appearing on ABC iview in September and then on ABC TV in October), including the Tim Ferguson connection, the Brough-mance and the great list of Australian comedians with ...
Brooke Satchwell @dirtylaundrylive (S05E21 - Ep138)
August 10, 2015 02:15 - 36 minutes - 33 MBThe one where Brooke Satchwell springs forth and delivers missives on the cult of celebrity. Much like her life on DIRTY LAUNDRY LIVE. This all too fleeting encounter with the star of shows like WONDERLAND, PACKED TO THE RAFTERS and NEIGHBOURS covers many, many bases including the new cast of CELEBRITY APPRENTICE AUSTRALIA, her fascination with specific numbers and times, and why BIG BROTHER was possibly one of the best shows going around. There's even some talk of sausages, naturally. Af...
Summer/Fall US TV With @KeeneTV (S05E20 - Ep137)
July 27, 2015 11:30 - 1 hour - 70.5 MBThe one where Allison Keene sidles in and delivers all the warnings we need to know about what TV to look out for (& avoid) from the current US Summer and upcoming Fall schedules. There's some great chat about reality TV from the Collider.com TV Editor, including revelations about BACHELOR PAD and BACHELOR IN PARADISE, along with some great shows to keep an eye out for in UNREAL, HANNIBAL and MR ROBOT. We dive through the shows that America can thank Australia for making better and there's...
US TV With @MerrillBarr (S05E19 - Ep136)
July 20, 2015 02:00 - 1 hour - 81.5 MBThe one where Merrill Barr gives us the 101 on the US TV landscape - who owns what, just what is syndication and how to navigate the Broadcast/Basic/Premium Cable/Streaming environment. Basically - it's messy. Merrill does well to help us wind through some of the history as to how we get to the spot modern US TV is in, speed bumps and all along the way. Sure there's about 300 million more Americans than Australians but they've still got it pretty good when you accept just about everything ...
@DanMacPherson (S05E18 - Ep135)
July 13, 2015 02:30 - 1 hour - 75.1 MBThe one where Dan MacPherson discuss is already very full career across Australian TV and dive headlong in the process of making INFINI and then popping up as horse-riding elven-warrior-prince on the soon to be released THE SHANNARA CHRONICLES. If you want to check out what the big new thing from MTV looks like here's the teaser from Comic-Con 2015: https://youtu.be/crjkQHnDYu0 - AMAZING! There's lots of talk of hair (NEIGHBOURS) and no hair (THE BILL), clowns (DANCING WITH THE STARS) and ...
@pattybrammall (S05E17 - Ep134)
July 06, 2015 03:00 - 40 minutes - 36.6 MBThe one where Patrick Brammall get straight into it and talk about his work on TV - ALL OF IT. ALL AT ONCE. We meander through working on UPPER MIDDLE BOGAN (acknowledging the new Gristmill show LITTLE LUNCH that's about to drop), OFFSPRING (*BIG* news for fans on season 6!), CANAL ROAD and much, much more. Given Patrick's time was limited we got into the meat of it, chewing the fat about GLITCH (premiering this Thursday 8:30pm on ABC). A new twist for Pick A Box Of Pot Luck as this week P...
@justinhamilton_ (S05E16 - Ep133)
June 29, 2015 10:00 - 1 hour - 68.7 MBThe one where Justin Hamilton & I talk about TV so much we don't actually get to talk about his relationship with TV (though from this episode you'll have a good indication of how it works). The real challenge we put to you is this: Can you make it through the 15 minutes of Star Wars Episode VII plot discussion BEFORE we get to the other stuff? The only correct answer is yes. EVEN THEN WE RAN OUT OF TIME! There's talk about the Australian comedy 'mafia' and Hammo's preference of reality TV...
@reynoldsgareth (S05E15 - Ep132)
June 22, 2015 10:00 - 57 minutes - 52.2 MBThe one where Gareth Reynolds regales us his story of suckling at the teet of MTV while delivering a show without one core ingredient. The very funny co-host of The Dollop podcast Gareth joins me live from his couch in LA while I sat in an office chair in Brisbane, Australia. Thanks technology. There's discussion of Trump as a legitimate US Presidential Candidate, the leaving of Chris Bath and Gareth shows his skill in Pick A Box Of Pot Luck with his special topic being Mr Show. There's als...
@CXClausen (S05E14 - Ep131)
June 01, 2015 05:00 - 1 hour - 68.7 MBThe one where Charlie Clausen REVEALS ALL about the rigors of auditioning and casting, what it's like to survive between gigs, and what it was like to hear the first Guest Charlie on TOFOP. He's also very sharp on when quizzed about Buffy the Vampire Slayer and reveals exactly what vegetable Jules Lund is most like. Naturally we talk about his new podcast That's Aweson, Kirk Cameron, Mr Bad on E Street, Twin Peaks and talk about his first time to LA Podfest last year. We also dive into why ...
@DanielJohnHall (S05E13 - Ep130)
May 25, 2015 08:00 - 1 hour - 60.1 MBThe one where Dan Hall and I passionately analyse the final episode of Mad Men before we got distracted with other shiny things. There's talk of Boris the Black Knight, Agro's Cartoon Connection and even more 'Round the Twist (what a child of the late 80's this man is). Also Mark Humphries drops by to start off our discussion on everything Eurovision 2015. I unload on the critics of Married at First Sight (somewhat controversially) and Dan digs deep into his knowledge of reality TV to work ...
@_JulieGoodwin (S05E12 - Ep129)
May 18, 2015 10:00 - 1 hour - 55.4 MBThe one where Julie Goodwin lifts the lid and dishes the (non-existent) dirt on which of the MasterChef Australia judges gives the best hugs, who is the hardest marker and who has the best poker face. THEN we start on her time in the jungle as a part of Ten's big start to the year with I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here. It's not all reality though... what shows impacted Julie as a youngster (and as a young mum)? What secrets does she know about Fast Ed Halmyagi? Why does the audio sound so...
@RobMillsyMills (S05E11 - Ep128)
May 11, 2015 08:00 - 1 hour - 69.6 MBThe one where Rob Mills talks about life as a part of the first class of Australian Idol (and his realisation he was never gonna win in a year that had Shannon Noll and Guy Sebastian). He's far more than a one-note wonder though, and we wander through his career on TV including Celebrity Apprentice Australia, Dancing with the Stars and more. There's some talk of his theatre career and his upcoming cabaret show Rob Mills Is Surprisingly Good. How much does Rob know about reality television (...
#Logies Wrap With @humphriesmark (S05E10 - Ep127)
May 04, 2015 08:00 - 1 hour - 74 MBHAPPY LOGIES AFTERMATH! What a night it was. Tears, desperation, disappointment - all that just from the radio people on the red carpet trying to get the attention of our stars for interviews. The Logies have once again been run and won and in this 57th year going live to air (for the east coast) made it all the more engaging and energetic. That doesn't mean there wasn't the pre-requisite awkwardness of say a Chris Brown and Jennifer Hawkins into, but nonetheless it was fun. Fellow Logies ...
@MrSamMac & @JulesSchiller (S05E09 - Ep126)
April 27, 2015 08:00 - 1 hour - 62.3 MBThe one where Mr Sam Mac & Jules Schiller take us behind the curtain of working near TV. For Sam that includes life on Wake Up! and all that entailed, and for Jules that's The White Room and seeing your great new panel show become a network casualty. There's revelations on Scott Cam, Carrie Bickmore and Steve Peacocke; The ARIAs; and some hot Logies gossip (what exactly is it like to get thrown out of the Media Room?). Given it's Logies week we seek wisdom from our guests as to who will win ...
@ladyjmo (S05E08 - Ep125)
April 20, 2015 10:00 - 1 hour - 80.6 MBThe one where Julia Morris talks about all things I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here, her lust for Chris Brown, life on House Husbands, how gossip columnists just make stuff up and all sorts of other things. There's some great conversation about getting her start on TV in Australia, life on TV in the UK, coming back and then going to the US where... nothing. Celebrity Apprentice gets a guernsey along too. Also her ladyness has one of the best laughs in the biz. Warning: Mutual admiration soc...
@humphriesmark (S05E07 - Ep124)
April 13, 2015 10:30 - 1 hour - 58.8 MBThe one where Mark Humphries barely scratches the surface when it comes to life on A Rational Fear, The Roast and becoming the ire of politicians across Australia. This first of what will be hopefully many conversations with Mark picks at the surface of what it means to have to watch The Bolt Report and Insiders every week and life in auditions for advertisements. Lots of great distracting discussion about television in the 80's and a mandatory discussion about Eurovision, and the reveal of ...
