My teenage dreams have officially come true because RONAN KEATING is on the pod!

We remember the absolute chaos of the 90s, how different being famous was before social media, his new tour and somehow end up talking about helping out at our kids' schools.

From Boyzone heartthrob to parent helper — what a journey. Meanwhile I’m just trying to act normal in front of a man who was once plastered all over my bedroom walls.

You absolutely do NOT need to watch Real Housewives of London to enjoy this one.

Karen and Nessie join me for a hilarious chat about life on reality TV, what really goes on when the cameras are around and everything in between.

PLUS comedian Gen Fricker joins me for some wildly important analysis, questionable opinions and a lot of laughs - I am obsessed with Gen she is one of the great humans

Come for the Housewives gossip, stay for the chaos.

It’s interviews, gossip, laughs and a completely unnecessary amount of analysis — exactly how Housewives should be discussed.

Taylor Swift. Lorde. Gracie Abrams. Tate McRae. Imagine Dragons. Noah Kahan. Jonas Brothers. The list of people Joel Little has made music with is actually ridiculous.

But more importantly, he’s the singer and guitarist of one of my favourite bands, Goodnight Nurse and my actual friend which is the best of all!

Joel joins me to talk about Goodnight Nurse going back on the road YAY, whether his kids finally think he’s cool, what happens to the incredible songs artists make that we’ll NEVER get to hear, whether music actually gets “leaked” and where he sits on AI making music.

Plus, I make him quick-fire the biggest artists he’s worked with and obviously ask the most important question first: how was Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding?

Goodnight Nurse are back! Win a double pass for you + a mate to see them live in Auckland, Wellington or Christchurch this November - enter via the A Little Bit Extra Instagram or Facebook post!

Swifties, I have been down the rabbit hole so you don’t have to.

There are approximately 47 billion Taylor Swift Easter egg theories floating around the internet at any given moment, so I’ve gone through some of the biggest ones, debunked the ones that absolutely do NOT stack up and found a few that actually might.

But more importantly… I think I’ve figured out when Taylor and Travis could finally share their wedding videos, and once you see the clues, it actually makes SO much sense.

Give me 15 minutes and let’s investigate.

We’re doing things a little differently for the pop wrap this week, with the sudden passing of actress Hayden Panettiere, there’s so much noise around this story, from what happened, what’s been said, who’s being blamed and the Neutrogena of it all.
