Since landing in London on March 20 I’ve really been on quite the journey with Delta - seeing her in Norway the day after I moved to London, catching up with her the next week on my lunch break at work in Soho, seeing her perform in Amsterdam for a Eurovision preview party, seeing her Camden pop up show where we got a cute pic with Tim Tams, the Turquoise Carpet for Eurovision’s Opening Ceremony, all the beautiful incredible moments during Eurovision which I’ll talk about in the pod and then in the last week we had Mighty Hoopla and her debut performance at Royal Albert Hall! As she says in her song, it’s only just begun with her Pure Prelude shows happening in a couple weeks time! I’ll be talking all about what happened at Eurovision in this bonus edition of episode 49 along with the extended chat with Andrew from the main episode! Hope you enjoy

Hello beautiful friends! Welcome to episode 47 of the bradtpop podcast. I hope you enjoyed your break and are feeling refreshed! Usually the first episode of the year is a bucket list of items I want to achieve but I’m not doing that for 2026. Whilst I was glad to learn a new skill of DJing and get fitter by playing rugby with the Convicts last year - I still need to learn how to cook dammit and I cant be having any other resolutions until thats done! So instead this episode is just going to be one big brain dump! First I’ll start off with a life update of what I’ve been up to since Christmas including a trip to Perth and my 35th birthday! Then I’ll talk about the wave of reality crashing in after my birthday surrounding a big life decision! Then I’ll quickly talk about my predictions for the Grammys next week before I wrap it up with my Top 5 picks of the week!

Andrew and I start this episode acknowledging the sensless violence at Bondi Beach last weekend. Our thoughts are with the victims, their families, the Jewish & Muslim communities and Sydney who have been impacted. Unity and love will get us through.

After that we reflect on the Big Brother finale where Coco was announced the winner

Then the rest of the episode is all about Mother Monster's Mayhem tour which we give our initial thoughts on and then revisit the entire set list - act by act! Hope you enjoy

In an effort to get the podcast ep out quicker I will be putting the episodes out unedited at first and may re-edit at a later stage to clean it up. Hope you enjoy!

BONUS EPISODE: Very grateful to have Andrew on the pod to discuss the big talking points of the first week and a recap as well!

Hello and welcome to episode 44 of the bradtpop podcast! I am very excited to be joined by my great friend Andrew to join the rest of the country in talking about BIG BROTHER!

Andrew and I were part of the 20,000 people who applied but missed out on being in this year’s season 16 of the show but the first returning to the original format on Channel Ten. Season 1 premiered in 2001 at its home of Dreamworld Gold Coast with the finale attracting 2.8m won by Ben Williams with Blair McDonough being runner up. For those who don’t know Blair is Delta’s first boyfriend as a teenager whose deception inspired her #1 hits Not Me Not I and Predictable! I just had to mention Delta in the pod - especially since that is how Andrew and I know each other which we discussed on ep2 of this podcast, and this is his 4th appearance on the pod after talking about Kylie’s tour on ep 37 and Delta’s most recent tour on ep 39! 

After 8 seasons and a failed Celebrity edition between 2001-2008 on Ch10, Big Brother was picked up on Ch9 between 2012-2014 which I would say was much loved by fans before Ch7 absolutely ruined it with their Survivor-style interpretation which somehow lasted 5 seasons between 2020-2023 which included celebrities like Caitlyn Jenner and past housemates like Reggie, Drew & Tully. The current season has really taken the country by storm with new host Mel Tracina, 24 hour live streaming, weekly tasks and live nominations and evictions. Andrew and I have just watched the Sunday night eviction where Michael was voted out and we will go one by one in our review of the housemates so far with a bonus episode later in the week to discuss the big talking points of the week and a weekly recap. Hope you enjoy!
