Champagne Comedy Podcast

Actor, Writer and Director Trudy Hellier has been part of the Australian television landscape since the late '80s, appearing in many well known Australian TV dramas, comedies and childrens productions.

Hellier appeared in all three seasons of Frontline as the segment producer Kate Preston, often assisting Emma and picking up the pieces that Mike Moore leaves behind.

We chat to Trudy about her role on the show, the impact Frontline has had on the media landscape and the general public, working with Harry Shearer, remembering Bruno Lawrence and Lynda Gibson, and her extensive CV.

Alison has buried herself into her personal archives and found a cassette tape from the mid 1990s.

"Who cares? Get off my podcast feed!" I hear you ask ... well, for one thing - keep it down. I can hear you from down the road.

Second of all, you should care, because Alison painstakingly digitised the tape and it turns out it was a classic interview she conducted back in her teens, chatting to Tom Gleisner. This was around the time of The Warwick Todd Diaries was being published. So here it is for your listening pleasure.

Thank you for following our podcast, and enjoy!
