Hello 2022! Please be kind. Our offering for the new year is a closer look at local versions of international reality TV blockbusters: Drag Race and The Real Housewives, aka brand Benjamin Law.

First up, RuPaul’s ride-or-die Michelle Visage dropped by ahead of the inaugural season of Drag Race Down Under.

Then, Brian Moylan on his tell-all book about the Real Housewives reality TV empire, followed by actual Real Housewives of Melbourne, Jackie Gillies and Cherry Dipietrantonio.
