Ratbag with Mel & Sam

Helloooooo darlings!!

Welcome to your platter full of ratfood for the week!

It’s the most wonderful time of the year. Straighten your bow ties. Polish ya tap shoes. And bubble those lips, cos it’s SHOWCASE SEASON BIIIITTTTCHHH.

We unpack the fine art of the filmed showcase, Mel shares a life changing birthday invitation and we chat crab boils and cinema til the cows come home touching on Sam’s quick reviews of ‘You Can See Anything’, ‘Primetime’ and of course the most important of all … ‘Focker In Law.’

We will see you for another Ratbag on Monday, and wishing you love and cheese cubes wherever you are in the world this Ratfood day.

Okay! Love you, bye!

Mel & Sam would like to acknowledge that Ratbag is being recorded on Stolen Land.

The original custodians of this land have had a rich history of storytelling for over 65,000 years, and we pay our respects to the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation whose land we are recording Ratbag on.

Treaties were never signed. Sovereignty was never ceded. Always was and always will be Aboriginal land.

Heya cutie pies! Welcome to another episode of ‘Ratbag’ we’re stoked you’re listening! In today’s episode Sam brings a list of things that give people “the ick”. Then we have a write in from a rat asking us about if we had a super power in the arts what would it be? Then we do another F,M,K before doing the most bang on accurate ‘Hit It Toots!’ that we’ve done in a long time!

Thanks as always for listening and see you on Thursday for another ‘Ratfood!’

Love Mel and Sam

Hey there darling pies!

\\\\\\\\\\Welcome to another episode of ‘Ratbag!’ In today’s episode Mel brings a segment about her micro influencer era in a musical theatre community group. Then we chat about random things we are passion about thanks to a question from our Hotline. Then our ‘Kick Ons’ sees Mel answering what letters of the alphabet could “go on stage” to represent their letter, and if this doesn’t make sense to you, you’d be right for that, it will make sense in the episode.

Thanks as always for listening and see you on Thursday for another ‘Ratfood!’

Helloooooo darlings!!

Welcome to your platter full of ratfood for the week!

Today we chat allllllll of our thoughts about the Glee reboot. What we’re excited for, what we’re not so excited for, and other reboots that we’ve seen unfortunately not work so well in the past.

We also unpack our incredible first live pod from the weekend, chatting about our highlights, why it was such a special day, the power of community building and the giggles around trying to appeal to a general population (when it is JUST not in our bones).

We will see you for another Ratbag on Monday, and wishing you love and cheese cubes wherever you are in the world this Ratfood day.

Okay! Love you, bye!

Haaapppyyyy halloweeennnn you rats!! Or should we say, happy RAToweeeeen! In today’s Halloween themed episode we begin with a segment where Mel has to guess if the movie is a real Halloween film or a plot Sam has made up. Then we come up with some gay Halloween couples costumes off the dome, we answer a heinous hypothetical surrounding trick or treat and then of course, we sing, but what about you may ask … you’ll just have to watch to see.

Thanks as always and see you on Thursday for another “Ratfood!”

Love Mel and Sam xx

Helloooooo darlings!!

Welcome to your platter full of ratfood for the week! This week, Mel shares her complex feelings around it being the final week of the heathers tour, talking about what happens when you achieve your dream and it becomes your job, work life balance and from Sam’s POV, what it’s felt like to actually NOT have performed in a little while.

Sammy also shares an outrageous story involving a dildo and a plumber, and we chat about unbelievable Air BnB hosts, AI chat bots and so much more.

We will see you for another Ratbag on Monday, and wishing you love and cheese cubes wherever you are in the world this Ratfood day.
