I can't believe we're at the final reveals which means it's the end of the this season of The Blockcast! We're going out with a bang though because this week I'm joined by the big boss, co-creator and executive producer of the show, Julian Cress. Julian has been doing this for 17 seasons and he let's us in on the secrets to a successful season, what some of his favourite builds are over the show's run and what to expect from next year's series. Plus, he has one last word on that cheating scandal... what a way to end this season of The Blockcast!

Well... that was quite a week, and that's before any building even started! Cheating scandal aside, I'm so excited to chat with Mitch and Mark's builder Jason Charles from Charles Bros. Building Contractors. Jason's a pro at this having built the boy's house at the Oslo in 2019 and he's back to do it all again! This week we head underground and discuss what it takes to build a basement space, what our dream rooms would be and how to make sure your home is sound proof, we don't want that state of the art cinema sound system everywhere in the house! Not your regular week on The Block to say the least...
