This week Tracey’s world is full of chaos, comedy, and a little too much glamour-gone-wrong. From a full-blown hair debacle to her latest makeup appointment adventure and press-on toenail obsession, nothing is off limits. We unpack her newfound tanning favourite, her weekly meal-prep marathons, and why she made macaroni even though she hates it. Bernadette also shares the dramatic Leederville car crash she witnessed, plus there’s talk of a Dress Scam, a shrunk shirt, and one unforgettable shoe-breaking story.

Listeners can now DM their voicemail questions on Instagram — the best ones will be played on air in future episodes!

This week on The Buzz with Bernadette, I’m joined by rising pop sensation Gisella Colletti, the powerhouse voice who stole Australia’s heart on Australian Idol 2025. From winning over judges like Marcia Hines to sharing the stage with Tina Arena at the Perth Convention Centre, Gisella’s journey has been nothing short of phenomenal.

Now, she’s stepping into a bold new era with her debut single “Good Enough,” an anthem of self-acceptance and personal growth that channels the highs, lows, and lessons learned after Idol. We chat about everything — from her early days performing at the Hyde Park Festival (where I first judged her at just 15!) to the emotional rollercoaster of life in the public eye, her creative process behind Good Enough, and her upcoming performance at Telethon Perth.

Gisella opens up about staying true to herself, keeping creative control, and what it really takes to turn a TV moment into a lasting music career.

✨ “Good Enough” is out October 17 on all streaming platforms.
🎤 Follow Gisella on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok to keep up with her journey.

Creative Chats with Alexander Circosta
Today’s episode was completely unplanned and unfiltered. Alexander and I sat down at Dinecaster, a pop-up podcast bar inside Mayfair Lane, and asked each other all the questions we’ve always wanted to ask. This space is designed for anyone who has ever thought about starting a podcast or recording a live chat in a unique setting. What came out of our impromptu conversation was raw, funny, and a little surprising—proof that sometimes the best chats are the ones you don’t plan.

🎙️ New Episode with Tracey

It’s great to have Tracey back on the mic! We set up inside City West for today’s recording, but in true fashion, the cleaner decided to shut the whole place down mid-episode. Cue a podcast-turned-walk-and-talk adventure.

Between keeping Tracey’s focus (always a challenge) and dodging locked doors, we managed to dive into some juicy topics:

Our brand-new diet regime we’re kicking off together

Tracey’s big celebratory news from her trip to Vegas 🎉

In this special episode of The Buzz with Bernadette, I sit down with my daughter Tiffany for some unfiltered mother–daughter chat. We talk about life behind the scenes, her own take on growing up around events and social media, and the kind of honesty only family can bring. It’s a fun, candid conversation full of laughs, little truths, and a glimpse into our world outside the spotlight.

In Episode 56 of The Buzz with Bernadette, we recap the massive launch of Pancho’s Mexican in Fremantle, where I curated one of my biggest media guest lists yet—over 250 people celebrating the new venue inside the Australian Hotel. Then we dive into Chicks at the Flicks with The Big Bold Beautiful Journey, sharing my thoughts on the film and the crowd it pulled. Plus, we explore the rise and fall of TikTok star Rheesa Teesa, and I leave you with teasers for what’s coming next—new streaming gems like Netflix’s Black Rabbit and Prime Video’s The Girlfriend.

🎙️ In this latest episode of Creative Chats, Alexander Circosta and I have the pleasure of welcoming Natalie Cameron for her very first-ever podcast episode!

Natalie is the powerhouse behind the NRC Agency, with campaigns for Paramount AU, StudioCanal, and Kismet Movies under her belt. With decades of experience in Perth’s media scene, she shares brilliant insights into PR and what really goes on behind the curtain.

It’s fun, insightful, and the perfect introduction to Natalie’s podcast debut. Tune in now!

In this episode of The Buzz with Bernadette, we’re diving into two powerful stories that will leave you thinking long after you hit pause.

First up is The Long Walk – a heartfelt film that explores how strangers become friends, how resilience is built step by step, and why five days of walking together can form bonds that last a lifetime. I share my honest review, key takeaways, and why this movie is a must-watch for anyone who values connection, friendship, and real human stories.

Then we switch gears to Netflix’s shocking true-crime documentary Unknown Number: The High School Catfish. I break down the jaw-dropping case of Kendra Licari, the Michigan mum who tormented her own daughter and her daughter’s boyfriend with hundreds of anonymous, threatening texts. You’ll hear not only what the documentary shows but also the disturbing facts it left out—financial struggles, obsession, FBI investigation details, and the community fallout.

This double-feature episode blends heartfelt storytelling with true crime analysis—perfect for fans of Netflix documentaries, reality TV, and real-life drama.
