The G Spot

Gillian and Claire are back with their usual silliness and this week they’re talking all things female for International Women’s Day – Queen Elizabeth’s Instagram presence!  Joanna Lumley’s breathy elocution!  Julie Bishop’s exercise routines!  And their near religious experience watching Christine and the Queens perform in Melbourne.

Originally aired Friday 8th March 2019

Claire has gone AWOL so Gillian and Andrew are going it alone.  And they have got none other than Alan Fletcher aka Neighbours’ Dr. Karl Kennedy on the phone in his pyjamas.  As one of the most beloved actors in an Australian soap it seems not even a scripted cardiac event could finish the good doctor off!  In this brekkie quickie Alan chats about Neighbours fame, his talent for singing as well as recent collaborations with friend Bobby Valentine.

The G Spot breakfast show is back in podcast form!  The team, Gillian and Claire, bring you music and banter in a show they’ve definitely not just thrown together!

This week the pair cover a variety of stories – which may or may not be true – including the *real* reason opera singer Maria Callas got so thin; 20th Century sopranos; desserts named after famous people; the controversy surrounding a statue of Iron Lady Margaret Thatcher; distracting news stories in the time of Brexit; and is Theresa May really an algorithm?

Lauren Elizabeth is a singer/songwriter from Melbourne, whose musical passions span the genres of soul, folk, blues and country.  Lauren phones in to The G-Spot for a chat about the return of her live show ‘This is Joni’ – a celebration of the art and music of the legendary Joni Mitchell.  Gillian and Clare also whet our appetites with a little preview of Lauren’s version of ‘Both Sides Now’.

Lauren Elizabeth will be performing her show ‘This is Joni‘ at the Firefly, St. Kilda, on Friday, 1st Feb at 7 pm.

The GSpot team are the first ship in the radiothon sea, blowing their fog horn as they sail the sound waves. Their plan is to torture their listeners with novelty songs until they hand over loot for new memberships, renewals or donations. In the face of ‘a shit storm of crap songs’ the listeners remain buoyant and happily pay up as Gillian and Claire are almost swept overboard by the horrors of The Chicken Song, and Greta serenely pilots the ship, along with 24 new crew members, to a safe harbour.

The Royal Wedding has been much anticipated by The GSpot team over the last 3 weeks … but the actual event proved a bit of a fizzer … Claire couldn’t get past the worst telemovie ever … Gillian lost the plot with the bishop … and while Greta enjoyed the event she had trouble with her party prep when her Grandmothers wedding dress wouldn’t fit on her (adjustable) dressmakers dummy.

It’s the day before the Royal Wedding and Gillian and Clair haven’t been invited to the soiree Greta is holding for the event. They wonder what food she is preparing and ask the listeners to come up with a suitable dish to take to a Royal Wedding shindig. The winner gets a copy of the Delta Goodrem CD Album, I Honestly Love You released as the new  TV series Olivia, a bio of Olivia Newton John, hits your TV screens.

The GSpot team (+Greta; – Andrew) celebrate how age only sometimes wearies the over nineties.  This week, 104 year old Australian scientist Dr David Goodall, took life into his own hands and role modeled what to do when its time to say good-bye. Meanwhile, the newly elected President of Malaysia, Mahathir Mohamad and HRH Queen Elizabeth II , both 92 years young, showed they still have plenty of living to do.

Claire and Gillian are giving away a copy of Dirty Computer, third mega hit album for Janelle Monae. The task for the lucky listener is to come up with the best signature pizza topping. There is no agreement among the team – Claire is a traditionalist; Andrew sees a pizza base as a blank canvas for creativity and Gillian likes avocado on hers. Claire gets a bit tetchy about the idea of Peking Duck pizzas and the pizza wars begin.

This week Gillian and Claire are giving away a copy of Samantha Jade’s homage to the disco era: ‘Best of My love’, and listeners have to share the disco song they never want to hear again OR their absolute fave.  The team get so many responses they can’t tell if the songs are the worst or the best (except for Disco Duck which no-one likes). Gillian breaks into song a few times, Claire never wants to hear Tainted Love again (it’s not even disco), while Andrew does a death defying workout to Popcorn’s Techno Trance (remix).
