The Real Pod assembles to dissect the week in reality television and real life, with special thanks to Nando’s.
We are still buzzing after the rip-roaring success of the Corny Christmas party this week and we won't even let a rogue earwig in the studio dampen our spirits. There's a lot of exciting Real News including the secret location of The Bachelorette NZ, the celebrity break-up of the decade and Jacinda Arden's cameo on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.
There's also a great holiday-themed week on Great Kiwi Bake Off, where the contestants made ANZAC biscuits, glossy buns and spooky Halloween cakes. Trev took it to the max, Ana made a disgusting brain cake and Dean was in a grumpy mood. Also, New Zealand's Next Top Model had its worst episode yet and we're not even talking about the toilet paper challenge. It's the Real Pod!

The Spinoff presents SUPERPOD 2023

It's time. The Si-nal countdown has hit zero and our very last episode is upon us. Join Jane, Alex and Duncan for a feature length nostalgia extravaganza and revisit the greatest hits of The Real Pod over the last eight years. Hear clips from our very first episode, cursed footage from some very late nights, and a very special clip from a very special guest. In the words of the Max Key corner sting, we'll never forget you.

The final episode

It's the final week of both My Kitchen Rules NZ and The Real Pod and we are feeling wobblier than Matt and Kurt's panna cotta. Join us as we recap the weirdest comedian dining experience ever captured on camera, and the dramatic finale that saw the best (men) chefs in the country help to decide the $100K winner. Also: Duncan fell asleep in public again and Alex embarrassed herself in front of a reality star again. The Real Pod!

My Kitchen Rules NZ: Week 5

Did you ever stay up extra late, one hand hovering nervously over the remote, waiting to catch a tantalising glimpse of nudity on TV? You were not alone. Join us for the final episode of Remember When as we reminisce about the good ol' days of the 90s. When Sky 1's raunchy after-midnight programming, captured the attention of likeminded viewers across the nation.

Remember When: Sky 1 used to show soft porn

The stars are out to play this week and we aren’t just talking about Mike Pero at the Christchurch show. Celebrities descended on MKRNZ to judge a six course degustation, which resulted in some of the horniest feedback this podcast has ever heard. There’s also a lot of new radio shows being announced, yet still no invite for Big Mum, Lexie and Dunc? Weird.
