TV RELOAD

Hi Guys, welcome back to TV Reload. Thank you for clicking or downloading on today’s episode with Lexi Dyer. Who is one of the cast of Aussie Shore a series now on Paramount +. A series that will polarise its audience but don’t judge me - I am kind of obsessed.

Lexi already had a serious tie to Reality-TV and if you are a Big Brother super fan you would know Paul Dyer for his very dramatic conversation with Merlin in Big Brother 2004… as a treat we will get Paul onto this call and I am a little too excited for that.

Aussie Shore is the spin off from both Jordy Shore and Jersey Shore and while it has taken Australia a long time to get here - I think the wait has been worth it.

The production quality and the pacing of the show is phenomenal. I am actually more prudish than people would think but I found it entertaining to dip back into my youth and live a little vicariously through these young people.

• I will ask about their casting process - how do you get picked for a show like this… and how long the show tales to film?
• You will get to hear us unpack the relationship Lexi has with her father Paul… what she borrowed from her Dad, what he thought of Lezi following in his footsteps and if they will watch the show together?
• You will hear about how hard it is to come in late to a show like this - as Lexi comes in on episode two and what she thought of Callum Hole also coming into the show quite late.
• We will even find out who were the easiest to get along with - the boys of the girls? Plus I will ask about the possibility of a series two? (I will be a little cheeky and ask who she would like to see cut from the cast.)

There is so much to unpack with my guests today there are some fantastic secrets along the way. So sit back and relax as we unpack Aussie Shore. The most bonkers reality show to date.

Hi Guys, welcome back to TV Reload. Thank you for clicking or downloading on today’s episode with Courtney and Grant. Two of the latest contestants on The Block which has been dazzling audiences this year on Channel Nine.

I am a big fan of their work so far and think they are the most likely to win this season and not without their faults. Audiences are often quite taken aback by their communication style and there are some interesting theories they are following a winning formula set by Steph and Gian.

Hi Guys, welcome back to TV Reload. Thank you for clicking or downloading on today’s episode with Sarah Walker one of the creators, Executive Producers and writers on The Twelve Series 2. Which is mid season on Foxtel and Binge

I am a big fan of Sarah’s work over the years and in a past podcast contract I featured LGBTI guests - I had featured Sarah's story and in some ways it was my enjoyment talking TV with her that made me want to start work on this TV Reload podcast. So there you go. A little bit of trivia for those who have been listening since the start. 

Sarah Walker is a highly experienced Australian author, screenwriter and script producer. She was the lead writer on Lingo/BBC1 ratings hit thriller The Secrets She Keeps and Foxtel’s The Twelve; she co created Network 10’s Wonderland and was script executive on the prison drama Wentworth.

• I will ask about the shows future and if there will be more crimes for a new Twelve moving forward and how important Sam Neil is in the continuation of this story?
• I will ask about the nature of Foxtel’s productions and how Brian Walsh legacy has played a part in making scripted drama. 
• This season feels a little easier to follow and its rare the second series is better than the first. So I will ask about the notes that were created before going into the writers rooms. 
• We will even get an update on the work Sarah has been doing with Charliese Theron and where those projects are currently at.

There is so much to unpack with some fantastic secrets along the way. So sit back and relax as we unpack The Twelve Series 2.

Hi Guys, welcome back to TV Reload.

Thank you for clicking or downloading on today’s episode with Kate Miller Heike who has joined the Voice Australia alongside Guy Sebastian, Adam Lambert and LeAne Rimes this year. I have her her today to unpack the new series that launches on Monday night on Channel Seven at 7:30pm. 

Kate is known for her music and her longstanding abilities to make a name for herself amongst an industry that no longer produces Aussie artists the way it use to. Rcord labels are behaving differently and people are finding music differently but Kate has managed to navigate some amazing career highlights in mainstream media. Like Eurovision, Cochlea and even TV shows like The Masked Singer Australia. Oh and not to mention the recognition amongst the Aria’s.

• I will talk about how she got along with the judges and what she has been left thinking about her time on the show. (As the show was recorded early this year)
• You will find out about the way she was cast including the revelation she had to auction for the job. Which I think is fascinating. 
• There is an opportunity to talk the conscious decisions Kate made about joining this show. If she believes she could turn a reality TV star into a successful recording artist and ever her insecurity about being on the show up against the other coaches altered deliveries. 
• We also discuss the theories there could be a competitive edge amongst the the two countries or if the judges are in it for themselves

There is so much to talk about with Kate. So sit back and relax as we unpack the wonderful world of The Voice Australia!
