On today’s podcast I have 'Tarryn Stokes' who has just won 'The Voice Australia' for 2023. The Mum of two, was just as shocked as the rest of Australia to take out the competition.. Beating tough competitors in 'Charlie,' 'Ezra' and 'Ethan.' 

Those final epic song choices of 'Simply the Best' and 'All By Myself' locked her in as the winner with LIVE audiences. If you ask my opinion. Helping 'Rita Ora' win as coach for the second year running.  

The Victorian singer received $100,000 and a record label deal with 'Universal Music Australia.' At the age of 40, she has become the show's oldest winner since the shows inception in 2012.

• 'Tarryn' will talk about her future in the music biz and how she plans to collaborate with one of the shows contestants who didn’t quite make the finale.

On today’s podcast I have 'Ella May Ding' who most of Australia would know from 'Married At First Sight' but is now the narrator of 'Love Triangle' a different dating show with a big twist now on Stan Australia.

The 'MAFS' alumni "never thought in her wildest dreams" she would be a TV narrator – let alone for another dating series. However, with a very worldly tone to her voice and enough experience in the game - I think this transition from reality TV participant to TV Presenter is going to be a smooth transition. 

Since we last saw her on television - she has spilt from Mitch, her former TV husband and found love again. Her career in television is on the up and if you missed the first season of 'Love Triangle' that is no bother to her, as there is plenty of time to catch up on the popular 'Stan Australia' streaming service.

• We will talk about the way in which this show works, from setting up three singles up blindly via text to the judgmental way we all approach dating.
• 'Ella' will talk about her social media and if she worries about being cancelled for her opinions. What she thinks of the 'Dominica' vs 'Olivia' debacle now that there is more water under the bridge and how she has grown from her reality TV experience.
• We will discuss some of the shows first matches in episodes 1 and 2. Who 'Ella' thinks did a good job standing up for themselves and if there is a real chance of finding love?

Plus we will get plenty of exclusives from behind the scenes of ‘Love Triangle.’ Which you can catch up on 'Stan Australia’ which already has dropped the first two eps of series two this week.

On today’s podcast I have Radha & Prahba the winners of My Kitchen Rules 2023 joining me to discuss this weeks grand finale on Channel Seven.

Raised by a single mother after their father passed away when they were just two years old, cooking became a way for Radha and Prabha to feel connected to their mum while keeping their father’s memories alive. I am not crying you are!

Beyond their culinary prowess, these twins are deeply passionate about helping others. Prabha works in cancer research, while Radha is currently on the path to becoming a lawyer. So beyond behind great cooks they are both super smart.

This series of ’The Block’ started off making headlines for the tension between Houses 2, 3 against house 4. What we didn’t see was house 5 getting involved and the women from house 2 and 3 turning on each other. It is a lot!

Not since 'Melrose Place' have we had so much drama in such a small place and the behaviour has been dividing fans. 

'Scotty Cam' and the show’s 'Executive Producer' have referred to 'Kristy and Brett' as the shit stirrers of the season but today we are going to get a much picture drawn on who these two really are?

On today’s podcast I have 'Kick Gurry.' An Australian actor who has been on our screens for over two decades.

He has started alongside 'Tom Cruise,' 'Christina Ricci,' 'Pia Mirranda' and so many others. In a career where he has collected relationships and connections that has ultimately led him to this new series we are here to talk about today. 

'Caught' is a brain child that came out of the Melbourne lockdowns. 'Kick' gained the interest of 'Sean Penn,' signed him up as Executive Producer. Signed up friends 'Matthew Fox,' 'Alexander London,' 'Lincoln Younes' amongst many others. Not to mention 'Susan Sarandon' and 'Bryan Brown' both cinematic legends.  

'Caught' sees Four Australian soldiers sent on a mission to a war-torn country who are captured by freedom fighters  whom they convince to produce a hostage video that goes viral. It is a satirical comedy that is bold and goes for laughs where most other film makers would not dare.

Today’s episode I am joined by the winner of ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race: Down Under’ Series 3. It’s the fabulous ‘ISIS AVIS LOREN!’

The Melbourne based drag queen has been dragging it up for over a decade, with hosting, lip syncing and over 15 years experience in suing and designing. To say 'Isis Avis' brought a polished performance is an understatement. 

From helping the other queens, her 'Donatella' in the snatch game and the 'Kylie' Green-Fairy that actually worked… Isis walked away with the crown and the only negative I can say we kind of knew who the winner was on episode one. Avis was that good!   

• I will find out how 'Isis' celebrated the win and who was sitting right beside her that made the night so special.
• 'Isis' will unpack the highs and lows from the series and talk about the most common question she gets from the fans.
