On today’s podcast I have ‘Sarah Marschke’ who is our latest eliminated castaway on ‘Australian Survivor: Heroes vs Villains.’

Sarah is known for her title as ‘Miss World Australia’ and while that made headlines on a global scale it was the controversial acquisition that she pushed a competitor down a flight of stairs that had her competing as a villain in the current explosive season of 'Australian Survivor.' 

I always believe where there is smoke there usually is fire. So we will find out the full story behind ‘Miss Greece’s’ claims that ‘Sarah’ pushed her down the stairs. 

I will unpack ‘King George’s’ rivalries and what he is truly like to live with 24 hours a day. 

We will discuss bullying, trolling and the ways ‘Sarah’ handles the scrutiny of a public profile.

Plus we will breakdown the 2nd week of 'Heroes VS Villains' on 'Network Ten' which will give you some exclusives on what actually went down during her make-up free time on the show.

This episode I am joined by Joanna Werner from 'Werner Productions' and we will be talking 'Crazy Fun Park' which you can catch up on now on the 'iview' app as it is a fantastic new series on the 'ABC.' 

'Joanna Werner' is a three time 'Emmy' Nominated, 'AFI,' 'AACTA' and multi 'Logie' award winning producer.

'Nicholas Verso's' 'Crazy Fun Park' tells the story of 'Chester,' an introverted teen who makes the incredible discovery that his recently deceased best friend, 'Mapplethorpe,' is one of a group of ghoulish teens who haunt the abandoned fun park on the edge of town. 

With lots of practical effects, young actors getting their start I am loved this this series as the creators don’t stupefying their audience which is why it has been a success with young adults who at times can be hard to engage with.

This episode of the podcast I have someone I have chased to come on the pod since the very first episode. 

It is 'ITV Studio Australia’s' superstar EP and secret weapon. 'Jaala Webster.' 

Truth be told Jaala is usually locked away working on shows like 'I’m a Celeb,' 'The Voice' and 'Love Island Australia.' Especially at the times I usually feature these shows. 

It made sense to record this episode in the non ratings and this will be my last episode of the summer series before I am back fully on deck for 2023. 

Jaala and I met when I was in 'Big Brother' through an unusual circumstance - as she produced and voiced a side show of that series called 'Little Sister.' Which allowed audiences to get to know heir favourite housemates a little bit more . Of course I was a housemate and she was the voice of the title roll but there was something extraordinary magical about the impact she had on the housemates and the you as an audience. 

We will go behind the scenes on all the shows that has made Jaala the superstar we know today and I am sure you will love her insights and stories. All simply amazing and a great listen.
