TV RELOAD

On today’s pod I am lucky enough to be chatting to ‘Farmer Andrew’ from ‘Channel Seven’s’ currant series of ‘Farmer Wants a Wife!’

Thousands of eligible single ladies had applied to meet these farmers and each episode we have watched as five special girls compete for the affection of 'Farmer Andrew.' With some interesting drama along the way.

'Farmer Andrew' is a 41-year-old mixed crop and sheep farmer from New South Wales. He is the oldest farmer we have seen on the show for a while but I think that has made him take the show more seriously.

 We know that all the farmers find love - so it is a mater of working out who they will pick?

• I will find  out about 'Framer Andrew’s 'relationship with producers and if he always saw eye to eye during production?
• 'Farmer Andrew' will explain how he really felt with some of the conflict that occurred at the Country-Ball.
• I will talk about 'Farmer Andrew’s' relationship with 'Claire' and if she has manipulated his time?

Plus we will get plenty of exclusives from behind the scenes of ‘Farmer Wants a Wife.’ Which continues this week on 'Channel Seven.' And you can catch up on 'Seven Plus' if you have fallen behind?

This chat I am joined by 50% of the 'Will and Woody Drive Show' from 'KISS FM.'  That is the 'Woody' part just for clarity! The man who has just been eliminated from the African Jungle on ‘I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here.’

The popular Radio host had taken on 'Celebrity Apprentice,' 'Ninja Warrior' but nothing prepared him for what 'Network Ten' had install for him. 

Yes tougher than getting up for Breakfast Radio, worse than a 'OB' on a Saturday and much worse than recording a LIVE for a Yogurt store.    

'Woody' Whitelaw' gave us laughs, speedos, and some tears and joins me now to unpack the reality show which has been a huge success for 'Network Ten's' engagement. 

• I will ask ''Woody' what the real reason was for taking on this show alone. Leaving his co-host behind.
• We will discuss some post game thoughts including what he should and shouldn’t have taken into 'the jungle?'
• We will also talk about the fake salaries being leaked to the media and if they were actually close to what actually turns up in your back account. 

Plus we will get plenty of exclusives from behind the scenes of ’I’m a Celebrity’ which is now on ‘Network Ten’ - which you can catch up on - on ‘Ten Play’ if you have fallen behind.

This chat I am joined by Australian comedy royalty ‘Peter Hellier’ who has just been eliminated from the African Jungle on ‘I’m A Celebrity.’

The former host of 'The Project' and staple on Australian screens has been keeping us laughing for years. I personally loved him on 'Rove' and have always enjoyed his obvious humour, social commentary even when at times it boarders on a good Dad joke. 

The fact 'Pete' said yes to 'the jungle,' took on those challenges, ate disgusting food and gave us so many laughs this season is a testament the awesome guy 'Pete' truely is behind the scenes!

• I will ask 'Pete' about his time on The project and what he really thought of the people who said yes to going in the jungle!
• Pete and I will discuss that finale food trial and why we never see the celebs hold their noses. 
• We will also get a shock admission as to who hr thinks should replace 'Dr Chris Brown' as he leaves the show this season.

Plus we will get plenty of exclusives from behind the scenes of ’I’m a Celebrity’ which is now on ‘Network Ten’ - which you can catch up on - on ‘Ten Play’ if you have fallen behind.

On today’s pod I am lucky enough to be chatting to ‘Farmer Brad’ from ‘Channel Seven’s’ new series of ‘Farmer Wants a Wife!’

Thousands of eligible single ladies have applied to meet these farmers and each episode we have watched as five special girls have been romanced on national TV.

We know that all the farmers find love - so it is a mater of working out who they will pick?

'Farmer Brad' is a crop and cattle farmer who enjoys being around people and has been very genuine on the show thus far with his chosen ladies. 

• I will talk about how 'Farmer Brad' was cast and what he was worried about going into filming?
• 'Farmer Brad' will explain what he thought happened with 'Corista' leaving suddenly last week?
• I will talk about 'Farmer Brad' relationship with host 'Sam Armytage,' what help was on offer from production and if this weeks late arrivals have any chance?

On today’s pod I am lucky enough to be chatting to this years shock eliminated Celebrity ‘Ian Dicko Dickson’ from 'Network 10’s' ‘I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!’

'Ian Dickson' is one of Australia’s biggest TV personalities who has been asked every year to enter the jungle and this year it seems the money was right and so the former shock judge delighted fans by signing up.

'Dicko’ certainly opened up and spilled the beans throughout his jungle journey and while I do think we got a new perspective on the man behind the headlines - he has been overshadowed by some of the other celebs competing for that jungle crown.

• I will talk about that controversial spat between ‘Kerri Anne’ and ‘Domenica’ and get ‘Dicko’s’ perspective on what really went down.
• ‘Dicko’ will get a chance to respond to claims this week he tried to out ‘Anthony Callea’ on ‘Australian Idol’ back in 2004.
• I will talk about ‘Dicko’s’ game plan and if acting up to cameras may have backfired in the end?

Plus we will get plenty of exclusives from behind the scenes of 'IAC 2023.’ Which is delighting fans on 'Network 10' which you can catch up on 'Ten Play' at your convenience.

This chat I am joined by ‘Gretel Vella’ who is a Film/Television/Theatre Writer and is the mastermind behind the latest Stan Original series ,’Totally Completely Fine.’  

The series drops on ‘Stan Australia’ this week and this show is a little interesting and we will get into that straight away in the podcast but the series is Inspired by true events, it is a six-part “dark comedy” series led by ‘Thomasin McKenzie’ ( who you would know from the popular film ‘JoJo Rabbit’) and explores the complexities of grief, the power of friendship, and the ways our sadness can unite us. The series examines family, legacy and ultimately asks: how many lives do we have to save before we’ll save ourselves?  

I want to pre-warn you this conversation does include a lot of discussion around suicide and suicide prevention.  However, as the show is a comedy drama I want you to know the show isn’t completely gazumpted by the at times bleak subject matter. 

• I will ask ‘Gretel’ about the origin of this story and how much is based on real life events.
• Will talk about the shows in which ‘Gretel’ was inspired by. (When you see the show the hero house does straight away give you ‘Love My Way’ vibes and I will find out if that was the same location.)
• ‘Gretel’ will also talk about casting 'Thomasin' and why the international actress said yes to being in the series.

Plus we will get plenty of exclusives from behind the scenes of ’Totally Completely Fine’ which you can now view-up on -on ‘Stan Australia.’

This chat I am joined by Australian Actor ‘Lachlan Buchanan’ who is currently staring in the smash hit series ‘Wellmainia’ now on ‘Netflix Australia.’

‘Lachie’ takes on the role of actress comedian ‘Celeste Barber’s’ brother in ‘Wellmainia’ and while the show has been out for a few weeks - I thought it would be great to talk with him about his break-through role.

‘Wellmania’ is an ‘Australian’ comedy drama streaming television series co-created by ‘Brigid Delaney’ and ‘Benjamin Law’ for Netflix.

Based on ‘Delaney’s’ memoir-reportage hybrid, ‘Wellmania: Misadventures in the Search for Wellness,’ it follows’ Liv Healy (Celeste Barber), a 39-year-old woman who struggles with a "major health crisis" as she tries various methods to reclaim her well-being.

• I will ask ‘Lachie’ about his life in ‘Los Angeles’ and how he has survived for 14 years trying to crack the biz! 
• ‘Lachie’ will explain if the show was scripted or if they improvised a lot of the comedy.
• We will talk a bit about gay culture in television and film and why he thinks this show offers an alternative to some of the stereotypes we have seen over the years

Plus we will get plenty of exclusives from behind the scenes of ’Wellmainia’ which you can now view on ‘Netflix.’

'Sam' shocked viewers back in 2021 when she quit her coveted role on the 'Channel 7' breakfast show 'Sunrise.' Which was primarily responsible for making her a household name… and a staple in the gossip pages.

Choosing to focus on other parts of her life for some time Sam is now back on our TV front and centre -  playing cupid to five new farmers, plucked from paddocks around the country. 

I will ask 'Sam about her transition from serious journalist to Reality TV host and who has been her inspiration over the years.

We will also clear up the rumours 'Samantha' is signed for 'Dancing with the Stars' and what is next for her podcast series.
