TV RELOAD

'Olympic' medalist 'Emily Seebohm' and 'Big Brother Australia' 2020 winner 'Marley Biyendolo' discuss 'The Challenge Australia.'

'Marley' is the basketball loving, social game playing 'Big Brother AU' winner who wowed audiences on his first reality TV experience. He doesn’t take himself too seriously and was a great addition to 'The Challenge Australia's' first series. 

Emily is the 'Olympic' Gold Medalist who was last seen on 'I’m A Celebrity' and her addition to this series was epic. Amazing ability on the challenges but unfortunately Seebohm did pick up a few enemies along the way and gave us some pretty tense moments between her competitors.

I will ask 'Emily' about her current relationship with 'Ryan,' I'll ask 'Marley' who from the 'Big Brother' universe he expected to see. AND we will get the dirt on their former rivalries - as I ask them my ‘need to know questions that will no doubt have them SQUIRMING in their seats.

Yvie Jones is here to talk about 'Snackmasters' series 2. Which debuted on 'Channel Nine' at 7pm this Sunday night.

Yvie started off on 'Gogglebox Australia' but quickly updated her TV status with an amazing effort - coming second on 'Im A Celeb' in 2019. Since then we have seen her pop up on talk shows, award nominated podcasts and radio gigs - and last year 'Channel Nine' gave her an exciting role on 'Snackmasters' - which audiences demanded more of.

We will talk about the new series today which of course you will get some exclusive insights but I also have a surprise for 'Yvie' in todays episode which I need you to keep in mind while listening at the start - unbeknownst to my guest..... I have 'Snackmasters' Executive Producer 'Caroline Swift' affectionally known as 'Spence' secretly listening in to the chat.

Will 'Yvie' be caught out, shocked or outraged as I reveal our hidden guest? (The things you say about your show - that you would say to your producers face.)You will have to find out.

P.S YVIE'S DOG IS WHO IS SNORING IN THE BACKGROUND!

Today on the podcast I have Australian Actor 'Ed Oxenbould' who is here to discuss his latest 'Netflix' series 'Irreverent' which drops this Sunday the 4th of December.

'Irreverent' tells the story of a criminal from 'Chicago' who is forced to hide in a small Australian reef town posing as the new church Reverend.

This is a comedy drama which packs a massive punch. With an outstanding cast that which includes one of my favourite Aussie actors 'Ed Oxenbould.' Who shot to fame in the TV series 'Puberty Blues.' 

He has then gone on to star in a string of 'American' movies playing opposite the likes of 'Maggie' and 'Jake Gyllenhaal.' He has worked with 'Paul Dano' and 'M Night Shyamalan.' Which is just some of his achievements… which we will unpack a little of today.

I will ask Ed about Puberty Blues Rumours and where they came from. What kind of preparation does a kid do before acting in horror movies with MM Night Shyamalan.' Plus some great insights into his latest project the ' Irreverent.'

'Sugar' is a female Pro-Boxer who has won major league championships and is making a name for herself around the world. Born in 'New Zealand' but when fighting internationally she represents 'Australia.' 

This is her fight reality-tv-show but something tells me - we are bound to see more of her - as she was a great addition to the series. 

'Sugar' did make alliances and made headlines across the country for rumours that started after leaks suggested she had a fight with one of her major competitors on the show. It seem like her pairing with 'Ryan Gallagher' was the main reason for exit but will talk about that today on the podcast.  

We will get to the bottom of her rumoured beef with 'Suzan Mutesi, what it was like to be a reality TV star, who she knew or should I say didn’t know and of course I will ask her my top 5 questions which will leave no room to escape, as she dished the first on her fellow cast members.

Film Director 'Nick Sweeny' is here to discuss his latest 'HBO' Documentary called 'Santa Camp' which is now on 'Foxtel.'

This feature film is a heart-warming true story, following one organisation’s journey to incorporate more diversity in the 'Santa' industry.

Yes 'Santa Camp' is about 'Santas' in 'America' going on a summer camp but I guarantee you it is so much more than that. 

It is also not just a 'Christmas' film. Nick explores themes about diversity and inclusion in a way that you won't expect. I fell in love with this film and the different 'Santa’s' and I am sure you will too. 

I will ask the director how he came across this fascinating idea? What were the biggest surprises he unearthed along the way, we will talk about the need for community in 2022 and where we are at in society with our ignorance towards some minorities.

Today on the podcast I have two guests who have already been eliminated from 'Network 10’s' new Reality-Show 'The Challenge Australia.' I have 'David Subritsky' and 'Cyclone Cyrell.' 

'David' is a born reality TV star first gaining attention as the non-celebrity in 'I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here.' He has been in the media spotlight ever since winning over the country with his fun and gregarious personality.  

'Cyrell' is known for her wild antics on 'Married at First Sight' and since 2019 she has also remained in the spotlight even after balancing her new role as Mum with former love island star 'Edan Dally'. Probably one of the shows most anticipated contributors with her reputation for hot headed drama.   

I will ask 'David' about his roots in the UK and if he wants to crack the market over seas? We will discuss all the the magic behind his famous siblings and what reality format he would say no too.

Then stick around for 'Cyrell' as she talks about her hot headed behaviour, why the majority of her competition didn’t quiet click with her and both guests will answer some rapid fire questions that will give you some burning-hot-tea.

Today on the podcast I have two guests joining me today to discuss their extraordinary work on the two part series: 'Claremont: A Killer Among Us.'  

Which debuted last night on 'Network Ten' and concludes this evening at 7:30. (Thursday 24th of November 2022)

The series will be available on 'Ten Play' if you want to catch up on this brilliant series after the release date. I was lucky enough to preview the series and I straight away lined up a chat with 'Network Ten' publicity. As I wanted to talk to the creators after being wowed by their storytelling abilities.

'Dan Brown' joins me from ‘Joined Up Films.’ He is the 'Executive Producer' / 'Creative Director' on the series and his insights today on how he managed to produce this series with empathy and integrity is fascinating. 

He is joined by 'Network Executive Producer' at 'Network Ten' 'Ciaran Flannery.' Who shared 'Dan’s' vision for this story and should be really proud of the finished product because it is first class storytelling in the genre of True-Crime.

The 'Claremont' murders rocked 'Western Australia' for decades with no resolution for some time with many people aware of a killer walking amongst their community. 

It is one of 'Australia’s' most notorious cases and while we have the man behind bars - there is lots to discuss, as the series unpacks, DNA technology, the Police’s dedication and includes the stories from the victims of these horrendous crimes.  

We will talk about the popularity of True-Crime and why it is a current phenomenon. What sort of integrity was needed to tell the story properly. Some of the decisions in what made the final cut and how they managed to get so many people to be included in this series.

'Jack Vidgen' and 'Suzan Mutesi' talk their big game in 'The Challenge Australia.'

Suzan Mutesi is an Ugandan-Australian actress, model and fashion designer. Who bit off more than she could chew in the latest TV series featuring twenty-two Australian reality stars and celebrities.

There is a popular theory amongst Australian media that wherever 'Suzan' goes there is usually drama. I managed to see a softer side to her as we unpack her time on the show.

I have put her exit-interview second because she was in a room with a nasty echo but I still wanted you guys to hear our chat - so stick around after my chat with 'Jack' to hear Mutesi spill the tea on 'The Challenge Australia.'

'Jack Vidgen' has been on nearly every reality series you can imagine - obviously he is a singer first and foremost but hats off to him for giving these physical and mental shows a go too. It is sad to see him go so early but as Jack himself would say - "everything happens for a reason." 

I will ask 'Susan' about the recent attacks in the media and how she copes with her life being scrutinised over. 'Jack' will discuss the drama we didn’t see and a feud that may or may not be still going? I will also find out which shows he preferred and both guests will take aim at their fellow cast members as we run through a series of questions I will ask all the eliminated constants that join the podcast.
