TV RELOAD

Synopsis: 

Featured guest Michael 'Croc' Crocker from Australian Survivor who is the 9th person to be eliminated from the Network Ten series 

This year the global phenomenon produced by Endemol Shine Australia has had me hooked from day one and I have been lucky enough to get some time with Mick, appropriately nick named 'Croc' to discuss all the mess and mayhem from his time on the show.

The ex NRL Queenslander joined the competition with his sister in law Chrissy who has proven while she might not be the biggest Australian Survivor super fan but is defiantly a super threat.

We will find out what Croc thinks of Chrissy outlasting him, the aftermath of his mate’s 'blindside,' who he is still in touch with and why the hell is no one flushing Khan’s idol.

Synopsis: 

Featured guest Amy Ong from Australian Survivor, who is the 8th person to be eliminated. From the Network Ten series 

This year the global phenomenon produced by Endemol Shine Australia follows the theme Blood vs Water which sees competitors playing alongside their loved ones. Amy joined the 2022 castaways with her brother Kahn Ong and while we never got to see them both reunite - it was clear to audiences they have an unshakable bond.. 

With plenty of wheeling and dealing I actually really enjoyed Amys time of the current series and today we will ask her about why she joined her brother on the series, her thoughts on what could have been and who she thinks will win.

Synopsis: 

Featured Guest Erin Vincent who is the Executive Producer on Q&A.

I have been a fan of the ABC show for many years and what Erin brings to Q&A is her natural love of good journalism. From working behind the scenes on some of the best news broadcast jobs - it has been this program that has allowed Australian audiences to hear much needed conversation from which she orchestrates behind the scenes.

Networking her panel, preparing audiences with their questions and rotating hosts. This format allows us an audience to be educated and to feel like we are apart of the conversation.

I will ask Erin about what to expect this year on the show in 2022, why the change to Thursday night needed to happen and if the current government has any influence on the current landscape of the show. There is plenty more in our chat and I hope you like the episode.

SPECIAL GUEST ADRIAN SWIFT: CHANNEL NINE'S HEAD OF CONTENT PRODUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT

I have kept in touch with Adrian Swift over the years and what I have always loved about this man is his storytelling ability. Not only does he understand the fabric of engaging an audience - with the shows he makes - he is one of those characters that comes into your life who draws you in with his infectious warmth, generosity and intelligence. I could honestly talk to this man all day.

So who better to unpack and explain the current season of Married at First Sight Australia made by Endemol Shine Australia. 

We will have a look at his interpretation of the show and of course take a look back at the history of Australia’s relationship with the widely popular and at times controversial program.

We will discuss the importance of both the good and bad television critic's opinion of the series. Plus why the show still rates in the current landscape of free to air television and I will ask about the future of Love Island Australia, Snackmasters and Parental guidance.

Dylan Lewis has been in our lives, though radio and television for as long as I can remember.

He is a genuine soul who connects with his audience by being his authentic self. 

It is absolutely hilarious that he has just won another reality show but it is also really heart warming to know that he is just as loved now as he has always been.

I feel like this is going to remind studio bosses and executives that we need more Dylan Lewis in our lives.

We discuss the rumours about his casting on the show, his passion for Lifeline, his ambition moving forward.

And I guarantee you a few good laughs and some thought provoking conversation as well. It is all very Dylan Lewis!

Today on the podcast I return to talk television for 2022 with Alex Mavroidakis from ITV Studios. Mav is not only an Executive Producer I have worked with but someone who is currently at the top of his game.

He has started the year for his 7th time with an Australian TV staple, 'I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here.' Which has again won the hearts of its audience with his mantra "Humour, Heart and Heroes.'

Alex is smart, funny and is very generous with his insights into television - I honestly love catching up with him and I am sure you will too.

The season finale of ‘I'm A Celebrity' will have its season finale on Sunday night at 7:30 on Channel Ten and today we will unpack the whole series and also ask him the questions most producers would never want to ask.

From Beau Ryan’s exit to how he made a nobody a celebrity. Plus what he thinks of the Allstars concept and if we will see that in the jungle?

I have two of the lead actors, both Elodie Yung and Aiden Canto from Binge’s latest big budget series The Cleaning Lady on this episode of the pod.

Their series revolves around a highly intelligent Cambodian doctor living in the U.S.A as a cleaner, while waiting for a medical treatment to save her son. The female lead played by Yung witnesses a brutal murder that places her in a situation that is almost unimaginable. As an audience we see her negotiating with a high level criminal played by Canto and doing all that she can to stay in the USA and get the treatment her son needs to stay alive.

I have to say this show is quite compelling from episode 1 and for people who love suspenseful drama’s this offers more than just that. It is a fantastic character pieces with performances that will keep you watching right to the very end. 

BOTH THE LEADS FLOURISH IN ROLLS THAT WILL NO DOUBT HAVE THEM AS HOUSEHOLD NAMES IN YEARS TO COME. 

We will discuss the need for more compelling dramas with wider varieties of international stories and culture and also what it was like to work with Oliver Hudson the son of Goldie Hawn and brother of Kate Hudson.

Today on the podcast I have one of my favourite housewives from the latest series of The Real Housewives of Melbourne - It Is Simone Elliott.

We have come to the end of another RHOM series and with only the finale left, we as an audience have well and truely picked our sides over the most explosive divide ever seen on the franchise. 

Simone has laughed, cried, stood up for herself and won over the fashion world of Australian audiences. 

The blonde bombshell has walked away with legions of fans and if there is to be another series - already audiences are begging for her return.

We talk tantrums, female relationships and all the inside gossip from behind the scenes of this year. I actually can’t believe the tea this housewife spills,
