Will and Woody

We wanted to tell you about a new iHeart original podcast, Charmed with Sam Todd.

Charmed is all about the stories behind collections, keepsakes and tiny treasures that mean more than they probably should.

On this week’s episode: what happens when you drop everything overnight and get whisked away into the high-stakes world of global pop star training? 

Host Sam Todd sits down with Ezrela for her first official big interview following her journey as the only Australian contestant on Dream Academy. 

Ezrela opens up about what really happens when you chase a dream on a global stage - from keeping her audition success a secret and uprooting her life with just one suitcase, to navigating 2 AM patio workouts in the dark, bunk-bed sisterhood, flying to Korea, recording at the HYBE building and the bittersweet reality of TV screen eliminations. 

They unpack the emotional weight of global fandoms, carrying cross-cultural representation for Australia and India, and why stepping away from the training system ultimately helped her find her true artistic identity. 

Plus, Ezrela reflects on reuniting with the KATSEYE girls in Australia, her lifelong love for Bollywood and Y2K nostalgia and how learning five languages helped her stay connected to everyone around her. 

Charmed, with Sam Todd. Stories worn to tell, with Pandora.
