On today’s podcast I have Executive Producer 'Alex Mavroidakis' who is proven to my most popular guest on this 'TV Reload' series. I had lost count of his appearances on the podcast and while you'd be forgiven for thinking we have nothing left to talk about I am here to tell you you are WRONG. This is our best chat yet. He has 'Love Island Australia' returning on 9Now, dropping at 6.00pm AEDT and then every Monday to Thursday, and a premiere special on 'Channel 9' after 'The Block.' The Series 5...

On today’s podcast I have House 5, Victoria’s contestants: ‘Eliza & Liberty’ arguably the most popular contestants from ‘The Block’ for 2023. This series of ’The Block’ we have seen more drama than any other series so far…. and after 19 seasons that is a pretty big statement to make. Viewers have been up in arms, Karen’s on keyboards are out of control and even radio hosts have been called out contestants... but the ratings are up and it is currently the most watched show on Australian free-...

On today’s podcast I have 'Victoria Montano' who is proving to be quite popular with the rebooted 'Real Housewives of Sydney' fans. The first three episodes are out and I have to say I have my favourites already. As I am sure viewers have too. It is kind of the nature of the show… right? However, I think 'Montano' has had some great one liners in her pieces to camera and I am living for the fact that during this interview she gave me a T-Shirt that says - it is bad manners to not botox your face...

We however do get there, and I...

On today’s podcast I have 'Krissy Marsh' and 'Nicole O’Neil' who have returned to 'The Real Housewives of Sydney' this week. The show hit a bump in the road after the first season and both these girls managed to be the only two who survived the recasting. 'The Real Housewives' series is an international franchise that has become super popular around the world. Everyone seems to have their favourite city. I personally like 'Beverley Hills,' 'O.C' and 'Melbourne' but I was excited to see 'FOXTEL' ...

On today’s podcast I have 'Tarryn Stokes' who has just won 'The Voice Australia' for 2023. The Mum of two, was just as shocked as the rest of Australia to take out the competition.. Beating tough competitors in 'Charlie,' 'Ezra' and 'Ethan.' Those final epic song choices of 'Simply the Best' and 'All By Myself' locked her in as the winner with LIVE audiences. If you ask my opinion. Helping 'Rita Ora' win as coach for the second year running. The Victorian singer received $100,000 and a record la...

On today’s podcast I have House 3, South Australia’s contestants: ‘Kristy and Brett’ arguably the villains from ‘The Block’ for 2023. This series of ’The Block’ started off making headlines for the tension between Houses 2, 3 against house 4. What we didn’t see was house 5 getting involved and the women from house 2 and 3 turning on each other. It is a lot! Not since 'Melrose Place' have we had so much drama in such a small place and the behaviour has been dividing fans. 'Scotty Cam' and the sho...

On today’s podcast, I have 2023’s TV Villain ‘Sam McGlone’ here to talk about his time on ‘The Traitors.’ Season 2. Which had its dramatic season finale this week on Network Ten.
