A sneak peek at what Nic & Molk have planned for this season of the Real Housewives of Sydney...

We made it. The season finale of THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF AUCKLAND is here and Nic McLachlan & Steve Molk simultaneously amazed and devastated... AND FEEL TOTALLY RIPPED OFF that there's no reunion. What we do get to experience is one of the most confusing, blood-curdling and frustrating arguments in franchise history. Be ready to set the cat among the pigeons with absolutely no intention of causing a problem(!). Also: WHY IS THERE NO REUNION EPISODE?! WHAT EVEN IS THIS?!   MolksTVTalk the podcast has (again) been hijacked for this season of RHOAKL as Nic & I record a reaction pod for every ep, available just after the episode has aired, though since this is the final one it's a sad time for some and sweet relief for others. P.S. You're all chardonnay whores the lot of you.     NEED A BIGGER DOSE OF NIC? @NicMcLachlan MORE MOLK? @SteveMolk MolksTVTalk the podcast is made for DeciderTV.com

This is an extra special penultimate episode of THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF AUCKLAND. Just be cool and let Nic McLachlan & Steve Molk guide you through it because there's just so much to deal with. But first - where's Angela? Look, this is what we live for. One launch is usually amazing for any part of the Real Housewives franchise but TWO LAUNCHES?! It's everything we've wanted all season. There's lots to prepare for when there's two launches, not least of which is proving Lea the intern is still alive. Obviously there's still time for Michelle and Anne to attend a hip hop class before Angela's launch (Where's Angela?). We also get to attend Gilda's launch and the comparisons begin - in fact there's so much that takes place at both book launches that's all we have time for... but it's STILL SO MUCH!   MolksTVTalk the podcast has (again) been hijacked for this season of RHOAKL as Nic & I record a reaction pod for every ep, available just after the episode has aired. P.S. Where's Angela?     NEED A BIGGER DOSE OF NIC? @NicMcLachlan MORE MOLK? @SteveMolk MolksTVTalk the podcast is made for DeciderTV.com

Start your engines and prepare to be dazzled by the true competitive nature of THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF AUCKLAND. Nic McLachlan & Steve Molk pull up their comfy chairs and get to wondering if we've met the real Angela in this episode. After all we did see her daughter deliver her some home truths about her self-obsession at least.   There's book proofs & boobs to see, bad blind dates to witness (SO AWKWARD IT HURTS), Anne staring at Ben's genitals, and the big race day organised by Gilda - but nothing compares to the class 1 douchiness of Kirk. What a jerk.   MolksTVTalk the podcast has (again) been hijacked for this season of RHOAKL as Nic & I record a reaction pod for every ep, available just after the episode has aired.

It's a bitsa ep this week on THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF AUCKLAND and the thing you can trust is that Nic McLachlan & Steve Molk are here to guide you through it and help make it bearable. At least until Angela gets the girls out. Poor Doggy-style Dan is subjected to Michelle's lusting; Louise is subjected to Angela as they have tea together while Lou sweats out the outcome of her rehearsal; Anne is subjected to Anne and Julia as they go feed the Parnell Pussies (ooh-er!); then someone gives the ladies GUNS, which naturally Gilda is awesome at and the most competitive ones get all jealous. ALL THIS before we meet Gilda's someone-elses-money-spending friend Mark and Angela gets real while shooting pictures for the cover of her book. So real. Importantly, if you can recover from the bathtub shots, this sets up a lot of stuff for next week AND for the two book launches we have coming in episode 9. There's lots coming down the pipe, you guys.     MolksTVTalk the podcast has (again) been hijacked for this season of RHOAKL as Nic & I record a reaction pod for every ep, available just after the episode has aired.

We're still in Port Douglas on this week's THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF AUCKLAND but all of that is put aside as Nic McLachlan & Steve Molk set you straight on one of the biggest controversies to ever hit the franchise. This is super serious, you guys. Luckily it's all pretty much mostly able to be sorted out but not before some damage was done and (luckily) Gilda and Michelle had to miss Angela's forced trek to undertake the "laughing yoga and general bullying" session. Also Angela should never be allowed near fake tan ever again. PROOF OF LIFE: Lea is still alive, though barely as Angela was last seen dosing her with who-knows-what sort of drugs. It's gonna be hard to work out how they top this, but with four episodes still to go there's some serious crystal balling from Nic & Molk.     MolksTVTalk the podcast has (again) been hijacked for this season of RHOAKL as Nic & I record a reaction pod for every ep, available just after the episode has aired.

You know what THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF AUCKLAND need after a solid four episodes? A holiday in Port Douglas. Join them, Nic McLachlan & Steve Molk as we wind you through this week's episode for make benefit glorious nation of North Queensland. There's certainly a lot of business to take care of before we get to the mainland too. There's packing, bitching, a high tea, a spray tan, a fashion parade and some more bitching. Once we get to the resort the problems only ramp up trying to work out WHO IS STAYING IN WHICH ROOM! And Poor Lea gets dragged along to be Angela's slave. A failed drinking game leads into a big surprise, only to be gazzumped with another surprise from someone else. It's moments like these you need an assassin on speed dial. (Also: where was Lea?!)   MolksTVTalk the podcast has (again) been hijacked for this season of RHOAKL as Nic & I record a reaction pod for every ep, available just after the episode has aired. P.S.

2016 PRIMETIME EMMYS SPECIAL! The one where Mark Humphries and Steve Molk cast a longing glance at the winners, losers and hosting performance of Jimmy Kimmel at the 68th Primetime Emmy Awards. It was a night of diversity. Thanks to THE PEOPLE V OJ SIMPSON being nominated a billion times and winning most of those there was lots of African-American people onstage (which is a great thing), and Jeffrey Tambor's win again for TRANSPARENT along with the most outstanding direction win for the same also meant we got some pretty wide equality all up in our collective grills. Great wins for Rami Malek for MR ROBOT and Tatiani Maslany for ORPHAN BLACK threw the Drama categories wide open too. Add to this so many amazing people passed which meant a special highlight for Gary Shandling (delivered by Tambor), a Henry Winkler-intro'd segment for Garry Marshall that then led into the In Memoriam proper. Cue Hallelujah and questions of "why was that person included in a TV tribute?". It was beige and safe and Kimmel got away mostly clean, but didn't win an award himself - which a wonderful scripted piece with Matt Damon so reminded us of. Sit back, relax and let the dulcet tones of Humphries & Molk wash over you as you reflect on what was a largely successful and incident-free Emmys.   Kimmel's Road to the Emmys - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r54CqBhoIjkKimmel's opening monologue - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2ZxwsB_2_MDamon & Kimmel - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOJndrIrMQY   Most of Mark Humphries - @markhumphriesSome of Steve Molk - @SteveMolk

It was the perfect example of too much information, and this week's episode of THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF AUCKLAND delivers far too much for Nic McLachlan & Steve Molk to talk about. Our theory that Lea needs to be removed for her safety only gains momentum as Anne attempts to steal her away and Angela massively over-reacts to her car being in a little prang. There's also blood on the drama floor at Louise's workshop, and Angela's attempts to bury the hatchet with Gilda end up with said hatchet in Angela's over-smiling face. Later on there's the party at Julia's, which somehow very quickly became the gateway moment to turning it into an Eyes Wide Shut sex party. Cock rings and vibrators for everyone. Anne was not amused. Michelle was horrified but thought it all hilarious.   MolksTVTalk the podcast has (again) been hijacked for this season of RHOAKL as Nic & I record a reaction pod for every ep, available just after the episode has aired.

Warm your pussies, fill your glass with some moist, sparkling liquid and settle back and enjoy this great new episode of THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF AUCKLAND with Nic McLachlan & Steve Molk.  If it's not Julia off to see a woman about a vampire, or Michelle feeding Anne's pussies, it's the annual Pussy Galore fundraiser party that sees Gilda take Louise to task and Angela v everyone continue.  Also: SURPRISE! We meet Angela's French "P.A." Lea who it appears she has a crush on and is in a position where we might need to call in the Department of Families to remove Lea from a dangeros situation.   MolksTVTalk the podcast has (again) been hijacked for this season of RHOAKL as Nic & I record a reaction pod for every ep, available just after the episode has aired.

Hello friends. Nic McLachlan & Steve Molk are back to guide you through the jungle that is THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF AUCKLAND. If you thought we had a mark on the housewives from E01, you're dead wrong. I mean, the episodes starts with Molk apologising for goodness sake. There's so much to see and do this episode from: visiting Karen the Healing Practitioner (not a thing); to Michelle taking her daughter to fashion week; to Julia being horny; to Anne the Sparkling Wine Lady(tm) getting a consult; to Louise trying to beat the aging racket; to Gilda and Angela LOCKING HORNS AND TWO WOMEN ENTER ONE WOMAN LEAVES Mad Max 3-style.

WELCOME TO THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF MELBOURE S03 REUNION PODCAST! What a journey. We owned it. We didn't create any gossip, we just passed on what we'd heard. Joining me for your auditory pleasure this final incredible ep for the season is NIC MCLACHLAN and DANIEL BACKHAUS. Both of them so, so great and not at all limited by legal warnings or direction. It's two massive hours of shock, love, horror, hate, pillow throwing, tears, controversy, subterfuge, lies, revelations, #FreeJohanna, fucking Chessie and so much more. Yet we all still come away feeling like nothing was really resolved. PLUS there's revelations regarding season four, the RHOSydney *AND* RHONewZealand!

MARK HUMPHRIES and I settle in and reflect on the 58th TV WEEK LOGIE AWARDS. The fun, the shocks, the banter, the controversy, and the fact that it's still technically running. We chat about the overall impact of what was a pretty good Logies, all in all. There's talk of CRAIG MCLACHLAN and MIRANDA TAPSELL; THE LIVING ROOM; the length of the show; JULIA MORRIS; DAVE HUGHES; PETER HELLIAR and KITTY FLANAGAN; WENTWORTH; JIMMY BARNES; THE PROJECT; WALEED ALY and more. It was a hell of a night, and one where for the most part the Australian TV viewing and voting audience got it right.

IT'S THE SEASON FINAL! We made it. Short of an explosive reunion (and you know it will be) we're all the way through and S03E11 of THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF MELBOURNE delivers and delivers and delivers. Don't worry - Nic McLachlan and I will guide you. There's lots of loose ends to be tied up this week, including another family reunion, a fragrance launch, the angels, a reconciliation and one hell of a f#ckin' dinner! Everything gets rounded out nicely to leave just the right amount of incredible conflict for the reunion in two week's time. JUST SO MUCH AMAZING.

NIC MCLACHLAN and I are back to look at a whole new target - she of the arse and a half - reacting to S03E10 of THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF MELBOURNE.  Enjoy the mindsplosions of Lydia as she lives in her self-indulgent, self-deluded world imprisoning a dog and a housekeeper. Shudder at her ongoing feud with Chyka (all of Lydia's own doing). Laugh at Gina by Gina Liano's "wholistic whateverthefucksheis". Be horrified at the talk of Ben's swimmers and getting some work done at Wristy Central. Delight in Creepy Bruce finally getting the short shrift.  IT'S AN EPISODE OF SO MUCH THAT IT CAN BARELY BE CONTAINED! Also Nic and I come up with a brilliant idea for a spin-off show for Ben & Jackie. (c) Nic & Molk.

There's a lot to mop up after last week's Disastrous Desert Dinner, so please allow NIC MCLACHLAN and I the opportunity to talk you through S03E09 of this week's ep of THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF MELBOURNE. Get the f#ck out! Not only do we get more dinner shenanigans but we get some UAE culture learnings for greater understanding, Janet gets all hot and bothered, Jackie admits to being a woggy chick and is very hungry, Lydia & Pettifleur's attempt at reconciliation, the revelation of the real cost of royal weddings in Dubai(!) and MY PRECIOUS CHYKA LOSING HER SHIT AT LYDIA.

It's another REAL HOUSEWIVES OF MELBOURNE reaction podcast with NIC MCLACHLAN and the joy of S03E08 isn't just the locale but the attitudes. Get f#cked. Lydia again puzzles us all with her attitudes to animal love, we get a family reunion, there's a major Pettifleur breakdown, and you know they all lose their cool when they swear like the Aussies they are.

Look, we'll pretty much all agree that an etiquette class with Chyka, Chessie & Jackie is pretty much the funniest thing ever, so we're at least guaranteed that. This is despite protestations of love by others AND WHO MAKES THEIR DOG TAKE A SHOWER WITH THEM, LYDIA?!

Also NIC MCLACHLAN is back to help guide you and I through S03E06 of THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF MELBOURNE! Of course first on the menu is the possible cake destruction and Gina's perceived Celebrity Apprentice launch party and all the shitstorm that surrounds it.

Dear listener, you are cordially invited to the wedding of Wolf Pup & Gamble in this, the S03E05 reaction pod ep for the REAL HOUSEWIVES OF MELBOURNE, featuring the delightful ALEISHA McCORMACK. No RHOM wedding ever goes smoothly. There's always controversy and this time it's Gamble's "bestie" Gina that brings the pain - while all the others create their own special and unique brands of chaos. The Byron on Byron is the locale for the controversy and you won't want to miss a minute of: missing & stylish husbands; Celebrity Apprentice-gate; even more slack-jawed Ruprecht; Lydia & Jackie v Pettifleur; Alin *WAY* out of his depth; and the but-could-it-be-washed-out (we've all seen the promos and know it couldn't be) beach wedding of Rick & Gamble.

It has begun... THE PRETENDENING (aka S03E04 of THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF MELBOURNE), and NIC MCLACHLAN and I will guide you all through it. There's a number of let downs we have to work through, like: the wash up of the fight at Gamble's (herefortowith known as #InviteGate); far too much of Creepy Brian; Gamble & Hair Gina going lingerie shopping; even more Lydia v Susie; the Pitchka Queen permanently having her head done in by Pif; and that afternoon tea organised by Chyka (there's always a silver lining).

The one where S03E03 of THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF MELBOURNE consumes NIC MCLACHLAN and I, and we will never be the same again. Look, it's all about the last seven minutes of the show, but in the process there's more #FreeJohanna, Lydia's evil plans, a new Porsche, a blubbering lunch, effing Brian getting creepier than ever, and the much-awaited self-reflection regarding BABY TALK (please God no).

The one where NIC MCLACHLAN and I dive into S03E02 of THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF MELBOURNE and come out feeling a whole lot better about ourselves. Warnie Watch continues, as does #DrivingMissLydia (or #FreeJohanna - take your pick), and while there's talk of horses, cheating exes, gossip, Turkish wristies, baby-making sex, Pottery Barn champers, masturbation, flirting with the Porsche salesman, blogging and more - it's all really quite innocent.

The one where NIKOLE GUNN, DAN HALL, KEVIN PERRY and I have a chat about the righteous year in television we've had in Australia for 2015. From the searing highs to the sickening lows and the smooth, creamery middles we found enough to talk about that we can treat you to this epic podcast (grab a cool drink and settle in!).

The one where SHELLEY CRAFT sheds light on the latest series of THE BLOCK (in all it's octagonal glory), speaks about the launch of 9LIFE and getting her TV break on SATURDAY DISNEY. It's a fun but all too brief chat with Shelley and there's insight on this season's Block contestants as well as a revelation about Shelley's past you'd never have guessed. Thanks to Shelley & Nine for the chance to speak with her at the Qld edition of the Nine UpFronts Roadshow.

The one where STAN AUSTRALIA'S CEO MIKE SNEESBY is first in this three-part Australian SVOD special series. We discuss the process behind securing deals to launch on Australia Day 2015 with the entire series of BREAKING BAD, TRANSPARENT and more, along with the additions that have come since in BETTER CALL SAUL, MOZART IN THE JUNGLE and much more. There's talk of commercial FTA live-streaming and the Stan original series NO ACTIVITY and WOLF CREEK (coming in 2016). This is the first of three in this series speaking with the people that run the SVOD services Stan, Netflix and Presto in Australia - one I hope you'll enjoy as much as I am bringing them to you.

The one where Charlie Pickering and I start talking about politics at great length on a TV podcast. You were warned. There is much discussion about THE WEEKLY WITH CHARLIE PICKERING and the process behind it, including the writers and the things the ABC allowed them the creative freedom to do. We even leveraged in some HARD CHAT in the middle to appease Tom Gleeson. There's also talk of THE WALKING DEAD, OFFSPRING, GAME OF THRONES, THE PROJECT and lots more. A thoroughly engaging chat.

2015 PRIMETIME EMMYS SPECIAL! The one where Mark Humphries and Molk look at the winners, losers and hosting performance of Andy Samberg at the 67th Primetime Emmy Awards. Most wins were expected or at least pleasant surprises (Jeffrey Tambor for TRANSPARENT, Jon Hamm for MAD MEN, & Peter Dinklage for GAME OF THRONES for example). No real WTF moments other than the big Outstanding Drama win by GAME OF THRONES - against MAD MEN, BETTER CALL SAUL and more. There was that moment where they ran an In Memoriam segment for shows that left us in the last year... and spoiled the end of Nurse Jackie for Australian viewers. The dangers of delaying TV shows into Australia. Netflix fared OK but not great (1 win) & Amazon Prime took home 2 thanks to TRANSPARENT. HBO cleaned up thanks to GoT, VEEP & OLIVE KITTERIDGE - the latter gifting Bill Murray an Emmy. Samberg more than handled the pressure of hosting one of the biggest gigs in TV. As you'll hear from this chat there was so much more than went on and most of it was pretty great.  Opening musical number - https://youtu.be/uQKOBzINo-YSamberg's opening monologue - https://youtu.be/HyXSDIfhh5oIn Memoriam for TV shows of 2015 - https://youtu.be/quJDKF9aURo

The one where Dave plays the role of the nice guy a little too naturally. But that's just the kind of guy he is. A gentle wander through his time at NICKELODEON among other shows, appearing in the movie ODDBALL and of course his time on Working Dog's UTOPIA (Wed 9pm ABC). How much Dave loved the first couple of seasons of BIG BROTHER featured also, along with his endorsement of Celia Pacquola's eyebrow acting game. We also stop by his Toyota MEMORABLE MOMENTS ads with Stephen Curry and mention (though I think it got deleted accidentally) his YouTube Show DAVE'S SHED SHOW which is completely hilarious.

The one where Angus and I have an epic conversation ranging from his experience in film (MAD MAX FURY ROAD, THE MULE and more) to TV (FARGO, GREEKS ON THE ROOF and more) and the state of political and social commentary in Australia today. Prepare yourselves - this is a wild ride. We meander through all recesses of the film and TV landscape, pausing for some time (understandably) on working with George Miller & Noah Hawley. It's a long way for this one guy known for fecal follies. Prospective actors wanting to make it big in the US would do well to listen right to the end where Angus reveals a secret around what modern casting agents are looking for from actors. This is a really great MolksTVTalk the Podcast (#MTTpod) with Angus - he's just so interesting with many collected stories to share. Spread the love & pod it forward, please!

The one where Sammy J lurches from one controversy to the next, be it dealing with airport security in Dubai, to hating on Twitter, to the secret revelation of his long-held pastime as a gardener of sorts. Can't say I didn't warn you. Naturally there's lots of talk about his new show SAMMY J AND RANDY IN RICKETT'S LANE (appearing on ABC iview in September and then on ABC TV in October), including the Tim Ferguson connection, the Brough-mance and the great list of Australian comedians with cameos (also the new spin-off show Comedians in Costume having Cameos). Prepare yourselves for lots of comic nerdery & discussion of easter eggs that will make Rickett's Lane one of this year's must-watch comedies. Also: NERDS. While I think of it, just where was Sammy J born, and to whom? I'm super stoked to share this Sammy J chat with you all on MolksTVTalk the podcast (#MTTpod). Spread the love & pod it forward, please - I'm digging you all digging it!

The one where Brooke Satchwell springs forth and delivers missives on the cult of celebrity. Much like her life on DIRTY LAUNDRY LIVE. This all too fleeting encounter with the star of shows like WONDERLAND, PACKED TO THE RAFTERS and NEIGHBOURS covers many, many bases including the new cast of CELEBRITY APPRENTICE AUSTRALIA, her fascination with specific numbers and times, and why BIG BROTHER was possibly one of the best shows going around. There's even some talk of sausages, naturally. After nearly 20 years in the business Brooke has more than proven she has what it takes to morph into almost any role, and she certainly seems to be enjoying this one with co-host Lawrence Mooney. This is another great episode of MolksTVTalk the podcast (#MTTpod) - thanks for listening. Sharing the ep with your friends and followers on social media is really appreciated!

The one where Allison Keene sidles in and delivers all the warnings we need to know about what TV to look out for (& avoid) from the current US Summer and upcoming Fall schedules. There's some great chat about reality TV from the Collider.com TV Editor, including revelations about BACHELOR PAD and BACHELOR IN PARADISE, along with some great shows to keep an eye out for in UNREAL, HANNIBAL and MR ROBOT. We dive through the shows that America can thank Australia for making better and there's even talk of surprising sources for appointment television. My list of shows to look out for include FARGO S02, RECTIFY S03 and EPISODES S02/S03... Allison was much kinder and more brutal somehow at the same time. This is a great chat with a very smart and funny lady - one I enjoyed as much as I hope you will. Thanks so much for listening to any of these episodes of #MTTpod - make sure you follow Allison and tell her you found her via MolksTVTalk the podcast because, let's face it - that's a nice thing to do.

The one where Merrill Barr gives us the 101 on the US TV landscape - who owns what, just what is syndication and how to navigate the Broadcast/Basic/Premium Cable/Streaming environment. Basically - it's messy. Merrill does well to help us wind through some of the history as to how we get to the spot modern US TV is in, speed bumps and all along the way. Sure there's about 300 million more Americans than Australians but they've still got it pretty good when you accept just about everything is in HD, there are a billion choices and it's only getting better from there. That's not saying they get it right, though... There's even some 2015 Emmys nominations chat right at the end to bump out the episode length a little (well, I know you appreciate the value). Your listening and downloading of this ep of #MTTpod is really appreciated and I'm grateful to you for doing so. Please also say hi to Merrill on Twitter and tell him you hear him here!

The one where Dan MacPherson discuss is already very full career across Australian TV and dive headlong in the process of making INFINI and then popping up as horse-riding elven-warrior-prince on the soon to be released THE SHANNARA CHRONICLES. If you want to check out what the big new thing from MTV looks like here's the teaser from Comic-Con 2015: https://youtu.be/crjkQHnDYu0 - AMAZING! There's lots of talk of hair (NEIGHBOURS) and no hair (THE BILL), clowns (DANCING WITH THE STARS) and no clowns (WILDBOYS) and everything in between. What is obvious is Dan's passion for his craft, how dedicated he is and the opportunities that can be presented to you when you take big risks, particularly in Hollywood. If you never want to sleep again here's the DWTS/Mark Holden clown incident Dan speaks of. Thanks heaps for listening/downloading this ep of #MTTpod - your support is super important to me. Say Hi to Dan and let him know you heard him on the podcast!

The one where Patrick Brammall get straight into it and talk about his work on TV - ALL OF IT. ALL AT ONCE. We meander through working on UPPER MIDDLE BOGAN (acknowledging the new Gristmill show LITTLE LUNCH that's about to drop), OFFSPRING (*BIG* news for fans on season 6!), CANAL ROAD and much, much more. Given Patrick's time was limited we got into the meat of it, chewing the fat about GLITCH (premiering this Thursday 8:30pm on ABC). A new twist for Pick A Box Of Pot Luck as this week Patrick is faced with three Who Am I? questions based on characters he's played. Super fun! I really appreciate all the feedback I'm getting on #MTTpod - thank you for listening. Please do say hi to Patrick on the line and tell him you heard him on MolksTVTalk the podcast.

The one where Justin Hamilton & I talk about TV so much we don't actually get to talk about his relationship with TV (though from this episode you'll have a good indication of how it works). The real challenge we put to you is this: Can you make it through the 15 minutes of Star Wars Episode VII plot discussion BEFORE we get to the other stuff? The only correct answer is yes. EVEN THEN WE RAN OUT OF TIME! There's talk about the Australian comedy 'mafia' and Hammo's preference of reality TV shows, along with a smudge of politics to boot, mainly thanks to Q&A and the SBS budget cuts vs the SBS Amendment Act that didn't pass through the Senate. Bastards. It's also a special edition of PICK A BOX OF POT LUCK where Hammo drops some massive truthbombs about The Wire, The Shield, True Detective S01, Lost and Mad Men. You won't want to miss it! Thanks so much for telling people about #MTTpod and subscribing and all that social stuff. Say hi to Hammo online and tell him you heard him on the podcast!

The one where Gareth Reynolds regales us his story of suckling at the teet of MTV while delivering a show without one core ingredient. The very funny co-host of The Dollop podcast Gareth joins me live from his couch in LA while I sat in an office chair in Brisbane, Australia. Thanks technology. There's discussion of Trump as a legitimate US Presidential Candidate, the leaving of Chris Bath and Gareth shows his skill in Pick A Box Of Pot Luck with his special topic being Mr Show. There's also lots of bad singing of 80's TV sitcom themes. Whatever happened to predictability? STOP THE PRESSES: While I couldn't find the alternate Full House intro here is one with John Posey replacing Bob Saget SHOT FOR SHOT as Gareth and I spoke about: https://youtu.be/-qWZ9Hb6aKs SO WEIRD. Thanks so much for telling people about #MTTpod and subscribing and all that social stuff. It'd be so cool if you dropped Gareth a tweet or a post to tell him you heard him on the podcast too. #Shalalalaa In this episode...* News* Pick A Box of Pot Luck* Couched Time* Credits GET SOME MORE GARETH!http://twitter.com/reynoldsgarethhttps://www.facebook.com/reynoldsgarethhttp://facebook.com/thedollophttp://thedollop.libsyn.com

The one where Charlie Clausen REVEALS ALL about the rigors of auditioning and casting, what it's like to survive between gigs, and what it was like to hear the first Guest Charlie on TOFOP. He's also very sharp on when quizzed about Buffy the Vampire Slayer and reveals exactly what vegetable Jules Lund is most like. Naturally we talk about his new podcast That's Aweson, Kirk Cameron, Mr Bad on E Street, Twin Peaks and talk about his first time to LA Podfest last year. We also dive into why you should attend this amazingly cool podcasting event! More love means more podcast - thanks heaps for your support and sharing when it comes out. Make sure you let Charlie know you heard him on #MTTpod because sharing is caring, and what this city needs is a better class of podcaster.

The one where Dan Hall and I passionately analyse the final episode of Mad Men before we got distracted with other shiny things. There's talk of Boris the Black Knight, Agro's Cartoon Connection and even more 'Round the Twist (what a child of the late 80's this man is). Also Mark Humphries drops by to start off our discussion on everything Eurovision 2015. I unload on the critics of Married at First Sight (somewhat controversially) and Dan digs deep into his knowledge of reality TV to work out who got eliminated from what (hint: it's always the most annoying ones). All in all, a pretty full episode. If you'd like to support Something Wonky's Dave Gaukroger:https://chuffed.org/project/apex-cambodia-15 Thanks for your support and retweets to promote the podcast (#MTTpod). Make sure you say hi to Dan and give him a follow - always nice for people to support friends of the show!

The one where Julie Goodwin lifts the lid and dishes the (non-existent) dirt on which of the MasterChef Australia judges gives the best hugs, who is the hardest marker and who has the best poker face. THEN we start on her time in the jungle as a part of Ten's big start to the year with I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here. It's not all reality though... what shows impacted Julie as a youngster (and as a young mum)? What secrets does she know about Fast Ed Halmyagi? Why does the audio sound so appalling?! We're through the LED LCD looking glass here, people. I'm totally loving bringing you all the podcast, and thanks for your shares on Twitter and Facebook for #MTTpod. Make sure you tell Julie you heard her on the pod and how awesome you think she is!

The one where Rob Mills talks about life as a part of the first class of Australian Idol (and his realisation he was never gonna win in a year that had Shannon Noll and Guy Sebastian). He's far more than a one-note wonder though, and we wander through his career on TV including Celebrity Apprentice Australia, Dancing with the Stars and more. There's some talk of his theatre career and his upcoming cabaret show Rob Mills Is Surprisingly Good. How much does Rob know about reality television (more than you or he would think!), he shares with us his favourite TV secrets, what job he's coveting next and in a very special surprise Millsy drops a cracking rumour about the Top Gear UK casting too! Don't say we're not full of surprises here at the MolksTVTalk podcast! Do people sing or mime at live events? SECRETS ARE REVEALED! Thanks so much for all the nice things you're saying about podcast (#MTTpod) too, and pointing people in its direction. There's so much more to come this year and I'm encouraged by your enthusiasm for the pod! GOODNIGHT AUSTRALIA!

HAPPY LOGIES AFTERMATH! What a night it was. Tears, desperation, disappointment - all that just from the radio people on the red carpet trying to get the attention of our stars for interviews. The Logies have once again been run and won and in this 57th year going live to air (for the east coast) made it all the more engaging and energetic. That doesn't mean there wasn't the pre-requisite awkwardness of say a Chris Brown and Jennifer Hawkins into, but nonetheless it was fun. Fellow Logies tragic Mark Humphries is back to discuss the televised delights that were the 2015 Logies with me, all for your enjoyment. We discuss all the important things: Jules Lund's questioning technique, Erin Molan's nod to Sharon Stone, the #ClothAnus, The Script, Julia Morris's faux pax, The rose ceremony... SO MANY LOGIES THINGS! As mentioned this ep there's even a visit from Bert Newton and his very special 1988 Logies Hall of Fame induction speech at the end of the pod. Thanks for spreading the word about the return of the MolksTVTalk podcast (#MTTpod) and letting people know where to find this corner of fun on the internet. In this episode...* Logies, Logies, Logies! SO MUCH HUMPHRIES!http://twitter.com/humphriesmarkhttp://www.facebook.com/markhumphriescomedyhttp://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/series/the-roast

The one where Mr Sam Mac & Jules Schiller take us behind the curtain of working near TV. For Sam that includes life on Wake Up! and all that entailed, and for Jules that's The White Room and seeing your great new panel show become a network casualty. There's revelations on Scott Cam, Carrie Bickmore and Steve Peacocke; The ARIAs; and some hot Logies gossip (what exactly is it like to get thrown out of the Media Room?). Given it's Logies week we seek wisdom from our guests as to who will win the big awards at this year's ceremony. Oh, and this is that Top Design thing I talk about - https://youtu.be/SP_kCeJQC08 Feel free to tell other people on social media about the MolksTVTalk podcast (#MTTpod) and it's always great when you let our guests know you heard them and that you think they were great too. There's even a special challenge set for you! Hashtag no regrets.

The one where Julia Morris talks about all things I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here, her lust for Chris Brown, life on House Husbands, how gossip columnists just make stuff up and all sorts of other things. There's some great conversation about getting her start on TV in Australia, life on TV in the UK, coming back and then going to the US where... nothing. Celebrity Apprentice gets a guernsey along too. Also her ladyness has one of the best laughs in the biz. Warning: Mutual admiration society ahead. If you like the episode do tell Julia via your favourite social media platform that you heard her on the MolksTVTalk podcast and how awesome she is. Thank you all for continuing to share the #MTTpod episodes. Every listen counts.

The one where Mark Humphries barely scratches the surface when it comes to life on A Rational Fear, The Roast and becoming the ire of politicians across Australia. This first of what will be hopefully many conversations with Mark picks at the surface of what it means to have to watch The Bolt Report and Insiders every week and life in auditions for advertisements. Lots of great distracting discussion about television in the 80's and a mandatory discussion about Eurovision, and the reveal of THE BIG LIE. It'd be super great to tell Mark how much you enjoyed hearing him on the MolksTVTalk podcast, because everyone enjoys hearing nice things about things they do. Thanks also for sharing that the #MTTpod is back and passing it on with a recommendation. Sharing is caring.

The one where Shaynna Blaze reveals what and how she watches TV, and what she really thinks of Neale Whitaker, Darren Palmer, Andrew Winter and Charlie Albone (it's all good, don't panic). It's a great if a little noisy chat about how HRH Blaze came to be on TV later in her career and how moments can mean big things. There's also lots of talk of The Block and Selling Houses Australia (and I reveal just how little I understand about colours and basic design principles - no surprises there). Make sure you tell Shaynna you heard her on the MolksTVTalk podcast and how much you enjoy her work. Please also continue spreading the word that the podcast is back, all over Twitter and Facebook. It's so very appreciated.
