A weekly recap podcast of Season One of Masterchef Australia. Hosted by Zachary Ruane (Aunty Donna) and Mish Wittrup (Zach's friend).
Mish Wittrup and Zachary Ruane
Hello 2009 mates! Have you missed us? Well, as much as we loved doing Recaps for you all (and you never know... maybe one day... we'll hit up season 2) it was time for us to do something different. We have JUST launched our brand new podcast 'Mish and Zach's Leguizamarama'! A tribute podcast to our favourite actor - John Leguizamo! Each episode we'll watch a film/tv show/music video/Ice Age featuring John we'll be having a chat about it. Sometimes a mate will join us. It'll be fun!Please check it out via these links: https://linktr.ee/mishandzach and follow us on Instagram - @mishandzach Thanks for all of your love and support. You guys are awesome :)
Mish (Ballarat Arts Academy graduate, 2012) and Zach (Ballarat Arts Academy graduate, 2010) come together for the first time in 11 years to reflect on the podcast that started it all! What's happened to Julie? Where's Zumbo? Did spinach balls ever take off? Do any of you even give a crap? Probably not, but thank you for listening!Follow @mishandzach on instagram and keep your eyes peeled and your ears open! Their new project is coming...
72 episodes. 20 contestants. 3 judges. 4000 macaroons. 1 winner. 2 very exhausted podcasters that have been driven to the brink of insanity. They did it, everybody! They did it! Do they feel fuller, smarter and completely fulfilled? Absolutely not. Not at all. Bon Appétit.
OH.MY.GOODNESS. The final three turn into the FINAL TWO as Mish and Zach fall even further into insanity as they recap the second half of week 12 of Masterchef Australia Season 1! Do they discuss the intricacies of constructing a nine layer mousse cake? Yes. Do they discuss the complexities of assembling a three course meal that not only tastes good but also looks good enough for the cover photo of a cookbook? Sure. But they also chat about their first crushes and clubbing in your late teens.
WE HAVE MADE IT TO FINALS WEEK! Zach and Mish can't think of anyone else they would rather share this monumental occasion with other than two of the greatest acting/musical theatre students to ever hit regional Victoria in 2009. Tom Armstrong and Joe Kosky (Godwolf/Who's Marty) join our friendly podcast hosts as they celebrate the first half of finals week of Masterchef Australia season 1. Only 2 hours to cook 2 pies? IMPOSSIBLE! Or is it...
I think we can all agree that the best thing about being 20 years old in 2009 is getting shitfaced on goon sack in your parent's backyard whilst having an organised D&M with your friends. Zach Ruane and Mish Wittrup are so excited to have a D&M with their fabulous mate, comedian/podcaster Jess Perkins! Mostly they'll be talking about Masterchef Australia season 1, week 11 (part 2), but you best believe that they will also talk about how awesome it is that they don't get hangovers, the best way to wear your hair to attract boys and why Donnie Darko is the coolest movie ever.
Nothing says 'entertainment' like a 1 hour conversation about sausages between friends! Zachary Ruane and Mish Wittrup recap Week 11 (part 1) of Masterchef Australia season 1, which is mostly just a chat about snags, reinventing country music, waxing during isolation and OH MY GOD have you ever tried a macaroon?!
Nothing says 'Masterchef' like cooking lamb shanks for the Navy! Join Mish, Zach and comedian/writer powerhouse Naomi Higgins as they discuss the joys of watching Masterchef Australia season 1 whilst also trying to deal with the trials and tribulations of being a high school student. They're also so excited to welcome back Poh! She's back! We can't wait to see her win the title!
Highly professional podcasters Zachary Ruane and Mish Wittrup are joined by the delightful and outrageously funny producer/comedian/podcaster Sam Petersen - a Phillip Island based high school student who has definitely met the Hemsworth brothers. These three mates discuss Big W, Thérèse Rein and the importance of a properly shaved and roasted pig face. Join them as they (sort of) review Week 10 (part 1) of Masterchef Australia, Season 1.
Mish and Zach are back after 3 months of not wanting to watch hours of Masterchef Australia season 1! They apologise for the long break, but they sure are excited to join their culinary friends for the second half of HONG KONG WEEK! They learn all about wet markets and how they are in no way problematic. Also, what the hell is tofu, am I right!?
The contestants are soooo lucky! George has taken them all to Hong Kong! While there, they get to hang out on a small boat, kill fish and meet world famous chef, Jackie Chan. Amazing! Join Zachary Ruane (you know who he is) and Mish Wittrup (who the hell is she!?) as they ask all the big questions... like "WHERE THE HELL IS POH!?"
Zach and Mish thought they could see into the future... ten years into the future... all the way to 2019. They thought they had all the answers. They thought they had outsmarted Masterchef Australia, 2009. That was until the world famous 'Minestrone Taste Test Elimination' between Poh (she's a very well known Australian television personality with years of culinary experience and a raw talent for cooking that cannot be rivaled) and Sam (a 24 year old call centre manager in a fedora)...Listen to Mish and Zach slowly fall deeper into insanity as they review week 8 part 2 of Masterchef Australia season 1.
Join Zachary Ruane (he's famous) and Mish Wittrup (she is not famous) as they take a walk down the aisle! LOL. No they don't! But some random couple from 2009 do and the remaining Masterchef Australia season 1 contestants are catering! Surely an occasion such as this is worth its own special podcast episode... right?... right?
Zachary Ruane (as seen in Aunty Donna's 1999) and Mish Wittrup (as seen in Aunty Donna's 1999) are joined in the studio by the one and only Michelle Brasier (as seen in Aunty Donna's 1999). Join us as they discuss salmon terrine, the fact that Poh is going to win and our desire for a Zoolander sequel. Get excited for part 1 of week 8 of season 1 or Masterchef Australia.
