    Hi, it’s Benjamin Norris and welcome back to TV Reload. Thank you for clicking play on my podcast, where I go behind the scenes with the biggest players in Australian television.This week, I’m joined by the one and only Rodger Corser — a name you’ll definitely recognise from Doctor Doctor, Underbelly, and pretty much every major Aussie drama of the last two decades. He’s a powerhouse in scripted television, but more recently, we’ve seen him take a leap into the world of TV hosting.You might remember his turn as the mysterious frontman of The Traitors — where, let’s be honest, he was playing more of a character than just being Rodger Corser. But in Channel Nine’s new prime-time game show The Floor, we’re finally seeing the real Rodger — and it turns out that was a bit of a challenge for him.Now, if you’re wondering how The Floor works, here’s the gist: 81 contestants stand on a massive LED grid, each occupying a square representing their area of trivia expertise. In each round, a contestant is randomly selected to challenge a neighbouring player in that neighbour's specialty. They face off in a rapid-fire, 45-second duel, answering visual-based questions. The winner claims the loser's square and category, expanding their territory. The ultimate goal? To conquer the entire floor and take home the grand prize of $200,000.In our chat, Rodger opens up about the shift from actor to presenter, and the very different way audiences perceive you in each role. We’ll also get the scoop on filming The Floor in Amsterdam — why they took 100 Aussie contestants across the globe and how the hell that even worked logistically.Plus, we’ll hear Rodger’s thoughts on Rob Lowe — who hosted the U.S. version — and whether he felt the pressure of stepping into those very polished shoes.So sit back and enjoy as we dive into the wild, wonderful and slightly chaotic world of The Floor — with Rodger Corser.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Hey guys, welcome back to TV Reload! Thanks for clicking play or downloading today’s episode with the fabulous Alana McLean—fresh from whitening her teeth and filling in on breakfast radio over in Perth. Now, Alana and I’s longest-running joke is all about those ‘90s McLean’s toothpaste commercials—I think it was Colgate? Which is related to her phenomenal and unmissable smile. Funny story: we once did a photoshoot together for a breakfast show that legit looked like a Colgate commercial because our teeth were that good. Maybe I’ve just found our next sponsor? Today, we’re diving into Part 2 of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 14 Reunion. Alana texted me saying it was “all killer, no filler”… and weirdly, I kinda disagreed. As I had a major issue with this part of the reunion, which we’ll get into. There’s a lot to unpack—and for once, we’ve shelved the booze. After sounding like two bingo-playing grandmas in the last two episodes, we decided to keep it sober and sharp for this one. And honestly? It was a novelty. We’ll cover Kathy Hilton and Jennifer Tilly’s guest appearances, and spoiler alert—my negative reaction to this episode is very much connected to their involvement. I’ll get Alana’s take on Andy Cohen’s surprisingly bold line of questioning for Kyle Richards, and why holding her feet to the fire really made this episode sing. We’ll also touch on PK and Kyle’s unexpected friendship, and the silence in the room when Andy asked if the ladies supported “text gate.” You’ll hear all about Garcelle and Sutton’s return from the green room, and how Dorit baited Sutton into dropping yet another iconic line. And yes—feel free to take a shot every time Alana says “here she comes.” Finally, we’ll each rate this weeks episode and throw in some predictions for what’s coming next week. So, sit back and relax as we unpack the drama, the glam, and the chaos of RHOBH Season 14!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Hey guys, welcome back to TV Reload! Thanks so much for clicking play or downloading today’s episode—especially because it’s a special one. I’m joined by none other than the winner of Australian Idol 2025… Marshall Hamburger. This season was stacked with talent, and it showed—the show grew its ratings by 14% compared to last year. That’s huge, especially considering the stiff competition from MAFS and Australian Survivor. I was lucky enough to grab Marshall for a quick debrief just days after his big win. Now, I’ll be honest—I had a soft spot for Iilysh, and my partner was backing Gisella—but I’ve got to say, Marshall is a worthy winner. I’m already hanging out for his debut album. In our chat, Marshall opens up about the moment Gisella was eliminated, what it felt like to actually win, and how much his parents influenced his journey into music. We’ll also get into his love for all things ’80s—was that authentic or something shaped by producers to build a narrative? Plus, we dive behind the scenes: what was the vibe really like among the Top 12? Did he get the judges’ mobile numbers? How can we support his music now, and what’s coming up for him in the next few months?

As you all know, Housewives reunions are the Super Bowl of reality TV, and Alana is my personal Beyoncé. We’re diving deep into Part 1 of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 14 reunion. Now, full disclosure: I’ve been battling a little flu this week and may or may not have been on some strong meds, and genuinely thought this episode was a rip-roaring success. To me, nothing felt stale—it was all super engaging. But whether Alana agrees… well, you’ll have to listen in to find out. There’s a lot to unpack—so we’ve poured another drink, I’ve grabbed a box of hot chips, and yes… I may be leaning a little too hard into the Super Bowl snack metaphor. We’re covering everything—from the ladies’ reunion looks and the set design, to Erika’s wild comment about her dress being from a “random designer.” I’ll be getting Alana’s take on Garcelle’s downfall, as we watched her go from holding that diamond to throwing it right back at Bravo face — in real time. We’ll break down PK’s statement, Dorit’s surprising dominance at the reunion, and the slew of face-offs: Dorit vs Garcelle, Garcelle vs Kyle, Erika vs Garcelle, and Sutton cozying up to Kyle while leaving Garcelle hanging. By the end of this episode, you might have a bit of whiplash from the downfall of Twitter’s favourite Housewife. Plus, we’ll preview next week’s reunion and hand out our episode rankings.

Thank you for clicking or downloading today’s episode, featuring Logan, who absolutely deserves the chance to unpack her experience on Australian Survivor: Brains vs. Brawn 2. Making it all the way to week 7 in one of the least predictable seasons I can remember. Myles threw it out there, that Logan was an emotional player during the season but we are going to dissect if there is a difference between being an emotional person and an emotional Survivor player. Logan will speak to the fans reactions that ‘going to rocks’ was mentioned way too many times for that to be a coincidence.

Logan will share her thoughts on the remaining players in the competition and which player is a completely different person in real life.. I’ll ask Logan about the reception to her being a sassy player. If her experiences in WAG life actually helped her game. Plus, her rational on 'the covern' and a simple explanation on why that original alliance fell apart! There’s so much to discuss, with plenty of behind-the-scenes revelations.

I’m chatting with William, Jake, and Jaymon, the latest three contestants to be eliminated from Australian Idol, which means… yep, the grand finale is happening this Sunday night! I’m so pumped.

Thank you for clicking or downloading on today's episode with Lucina Innocence Who was the third eliminated queen from RuPaul's Drag Race: Down Under.  This week we saw some really tough competition in the weekly challenge. While one queen was destined to win others did better than they thought. I think moving forward the queens that are left are going to really going to really feel the pinch - as there are only 8 eps in the season and that finale already feels like it is inching forward. Lucina will share her thoughts on the way in which the queens read each other and if some of the other queens were a bit unfair at times? We unpack the game within the game and if there is any rivalry between New Zealand and Australia. I ask about those roses and if there were any regrets on how Lucina styled the gown.
