Zemiro is the host with the most; she’s the face of Home Delivery on ABC, RocKwiz on SBS and calls herself the midwife of Eurovision in Australia. And she's about to present All Together Now, a big budget singing show on Channel 7.Born in France, Julia went to a French school in Bondi, studied drama and did improv and was an actress before becoming a TV host and interviewer.She talks about why she won't present Eurovision again, if RocKwiz will ever come back, plus her talents in getting showbusiness veterans to open up in interviews.

If my memory is on point, Jason-Scott Watkins and I first connected while live-tweeting some Eurovision action. That makes me happy. The Eurovision Song Contest, the live-tweeting, and thinking about the kindred spirits I've met online who have as much fun with it as I do.Jason's food blog Don't Boil the Sauce has been running for many years, featuring all sorts of creative dishes from around the world. At times he's even combined his cooking with the Eurovision theme, hosting competitions and votes to see which comes out on top! It's fun and educational! We discuss more about that in the podcast. Other nuggets of wisdom we discover:"If it doesn’t hurt anyone, do it until someone says stop.""I think we get in our own way of happiness... so just get out of the way and let it happen""You can be an arsehole to me, but you know what? I’m gonna fight you with the power of dance"And he lays the smack down to our previous guests, naming Julia Zemiro in particular. This could mean war.Check out the Ever-growing Playlist of Joy which now contains another three happiness-delivering songs!thesongnerd.com
Julia Zemiro has been amongst the top entertainers in Australia for over a decade. After an introduction via stage theatre, TV sketches, radio work and all sorts of performing, she is more likely best known as the host of music trivia TV show RocKwiz, or SBS' coverage of the Eurovision Song Contest. More recently she has shared the story of many other famous Australians and their childhoods, via the ABC series Julia Zemiro's Home Delivery. So it's absolutely awesome for me to actually be asking her the questions. We pack so much in to this amazing chat. Dancing alone, record stores which no longer exist, Scandinavian tax. Does Julia still want this career in 5 years' time? Did her parents encourage her to study acting? How did she score the gig as RocKwiz host? Who's looking good for 2016 Eurovision? And always the first question in the Kids Love Balloons podcast... What makes her happy?
