This week, we’re joined one of the most exciting creators in Australian musical theatre: Laura Murphy!

In this episode, Laura takes us from her childhood & early days as a performer right through to writing The Lovers, Zombie and The Dismissal. We get into how she actually writes a musical, where the ideas come from, what it’s like creating work with your mates & what she's learned being both the person onstage & behind the scenes.

We also talk about the highs, the disasters, the lessons, the friendships & everything in between, plus what Laura is dreaming up next.

And because we like to bring you the good stuff, we have the first interview with Laura since the announcement that she’ll be playing Jill Farnham in the upcoming Whispering Jack.

This week, Australian theatre legend Queenie van de Zandt joins us for a candid & entertaining conversation about a career that has spanned more than three decades across stage & screen.

From acclaimed performances in The Newsreader, Next to Normal & a glorious run of shows at Ensemble Theatre, Queenie has become one of Australia's most respected & versatile creative voices.

We discuss her remarkable journey through the arts, the challenges & triumphs of sustaining a creative career, her unforgettable alter ego Jan van de Stool & why storytelling remains at the heart of everything she does.

We also dive into her highly anticipated new show, Middle Raged – A Musical Meltdown, which tackles midlife, menopause, identity & the chaos of getting older with Queenie's trademark blend of humour, honesty & powerhouse vocals.

This week, the buzz is all about radio giants Kyle & Jackie O, the latest on Blake Lively & Justin Baldoni's legal battle, Nicole Kidman & Simon Baker (new couple alert?) & casting news on The Housemaid's Secret & the upcoming Madonna biopic. At the theatre, we went to The Prom at Teatro Theatre & My Brilliant Career at Sydney Theatre Company. On the small screen we’ve been watching Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model on Netflix. On the big screen we saw Wuthering Heights & sat mere metres away from Margot Robbie & Jacob Elordi. And in Lisa’s True Crime Corner, we learn about the missing person's case of Nancy Guthrie, mother of US Today co-anchor Savannah Guthrie & the new murder trial of Kouri Richins.
