    Your host, William, delivers a Christmas story full of nostalgia and hilariously awkward office party moments — from wild 90s celebrations and legendary Kerry Packer-style hampers to the inevitable drunk mishaps. Then, on a tram ride home, childhood memories, quiet family rituals, and a brief exchange with a stranger remind us of the true meaning of Christmas.  Tune in for a warm reminder that the true spirit of the season can be found in the ordinary moments.  The Drunken Office Xmas Party - Written by Noel Anderson  Remember to subscribe and join the conversation.

    Pretty Woman the Musical - Podcast Review

    This lively stage adaptation of Pretty Woman surprises by offering an original score (co-written by Bryan Adams and Jim Vallance) and genuine star turns rather than relying solely on nostalgia. The show keeps the familiar Cinderella story beats but deepens the emotional moments with strong ballads and pop-country hooks. Samantha Jade, in her first-ever stage role, and Ben Hall bring the charm. They are supported by an energetic cast.  Currently playing at the Lyric Theatre, Queensland Performing Arts Centre (QPAC) in Brisbane, Pretty Woman: The Musical runs through 9 November before it jets off around Australia.  Review written by Noel Anderson Want to be a guest or get involved?
