Do You Actually Like...‪?‬ DYAL Podcast

The Rom Com is a classic movie genre, except for all those times it was 'saved' by a movie-making heroine. Does the rom-com even need saving? Is it worth saving? Listen as Brigitta and Andrea unpack the tropes, list the legends, and sing praises to our lord and savior...Bridget Jones.

Woah you guys. This is a big one. Harry Potter. It's a whole big thing. Books, movies, other books and movies, merchandise, fan clubs, many whole podcasts - so many things have come about as a result of the Boy Who Lived.  But no franchise is without its problems... and this one has some big ones. Listen along as Andrea and Brigitta discuss the good, the bad and the ugly of Harry Potter. (Please play the theme tune to the Harry Potter movies in your head at this point).

Obviously, we do not *actually* like crimes being committed. But, if you have ever read a few articles about a local murder, deep-dived into a couple serial killer wikis, or just thought 'I need to know more!' when hearing about a cold case...Brigitta and Andrea are here to help! True crime is a genre really coming into the mainstream, but what's all the fuss about? Listen as Brigitta and Andrea delve into what makes this genre so compelling, and what might not.

 Oh Survivor, our old friend. Once just a show beloved by Andrea, before Brigitta became an absolute Survivor junkie and the tables turned. Listen as we go over our favourite seasons, the differences between the American Survivor and Australian Survivor, and the beauty of Jeff Probst. Don’t worry, we’ve tried to keep this episode spoiler free, so if you want to become a Survivor addict like us you can! 

I mean, what would you do if you were stuck in a box for two weeks quarantining? Home renovation TV (not to be confused with Home Improvement starring Tim Allen) is just one of the addicting genres of reality television that just sucks you in. But does it for everyone? Listen as Brigitta lists the best of the best of the genre while Andrea enthusiastically listens because Brigitta really does know best. Would you dare to disagree?

Have you been doing some scrolling lately? Occupying those long pandemic days with a little bit of social media? Perhaps you fancy yourself as a bit of an up-and-coming influencer? Honestly, what on earth would we be doing without Instagram! IG, Insta, the Gram, the app that goes by many names is all about the visual and a great way to share what you are doing with family, friends, and random bots. But... Do we actually like it? Oh it definitely has flaws... and also so does everything? And what else would I do with my time without it? Listen along as Brigitta and Andrea dissect this immensely popular and often problematic app. After all, if it isn't on Instagram, did it even happen?
