    In Conversation with Cynthia Erivo

    It’s the reunion we’ve all been waiting for since they connected and cried during the ‘Wicked’ press tour. Now, with her brand new album ‘I Forgive You’ finally available to download and stream, Em reunites with one of her personal heroes, the one and only Cynthia Erivo. Together they revisit the tears that somehow had the whole world crying (or weirdly in some cases seething with anger). There’s also chat about Cynthia’s recent Coachella performance, the elite level of her attire on the day and why the ‘Waiting to Exhale’ soundtrack is the best movie soundtrack EVER! Then it’s on to reviewing and discussing her new album ‘I Forgive You’, which Em has had an advance copy of that she’s been playing on repeat.   Naturally Em’s gone deep in her analysis and review of it, MUCH to Cynthia’s utter joy, so prepare to discover layers to the album you might have missed, and hear about the inspiration and difficulty of writing and recording it.   Finally Em also manages to squeeze in a quick chat about Cynthia hosting the upcoming Tony Awards and also how not ready she is to witness Cynthia and Ariana Grande take on ‘For Good’ in Wicked 2, with Cynthia offering some VERY useful advice about seeing the movie.   Then in our Sealed Section, on our premium service Emsolation Extra, Em and her bestie Michael talk baby goats, Lady Gaga’s Tudum appearance, new season ‘Wednesday’ and ‘Hacks’, plus they dive into the controversy over Patti Lupone’s latest interview.   You can sign up and listen for $1.87 a week, or watch the full video via the Supercast website for $2.50 a week at emsolation.supercast.com

    In Conversation with Abbie Chatfield Part 2

    Okay, Em and Abbie are back to give you even more of their fabulous chat. Obviously if you haven't already listened to part one of Em’s conversation with Abbie, please do. In part two we begin with Abbie answering Em’s question on what she wants to do next with her career. That folds effortlessly into the realities of trying to sell a live show in a cost of living crisis, from Abbie’s partner Adam, aka Keith, giving her a reality check, to Em’s assurance that you should never associate your self esteem with your ticket sales. Em also reveals how much her career changed when she put faith in her own ability and audience of supporters, and stepped away from relying on corporate media too. There’s also a fascinating discussion on the need to slot women into certain categories, the freedom that comes when you let go of being accepted by the people you think you need to be accepted by, and how Abbie would like to be perceived by the general public. We also talk about the horrors of dating for Gen Z women right now, from the gamification of dating that’s come with dating apps, to how soft boys have weaponized therapy talk to gaslight women. There’s also great advice for parents of teenage girls and we talk about Abbie and Em’s live tours and how both shows actually help different generations of families connect with one another just by attending.

    In Conversation with Abbie Chatfield Part 1

    This is glorious and we just know you’re gonna eat it up! Obviously with Abbie Chatfield hosting her second season of ‘FBoy Island’ on Binge, we wanna get that chat out the way, but first Em has questions about Abbie’s new man and why she calls him Keith. After we’ve got all the goss on the new partnership it’s onto ‘FBoy Island’, at the time of recording Em had only seen the first 2 episodes but she had LOTS of notes that she’d scribbled down while watching, all of them required answers. There’s the men’s eyebrows, the attacking of Crocs, the audacity of straight white men, was one of the women a former Bachelor and how come they don’t say “F-Off’ instead of “F-Bye” to be covered off. Once we get all of those questions out of the way, along with some exclusive behind the scenes goss from Abbie and check-ins with the Binge PR person Chelsea, it’s onto what Abbie wants to do next. After making sure Abbie and her new boyfriend Adam are making good choices, with added positive sex chat and some bedroom toy discussions, and a deep dive into how neurodivergent women like her and Abbie over-explain and give away so much of their lives, then face clapback from people online and in the media for doing so. You can hear Part 2 straight after this in our Sealed Section, on our premium service Emsolation Extra. Sign up now to start listening or watching at emsolation.supercast.com.

    The Marriage Diaries - Michael & Adrian Edition

    It’s the episode that die hard Emsolators have clearly been waiting on, because after we put out the call for questions, we received almost 100 of them in less than 24 hours. Ahead of her sold out show at the Palais this Friday, Em is on throat rest so Michael Lucas steps into the hosting chair with his husband Adrian so they can answer all your relationship questions. First though there’s breaking Lady Gaga news, along with a very intriguing conspiracy theory to be floated as well from our Seahorse of Hope, Michael. Then it’s on to SOME of the nearly 100 questions you were all dying to get answers to. Together Michael and Adrian will answer everything from what have they both learnt from Em and Scott's marriage, through to their first impressions of each other's mums. We also find out their ideal place to live, would they ever work together creatively, who proposed and how did it happen? They even attempt to give advice for straight couples and Adrian reveals what it’s like to be married to Em as well as Michael. It’s everything you never knew you needed and then some, it’s also quite possibly the gayest episode we’ve ever delivered, so pretty much standard right?

    Very Demure, Very Mindful

    Whilst Em and Michael probably wanted to be very demure and very mindful during this episode, we kind of kiss that notion bye bye almost immediately because Em hasn’t even gotten a chance to have her Brat summer yet! The fact that Em’s very sick and it feels like her entire body is in revolt right now probably doesn’t help things much either. Naturally we’ve got a full recap of the Logies, from Michael’s experience of being there and discovering a brand new calling, through to Em’s experience of watching it after completing three back to back performances of her Outgrown tour across the weekend. We also get a rundown of the highlights from those shows, then it’s onto another prediction from the Magical Unicorn of Death coming true with the announcement that J’lo and Ben Affleck are divorcing. There’s a side quest into Katy Perry being an environmental terrorist, and Trump using AI generated satirical posts to claim Taylor Swift and the Swifties are endorsing him for President. After that Em and Michael are keen to reveal all their favourite moments from the Democratic Convention which is happening in Chicago this week. We get their predictions for which celebs will be next to step up and endorse Kamala, plus we also get a very special performance from Michael and Em has even more reasons to gush about Chappell Roan again too. Then in our Sealed Section, on our premium service Emsolation Extra, Em has a special post that her hubby Scott wrote about her to share, and they ‘Okay, Stop!’ the trailer for a new doco about monkey obsessed mums called ‘Chimp Crazy’, which is the new series from the creator of the Tiger King doco.

    Are White Women Okay?

    We begin this episode reminding you to vote for Michael’s nominees from ‘The Newsreader’ in the Logie Awards and of course Em’s bestie Julia Morris, who’s NEVER won a Logie! Then we need to talk about someone announcing their upcoming Arena Spectacular, it’s Em, she’s taking over MC (Mariah Carey) Arena, Saturday December 7, to deliver ‘Outgrown the Arena Spectacular’, with side quests on Chappell Roan and Kesha thrown in. Speaking of Arenas, we follow that with the news that Celine clapped back at Donald Trump with a sassy statement after he used ‘My Heart Will Go On’ at one of his rallies. We also need to delve into the bizarre revelation that US Presidential candidate RFK Jr dumped a dead bear cub in Central Park back in 2014, because why wouldn’t he do something like that? After that we're keen to talk about the trainwreck of a PR campaign happening for the new movie based on the beloved #BookTok book ‘It Ends With Us’. There’s a LOT to unpack involving the movie’s star Blake Lively, costar and director Justin Baldoni and even Blake’s husband Ryan Reynolds and his ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ co-star Hugh Jackman. Finally we need to talk through some of our fave moments from the Closing Ceremony in Paris as well as doing an ‘Okay, Stop!’ on that very unique appearance from Tom Cruise. Then in our Sealed Section, on our premium service Emsolation Extra, Em and Michael talk about Rachael Gunn, aka Raygun’s performance during the breakdancing competition at the Games.

    In Conversation with Rob Mills

    He’s one of Em’s closest friends and he’s back to talk us through his upcoming tour ‘Rob Mills Performs the Songs of Bon Jovi’, celebrating 40 years of Bon Jovi. The fact that it just happens to be on at exactly the same time as Em’s Outgrown tour needs discussion, so does the fact that when Rob told Em he was doing this tour, her response was “WHY?”. There’s also chat around Rob’s need for Em to take him clothes shopping, his new moustache, whether he will be revealing his hairless bod on stage and the damage ‘Wicked’ has taken on his leg hair. We also dive into comparing both of their shows, what is the Bon Jovi setlist Rob will perform on tour and why Rob needs to update his website address. Plus we talk airline nightmares, how Em played a key role in Rob auditioning for ‘& Juliet’ after he expressed zero interest in being a part of it and how much he misses it now that it has wrapped up. Finally promises are made to Em that Rob and his girlfriend Georgie aren’t planning on eloping when they head off overseas later this year. Get tickets and more details at robmills.net.au. Then in our Sealed Section, on our premium service Emsolation Extra, Em is joined by pod producer Ben to talk Menopausia and the rest of the ‘Outgrown’ set going missing, and the season finale of ‘House of the Dragon’.
