    Delta Goodrem Takes Flight: Eurovision's Most Unforgettable Moment

    Join Noel Anderson in a live outdoor episode from Alma Park as he celebrates Delta Goodrem's breathtaking aerial performance at Eurovision. He explores how the spectacle captured Australia's love for big, theatrical moments and turned a stunt into an emotional metaphor for confidence and defiance. With humour and affection, Noel reflects on Delta's journey from pop sweetheart to show-stopping icon, and why Australians adore diva moments that lift us—literally and figuratively. More Info: https://linktr.ee/noelanderson PS. Eurovision results will fall how they fall. But Delta?

    The Deb: Rebel Wilson’s Bold First Step into Musical Filmmaking

    Rebel Wilson makes her directorial debut with The Deb, a feel‑good Australian musical about a Sydney influencer dumped into her cousin’s rural hometown and the small‑town obsession with a deb ball. But what should you expect — pop‑driven numbers, warm performances from the cast, maybe even a score that sticks in your head. We review The Deb, a film that’s also been dogged by some behind‑the‑scenes legal drama, and let you know whether this Aussie musical is worth seeing.

    This episode is unashamedly about bubbles — why, you ask? Because we’ve got Dr Hubble, and the man knows more about bubbles than most people have had bubble baths. On Inside the Bubble for Noel Anderson’s 15 Minutes of Fame, he talks through the tricks of the trade, slips in a little science, and keeps the conversation bubbling along. Dr Hubble is in town for the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, spreading joy — and his lifelong obsession with bubbles — one shimmering sphere at a time. Think you know everything about bubbles? Think again. This episode might just burst your assumptions.

    West Gate on Stage: Nostalgia, Tragedy, and Melbourne’s Defining Disaster

    In this episode, we review Melbourne Theatre Company’s West Gate. A 1970s-set drama that balances warm camaraderie, blokey humour and the constant threat of danger beneath the unfinished West Gate Bridge. With strong ensemble performances and an imposing industrial set, the production captures both the spirit of the workers and the looming tragedy that defined the bridge’s collapse. It is an unmistakably Australian tribute that honours the lives lost.  More Info: https://linktr.ee/noelanderson
