Leading Man Podcast (feat. Ian Stenlake)

Noel Anderson’s 15 Mins of Fame ·

2023/11/26

What does it take to become a leading man in TV, film and theatre? Is it good looks? Or is it something else that’s impossible to define? Cary Grant and Ryan Gosling have it! So does Australian actor Ian Stenlake. He’s been a “leading man” in popular TV shows like Sea Patrol, The Secret Daughter, Dance Academy and Stingers, and in hit musicals like Mamma Mia, Oklahoma and Sam Mendes’ production of Cabaret opposite Aussie songstress, Tina Arena. Currently, Ian is touring Australia in Elvis: A Musical

It’s only a hop, skip, and a jump from Australia, and you’ll get to taste some mouth-watering Indonesian cuisine. There’s a lot to do in Bali. I know because I just got back!

A few weeks ago, a friend confessed that he didn’t understand the Voice Referendum. It got me thinking, which is always dangerous…but what could I do to help people who were a little confused by the Voice to Parliament, like my friend? This short podcast aims to present a balanced perspective, highlighting both the pros and cons of the argument while keeping the information simple and factual.

Once Upon A Diva Podcast (feat. Helen Walsh)

2023/08/17

How does an Australian singer from country Queensland become a global diva? In the 90s, I remember standing off camera and watching a young girl perform on Brisbane morning television. She was in the studio to help publicise a musical I was directing as she was the leading lady. Her name is Helen Walsh. Since then Helen has sung on stages in London’s West End and around the globe. Performing in Cats, Mamma Mia, Les Misérables (7 times) and Wicked. She is currently touring Australia in Mary Poppins

Beyond Priscilla Podcast featuring Gavin Roach

Noel Anderson’s 15 Mins of Fame ·

2023/06/29

A lot’s changed since ‘The Boys in the Band’ first shocked Broadway audiences in 1968. The play’s bawdy dialogue and its queer characters dragged theatregoers out of the closet kicking and screaming. Angels in America, Bent, and even Aussie musical Priscilla, Queen of the Desert owe much to ‘The Boys in the Band.' It put homosexuality centre stage. This brings me to Melbourne based-playwright, director and performer, Gavin Roach. The all-rounder has created many LGBTQ characters since being

Flying Solo Podcast

Noel Anderson’s 15 Mins of Fame ·

2023/06/03

I recently had to isolate and test for Covid. I decided to make the most of the situation and record a podcast. But what would I talk about? I’ve often found myself “flying solo,” which has its challenges, as there’s no one around to pick you up if you fall down. Armed with my iPhone and a pick-a-box of podcast ideas, in this episode, I chat about travel anxiety, bad bosses (we’ve all had one), my no-pet policy, and why everyone who’s “single” deserves a bloody good fantasy!

This Sucks Podcast with Filmmaker Cameron A. Mitchell

Noel Anderson’s 15 Mins of Fame ·

2023/04/26

A few months back, I was contacted by Tequila Mockingbird Productions in Los Angeles about a film called This Sucks. They wondered if I would like to interview writer/director Cameron A. Mitchell for my podcast. Long story short, I was sent a preview link and watched the movie while eating a Vegemite sandwich. I liked This Sucks and thought it was very socially aware for a film shot in 9 days. We’re in a global pandemic, no one has a narrative arc! This Sucks is a black comedy set during Christmas

Filmmaker Saara Lamberg and the Risky Cinema Podcast

Noel Anderson’s 15 Mins of Fame ·

2023/03/08

Saara Lamberg steps on stage. “I’d like to be able to diversify Australian cinema,” she tells the audience at the Melbourne Made Film Festival. The fiercely independent filmmaker is a unique figure in Aussie cinema, a female writer/director/producer in an industry mostly dominated by men. But what intrigues me is that she also takes the lead role in her films. This includes the Westermarck Effect her most recent film. A story about a woman who falls in love with her biological son. It's risky

Kelly Cupo and Audrey Hepburn Consider Their Assets

Noel Anderson’s 15 Mins of Fame ·

2023/02/03

Flashback – Church Street sometime in 2015. I’m holding auditions for a new Australian musical called Audrey Hepburn and I Consider Our Assets. In walks Kelly Cupo, her hair pulled back and she’s wearing a tight black skirt. I thought her smile infectious and she lit up the room when she sang. I knew immediately she was my leading lady, Liz O’Sullivan. A young woman who in her therapy sessions imagines she’s talking to her idol, Audrey Hepburn. In the podcast, Kelly Cupo chats about singing in

Happy Every After Podcast

2023/01/10

“Deep sadness sits at the base of my belly always.” Ros Lewis is a Melbourne writer and psychologist, originally from the land of Aotearoa (New Zealand). She writes poetry, writes a blog (www.amiworthit.com), and recently completed a memoir. She’d probably describe herself as a mother, a hippie, a feminist and a survivor. Recently I attended a reading of a play Ros was working on called ‘Happy Ever After.’ An expanded version of a piece she’d written for a show I created in 2017 called ‘Love

It’s the happiest time of year. But what is the true meaning of Christmas? And what about the ideologies behind ‘Woke’ and Cancel Culture? Do they deserve a place at our Christmas lunch? I asked my good friend, Peter Van Miltenburg, to join me on this podcast. We met 16 years ago at Chasers Nightclub in Melbourne. He’s our 'Woke' Christmas expert and elf!

A Taste of Horror Podcast

2022/09/03

I was out at a friend’s birthday lunch and someone brought up horror movies just after the food was served. Judging from the conversation, I discovered everyone has a favourite horror movie they remember from childhood. “I loved Carrie! The Brian De Palma film, not the remake!” “I remember watching John Carpenter’s The Thing!” “I liked psychological horror…like Rosemary’s Baby,” I confessed. “Have you seen Targets?” Steven Boltz asked from the other side of the table. “I have,” I replied, “I saw it

Local Laughs Podcast

The Tap House Hotel in Balaclava is a couple of blocks away, and I have often dropped in for a little comedy on Monday night. The evening is called “Local Laughs,” except during the COVID-19 lockdown, it’s been on every week for 19 years. The longest-running comedy room in Melbourne! Judith Lucy, Dave Hughes and Adam Hills have all worked the tiny Tap House stage. A night at Local Laughs wouldn’t be the same without its mistress of mirth and MC, Janet McLeod.

Intoxicated - A Podcast Noir

2020/12/28

Several years ago I devised and directed a play for the Melbourne Fringe Festival around a monologue I wrote called Confide in Me . The show was called Love Kills 2017 It consisted of a collection of stories about love-going-horribly-wrong. One piece, Intoxicated, was written by a lovely lady called Melka Stansah. When I first read Intoxicated I was surprised that such a noir tale of murder, lust, and revenge could come from a sweet and unassuming creature! Gina Gray, Gina Gray. Her beautiful face,

Roadside - Inspired by horror writer Stephen King

2019/12/01

This Stephen King inspired tale will make you think twice about going for a stroll along the roadside. Some years ago, I joined the Melbourne Writers Social Group, partly because writing can be lonely and also to spy on other writers, maybe even even collaborate on something. Mat Clarke, writer and performer in this podcast, is the organiser of the group. Each year MWSG produce an online anthology, I thought it might be fun to record ROADSIDE a piece from the anthology as a short podcast. Both Mat

Is youth wasted on the young? Imagine if you wrote an email and sent it to yourself as a 17-year-old teenager, what advice would you offer? Would you tell yourself to do things any differently? Would you warn of all the difficulties yet to be lived? More importantly, would teenage you even listen. This is the dilemma in my new podcast Email To My 17-Year-Old SELF.

Confide in Me - A tale of love, gender and everything...

Noel Anderson’s 15 Mins of Fame ·

2018/05/20

Six years ago, I put earbuds in and turned iTunes up full blast. I hit repeat. Then, I did it again. It had been a week since my breakup, the pain cut deep. A 10 year relationship over. I had a lot to empty, a lot to get out of my head. I wrote overnight, stopping for Promite on toast then back to work. I was on autopilot. Just who is flying this ship? Stay in the moment, with the melody inside you. Out of heartache grew a rose with thorns. Beautifully sharp, about love and music, what else? Not
