It's the final week of both My Kitchen Rules NZ and The Real Pod and we are feeling wobblier than Matt and Kurt's panna cotta.

My Kitchen Rules NZ: Week 4

The Real Pod ·

2023/11/20

The stars are out to play this week and we aren’t just talking about Mike Pero at the Christchurch show. Celebrities descended on MKRNZ to judge a six course degustation, which resulted in some of the horniest feedback this podcast has ever heard. There’s also a lot of new radio shows being announced, yet still no invite for Big Mum, Lexie and Dunc? Weird. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Things are starting off a little differently this week, and we're not just talking about Pascal and Vikki's gin-soaked salmon.

Remember When: Bill English’s spaghetti pizza broke...

The Real Pod ·

2023/11/08

Who the hell puts tinned spaghetti on pizza?! In April 2017 that cry was heard the world over after then prime minister Bill English casually posted his spag-covered pizza on Facebook and asked the internet to ‘like if you agree’. Was it a clever distraction tactic at a time the PM was under intense scrutiny, or an innocent play at connecting with the voting youth? Only Bill knows why he shared his controversial pizza piccie, but we’ll all remember it forever. Join the Real Pod community! Join The

The Real Pod ·

2023/10/24

In 2005, one groundbreaking makeup product emerged that promised to fix every one of our problems in one sunkissed swipe. She was a bronzer, a blusher, a contour, a foundation, an eyeshadow and a lipstick, and she came with an iconic jingle that basically defined what it meant to be a woman ("mobile, hairstyle, lingerie, PDA").

Celebrity Treasure Island: Week 5

The Real Pod ·

2023/10/17

The collapse of the comedian coalition has sent shockwaves through camp in the penultimate week of our favourite silly little game. We started the week waving farewell to Big Bopper Steve Price, and ended it with Laura sending Eli back to the flat after defeating her bestie in a game of topply card sand baggie balance. Now just five castaways remain while we perch precariously on the edge of our seats to see if one of the comedians can conquer, or if the treasure be unearthed by powerhouses Turia or

Remember When: C4 blasted onto our screens

The Real Pod ·

2023/10/16

In 2003 we were paying $30 for CDs and mainlining music videos. The internet was a bit slow, so there was huge demand for music videos on the telly to see the not many, if any, dudes who could roll like this. Juice TV had been plugging away on Sky, but then C4 entered the chat offering endless music videos that were free for all, and a slew of top notch hosting talent to boot. As C4 celebrates its 20 year anniversary, Jane and Duncan remember the glorious arrival of our last great music channel

Water levels rose at the lake this week as the tears flowed and the eliminated rode (off into the sunset forever, RIP). The individual game is here and it's brought out a ruthlessness in our castaways that we never saw coming. And the biggest shock of all? Not even aliens could protect Blair from topply blocks in the elimination arena. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Remember When: Abstain for the Game was the century’s...

The Real Pod ·

2023/10/09

Ahead of the incredibly tense 2011 Rugby World Cup, Abstain for the Game was a Telecom (now Spark) ad campagin using former All Black captain Sean Fitzpatrick, in a tuxedo, driving a pink dodgem, asking a tightly wound nation to keep it in their pants. It was an extremely odd ad, and created a furious response from a humourless public. Within days it was withdrawn with heavy apologies. But the ad has aged well, and as The Real Pod remembers when, they also ask – did we get this one wrong? Learn more

The dictator, James Mustapic, joins us this week to recap the week that was on Celebrity Treasure Island: Te Waipounamu. A week that saw comedians causing chaos, teams being cleft in twain and two powerhouse players heading for home. It’s already been an iconic season, but we’ll never forget the moment that guy from Shorty Street Uno-reversed Eli’s mercy card with the kind of sensational block Mark Richardson could only dream of.
