  • Really enjoyable

    Great job with the podcast Mark and Katie. Bringing us back to a time before the singing show format became overplayed. We were all a lot more innocent then and Australian Idol was a major part of Australian pop culture in the noughties. I must say though that Tarisai’s interview was definitely not a highlight. You guys tried your best but that girl needs to get over herself and not be so vindictive.
