Which starts Sunday night at 7:30   Julie Goodwin is an Australian cook, author, radio and television presenter.

I will talk about how why Julie said yes and what her concerns were when contemplating the show! We will unpack her journey this far - why radio wasn’t for her and why she is still saying yes to new challenges? There is an opportunity to talk her final few days on Masterchef and why in her autobiography she described it as looking up from under water. We will talk about her feeling of the rest of the cast and if she was intimidated by some of the well know athletes. There is so much to talk about with Julie. So sit back and relax as we unpack the complicated world of Dancing with the stars!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Which is on Network Ten from Sunday through to Wednesday nights at 7:30. Dubbed sunshine in human form, Alex shone her light in the MasterChef Australia kitchen for 2024. One of the fan favourites this year who sadly got the chop this week and I admit I am shook.  Despite earning a double degree in Science (Human Biology) and Design (Fine Arts), it is food that’s become the founding stone of Alex’s career, working in fine food sales and specialising in gourmet products, cheeses and small-goods amongst other delicacies.  Her daily exposure to the food scene has further fuelled the fire inside, and Alex knows that cooking is not just a hobby, it’s her true calling in life and I can not wait to see where she takes her Masterchef journey. I loved catching up with Alex I haven’t laughed as hard as this in a while. I actually edited out most of my laughing as I sounded like fog horn leg horn! Alex will unpack everything from cute chefs, green hands and why she believes when it is not your season it is not your season!
