Simone chats about her talented writer and director husband Gregor who has worked with Heath Ledger at least twice and their son Jack who is enjoying the more ‘stable’ life of Australia, after moving back here from the hustle and bustle of LA.

Customer Reviews
Addicted to TV and this Podcast
This is the BEST podcast about television in Australia. I am seriously addicted to it. I only started listening about 2 months ago and i have downloaded all the old episodes and listened to them late on a sunday night. The presenters are really entertaining and you do not get sick of hearing their voice. This is a MUST download. :D
Nice work
Just found your podcast. Really enjoying it. Maybe try and cover some regional tv...? Just a thought.
