The Real Pod assembles to dissect the last few weeks in New Zealand pop culture and real life, with special thanks to Nando’s. This week on the podcast, Duncan returns from the wilderness with a Jersey Shore tan and having watched zero television like the useless co-host he is. This, coupled with Alex's absence doing real, important work, meant Jane carried a very heavy load, recapping five shows essentially alone. By way of penance Duncan ate three squares of the 6.7m Scoville chilli chocolate and promptly went into a full body sweat while waves of nausea pitched across him.Pod highlights include the fearful recounting of new pods from Sam Levi and Art and Matilda, doubtless the beginning of the end for the #realpod, and extremely long looks into the continuing unreal lives of the Real Housewives of Auckland through Michelle Blanchard's Instagram stories.

Conor, Flynn and Mr Wedge all departed, nearly joined by Tavita, who was only saved after his hernia was given a double shaka down at the hospitable.The big change at the 'actually plausible winners' end of the competition was Aaron disintegrating before our wide eyes. First he snitched on Steve for his hobby of the odd sly dart, then he did a diary cam in maybe the worst possible location in their mansion/prison, then he fell apart in ways which we found either endearing or terrifying.

The Real Pod: The Bachelorette gets naked, teary and herniated in Argentina

Toilet Plume

The Real Pod assembles to dissect the week in reality television and real life, with special thanks to Nando’s.Another week, another new reality show to pour into our gullets like a jug of mirror glaze over a too-warm cake. The Great Kiwi Bake Off is back for another season, returning to the original 90-minute format that fans know and love. There's Trev with the delicate lamington balls, Sue with the "moist" feedback and Ana with a fridge horror show. There's also no Extra Slice, which makes us very sad because we love Chris Parker.Beyond that, there's also a lot of Real News. Erin and Zac tied the knot, Lily McManus has been spotted on Instagram in heavy TV makeup (ahem) and we have all the great new announcements for TVNZ's 2020 season (Art Green as The Bachelorette NZ host?!?!?). Oh, and the worst episode of New Zealand's Next Top Model yet. It's The Real Pod: really. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Learn more about your ad choices.
