Love Reality TV? Then you'll love this chat with Aimees Durrant - self taught whiz-bang editor of such shows as THe Block, 20:1, Face Off and Hell's Kitchen. We talk about how difficult it is to order a sandwich in this town, tight turnarounds (*ahem*), US budgets vs Oz budgets - no surprises there! - my burgeoning addiction to Syfy's Face Off, the satisfaction of working on the first season of a show and the overwhelming impulse to punch people in the face. I learn editor speak AND, most importantly, where to get lamingtons in LA. Ah, bliss! 

Holy pop culture, Batman! It's Maude Garrett – gamer, geek and other things beginning with 'g'. We discuss the ways our faces betray us, vampire books, blind people, what make a good interviewee as well as a bad one, how she will forever be known as phlegm girl to Simon Pegg and Nick Frost and we bond over our odd names and the way Americans say them. My love for Dave Grohl grows – EXPONENTIALLY! And, Zelda. There is talk of Zelda. 

Here's Felicity Ward! This chat comes directly to you from Flick's air bnb bed. In between the dueling coughs, we talk about the beginnings of her career, ironic boganism, the weirdness of LA, the awesomeness of Americans, comedy show's with heart, people taking a punt on you and she describes herself as industrious. Agreed! We eat milk duds and Flick drops some MAJOR names… Yup, all in a days werq! 

Many questions for Josh Lawson... We cover the importance of improv to keep things alive on set, the ups and downs of his various pilot season experiences, why he wants to give NY a shot and his love for low budget indies. And the ACCTAs get a right serving for their lack of respect towards TV comedy. Right! I'm off to write an angry letter. 

It's pilot season here in Hollywood! So Anna Lise and I talk about her highly successful experience with it last year. Thus, NBC's Revolution is discussed at length. Honorable mentions also go to dying on screen, method acting, the self-reliance of American actors and self testing.  And everything – I mean, EVERYTHING – is extraordinary. 

Meet James Mitchell, a net-savvy content creator and head of production at 4WT Media.  In this episode, we discuss feeding the beast that is the internet, working with super-human-acting-machine Matt Damon, being dedicated to You Tube, Prometheus (yay!) and real life treasure hunts. James turns the tables on me and asks me questions too… Hmmmm…

Kimberley and I have a good old natter about the importance of being a human above and beyond being an actor, what she learnt by watching Ryan Kwanten on set, the housewives sub-genre in reality TV, breaking news that is neither really breaking or really news and all manner of things Home and Away. I out myself as a Harry Potter fan and demonstrate my lack of comprehension when it comes to sport. Excellent! Oh, and there are puppy interruptions...

Caro visits LA for a couple of days. We chat about Aussie procedurals vs. US ones, detectives in hot tubs, Renaissance man James Franco, youth ambassadors for Australia, soapy donuts and Yes, Prime Minister. We reminisce about the ol' days at drama school and she uses a couple of big words that I don't know... Just the usual. 

Wil talks about why he won't need super, the power of podcasts, the freedom to fail that Los Angeles affords him and his current and ongoing preoccupations. The latter includes cheese and gay marriage. He also calls the next Australian election. I do my best not to get in the way.
