    Ep48: Delta's Bridge Over Troubled Dreams - Album Review w Andrew & Simon!
    Feb 12 2026
    Welcome to episode 48 of the bradtpop podcast! I am very excited to be joined by my friends Andrew & Simon to talk about one of our favourite topics - Delta Goodrem! This year marks the fifth anniversary of her #1 album Bridge Over Troubled Dreams and we figured it would be fun to do a review on each of the eleven tracks ahead of a rumoured new album this year. Delta is set to perform in Australia’s first Mighty Hoopla festival in the icon slot on Saturday Feb 21. An institution in the UK during pride month, its set to be a day to remember headlined by Kesha, Becky Hill, Jessica Mauboy, Rogue Traders, Jamelia and a 25th anniversary performance by Bardot!

    This episode marks Andrew’s 7th time on the pod - a series regular! - and together with Simon they featured on Ep39 about Delta’s Mistaken Identity 20th anniversary tour which was the most listened episode of last year! Simon is one half of Popchops and is hosting his 7th Club Delta event at Oxford Art Factory the night before Mighty Hoopla with an 8th planned in Fiji!

    Ep47: Your Boy Is 35!
    Jan 28 2026
    Hello beautiful friends! Welcome to episode 47 of the bradtpop podcast. I hope you enjoyed your break and are feeling refreshed! Usually the first episode of the year is a bucket list of items I want to achieve but I’m not doing that for 2026. Whilst I was glad to learn a new skill of DJing and get fitter by playing rugby with the Convicts last year - I still need to learn how to cook dammit and I cant be having any other resolutions until thats done! So instead this episode is just going to be one big brain dump! First I’ll start off with a life update of what I’ve been up to since Christmas including a trip to Perth and my 35th birthday! Then I’ll talk about the wave of reality crashing in after my birthday surrounding a big life decision! Then I’ll quickly talk about my predictions for the Grammys next week before I wrap it up with my Top 5 picks of the week!

    Ep44: Big Brother - Week One!
    Nov 18 2025
    Hello and welcome to episode 44 of the bradtpop podcast! I am very excited to be joined by my great friend Andrew to join the rest of the country in talking about BIG BROTHER!

    Andrew and I were part of the 20,000 people who applied but missed out on being in this year’s season 16 of the show but the first returning to the original format on Channel Ten. Season 1 premiered in 2001 at its home of Dreamworld Gold Coast with the finale attracting 2.8m won by Ben Williams with Blair McDonough being runner up. For those who don’t know Blair is Delta’s first boyfriend as a teenager whose deception inspired her #1 hits Not Me Not I and Predictable! I just had to mention Delta in the pod - especially since that is how Andrew and I know each other which we discussed on ep2 of this podcast, and this is his 4th appearance on the pod after talking about Kylie’s tour on ep 37 and Delta’s most recent tour on ep 39!

    After 8 seasons and a failed Celebrity edition between 2001-2008 on Ch10, Big Brother was picked up on Ch9 between 2012-2014 which I would say was much loved by fans before Ch7 absolutely ruined it with their Survivor-style interpretation which somehow lasted 5 seasons between 2020-2023 which included celebrities like Caitlyn Jenner and past housemates like Reggie, Drew & Tully. The current season has really taken the country by storm with new host Mel Tracina, 24 hour live streaming, weekly tasks and live nominations and evictions. Andrew and I have just watched the Sunday night eviction where Michael was voted out and we will go one by one in our review of the housemates so far with a bonus episode later in the week to discuss the big talking points of the week and a weekly recap. Hope you enjoy!

  • Ep43: The Life Of A Showgirl (Taylor Swift Album Review)

    Ep43: The Life Of A Showgirl (Taylor Swift Album Review)
    Oct 15 2025
    Welcome to episode 43 of the bradtpop podcast! I am very excited to be joined by friends Kate & Maddy to talk about one of our favourite topics - Taylor Swift! Her 12th album The Life Of A Showgirl has broken all the records including biggest first week sales in the US - surpassing Adele’s 3.5m - and the highest streaming on Spotify for the week per average song, second on overall streams only to herself for the Tortured Poets Department which had nearly 3 times as many tracks. Today we will do a review on each of the twelve tracks and also talk about the associated film for the release party but first lets introduce our guests!


    Kate Pattison is famous among the Swifties, regularly being interviewed on TV and in print for her opinions on Taylor Swift and even landing herself in an academic book on Culture, Capital & Critique! She also is a PHD candidate at RMIT on fan studies including on Harry Styles & Delta Goodrem too. Speaking on Delta that is actually how the three of us know each other! People would be surprised the many connections that are made through the fandom. Maddy and I bonded over many clownings on a Reputation Taylors Version released, staying up watching tiktok lives off the Eras Tour that came to nothing! Maddy has only just moved to London a couple weeks ago and I’m so grateful for her time and Kates from Melbourne! For our listeners to get a better grasp of what type of Swifites we are, I’ve given us the impossible task of naming each of our Top 5 Taylor albums and then at the end of the episode we rank the tracks of her latest album from 1 to 12! Hope you enjoy
