In the very first episode of Nods & Pops, hosts Sarah & Lisa recall how they became pop culture junkies, how they met and how the pod got its name.

This week, the buzz is all about Wicked Australia rehearsals, the Wonka trailer and the demise of Sofia Vergara & Joe Manganiello’s marriage. At the theatre, we watched Darlinghurst Theatre’s Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812 and Sydney Theatre Company’s On The Beach. On the small screen, we’ve been watching three Apple TV series - Morning Wars (The Morning Show), Silo and Little Voice plus the new Aussie movie The Appleton Ladies Potato Race. In Lisa’s True Crime Corner, we talk about the case of criminology student Bryan Kohberger. And finally, we previewed the first two episodes of new ABC series Bay of Fires.
