Two powerhouses of Australian media, PEDESTRIAN and The Betoota Advocate are blasting into your eye and ear holes tomorrow with their new entertainment vodcast collab, The Show Off, available on 9Now and all good podcast services.
After years of not-so-passive aggressive online banter between the two sites, PEDESTRIAN’s Head of Editorial, Josephine Rozenberg-Clarke along with The Betoota Advocate’s Entertainment and Lifestyle Reporter Effie Bateman and Sports Reporter (and token bloke) Wendell Hussey will form an unholy union to give viewers and listeners their spicy takes on the biggest moments in streaming, film and pop culture each week.
From which new series you need to be obsessing over right now, to an in-depth dissection of *that* pivotal Pedro Pascal moment, to which celeb has been canceled so hard they’re now worthy of an “In Memoriam” – no entertainment stone will be left unturned on The Show Off.
It’s the collab Aussies didn’t know they needed – perfect for hardcore pop culture stans to noobs that can’t keep up with their mates’ pub chat and everyone in between. The Show Off promises to keep you in the loop on anything you’ve missed, and everything you give a rat’s about across streaming, film, TV and more.
Josephine Rozenberg-Clarke, Head of Editorial, PEDESTRIAN.TV said, “PEDESTRIAN and The Betoota Advocate have been taking the piss out of each other for years online, so we thought it was time to fire shots at each other in podcast format, too. And what better topic to bicker over? Young Aussies are obsessed with entertainment and are all streaming about 50 shows at once, so we’ve joined forces to round up all that’s good (and more importantly, bad) in the land of TV and pop culture each week.”
The Betoota Advocate’s Wendell Hussey said, “A collaboration with PEDESTRIAN is not something we ever thought we’d be doing, but thanks to the current media and economic climate, here we are. So, it’s time to bury the hatchet and bring our trademark style of reporting to the world of Pop Culture — for the diehards and the mildly interested significant others.”
The Show Off launches on Thursday 30 March so fire it up on 9Now or follow the vodcast and prep yourselves for a cracking good time.
Thirsty for even more entertainment tea? We’ve got you with the PEDESTRIAN x Diamantina Media vodcast, We’ve Done the MAFS.

Australia’s favourite entertainment show, the Logie Award winning LEGO® Masters, is returning April 10 at 7.30pm for its fifth and biggest season yet on Channel 9 and 9Now.
In a world first, the winners and top teams from previous seasons plus a new wildcard duo will face off in a supersized competition to determine the best of the best in LEGO® Masters: Grand Masters.
Hamish Blake is back as host, alongside judge Ryan “Brickman” McNaught, for the toughest challenges ever, and new twists and turns to truly test this elite group of champion builders.
Ryan said: “Being Grand Masters, the expectation is already there. They all know they need to bring something new and exciting, something beyond their best, something we’ve never seen before, and they sure do.”
This year the challenges are tougher than ever, testing each contestant’s skills like never before. They include LEGO® worlds suspended high above the ground; an exciting movie mayhem scene using motors and explosives; and a rocket being launched into the sky.
There will also be special guest appearances from Sophie Monk, Dr Karl Kruszelnicki and – to celebrate 100 years of Disney storytelling – the iconic character Mickey Mouse.
Hamish said: “To be invited back this season for Grand Masters I think really solidifies me as the best host that has ever hosted LEGO®Masters Australia, and that is a huge honour.”
LEGO® Masters: Grand Masters will hit unbelievable heights of creativity as the best brick builders in the nation raid the ever-expanding brickpit to get one up on each other. Expect the greatest builds in LEGO® TV history as they battle for the most prized trophy of all.
LEGO® Masters: Grand Masters comes from producers Endemol Shine Australia (a Banijay Company). The series is adapted from an original UK format from Tuesday’s Child Productions and The LEGO® Group.
Eleven years after Frozen Planet’s unprecedented look into life at the North and South Pole, Frozen Planet II returns to the Arctic and Antarctic on Tuesday, April 4, at 7.30pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.
Presented by Sir David Attenborough, this documentary series observes the amazing species that thrive in these freezing frontiers, and captures the wildlife dramas that play out in the coldest parts of Earth in our high mountains, frozen deserts, snowbound forests, and ice-cold oceans.
The Arctic and Antarctic are the last true wilderness regions, places so desolate and unforgiving that only a heroic cast of animals can exist there. From polar bears to penguins, Siberian tigers to snow monkeys, each species must overcome unique challenges to survive their extreme environments.
As temperatures continue to rise through global warming, parts of our frozen planet are vanishing before our eyes. Frozen Planet II reveals the true impact on both wildlife and humans, and speaks to scientists who have dedicated their lives to understanding these climate changes, and what they mean for the world.
Filmed in ultra-high definition, the cameras capture new animal behaviours, displays of intimacy and sensational natural spectacles, for the very first time. This six-part series is a chance to experience the wonder of our planet’s frozen realms as they stand on the brink of major change. All of the frozen habitats share one thing in common – the threat posed by today’s climate change.
Frozen Planet II is made by BBC Studios’ world-renowned Natural History Unit, co-produced by BBC America, the open University, Migu Video, ZDF and France Televisions.

Tina Turner: The Best Is Yet To Come, hosted by TODAY News and Entertainment Presenter Brooke Boney, will light up your hearts as it revisits the 12-time Grammy Award winner’s greatest moments in Australian pop culture and spotlights the enduring stamp she has put on the nation since her extraordinary heyday in the 1980s.
Set to a killer soundtrack from her long list of great hits, this pulsating special gives viewers a backstage pass to Turner’s fabulous five-decade career. From selling 100 million records to starring in Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, a chapter in one of the biggest movie franchises of all time, and belting out the famous anthem that forever changed the NRL, Tina was a showstopper whatever she did.
Tina Turner: The Best Is Yet To Come invites a selection of Australia’s most celebrated singers including David Campbell, Casey Donovan, Vanessa Amorosi, Darren Hayes and Christine Anu, along with Nine’s Richard Wilkins, to tell their own tales about Tina’s influence on them and reflect on how she was and always will be simply the best.
Viewers will also get a generous glimpse of the latest gripping chapter in her incredible career: TINA: The Tina Turner Musical, which reveals the moving story of a woman who dared to defy her boundaries and rewrite the rules of rock ’n’ roll superstardom.

At a sold-out Suncorp Stadium for the most highly anticipated fixture of the season so far, the undefeated Dolphins and Broncos meet in the NRL’s first ever Brisbane local derby.
Nine’s Wide World of Sports has exclusive access to the ground for this must-watch game and its rivalries galore. Master coach Wayne Bennett versus the up-and-coming Kevin Walters, the big-brother Broncos premiership powerhouse versus little-brother Dolphins in their first season, plus the marquee men of the Broncos up against the no-frills workmen of the Dolphins.
Nine, your home of rugby league in Queensland, will have all bases covered in this monumental clash with the all-maroon commentary lineup of Cameron Smith, Paul Vautin and Peter Psaltis at the ground, and host James Bracey joined by Johnathan Thurston, Brad Fittler and Danika Mason across every angle, with exclusive access to the dressing sheds and the players.
Queensland State of Origin coach and NRL on Nine expert, Billy Slater, says: “The Dolphins are playing with a lot of fight and spirit. With Wayne Bennett at the helm their unbeaten run is no fluke.
“The Broncos can turn it on like anyone. They’ve got so much spark in their side with their centres Kotoni Staggs and Herbie Farnworth, plus all these exciting young players who are only getting better. But they’ll need to bring a gritty style of play or the Dolphins will surprise them.
“It’s about who owns Brisbane. These two teams had this game circled a long time ago.”
This week the 2022 Grand Final rematch kicks off NRL Round 4 on Thursday Night Footy in the battle of Sydney’s West between the Eels and Panthers from 7.30pm AEDT.
Since losing to the Panthers in the Grand Final the Eels have been winless. They’re now desperate to get off the mark against the premiers who are fresh and ready to sink the claws in coming off the bye.
Can Mitchell Moses and Maika Sivo produce the elusive magic to put Eels back in the winners circle, or will Nathan Cleary and his mountain prove to be their kryptonite again?
In the third game of the round on Nine, Sunday Arvo Footy comes live from Newcastle for Knights v Raiders. After hiccups to start the season each side has one win and both need another victory to build up hopes for their fans this season.
Though ravaged by injury the Knights won’t cop any excuses playing for their first home win of the year against Ricky Stuart’s Raiders, who need to build momentum after a gutsy win over the Sharks.
The Eighth Immortal and Knights hero, Andrew Johns, will be a commentator at this game along with Knights NRLW premiership-winning captain Millie Boyle.

Her new column, the SOS Series, will focus on recipes that are under 12 ingredients, cost less than $20 for four people and take under 30 minutes to make.
Renowned chef Curtis Stone is writing a new regular recipe column called Classics with Curtis.

“Good Food is the most trusted food media brand in Australia,” said Jo Clasby, Director of Sales Total Publishing. “A credible and much-loved brand like Good Food, that spans across print, TV, events, the Good Food Guide and now a new interactive digital platform, is the perfect environment for brands to align with to ensure they target audiences with an enviable scale and reach.”
