Are you ready for more delightful chit chat action with another glorious big feeling light seeker? We bloody well hope so, this time around Em is sitting down to talk with actress, writer, director, playwright, composer and all round legend Virginia Gay. If you love a medical drama as much as Em does, then you no doubt first heard of Virginia via her performance as Gabrielle Jaeger on ‘All Saints’. Since that debut she’s also appeared as Frances James on ‘Winners and Losers’, appeared on stage and screen and even performed her own cabaret show ‘Dirty Pretty Songs’ at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Naturally Em adores her and as she considers her to be “one of our people” she couldn’t wait to sit down and talk all of the things. All of the things included much talk about Em’s experience on ‘The Masked Singer’. As a singer Virginia was mad keen to find out how it all works, Em was also wondering why Virginia hasn’t taken the plunge and done the show herself. Aside from that we also get amongst a bunch of chat around pantomimes and why they aren’t a thing in Australia, Virginia is working hard to change that. We also cover how the pandemic has left them feeling untethered and how they’ve both learnt so much and have changed for the better as a result of everything we’ve been through over the last 2 years, there’s props for all of us within too. In fact there’s so much good chat around those learnings that you’ll really connect to and get so much out of. Just prepare yourself for a wide ranging and delightful conversation that’s guaranteed to see you come out the other side feeling renewed and also taking home a heap of great advice as well. There’s also a healthy supply of potty mouth on display and a surprising amount of whispered moments too, so if you like that sort of thing, added bonus. So get your headphones out, or ask your smart speaker to hit play, and get your listen on at your earliest convenience, enjoy! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
