Are you ready for an entire episode devoted to adoring Kat Stewart? If your answer is, who the hell is Kat Stewart...then HOW VERY DARE YOU, but also please allow us to educate you on her brilliance. Fun fact, she’s the Emsolation podcasts number one ticket holder, okay so we don’t actually have any tickets, (aside from the ones we have on ourselves, naturally) but what we mean is she’s officially our biggest fan and has been since Emsolation first started. She holds that position because she is a dear friend of both Em and Michael and she’s also been in almost ALL of our living rooms at one stage in our lives. You see Kat is famous for playing people like Roberta Williams in the TV Series Underbelly, and Nat Manning in Tangle, plus there’s her role as Billie Proudman in Offspring (a role written by Michael Lucas and actually based on our fabulous leader Em Rusciano) and lets not forget her current role as Liz Wendell in Five Bedrooms. Look, I could sit here and type up her entire IMDB profile if you want, but that’s hardly going to be as entertaining as this chat. To properly set the scene before you listen, please know that Em and Michael had both been having a teensy beverage, so they are feeling loose, also it was late at night, plus Em had no technical wizards to help her set up her recording devices, so there are a few hiccups within this episode. To begin we start with a very special introduction that Em hasn’t even heard, she actually won’t get to hear the introduction until she listens to the show once it’s gone live on Spotify, you’ll understand more once you plug yourself in and have a listen. Also it should be flagged that the hateful warlock of technical difficulties strikes again, this time he actually refused to record Em’s vocals. So you’ll get a great and hilarious chat for about 30 minutes, then you’ll get selected highlights of the rest of the chat that feature recorded introductions from Em and then Kat and Michael’s replies. In all honesty, the tequila when mixed with Em’s competitive nature, plus the fact that Michael did actual research for once, means he was in for a whole heap of mockery throughout, so we took the actual funniest parts of the lost conversation and present them to you in bite size perfection. They include two wonderful pieces of Kat Stewart trivia from Michael, who loves to reveal uncomfortable secrets at the drop of a hat, plus there’s a bunch of info on the forthcoming season of Five Bedrooms and also some proof that Kat is a huge fan of this podcast as well. Honestly, the stuff that was lost probably should stay lost, so we are seeing it as a blessing, but Em will be making a sacrifice of some sort to ensure that we manage to move forward without any technical hiccups in future episodes. So settle in for three mates having a huge gasbag about their friendship, a revisit with Kat’s work as Roberta Williams in Underbelly, including a return of that character to our podcast mic, there’s also a heap of Offspring talk, including the return of the fact that Michael is responsible for killing off Patrick, and how much info Michael stole from Em’s actual life, to slip into the script. Plus there’s soooo much more audio goodness that you didn’t know you needed in your ears, until you actually hear it, so hurry up and get amongst it now. Learn more about your ad choices.
