Goodbye, farewell and amen and other such famous TV endings. Here be the final RealityCast Podcast after running for two long years. We are branching out and looking to start a brand new Podcast relating to much broader topics than TV. More details will be forthcoming on this site. It has been a pleasure and a lot of fun being in your ear for our take on Australian Idol, Biggest Loser and Big Brother for the past few seasons. Frankly the reality format, particularly those we cover, has become bland and trite and we simply are over it. If you want to stay with us for the ride and subscribe to the new show once its up please email us at realitycastmail@gmail.com and we will keep you up to date.

This finale Podcast was recorded during the excruciating BB Final, join us as we traverse the minefield, clutch the sides of the sinking ship, grab for an exposed root in an avalanche, jump from the moving bus, shoot adrenaline directly in our hearts and gouge out our eyes to prevent exposure to what was not only the worst pantomine in history, but also the finale to the worst Big Brother season ever, in any country.

Listen Now:

Gretel you absolute cow. You dont want to be there, we dont want you there, so LEAVE. More revenue raising than a fleet of speed cameras. Joel is a lobster. Michelle and Alysha, the argument. We dissect them, I mean it. SPECIAL EVENT - We get called to the Diary room by Big Brother (Weekly) who issues us a challenge. Ganesha apologises to you all in advance.

Listen Now:

Big Brother pulls no punches this week and provides us a week of champagne comedy. On a related topic - Toilet humour or scatological humour is a type of off-colour humour dealing with defecation, urination, regurgitation and other bodily functions. Public reference to bodily functions is taboo in many cultures. This genre also sees substantial crossover with sexual humour, such as penis jokes. This seasons very first and only prank. Andrew leaves the house and behaves like a child having a tantrum. Are Michelle and Travis really dumb or really dumb, its just a vibe we get about them. Gretel finally speaks her mind. Mailbag and our Mailbag theme. Dont blame us for the sounds, we are merely a reflection of the weeks shows.

Kram meets the past weeks BB with a resounding Yawn We have shocking audio of the nasty side of Joel taken from live feed. Lord of the Flops - For the millionth time the producers and housemates screw up a great idea for weekly tasks. No rules my arse. Why is BB forgetting the other demographics. BB has dug his own hole by adding these young blokey and bitchy housemates. It was always going to end up all male. New intruders still not the right ones but better than the originals. Bye bye Andrew, good riddance. Got something to say, want a large audience to say it to - realitycastmail@gmail.com Or even better Skype user RealityCast and leave us a message.

Listen Now:

Bye bye Funbags, see you in Ralph mags Rebecah is gone. Most interesting housemate of this season. Kram and Ganesha fight over Daniela, bitch or defender of the poor. Ganesha brings in Mrs Ganesha to help win the argument. Ganesha then capitulates. Andrew still controls the game thanks to FNL. Excited by the new intruders. Wish they were originals. Travis has some competition. The other housemates, we attempt to talk about them by downing no-doze.

Ganesha will not be popular with a few of them. We discuss what drives people to waste money on voting. Susannah and her mouthwash dilemma - spit or swallow. Hayley leaves in bizarre circumstances, what is going on behind closed doors. Kram gets trigger-happy with sound bites. Lets improve the show and hire actors for next season. Why give us eye candy if you wont let us see them with the wrappers off. Ganesha is well past caring as he sees the two new intruders, blondes with hair dye.

Welcome to another award winning episode of RealityCast. Voted most improved odour on the Podcast Network. We seek out the feminine wisdom of Mrs Ganesha and ask her what she thinks of this season. The Starburst farce has essentially broken the back of this show. Have we seen the last of BBA. Kris Noble needs to leave immediately. My No Vote theory to save the series. New housemates going in this week. Hold your breath. Susannah needs a rich boyfriend ala Krystal to pay for the removal of those jowls.

Is this Hayley and another ex. Ganesha is given an infringement notice on a forum for flaming. Shock reveal! Funbags Emma and Billy boy are actually rats disguised as housemates. Demet has a real womans body. Hottest woman in the house. Which housemate would you rely on as a friend during the hard times? Kram uses Emma as a raft and Jamie is Krams Jane. We find the perfect soundtrack for TJ and her extra commentary PLUS Bodie goes up for eviction and quickly enters a relationship. Email us your favourite housemate and why - realitycastmail@gmail.com Or even better call us (03) 901 85 328 OR via Skype user RealityCast.

Listen Now:

Kram distances himself from Ganeshas offensive remarks about Emma aka Fun bags. Big Brother saves money by repeating most of Sunday nights footage again on Monday. Nominations talk and the housemates conformist gang mentality.  TJ takes over Gretel as most jaded woman alive. Who are these mysterious housemates we have not even seen footage of yet thanks to the Hayley and Andrew show which is finally cancelled due to audience indifference.  The White room is nearly cancelled due to audience and housemate indifference. A great idea once again ruined by the producers lack of imagination. A bizarre caller from Tasmania.

Kram and Ganesha water load before the show to ensure that this weeks Podcast is heavy on the entertainment and light on the Magoo (or Chris as we like to call him).  Ganesha takes on the Munnalita eyeball challenge and rolls them every time her name is mentioned. Has anyone seen any proof of Marty being worthy of such scorn. Who walks out on a crying man when he needs support. Has Courtney transformed into a good person, you tell us. Send us your comments on this years two evil characters.  chewthefat.podcast@gmail.comThe contestants travel to the land of the hobbits and the trolls for a week of The Lord of the Biggest Rings.

This week Kram and Ganesha are in shock over the antics of the red team. Kram wishes for 2006-esque decorum, but Ganesha is enjoying the drama. We discuss the plethora of inane, fumbling, retarded attempts at playing the game. Courtney and Munnalita are about as subtle strategists as a chimpanzee playing Risk, and their attempts at subterfuge are like watching a legless man playing hopscotch. Greg maintained his integrity and honour throughout this ordeal, while Pati has shown real cowardice in her actions. A real shame for them it had to get so ugly, but a real treat for us viewers.  Join us as we discuss Munnalita's mars bar incident (do alcoholics get to drink beer if they have been good in rehab?) and delight in the wonders of OzTag. PLEASE dont forget call us on (03) 901 85 FAT with all your questions, comments and answers to the competition.

Exciting news about upcoming shows. We introduce you to the unsung heroes of the Australian music industry. Be prepared to be blown away. On this show we break in backstage to the Idol Monday night elimination and record our reactions live. We even manage to get a little frisky with Damien. Forget who is going to win the final, more importantly, who wore the tightest pants on Monday night.As of the time I write this, a news poll has Jessica at 47% to win and Damien at 52%, not sure where the other percent has gone to. Party time back at Idol Sparks secret headquarters as we throw Dean (the gay messiah) down the slip and slide of shame and into the waiting arms of Satan, oops I mean the CEO of Sony. It seems obvious that Mark is earning some commission by his unwarranted touchdown for Dean. Talk about cash for comments. How does he get away with it. Its your turn to send us highlights of the show and the Podcast to idolsparks@gmail.com.   Next week we delve into the archives to see if we predicted correctly.    We play the amazing brand new single from George singer Tyrone Noonan.

Which combination is going to be top 2 and who will beat who.We are proud to be able to play a track from one of Australias leading blues vocalists Lil' Fi who you can find at www.lilfi.com and www.myspace.com/thelilfiOnly a few shows left, be sure to listen in along with the contestants to keep up with all things Idol, proudly hosted by Kram and Ganesha. 28min, 13mb

Listen Now:

Wow, we are down to one hand now, something that Dean would know all about. Mixed feelings at the Idol Sparks purse making factory. We are happy that Lisa is happy, good luck to you Lisa. A fairly low standard on Sunday night. Kram fell asleep and Ganesha wanted to cleanse his ears with some Beach Boys to wash away some awful performances from his brain. Why are all the original voices now voted out. Is there anything that special left to look forward to. All these questions and some that were never asked in the first place will be answered on this episode of the Podcast on too many growth hormones - Idol Sparks. Thanks for listening. 15mb, 33min (sorry)

We aim to focus on the quality of the songwriting in this episode. There were some surprising outcomes to this show. For some of them, if that is their best song, they will be in trouble. How is it that a singer wanting to make a professional career has not even co-written and original song?Chris gets our vote for best song of the night.We play some great local talent rather than talk about those who couldnt be bothered to cultivate the basics of their career. Go to http://www.myspace.com/tinalley and enjoy the latest offering from this great Melbourne band. 27min, 12.8

On this episode of our highly successful Podcast series. Thanks to all who voted for our rap off with MC AnzaK, our song is surely going to be a hit in the USA. Results in, who will be voted off. A strangely varied fan base forget to keep Bobby in. Ganesha wails like a banshee and actually dies during the show. Kram reluctantly revives him. Despite the format of the show being locked down from the beginning somehow the contestants asked for instruments this week.Kram and Ganesha wonder why we should not simply go straight to the final so Dean can cartwheel onto the stage victorious, thats as long as his manager tell him thats ok. Damien blows Ganesha away but only gives Kram wind tunnel hair. The guitar is apparently the only instrument in the world. 30min, 15mb

click this button to subscribe with iTunes --->   Idol Sparks has gone commercial. To cover our huge production costs we have carefully chosen some reputable companies to advertise on our Podcast. I think we got confused though. A new format starting this week. Its punchier, zappier and meets over half your daily calcium requirements. We have launched a new poll to rank the contestants. You will have a chance to contribute to this. Once Sunday nights show is over, send us your favourite to least favourite performances (not your overall favourite contestant) for THAT week only. This is not a popularity poll so be honest! Once we get all the results we will collate them to determine the final ranking. Then on our next Podcast we will see how close we got to choosing the bottom three. Send your list next Sunday to idolsparks@gmail.com Recommendations It would be a crime if you have not taken time to listen to these rock bands. Led Zeppelin, Cream, The Who, You am I, Kiss, Hendrix, Van Halen, The Easybeats, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, ACDC, Grand Funk Railroad.

Welcome to our Wildcard episode where we discuss the triumphs and the cringe worthy humiliation dished out to the poor unsuspecting contestants. We finally have the Top 12. Bring it on. Klancy of the overdone captures the heart of Kram who is the bread to her homemade jam. The judges have incurred the wroth of Ganesha over the loss of Amanda. Do NOT make Ganesha angry. We mock the Murphy gang and the whatever factor of mweh Mutto. Once again Kram is obsessing over Meercats. The other cat Ricky Muscat claws his way to the Top 12. We wonder what happened to Nathanial. Why did centipede boy Joseph get through over him? Chinese Opera,  Kram? Our respects to the Irwin family. Send us your song choices for the Top 12 to idolsparks@gmail.com  (12min, 7mb)

Another World exclusive?  OK maybe not. I will have a word with him. We managed to stay awake for tonights show to review it. Wildcards are finalised. Ganesha places his half empty glass down and gives one thumb up to the voting public. Brendon 'the boner' is up against some stiff competition. (boom boom) Are the theme nights going to kill off this years unique talent? We leave Switzerland and make it obvious where our (well, Ganeshas) fickle loyalties are.

Idol Sparks gets a major scoop by scoring an interview with gorgeous Jorge. Then Ganesha cant even be bothered to show up on time to ask questions. We finally see a change to the show, but is it an improvement? Monday nights show didnt know whether it was Australian Idol or Days Of Our Lives. Unless you sing R&B or Aussie Rock you dont have a chance on this show. Leaving out Johnson Jay was a HUGE mistake. Feedback at idolsparks@gmail.com

Listen Now:

Tonight saw the judges trim some fat off the edges after choosing too many crap singers, they cut the number down to only 100 crap singers instead. Perhaps their eyes were bigger than their ears! We revel in the Karmic retribution of Jorge Bek as Ganesha does a brilliant impersonation, worthy of an Oscar. Ummm, where's the format change guys? Kram swears, then refers to John Foreman as the Anti-Kyle, then fly's in the face of copyright. No we wont tell you what! Who stood out tonight? It's a short list. Although we liked Guy Mutton who showed his vocal chops. Kram does not like Ganesha's audition and sends him home.  (14mins, 8mb)
