This week marks the launch of our renewed entertainment segment,  Brent is joined by with Leonie Thomas.

Leonie is a qualified journalist, and brings a diverse professional background as a qualified life coach, social worker, and Human Design practitioner. She is also the founder of an award-winning not-for-profit social enterprise recognised by the NSW Australasian Housing Institute Awards.

Together, they dive into the biggest stories making waves across film, television, theatre, and pop culture right now.

From the highly anticipated Michael Jackson biopic Michael starring Jaafar Jackson, to the ongoing conversation and controversy surrounding MAFS Australia, entertainment headlines are delivering both spectacle and debate.

The segment also heads to Sydney Harbour, where The Phantom of the Opera returns in a major outdoor production celebrating 40 years of the iconic musical, complete with fireworks, live orchestra, and a spectacular overwater stage.

And finally, the conversation turns to the cultural weight of anthem performances in Australian sport and entertainment, where pressure, tradition, and national identity all collide in front of massive live audiences.

A strong first edition of the segment — covering the stories everyone’s talking about, and a few you’ll want to keep an eye on.
