We wanted to tell you about a new iHeart original podcast, Charmed with Sam Todd.


Charmed is all about the stories behind collections, keepsakes and tiny treasures that mean more than they probably should.

Follow and catch every episode here: https://lnk.to/charmedpodFD

On this week’s episode: what happens when you drop everything overnight and get whisked away into the high-stakes world of global pop star training? 

Host Sam Todd sits down with Ezrela for her first official big interview following her journey as the only Australian contestant on Dream Academy. 

Ezrela opens up about what really happens when you chase a dream on a global stage - from keeping her audition success a secret and uprooting her life with just one suitcase, to navigating 2 AM patio workouts in the dark, bunk-bed sisterhood, flying to Korea, recording at the HYBE building and the bittersweet reality of TV screen eliminations. 

They unpack the emotional weight of global fandoms, carrying cross-cultural representation for Australia and India, and why stepping away from the training system ultimately helped her find her true artistic identity. 

Plus, Ezrela reflects on reuniting with the KATSEYE girls in Australia, her lifelong love for Bollywood and Y2K nostalgia and how learning five languages helped her stay connected to everyone around her. 

Charmed, with Sam Todd. Stories worn to tell, with Pandora.

Amy and Chris unpack a Facebook Mums Group dilemma from a mum struggling with her 18-year-old daughter's plan to move to the UK for up to two years. The conversation sparks a broader discussion about letting kids spread their wings, parenting anxiety and whether you're ever truly ready to watch your children leave home.

They also dive into claims that Noah's Ark may have been discovered, debate whether social media algorithms have gone too far, and unpack some of the bizarre dating trends Gen Z is bringing to modern relationships.

Plus, Amy shares the hilarious story of accidentally posting a champagne-fuelled holiday video that went viral for all the wrong reasons, the team discuss workplace affairs and modern relationship scandals, and wrap up the week with another edition of Nailed It or Failed It.

The One Parenting Milestone Amy Says She's Not Ready For

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/fa326977-3de5-4283-9b8b-af3500c58607/clips/cedf945a-f64d-4c22-9733-b4c20066ba8a/transcript

Amy Gerard doesn't hesitate when a listener asks for advice after receiving what felt more like a job interview than a dating invitation. A seemingly innocent voice note quickly turns into a major red flag discussion, with Amy explaining exactly why she'd walk away before a second date even happens.

On this episode of the Chris & Amy Podcast, the pair dive into the bizarre new dating terms taking over modern relationships. From "cookie jarring" and "pocketing" to the surprisingly named "shrekking", Chris tests Amy's knowledge of today's dating language and discovers some of these trends are even stranger than they sound.

The conversation then turns to social media algorithms after Chris accidentally sends himself down a very dark Instagram rabbit hole. Amy attempts to explain how the algorithm works and why Chris needs to spend a lot more time looking at gardening videos and a lot less time watching trains hit things.

Plus, the Facebook Mums Group tackles one of modern parenting's biggest debates: has gentle parenting gone too far? Amy shares advice from parenting expert Gen Muir and explains why boundaries, connection and consistency matter far more than following a parenting trend.

And Chris finally feels vindicated after discovering that learning a second language may actually help protect against dementia later in life, despite Amy's ongoing concerns about his Spanish lessons.

Amy Gerard shares a frightening moment that left both her and her kids shaken after an e-bike rider cut in front of her car and collided with the vehicle at a busy intersection. What could have been a serious accident quickly turns into a broader discussion about road safety, e-bikes and the lessons kids need to learn before it's too late.
On this episode of the Chris &amp; Amy Podcast, the team react to an unbelievable story out of America involving a man who smuggled a crockpot of chilli into a packed IMAX cinema and started selling bowls to moviegoers during the screening. They also discuss Australia's strong Commonwealth Games start and the growing excitement around some of the biggest movie releases of the year.
Chris and Amy dive into the changing attitudes towards childhood sleepovers, debating how much trust parents need before letting their children stay at someone else's house. The conversation leads into a wider discussion about childhood independence, parenting fears and whether kids have become less street smart than previous generations.
Plus, Chris explains the analogy he uses to teach his son about gambling, Amy prepares for her long-awaited Italian getaway, and the pair share their latest Nailed It or Failed It moments featuring cockatoos, bush turkeys and an impressive DIY bunk bed project.
