INTERVIEW | O-week anticipation and anxieties with Tim Burdeu

Midweek Confessions was stacked this week. Sam admits he’s fully addicted to a very specific TikTok video he cannot stop replaying, Ruta reveals she got rejected three separate times just trying to order food, and Jess makes up for lost time with plenty of stories after being away.

Some confessions are relatable. Others… slightly concerning.

MIDWEEK CONFESSIONS | TikTok obsession and restaurant rejection

Sam, Jess and Ruta are finally reunited in the studio as Jess makes her long-awaited return — and there’s a lot to unpack.

Midweek Confessions kicks things off with Sam admitting he’s fully addicted to a very specific TikTok video, Ruta revealing she got rejected three times trying to order food at a restaurant, and Jess unloading plenty of stories after being away.

The trio dive into the Question of the Week — do we gatekeep our hidden gems or actually share them? — before honouring National Inconvenience Yourself Day by confessing the wildest things they’ve done just to avoid a tiny inconvenience. It’s also National Chip Week, which sparks some very passionate chip chat.

Plus, conversations with Davydd Griffiths about the Insect BioBlitz initiative and Gene Efron from Secrets Melbourne unpacking the viral balloon story, before Sam steps up as Crunchmaster to close out the show.

FULL SHOW | Confessions, chip cravings and hidden gems

Ella, Matilda, and Maddy jump in the cereal box for the first time together this morning to shake up the day as a new dream team, discussing all University essentials as the academic season gets back in full swing. The associate director of student life at RMIT, Tim Burdeu, jumped in the Cereal Box to give a sneak peek of what’s to come during O-week celebrations and provided useful advice for commencing students. It wouldn’t be a Tit for Tat Tuesday without sparking a bit of friendly disagreements as we reflect on our question of the week, whether we think we’re gatekeepers or sharers, in which our answers even surprised ourselves. Finally, Maddy and Matilda go head to head to see who is smarter than a fifth grader.
