From skipping the infamous “bark like a dog” audition game to becoming one of Big Brother’s most beloved housemates, Ben from Brisbane has built a life brimming with charm, wit, and self-deprecating humour. In this warm and hilarious episode, Tim chats with Ben about life before, during, and after reality TV fame - covering everything from screening potential plus-ones and carrying his own lighting, to proudly wearing black (“I’m a sweater - it hides everything”), the perils of being “too early” for your time, and why he’ll always choose a day trip over a holiday. Expect stories of foyers, flights, and finding joy in the little things… plus the one piece of advice he’d give to any future Big Brother hopeful.

Before the guests, the games, and the chaos— this is where it all began. Join Tim and Jordan for a spontaneous, slightly unhinged origin story of No Notes: the podcast that accidentally won $40K, defies genre, and promises zero chill but all heart. No scripts. No filter. No rules. Just two best friends, a microphone, and one very confused sound engineer.

Barking, Black Outfits & Brisbane Royalty: Ben from Brisbane Unleashed

After 20 episodes of laughter, chaos, and confession, Tim and Jordan wrap up Season 1 of No Notes the only way they know how — with warmth, wit, and zero structure. They look back on their favourite moments, revisit the wild tangents that made them laugh the hardest, and reflect on how far they’ve come since that very first day in the studio.
From lessons learned and friendships deepened to the power of showing up (even when you’re exhausted or over-caffeinated), this finale is a love letter to every listener who’s joined them along the way. Expect gratitude, giggles, petty grievances, and a few tears — mostly Jordan’s.
It’s equal parts wrap-party and therapy session — the perfect full-circle finish to a season that’s been anything but ordinary.

Simple Joys, Big Goodbyes

This week is all about neighbours - good, bad, and downright terrifying. Tim’s car is stolen from his New Farm driveway in broad daylight, setting off police reports, arrests, and a crash course in feeling safe at home. Jordan rewinds to the Sydney apartment where a late-night thud became a homicide investigation and a second round of witness statements. We swap war stories, ask what “community” actually looks like in 2025, and admit where we’ve gotten neighbours wrong (and right). Plus, Petty Grievances (scent etiquette, juvenile crime) and a Simple Joy you can sip.

Love Thy Neighbour 

A reunion episode for your favourite besties. They talk long distance friendships, green and red flags, a very disruptive audience member, Bali photoshoots, amongst other chaotic topics. Needless to say, you’d better sit down, stand up, have a drink, whatever you need to do - but TUNE IN and LISTEN UP.
