The Real Pod assembles to dissect the week in reality television and real life, with special thanks to Nando’s.

You asked for it: we’re all back in the same room, at the same time. Kind of. Alex is 20 minutes late and Jane got the time wrong, so Duncan starts an eight minute monopod. There’s much to cover in the news this week, from the dog that lived for 51 weeks in the wild to the woman who thinks prunes should be handed out on planes.

There’s also the drama of Dancing With the Stars NZ, which 2/3 of the podmates are still enjoying very much. K’Lee pinched her nerve and made breaking news on The Project NZ, our heavenly father Colin Mathura-Jeffree was in the audience on Monday night, and Mike McRoberts needs to do some hot yoga STAT. It’s The Real Pod, and it’s your new reality.
