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

This week the pod has been cursed with an almighty stench, but that won’t stop us recording our first full-length international podcast. It was an explosive semi-final week on Dancing With the Stars NZ, containing everything from smooth sax, non-consensual bum-drumming and a terrible cover of ‘Timber’.

There’s also some extremely exciting Real News about Brussels sprouts, dogs on trains and Jane’s first celebrity sighting in LA (lady who was an extra on C.S.I). Also, you won’t believe what Colin Mathura-Jeffree bought at the supermarket this week. It’s The Real Pod, really.
