This week on our pop culture podcast we talk about a star-studded week of award shows and musicals, as well as the premiere of a new season of The Kardashians and momentous Treasure Island anniversary. 

This week we take you inside the glitz* and glamour** of the Voyager Media Awards, in which MC Mike Puru delivered an incredible media-themed musical number to a standing ovation (from Alex and Duncan). In keeping with the musical theme, Duncan also went to Hamilton, saw a plethora of local stars and didn’t even fall asleep. Alas, Jane missed a DM from Dame Susan Devoy, and missed out on her celebrity encounter of the week. 

Also, we take a look at the new season of The Kardashians on Disney+. Why are they all so much tinier than before? Why the jetpack at the tequila party? And why does everything feel so desperately sad? Closer to home, there’s a thrilling new Taskmaster cast announcement and we look back at the first season of Treasure Island. Sure, we thought it was the 25th anniversary when it is actually the 26th, but who’s counting?
