We survived Laneway. Barely. Iconically.In Episode 37 of Okay Diva, Brock and I debrief from St. Jerome's Laneway Festival on the Gold Coast, QLD — our Chappell Roan live experience (life-changing, tears were shed, we're different people now), festival culture as a concept, and what it's like being total divas in mosh pits (chaotic, necessary, spiritually correct).We break down Laneway Festival 2026, discuss whether music festivals are still worth the price of admission, dirt, and dehydration, and give our full Chappell Roan concert review (spoiler: she's everything, actually). We also get into festival etiquette, mosh pit politics, surviving crowds when you're built for VIP, and whether festivals are cultural touchstones or just expensive sweaty group therapy.This episode is for Chappell Roan fans, festival lovers, Laneway attendees, anyone who's ever been elbowed in a mosh pit and thought "this b*tch," and anyone wondering if live music still hits different. Spoiler: it does. Especially when you're a diva about it.🎪 Laneway Festival 2026 full review💅 Chappell Roan live: the experience, the tears, the transformation🎭 Festival culture deep dive: worth it or a scam?🧠 Mosh pit diva behaviour (a survival guide)

Reality TV doesn't know what's coming. But it should be scared.

In Episode 36 of Okay Diva, Brock and I sit down to discuss the inevitable: our complete domination of reality television. We break down our Traitors strategy (unhinged, genius, would absolutely work), explain exactly how we'd devour RuPaul's Drag Race (runway? eaten. confessionals? iconic. challenge wins? excessive), and detail the unstoppable diva force we'd bring to literally any screen.

We also dissect Masterchef, The Biggest Loser, and the reality TV industrial complex at large — asking the hard questions: Is there a bigger moral fable behind these shows? Are they social experiments or just chaos for profit? What do reality TV competitions say about society, ambition, and the human condition? (And also, would we win?)

This episode is for reality TV obsessives, anyone who's ever screamed at The Traitors, Drag Race fans, competition show lovers, and anyone who's ever thought "I could do that better." Spoiler: we could.

📺 Our Traitors strategy (it's giving mastermind)💅 Drag Race domination blueprint (we'd eat, obviously)🎭 Reality TV philosophy: morality tales or capitalist nightmares?🧠 What competition shows say about all of us (it's bleak but camp)

We're not saying we'd win every reality show we touched. We're just saying production would want us to win. There's a difference.

Cast us or don't. Either way, this episode is television.
