What's the most diva job in the world? It's our first solo episode in a few weeks, divas, and we finally asked the question we've been sitting on for weeks.

Sam relives front row for OG Slayyyter in a tiny festival tent. Brock ranks every acting agency in Brisbane (but he won't name names). Then we blind rank everything new on our screens: Avatar: Seven Havens, VisionQuest, Whalefall, The Mummy and our American Horror Story: Asylum rewatch. Plus Olivia Rodrigo and Chappell Roan's Expectations remix, Tate McRae's Housewife and Joey Jay landing in Australia.

What's the most diva job you can think of? Drop it below.

Episode 71 is the Okay Diva podcast live at Cult — Brisbane’s most underground, most unhinged, most you-genuinely-cannot-describe-it queer event, this year themed around Mulholland Drive. Sam and Brock dressed as 80s news anchors, set up a field studio in the belly of the beast, and interviewed everyone they could find while chaos unfolded around them.

This episode is different gurl. No couch, no studio, no structure, just two divas with a microphone, a porn room next door, fire being swallowed somewhere in the distance, and a rotating cast of the most fabulous people in Brisbane telling us what diva means to them. With an extra special interview with Glass Eater herself: the creator, the visionary, the diva who built this whole thing from a 30-patron cabaret to one of Brisbane’s most beloved events.

Cult is back for 2027. You have to be there. You cannot know what it is until you are.
