This episode is CHAOTIC diva deep chat, tearing apart the choppiest clubs in brisbane and about 47 different topics but all of them ate.Sam just finished the final script for their folklore proof of concept short film after working through absolute HELL, Brock's writing his own horror script, and we both spiral into manifestation talk because we've been seeing angel numbers everywhere (111s and 777s if you're wondering, and yes girl they mean we're about to be rich and famous diva).Then we get into Brisbane club discourse and absolutely DRAG The Met and Birdies into the ground (both are hell, one is like babysitting a five-year-old in a shit pen). We rank after-club food spots (Yiros supremacy, GYG and Maccas for the poverty meal), discuss Valley culture.Raye's new album is our diva of the week (both of us, we're aligned for once) because it's theatrical, raw, unfiltered artistry that's bringing jazz and storytelling back to music. Sam also shouts out Luscious Massacre for winning at the Queerties and giving a speech so powerful it gave chills — about queer nonconformity, refusing to fit in boxes, and why we're not here to perform queerness for straight comfort.

Episode 44 is Journalism with Jordie. We sit down with Jordan Lamont, journalist and absolute diva who's out here redefining what news can look like.

She talks about going from internship into full journalism career, but not in the way you'd expect. Jordan's not trying to write 2000-word articles that three people will read she's frontiering social media-first journalism, shortform local news, and online series that people actually want to consume.We get into the evolution of journalism in the age of TikTok and Instagram, why traditional written news is dying (sorry boomers), and how social media is becoming the new news outlet whether legacy media likes it or not.

Jordan talks about the stories she wants to tell, the people she's dying to interview, and what it's like doing actual field work as a young journalist in a industry that's being completely reshaped.This is for anyone interested in journalism, media, content creation, anyone who gets their news from Twitter instead of newspapers (so... everyone), and anyone who thinks the news should actually be accessible and not boring as fuck. Jordan is pioneering a whole new wave and we're here for it.🎙️ Jordan's journey: internship to journalism career📱 Social media journalism vs traditional articles (one is winning)🎬 Shortform news, online series & the future of media✨ The stories she wants to tell & people she wants to interviewFollow Jordan Lamont:Insta/Tiktok: @Journojordie🔍 HASHTAGS#OkayDiva #Journalism #FutureOfJournalism #SocialMediaNews #MediaEvolution #ShortformContent #NewsMedia #ContentCreator #LocalNews #GenZJournalism #BrisbanePodcast #QueerPodcast

Episode 43 is just vibes. We're sitting down with no plan and just... yapping. We get into the MCU and where it's actually going with the new Spider-Man movie, Sam casually drop that he might've been abducted by aliens as a baby, and then we spiral into talking about our favourite Nintendo DS games from when we were kids because that's just where the conversation went, babe.This is your standard Okay Diva yarn. No structure, no guest to keep us on track, just Brock and I sitting in the lounge room talking about Marvel, alien conspiracy theories, and the DS games that raised us. It's warm, it's chaotic, it's exactly what you tune in for.We're just two divas doing what we do best — talking for an hour about whatever's on our minds and somehow making it work.🎬 MCU hot takes: Spider-Man & where Marvel's headed👽 My alien abduction theory (I'm serious)🎮 DS games that shaped us (nostalgia hit HARD)💅 No plan, just vibes, exactly how we like it🔍 HASHTAGS#OkayDiva #MCU #SpiderMan #Marvel #AlienAbduction #NintendoDS #ChildhoodGames #GamingNostalgia #CasualPodcast #JustTalking #BrisbanePodcast #QueerPodcast

Sitting down with Lisa No License, the lesbian jester and Brisbane drag/ burlesque ICON, Translink's worst nightmare, and a bad b!tch with an unhinged employment history.

This girl has done EVERYTHING. Stage rigger? Check. Film industry? Purr. Stripper? girl YES. Stripper... manager? babe come on now.And why she got fired from Fishbowl after ONE DAY, girl we get ALL the tea.

Lisa spills on their drag journey, what it's like doing drag in Brisbane when you're broke as fck, how to serve mall drag LOOKS on a BUDGET, and what actually makes drag feel authentic.

This episode is a YAPPATHON. We could not shut it, yappa yappa yappa and honestly? We shouldn't have to. Lisa is a total KIKI. With her thousand lives lived and zero fcks given this is a pure chaotic queen out. This is fierce cvnty sheila shenanigans from start to finish and we are OBSESSED.

We're talking about our dreams!

In Episode 41, Brock and I finally sit down and talk about where we actually see ourselves going. The dreams we have, the films I want to direct, the roles Brock wants to play, where we'll be in a year, two years, five years, when we're dead.

I talk about the kind of director I want to be, the stories I need to tell, the films that live in my head rent free sis. Brock talks about the acting he wants to do, the characters he's obsessed with playing, the kind of career he's building.

We get into what success actually means to us, whether we're being realistic or just like, aggressively delusional, and why we refuse to settle for boring lives.

This episode is for anyone who has dreams they're too scared to say out loud. Anyone who looks at their life and knows there's more. Anyone manifesting a future that feels impossible but also… inevitable? We're not being humble about this. We know what we want and we're gonna get it.

🎬 Directing dreams: the films, the fear, the vision

💅 Acting dreams: roles, characters, career goals

🧠 1 year, 5 years, end of life - where we're going

✨ Delusion? Maybe. But we're right though.

Episode 40. We made it. And we're coming for the robots.To celebrate our 40th episode, we invited Tom Wilson — singer-songwriter, artist, long-time collaborator, and living proof that real human creativity will always beat whatever the fuck AI is trying to do. This episode could have been about Tom's music, their songwriting, and their time at an LA retreat with legends who've written for Whitney Houston, Jessie J, Tina Turner, and Britney Spears.But obviously being drama queens it had to became something bigger: a manifesto against artificial intelligence in art.We go OFF about AI in music, AI in art, why algorithms will never replace human mess and chaos, and why the imperfect, unhinged, drunk-vomit-covered reality of being an artist is exactly what makes it sacred. Tom talks about their creative process, what it means to write songs that actually mean something, and why you can't replicate human experience with a f*cking robot.This episode is divas against AI despite the many captions I've used Ai to make. This episode is messy, human, iconique, chaotic, and everything a computer could never fucking replicate.🎤 Tom Wilson on REAL songwriting, human creativity & fuck AI🤖 Divas declare war on artificial intelligence in art🍷 Controversial take: vomiting is part of the drunk makeout💅 Why chaos, mess & humanity is better than algorithmsTHE Episode 40. Real artists. Real mess. Real divas. F*ck them bots honey.Follow Tom Wilson:Linktree: https://linktr.ee/twilsonmusic?utm_source=linktree_profile_share

In Episode 39 of Okay Diva, Sam shows up wine drunk in a blonde wig doing a British accent for no reason, and Brock just... rides the storm like the professional diva he is. We were SUPPOSED to talk about dream weddings. We did not talk about dream weddings.Instead: cat piss carpet trauma, Sam's running (fitness icon era), going full Karen on an insurance company, what inanimate object's we are (the verdict: unclear), Frozen trauma, the psychological breakdown of hate comments in our new Diva Takes segment (Sam went FULL sociologist for 10 minutes), Lizzie McAlpine going Broadway, and Lana Del Rey entering her romantic married poet era with her alligator hunter husband.This episode is structureless fuckassery. It's accents we can't commit to, and tangents that lead nowhere. It's a reset. It's chaos. It's perfect.🍷 Sam: wine drunk, wigged up, British (sometimes American, sometimes ???)💅 Pure unfiltered chaos with zero editorial oversight🧠 Surprise deep dive: hate comments & societal regression (Diva Takes)🎵 Divas of the Week: Lizzie McAlpine & Lana Del ReyWe'll talk about weddings next episode.

Welcome back divas! This week takes a WILD turn as Sam discovers he's accidentally ended up on Epstein conspiracy Twitter—and the algorithm thinks we're full-blown conspiracists now. We spiral through whether we're being propagandized, how support groups for government victims are liking our tweets, and what it means when you tweet "feeling so 2109" and conspiracy theorists think you're one of them.Then we pivot to the REAL question: which apocalypses would we actually survive? We rank everything from zombie outbreaks (Walking Dead vs 28 Days Later vs Last of Us) to nuclear holocaust, natural disasters, and fungal infections. Are zombies supernatural or just infected? Would we survive flooding? Who's getting bitten first? We break down survival strategies, debate whether The Walking Dead counts as a supernatural show, and reveal who's actually making it through the end times.It's conspiracy theories, apocalypse survival rankings, and complete chaos. Exactly what you signed up for.FOLLOW US:Instagram: @okaydivapodcastTikTok: @okaydivapodcast0:00 Intro: Pink Pillow Size Wars1:00 Sam's Diva Moment: Bus Stop Fashion Defender7:31 Brock's Diva Moment: Rest & Relaxation Era10:59 The Epstein Twitter Spiral Begins20:11 Conspiracy Twitter Likes Our Tweets?!21:57 Horror Movie Tangent: Primate & End Times23:00 APOCALYPSE SURVIVAL RANKINGS28:13 Nuclear Holocaust vs Yellowstone Eruption31:26 Zombie Movie Debate (Are They Supernatural?)41:25 Divas of the Week Reveal48:14 Chappell Roan Concert Hype & Wrap Up
