In this episode of TV Central: One on One, Aaron Ryan is joined by Mel Doyle to discuss the new season of Channel 7’s The House of Wellness.

Mel reflects on the show’s evolution into a prime-time fixture, its new on-screen team with Shane Crawford, Dr Michela Sorensen and Sam Taunton, and the balance between approachable health information, humour, celebrity guests, live music and big entertainment moments.

They also discuss what makes health conversations work best when they feel like a relaxed loungeroom chat rather than a lecture; Sam Splainer’s comic take on wellness; the chemistry between Mel and Shane; and how the format could continue to grow.

Away from The House of Wellness, Mel talks about the art of interviewing, the importance of earning trust, her time on Sunday Night, and whether This Is Your Life could return after its acclaimed revival.

Plus, a preview of what is ahead for The House of Wellness, including Jimmy Rees, Gavin Wanganeen, Dr Michela’s discussion on tiredness and insomnia, and Shane Crawford’s latest Crash Test Crawf challenge.

Aaron Ryan speaks with Brydon Coverdale, better known as The Shark from The Chase Australia, ahead of the prime-time special The Chase Australia: Larry and Friends.

In this TV Central: One on One podcast, Brydon discusses the pressure of facing a Chaser, why even experienced television presenters can become nervous at the podium, and how the celebrity edition changes the mood of the game as Larry Emdur is joined by Sonia Kruger, David Woiwod, Johanna Griggs and Dr Chris Brown to raise money for Beyond Blue.

Brydon also reflects on more than a decade with The Chase Australia, the enduring strength of the format, the rhythm of the Final Chase, the personalities of the Chasers away from the cameras, and how much of The Shark is character and how much is the real Brydon Coverdale.

The Chase Australia: Larry and Friends airs Monday, 20 July, at 7.30pm on Seven and 7plus.
