Geeking out with Bruce Campbell, Who Nov 28, 2016

/

In a first, I spoke with Bruce Campbell in a cramped hotel room set up for video. As a print person, this was an odd arrangement, but Bruce was affable and everything you would think he'd be. Thanks to the folks at Australian streaming service Stan for the opportunity (so the person he is looking at in the still below is me!) I got to confess my love for The Adventures of Brisco County Jr, which made it worth it! Also, please note — I know he carries a boomstick, but the word was copy edited to 'broomstick.' For fans of Ash v Evil Dead, here's Bruce! 

Sexiest People 2016: Josh Thomas, Who Nov 7, 2016

I already adore Please Like Me's Josh Thomas, so any chance I get to interview him is a bonus. For the Sexiest People 2016 issue, Josh was part of the "Funny Is Sexy" act, which also included  James Corden, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and featured stars Dave Hughes and Kate Langbroek. Josh's answers are fantastic. I added more online here.

I was absolutely thrilled to be connected on a call to Tyler Henry by David Gardner, a publicist I have known for most of my career. I think Tyler sensed the joy, too — it carried through our interview. I have placed other parts of our chat online, which you can read here. 

Australian Survivor Season 1 kicks off, Who Aug 29, 2016

/

Here is the official Jonathan LaPaglia interview to start the revival of a local edition of Survivor in Australia. I did most of the contestant chats in the form of exit interviews that posted on Who.com, so you can check them out there. I definitely got flashbacks to the US series, especially when I did a finale preview with the host (read here), the winner interview with Kristie Bennett, and the love story between contestants Lee Carseldine and Elena Rowland.
