Buckle up for an unfiltered chat with Jordy as we dive into her life on and after Neighbours.
Hear about the moment from Neighbours that put her feet front and center, leading to some unforgettable fan reactions and how her Mum booked a TV gig before her, WITHOUT EVEN TRYING.
We take a look at the emotional rollercoaster that comes with a career in soap operas— financial woes, unexpected tax bills, and the bittersweet feeling of job loss.
Jordy gives us the inside scoop on how social media has changed the industry and the planning that goes into a character's exit. Plus, hear about her transition from Australian TV to Hollywood, where she navigated the whirlwind of meetings, new opportunities & a management team that gave zero sh!ts about her emotional wellbeing, but that's showbiz baby!

Alex got all fancy for her birthday, heading to GOLD CLASS to watch Zendaya's flick, "Challengers", only to find it missing that secret spice.
Jordy watched Fiona Harvey (aka 'Martha' from "Baby Reindeer") on Piers Morgan and was left questioning whether interviewing a clearly unwell woman was ethical. This then leads us to exploring exactly WHO deserves a right of reply in the media and when someone needs to be 'de-platformed'. We'd love to hear your thoughts on this one!
A recent debacle between Australian podcasters regarding a certain 'dude' from this years season of MAFS is doing the rounds in the news cycle, but Jordy thinks the media have turned it into the feminism Olympics instead of focussing on the bigger issue, VIOLENT MEN!
Could the media ever come together to form guidelines for employing and platforming people with convictions? Alex puts her producer hat on and says NO!
Alex confronts Jordy about a rumoured 'on set romance' from back in the day & we read out some audience feedback.
Just like the inside of our minds, it's an episode of CHAOS, but it's a goody.

Did you know our very own Alexandria Funnell was the social media producer at The Project when Lisa Wilkinson broke the Bruce Lehrmann story?
We've been DYING to discuss this, but kind of wanted to avoid a defamation case 1 week into our podcast, ya know? Well, last week the gavel came down on Bruce Lehrmann, and the floodgates opened for us to speak freely on exactly what we think of him – and speak we do!
Alex recounts the secrecy surrounding The Project's story on Lehrmann, recalling the nerves that gripped the legal team, and the fact checkers that were working hard for the money.
Jordy & Alex discuss the allegations that Channel 7 paid for drugs, sex workers and rent in Sydney in exchange for Lehmann's exclusive interview on Spotlight in 2023.
Charming, right?
But if years of working in this industry have taught us anything, it's that showbiz will go great lengths to keep your secrets, but only if they consider you valuable enough...
