  • The Bluey 28 minute special 'The Sign' was everything we hoped it would be; plot twists, a wedding, some great Brisbane locations and a heap of gags for the grown ups.

    To celebrate 'The Sign' we spoke to Meg Washington, voice of Bluey's teacher Calypso. Meg is also featured in the special with her song 'Lazarus Drug' bringing the episode to its epic crescendo.

    Meg is one of Brisbane's favourite singer songwriters and most versatile vocalists, and has just recently completed a run of shows with Australian symphony orchestras.

    Check out the Bluey x Meg Washington music video for 'Lazarus Drug'.

    You can also listen to the original version of 'Lazarus Drug' from the album 'Batflowers'.

    Follow Meg on Instagram to keep up to date with news, release and tour dates.

    One of our favourite articles about 'The Sign' was the piece that Mary Bolling from the Gotta Be Done podcast wrote for the ABC.

    Massive props to Brendan from The Hammerbarn Project podcast, who snagged a voice role in 'The Sign'.

  • It was the cliffhanger that has left Bluey fans shocked and with a ton of questions.

    In the episode Ghost Basket, which aired globally on the weekend, it was revealed that the Heelers have put their heritage Queenslander on the market.

    In classic Bluey style though, the very next day a listing appeared on the Domain website for the Heeler house, describing it as a 'quaint, animated family home'.

    "“Illustrated lovingly at the end of a cul-de-sac, this house sits atop a hill with views of Mount Coot-tha. This 3 bedroom, 4 (ish) bathroom home boasts of work from home spaces, lovely period floorboards and mysterious hallways that don’t logically seem to join spaces together but always feel cohesive and purposeful. Perfect for endless play and games with the family.”

    Ludo Studio said in a statement: “Bluey’s home is where our story begins and we’re excited to share next week if it’s where our story ends. The Heeler’s home is another character that we love and care about as much as The Heeler’s themselves."

    To find out if it's a good time to sell in Brisbane, and what kind of price tag the Heeler home would fetch, we spoke to Von Barnes of Pinnacle Properties, based in Brisbane's inner north-west.

    So all will be revealed this weekend with the feature length, 28 minute episode 'The Sign', which airs at 8am on ABC Kids and ABC iview in Australia, Sunday April 14.

    'The Sign' also will be available to view globally on Disney+.

  • We've been fascinated by the success of Bluey in the United States - how did a show about talking dogs from Brisbane become one of the most viewed shows in the US?

    Kyle Thompson got in touch with us after he met Dave McCormack (Bandit) and Melanie Zanetti (Chilli) at the Twin Cities Con.

    Ahead of the very first global Bluey release dates, and Bluey's feature length episode The Sign, we thought we'd sit down with Kyle to find out more about what our American friends think about the juggernaut from down under!

  • It's a Valentine's Day special with Julia Quinn, the New York Times bestselling author of the Bridgerton series.

    Julia was in Brisbane for the event 'A Romantic Rendevous', presented by the Australian Romance Readers Association and Brisbane Libraries.

    She had also hiked from the CBD to Paddington with hopes of seeing the Heeler House, which Airbnb brought to life last year.

    We couldn't pass up an opportunity to quiz Julia about her love of Brisbane's favourite family of talking dogs.

    #1 New York Times bestselling author Julia Quinn began writing one month after graduating from college and, aside from a brief stint in medical school, she has been tapping away at her keyboard ever since.

    Her novels have been translated into 43 languages and are beloved the world over. A graduate of Harvard and Radcliffe Colleges, she lives with her family in the Pacific Northwest. 

    The Netflix adaptation of Bridgerton premiered in 2020.

  • In this episode of Bluey's Brisbane, we're taking a look at the Bluey episode 'Fairy Tale' and reminiscing about our childhoods, and what life was like in that wild time known as the 80s.

    We also talk to Kerry Griffith, the Heritage and Museums Coordinator for the Moreton Bay Regional Council, and has overseen The 80s Exhibition at the Bribie Island Seaside Museum, which is just north of Brisbane.

    Check out the Seaside Museum's web page for opening hours and more info.

    The 80s Exhibition is part of the Hot Hot Hot Festival and runs until the end of February.

    If you're not local you can still get into the groove (Madonna pun anyone?) with The 80s Exhibition's Spotify Playlist.

    There's also a pretty obscure reference to Dave McCormack (Bandit) and what he was up to in the 80s which we'll fill you in on.

    You can listen to our full interview with Dave here, or find it in your podcast feed.

  • When we got the call from Mary Bolling saying she was going to be in Brisbane, and did we want to catch up at a pub....the answer was yes, yes, yes!

    Mary along with Kate McMahon hosts the original Bluey podcast, Gotta Be Done, and has racked up 160 episodes of their Bluey recaps, along with some pretty cool chats with Bluey cast and crew.

    We met up for a few beers at Felons Brewing on the Howard Smith Wharves, right in the heart of Brisbane, to discuss all things Bluey!

  • After our recent Father's Day episodes, we were contacted by US filmmaker Joe Gidjunus from Veracity Studios in Philadelphia.

    Joe was in the early stages of a new documentary called 'Grown Up Dad'; a film which aims to challenge the negative stereotypes of fathers on TV and in the media.

    Shortly after Bluey launched in America, Joe discovered the show and finally found the positive fathering role model he'd been longing for.

    Joe is currently in Australia filming for the new documentary and Justin jumped at the chance to meet up for a chat about the film, and Brisbane's very own fathering legend!

    You can find out more about 'Grown Up Dad' at the doco's website, and while you're there make sure you sign up to the email list. This will keep you up to date of the film's progress, but also help Joe and his team prove that there's an audience that wants to see more Bandit Heeler's and less Al Bundy's!
