Jade's America Adventure, Things Bogans Like & "Curve" Mag

This week on Diff'rent Strokes...



The one and only Jade Gulliver returns to Diff'rent Strokes tonight, bringing with her some highlights of her American escape. Hear Jade recount spending Christmas and New Years over in sleepy Tulsa and seeing New York (home of our beloved 30 Rock).

ONLINE:



Things Bogans Like is one of Dave's new favourite blogs. Tonight our Diff'rent Strokes duo will talk about dip into bogan culture and do a bit of self-assessment. We'll talk about our iconic bogues Kath & Kim and if there's an American equivalent for something that fabulous.

MAGAZINE:



Jade brings back a good old lesbian magazine from the States - Curve! We're not used to lesbian magazines talking about 101 ways to orgasm... so this'll be a revelation. Much to Dave's unease...

Remix Competitions, Winq Magazine & BoA

This week on Diff'rent Strokes...

ONLINE:

Dave talks about pop artists with remix competitions. Everyone from Black Eyed Peas to Annie and even Sugababes are doing it these days. An excellent opportunity for up-and-coming producers and of course, it generates invaluable hype for the artist and song.

MAGAZINE:

Dave reviews his new favourite magazine, Winq - a global queer culture magazine for gay men. Why is it so hard to find a well-proportioned gay men's magazine? Pun intended.

MUSIC:

Dave spins Korean pop sensation BoA's debut English album. Fans of Britney's Blackout - take note. This could be right up your alley. Tune in to sample four tracks off the BoA album, including the current club heat 'Energetic'.

John Richards, Street Press & Vanessa Amorosi

Tonight on Diff'rent Strokes...

PODCAST:

We rope in John Richards of the Boxcutters (Triple R) and Outland Institute (JOY 94.9) fame to talk about his podcast programs. Our Diff'rent Strokes duo and John discuss the difference between preparing for a radio show and a podcast show, and how people consume the two media.

MAGAZINE:

Jade steers Dave away from glossy magazines to talk about street press. How have Beat and Inpress - two of Melbourne's biggest live music street presses - managed to co-exist in such close competition? And what will happen when more print titles migrate online? We come up with a solution for Dave's "magazine sniffing" addiction...

MUSIC:

Dave reviews the boisterous new Vanessa Amorosi album, Hazardous. Safe to say, our V Mama is an Aussie pop battler fighting against all odds in an Australian media culture ridden with tall poppy syndrome. Tune in to sample four tracks off the album, including her first Australian #1 single, 'This Is Who I Am'.

Celebrity Apps, "The Advocate" & Shakira!

This week on Diff'rent Strokes...

ONLINE:



Celebrity apps! We're living in an iPhone culture, where it's all about apps and getting entertainment directly from our phone. Dave reports on the celebrities that have jumped on this band wagon and review their apps. Who has the better value app? Britney, Pussycat Dolls or Lady Gaga? From the look of these time wasters, we reckon a Diff'rent Strokes app could easily be more fun.

MAGAZINES:



Jade reviews "The Advocate" magazine - an American gay and lesbian monthly magazine. Tune in to her talk about the magazine's content and style, and whether there's a market for a regular GLBTIQ news magazine in Australia.

MUSIC:

Dave reviews Shakira's latest album She Wolf. Tune to hear him go as far as touting this as one of his albums of the year. As always, there will be an 'album in the blend' - so you can sample four tracks off the record.

The All New Diff'rent Strokes

The wait is ova, Rihanna style.



Diff'rent Strokes pilots their all new format tonight: prepare for a camp and geek collision of all things media!

"A change is as good as a holiday! It was time for us to refine the focus of the show," says Jade who has been co-hosting the show with Dave for over two and a half years now.

"A media focused show makes sense because both Jade and I both work in the media. It's our opportunity to marry our interests in magazine publishing, podcasting and music and give you guys our signature Diff'rent Strokes take on those topics," Dave explains.

Our new episodes will feature all new segments on :
- Music
- Podcasts
- Magazines
- Online/Blogs
- TV
- and more...

"We're excited about new opportunities for interviews and more in-depth discussions about what we're passionate about. I mean, it could only mean more pop music rants from David Lim!" says Jade.

In our pilot episode tonight...

MAGAZINE:



Dave talks about the interesting hybrid magazine/album booklet package found in Mariah Carey's new album, Memoirs of An Imperfect Angel. This luxurious 34-page mini Elle magazine dedicated to all things Mimi is the first of its kind... could it signal a new lucrative partnership between the magazine publishers and record companies?

MUSIC:



Jade reviews the new Tegan & Sara album, Sainthood and reflects on famous sibling bands. Hanson, anyone?

PODCAST:



Jade presents an introduction to one of her favourite podcasts - Planet Money. Even if you're not an economics guru, you'll fall in love with their witty anecdotes and pop culture references. Check out Planet Money's podcasts here.
