Thank for clicking or downloading on today’s episode with Marcia Hines. We will be talking about her fabulous return to Australian Idol last night
Having taken a break for well over a decade Channel Seven has reimagined the old format and brought the nostalgia back for all those that grew up with Idol as their first singing based reality show.  
Idol originated from the reality program Pop Idol, which was created by British entertainment executive Simon Fuller. Which has given us artists like Guy Sebastian, Rob Mills, Courtney Act and Pauline. Just to name a couple of my favourites.   
No matter what you heard about last years soft reboot of the show. I guarantee if you check out episode one you will be addicted.  
Marcia Hines returning has brought experience and insight to the 2024 panel. That rounds out the right balance of judges improving drastically from last years miss step with Harry Coinnick Jr and Megan Trainor. 
This years promising young vocalists will also sing in from of Kyle Sandilands and Amy Shark who have really found their feet when it comes to giving critics on the contestants. 
There is so much to unpack with Marcia, from how the opportunity came up to return? Who out of the former judges (Mark holden and Ian 'Dicko' Dickson) she still speaks too. Plus how the show has changed and why some conflict is important.
I will ask about her relationship with Kyle Sandilands and why competition based reality shows have thrown our their tired stereotype's when it comes to judging.
Anyway, let’s bring Marcia into the podcast, so sit back and relax as we dive just that little bit deeper into the world of Australian television. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
