These TV Shows Changed Everything

MAMAMIA PODCASTS
About this episode

What can we expect from the Logies this Sunday? We share our predictions for the winners and talk about the reality of what goes on behind the scenes (and it's more cringe than you'd think.)

Plus, a deep dive into Aussie TV’s Hall of Fame—these shows didn’t just entertain; they defined a generation.

Plus our Weekend Watch recommendations, including the ONLY improv show Em has ever laughed out loud at and the feel-good romcom turning the well-worn genre on it's head.
