Gender Fluid Fashion….What a crazy world!This week Mitch launched his new range of fashion at Mitch and Mark HOME, and we talk about the whole influence of gender fluidity on fashion, and what does that mean? Harry Styles does it, Christian Wilkins does it….but can anyone play with gender fluid fashion? And, we’re in an election. What does this mean for property owners, people who want to buy and people who are renting. There’s talk of interest rate hikes, and now pressure in the rental market. What are the candidates saying, if anything, about property. The Block 2022 got started, and for one couple came to an abrupt end. The Block never fails to deliver twists and turns…what next?We wrap up Season 1 of Reality Reno with mitch and mark, and will be taking a short break, but stay tuned for our ‘living next door to Alice’ updates on property and will our portrait make the final of the Archibald Prize! The incredible artist Caroline Zilinsky captured us on canvas, but will her skill see her portrait short listed…and what is the Block connection to The Archibald? Stay Tuned!We’ll be back from 1st June with plenty of new guests and lots to talk about renovations and property….

This week we take a look at long covid, ….. the effects on the building and renovation industry which ,we think are starting to ripple through the community.
In this episode we make a call to our Block builder, Jason Charles, to get his insights into what’s happening, and what the future looks like for renovators in Australia!
With the impacts on freight, and the effects of the Russian invasion of the Ukraine, the cost of materials for building and renovation are skyrocketing. The impact is being felt by builders and in turn has to be passed on to their clients.
In recent months we’ve seen the collapse of building companies in Queensland, WA, Tasmania, Victoria and it’s likely there are more to come.
Right now, it’s almost impossible to have builders provide fixed quotes for jobs, as material costs are so volatile.
‘Long Covid’ is not just a physical phenomenon, but it has emotional, social and economic impact as well. Physical and mental fatigue can set in, so right now looking after our community's mental health is so important.
Kindness counts and our builders and tradies are trying to survive in a dynamically changing environment. Also, remember there are services available if you need support. So if you think you may be struggling with your mental health here are some numbers and resources for youButterfly Phone 1800 33 4673Lifeline: 24/7 Crisis Support – Phone 13 11 14Beyond Blue: 1300 22 4636 Qlife: 1800 184 527 or via webchat

We’ve had lots of questions come in from listeners, so this week we share our thoughts and experience with flipping properties and answer three of our most frequently asked questions.
• Can you make money flipping….well, yes…and no….? We share our approach to the property flipping ‘business’. What do we consider when approaching a project, and what is ‘manufactured growth’? From our perspective, you make your money when you buy your flip-project, not when you sell!
• Mitch often talks about ‘reducing the apologies’ in a property. We’re asked what that actually means, and how do you do it. We share a couple of examples of how an ‘apology’ in a property we bought, became an opportunity to create added value where other potential buyers couldn’t see it.
o Our Tamarama Flip
o Our Woolloomooloo Flip
Keeping to budget in any renovation is tough. Are there tricks to keeping on budget? We share some of our approaches to managing a budget while property flipping, and options for saving money along the way.
For more of our tips and thoughts on property renovations and styling please;

Actress, singer, model, presenter, housewife (we mean a ‘real one!”)….reality star. She’s all of these things, and recently inspired Australia, showing she’s made of tough stuff, facing her fears on SAS, coming out with whole new insights and regard for herself. We sit down with the charming and fabulous Melissa Tkautz. Melissa is known for her career as an actress and singer. Popular from her performances in E Street, Home & Away, Paradise Beach, Echo Point, Pacific Drive, Medivac, All Saints and movie roles in Boar and most recently The Possessed. In our chat we explore what it’s like to be an actress, and to then experience reality TV? How did SAS change Melissa, or allow her to see who she already is? With all her wonderful fashion choices on Real Housewives of Sydney, is she a master of interior design, or needs some help with home styling…. and more. We hope you enjoy discovering more about Melissa Tkautz…we did! Find Melissa at

She’s one of Australia’s iconic Drag performers….if you’ve been to Oxford Street, Sydney, chances are you’ve seen this episode’s guest up on stage, dressed in something outrageously fabulous. This week we chat with Maxi Shield! For the past 25 years Maxi has become one of Australia’s most recognisable Drag Queens, and one of the stars of Ru Paul’s Drag Race Down Under. We’ve seen Maxi perform many many times. She’s fun, clever and a star on stage. Spending time with Maxi, we chatted about the early days of Les Girls that led the way for today’s performers, also the days of ‘Drag Magic’ when transformations seemed to occur before your eyes and what it’s like to express the ‘fabulous’ in yourself.If you’re up for a fabulously fun night on the town in Sydney, Maxi is currently performing in Oxford Street at Ginger’s, also you can have brunch with Maxi on Sundays at “The Fannies”, a decadent breakfast display at The Park, Darlinghurst.

After all the business and chaos of Christmas, lockdown and New Year we were hoping to get a little bit of a breather, but it seems that it will be a while before we actually get a chance to take a break for longer than a few hours. But make hay while the sun shines is the old adage and that is what we are doing. This week we have sunshine in the form of the eccentric and wonderful Fren family - who you will know best from Channel 9's TRAVEL GUIDES. They are a salt of the earth family and what you see is what you get. No holds barred. We love them. We recorded this chat in August last year and the family were scattered all over the place and to be honest we didnt think we would get this to work... but it does.Enjoy our Chat with The Fren Family

This week it's the last of our Block guests for a while and we think it is quite fitting to be talking to our very dear friend and builder extraordinaire Jason Charles. Jason joined us in the Northern Beaches Sydney for a mini break with his wife and to help us to get our heads around our latest RENO.We covered some pretty interesting territory on The Block but we also tapped Jason for a bit of inside info that only a builder like Jason can give.

Our guests this week are charming and are the full package as you may have discovered from their appearances on Love Island. One of them could have been a Royal Marine were it not for a bad case of compartmentalism (at least that's what we think its called) and the other one only went and won Love Island. We know them better as Josh and Luke from The Block, the twins who came second and incidentally helped spark the cheating controversy. No doubt there is more to these guys than meets the eye. This chat is full of revelations.

Our mission on The Block 2021 was to make friends with as many people as we could throughout this crazy adventure.In the first 2 weeks or so of the show we were getting on fabulously with our next Reality Reno Guests.
But then Reality TV did what Reality TV does and things went South for this couple fairly quickly.
Tanya and Vito are probably the most vilified Block contestants of all time. Their entry into the Reality Rascals hall of villains was at least premature.We were delighted to have this opportunity to pick up with Tanya and Vito where we left off when we started The Block. We think you are going to agree with us about these 2.
Check out Tanya and Vito on their socials.

We have some amazing friends and it is our pleasure this week to have Celebrity Chef Anna Polyviou on the show.
Anna is an iconic Australian chef and is regarded as one of the worlds finest pastry chefs. With her trademark Mohawk and her incredible energy and drive we talk to Anna about why she does what she does and what drives her.
We also learn about her journey as a chef and her coming out to her parents playing out pretty much on TV.

Damien Cooley is probably Australia's best known auctioneer and without doubt one of the best.We chatted to him about how he became an auctioneer, and he was kind enough to share a few inside secrets that we think are worth their weight in bricks and mortar. He is a man who cares and who does what he can to help others. Enjoy our chat with Damien Cooley.
