Booty and the Beasts - The Podcast

  • Written by The Times

Cult TV Show Back with Bite as a Riotous New Podcast 

The show that scandalised, shocked and entertained audiences across the country, ‘Beauty and the Beast’, has returned in a modern-day version: Booty and the Beasts - The Podcast

Reviving the spirit of the cult favourite, the new podcast features a fresh lineup of outspoken “Booties” alongside some of the original, much-loved “Beauties.” 

The dynamic cast includes Carlotta, Prue MacSween, former Senator Hollie Hughes, ex-Real Housewife of Melbourne and CNN reporter Anjali Rao, broadcaster and journalist Lucy Zelić, broadcaster Libbi Gorr, former NSW Liberal Party Vice President Teena McQueen, #BossLady and Entrepreneurial and Small Business Women Australia and Western Sydney Women founder Amanda Rose, barrister Margaret Cunneen SC, Creative Director and ‘Leftie’ Gill Minervini, actress and presenter Tania Zaetta. 

As no one could ever replace the one-and-only Stan Zemanek as Beast, Booty and the Beasts – The Podcast features a rotating roster of Beasts to face off with the Booties, including entertainment reporter Craig Bennett, broadcasters John Stanley and Gary Hardgrave, Daily Telegraph columnists Tim Blair and Joe Hildebrand, with seasoned radio and TV commentator Rob McKnight conducting this unruly crowd. 

Produced by original Beauty Prue MacSween, Booty and the Beasts - The Podcast answers the growing demand for unfiltered, unapologetic and non-PC entertainment. 

“Everywhere I’d go, people would celebrate the original show and asked when it’d return,” Prue said. “It was a favourite with people of all ages, who enjoyed the refreshing honesty, exchange of views, irreverence, battle of the sexes and laughs.  This is what the Booty and Beasts – The Podcast now delivers.” 

The panel addresses all the big issues ranging from a woman’s dilemma because her husband wants to mount her dryer above the washing machine and she says the spin cycle is the best part of her sex life, to dealing with “the Pause”, a wandering husband, nosey neighbour and a boyfriend who takes his model car to bed with him. 

Carlotta, a fan-favourite from the original series, said she is thrilled to return to the show she loved. 

“We all had so much fun sticking it up each other – it was no holds barred entertainment and very un-PC – just the way we like it,” Carlotta said. “We miss Stan, but we are enjoying the chance to wrestle our views with the other Beasts,” she added. 

Unfiltered, unapologetic and FREE, Booty and the Beasts - The Podcast is now streaming on all major podcast platforms.
