DING DONG! That's the theatre foyer bell. It's time to get your arse into the theatre, you're sitting in the dress circle, and the show is about to begin. We are joined by the most divine star of Australian Musical Theatre, and our dear pal: Karis Oka! This is a mammoth episode and we cover a lottttt of ground. From authenticity in audition rooms, to Karis' recent casting as Lydia in Beetlejuice to her love of spooky things, this episode is a very special one.
We then open up our hotline for all you little rats who adore Karis as much as we do, Karis then shares a new medical condition she has coined for herself, and as always there is a 'Hit It Toots!' where we all play rats.
We hope you love this episode! It was a joy to record.
See you this Thursday for 'Ratfood!'.
Love Mel & Sam

Mel & Sam would like to acknowledge that Ratbag is being recorded on Stolen Land.
The original custodians of this land have had a rich history of storytelling for over 65,000 years, and we pay our respects to the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation whose land we are recording Ratbag on.
Treaties were never signed. Sovereignty was never ceded. Always was and always will be Aboriginal land.
