The trials and tribulations of Mike Goldman.
Shooting Goldman from Mike Goldman on Vimeo.
We shot this feature film a few years ago in Bondi and it played in film festivals all over the world including a massive launch in LA.
A few years in the making we are all super proud of it and would love it if you checked it out.
Here’s a link to a Daily Mail story on the film…..
Star of “Oh My Josh” on Hulu, everyone’s favorite Dancing With The Stars judge and Disney choreographer Josh Horner is back in Australia and dropping some bombs in this podcast. How he came out, working with Disney, his love of Red Rooster coleslaw and what its been like living and working in the USA. He’s one of Australias greatest exports and an awesome bloke. My friend Josh Horner.
This Tuesday night at Fox Studios I’m going to get down and dirty with my TV industry peers to debate the myth that “Internet Killed the TV Star”. Hang on, just have to check my invitation. No wait. I mean I’m debating for the point that the internet IS killing the TV star. Oh, shit, how the hell am I gonna do this? I’ve been working in TV for so many years and saying anything bad about these lovely people who paid my rent and put food on the table could ruin me! Could this be it? Maybe I start looking for a new career as a basketball announcer for the Sydney Kings. Oh, hang on. I already do that. Life isn’t so bad after all. Ok, let’s do this……Unfortunately, in recent years, Telly forgot almost all of his stories and mainly babbled about the same boring things over and over – usually renovations, recipes and weight loss. A very sad end to a very good friend.
Yes, It’s going to be dead and gone like VHS tapes… a landline… Remote controls for things you don’t use anymore and exercise equipment you never used at all – well, maybe once… and dust, lots of dust. Know what most dust is? Human skin… bits of you that died and fell off.
R.I.P. Telly Vision! You will be missed.
Come and watch TV fall off on Tuesday night.

In my quest to seek out the daring and dangerously different people who work ON THE MIKE, (I know the abbreviation for “microphone” is “Mic”) I tracked down Johnny Bongo from Bongos Bingo. This guy is a legend and one of the best live DJ/Bingo announcers and entertainers I have ever seen. Touring Australia with his madcap Bingo show, Johnny Bingo is on a different level. One of the most fun nights I’ve ever had and way better than any bingo night at your local RSL club. Johhny knows how to rock a party like now one else. It’s a super original idea and a show that sells out in minutes whenever tickets go on sale.

Hes a fresh laugh-out-loud Australian observational & improvised standup comedian and he’s On The Mike. We did a show together at the Sydney Comedy Club and he was awesome. We had a great chat about the strange clubs he has played the world over and his stellar career that is on the rise. Please if you read this leave me a cheeky review on Apple Podcasts. Cheers 🙂
Single again after a very public break-up with her husband, radio and TV star Mel Greig is no stranger to controversy. Years after the royal family prank that went horribly wrong Mel is getting her life back on track. A radio show, dating column and a sexual land speed record that I really need to see to believe. Look oout! Mel Greig is back on the prowl and by the sounds of things shes a man eater. Hehe. I know you’re reading this Mel. She probably just screamed,”WHAT!” Ok you’re not that bad.

The “Hoges” mini series on Channel 7 starring Josh Lawson as Hoges was a blast and I can tell you first hand that Josh absolutely nails it. I was lucky enough to get a small role on the series as an American TV reporter interviewing Paul and his wife Delvine Delaney who in real life actually introduced my parents!! Is that weird or what??! I also did a couple of news style anchorman reports that tie together the story in this series where I had to grow this big cheesey 80 mustache and wear Miami vice style pastels. There is so much to this iconic Australians rise to fame that I didn’t know until being a part of this incredible mini series produced by Freemantle media and directed by Kevin Carlin . Love Kevin! He’s awesome to work with!! I’m sure Australians and other people around the world who watch this series will love Australia’s favorite son even more after seeing this series. Incredibly proud to be a part of it!
What is even more cool is the fact that Hoges side kick on the Paul Hogan show, Delvine Delaney introduced my mum and dad in real life. Mum says it like this.
“So I was in the Miss Australian Beach Girl Competition in 1971 and Delvine Delaney was chaperone for the Queensland representative. Then this guy called Grant Goldman came to meet his friend Delvine Delaney at the Contactio Motel, which is no longer around when I was introduced. After winning the competition I went on my winning trip to Hawaii, then when I got back there was a disco in town where I was and Grant came up and introduced himself. We went on a date after that and made two lovely boys, Mike and Jay Goldman.”
Mum back then and now sailing around Australia with her salty sea dog,”Dallas Williams”.
Nice one mum! She now sails around Australia and writes a blog called “Pensioner Pirates”.
