Fruity Alexia: Recent Episodes
Alexander Jenkins and Alex Houy
A comedy pop-culture podcast that's more Passion Pop than cultured.
Childhood friends Alexander and Alex rewatch television series from a more innocent time, remembering those last few moments before social media took over our lives.
Listen as two has-beens in their mid-thirties - torn between memories of being young hopefuls embarking on their own careers in entertainment, and the reality of where they have actually ended up - as they following along with the iconic reality shows that accidentally shaped the media landscape of the last 20 years.

While it may not be all glamour being a popstar, we get a glimpse behind the scenes on Bardot's 'Poison' film clip where no expenses are spared, but schedules are tight. If you only watch one episode of Popstars Australia Season 1, this is it. But before you do, listen to what Alexander and Alex have to say with the benefit of 20 years of hindsight.

NOTE: While we may appear to make light of the subject, we do not condone any involvement of Ulf Ekberg (known for being a member of Ace of Base) in and white supremacist organisations.
A link to some more information about Ulf Ekberg's involvement in a neo-Nazi organisation: https://www.vice.com/en/article/rm35nr/ace-of-bases-secret-nazi-past
And a link to Ekberg discussing it in a documentary. https://youtu.be/HMBwFC1roEw?t=351
We acknowledge the Holocaust as one of the most significant genocides in recent history, where over ten million people, including six million Jews, were massacred by the Nazi regime. Holocaust education is essential to prevent this catastrophic episode of history from repeating itself.
