Life as a Stylist with Aaron Mitchell

Fashion. Not just an excellent Gaga song.The boys have virtually welcomed up-and-coming style superstar Aaron Mitchell to the studio this week to deep dive into the glamorous (or maybe not so glamorous?) rag trade. Inspired by fashion's biggest night, The Met Gala, Age & Mitch decided that their comments as two couch experts on how to put together a designer lewk might need some professional backing.Aaron fills us in on how an elite acrobatic gymnastics coach, choreographer and judge, who just really loves clothing, came to turn it into his full-time gig. Tune in for some hot tips on breaking into the industry, why it might be a good idea to don the sketchers on shoot day and where to store a $65k necklace in the middle of Melbourne CBD, in a pinch. For those looking for some free fashion advice on how to start building a successful wardrobe, we've got you covered. And for those who want to hear about when Aaron and Age tried to date and Age royally fucked it (shocker) that's in there too.Of course, it'd be remiss not to take a quick look back at some highs and lows of the recent Met Gala, before looking to the future and some trends to keep an eye on if you're keen to stay ahead of the curve, darling. For our two hosts, it was a joy to chat to someone who is so passionate about making other people feel beautiful, and all we can say is head over and give @aaronmitchellstyling a follow now. Because the revenge heel is bursting onto the scene. And so is he.Make sure you're the first one to press play on every message we leave on your machine by following/subscribing on your favourite podcast platform and leaving us a GLOWING review.

The Catch Up Call #07

R U OK?, bug infestations and Harry Styles spitIt's that time again for your favourite chat between friends.You guessed it, Age & Mitch are back with another episode of The Catch Up Call, where they give you the quick and dirty on whatever's going on in their lives. And whatever headlines have caught their eye from the world at large. Kicking off today, in honour of the recently passed R U OK? Day, the boys take a minute to be raw with their emotions. It's important to remember, especially in this current climate, to check in on each other. So follow their lead. Pause the ep. Ask how your loved ones are REALLY doing. Then resume listening.Heartfelt conversation quickly makes way for Harry Styles spitting in the mouths of adoring fans (something our hosts are very much in two minds about), a pregnancy that has just cost Stormi Webster a LOT of money and other such hot topics. In gay news, Sydney icon ARQ is up for sale if anyone listening has a cool $50m to drop one some prime Darlinghurst real estate. Age & Mitch discuss whether The Straights should be allowed to play The Gays onscreen, and run through the dramatic finale of one of the more satisfying recent seasons of Drag Race. Lots to cover!

How To Be Single

This one goes out to all you out there who are currently... unattached.That's right, this week Age & Mitch are deep diving into their official manifesto: how to be single. Two self-proclaimed (and factually verified) experts on the topic, this ep talks all about that time in your life when you don't have a significant other to pat your head and tell you it's going to be alright. Someone who over time, you'll likely grow to resent, culminating in a vicious battle over shared assets. (Not bitter.)Expect chats on learning to love yourself, moving on from heartbreak, getting yourself back out there and the few successes and many, many rejections you'll likely encounter along the way. Speaking of rejection, the tea is finally spilled on the oft-alluded-to moment that Mitch, in a dark hour, shot his shot with Age... and how that went for all involved.If you're in a relationship, this episode isn't really for you (you have enough) but feel free to listen anyway. Just be prepared for some hard truths because the singles have a few things to get off their chest. Of course, no episode about being single is complete without some faint glimmer of hope for the future, so Age & Mitch give a quick update on their current situation in matters of the same sex and finding love in a hopeless place.Make sure you're the first one to press play on every message we leave on your machine by following/subscribing on your favourite podcast platform and leaving us a GLOWING review.

Your Message, Our Machine #06

Hi, you've called Age... and Mitch! And now they're calling you back.That's right, Age & Mitch are back with another episode of Your Message, Our Machine where (almost) complete creative control is relinquished to the listeners for a bombastic episode of whatever you guys, gals and people want to talk about.This week, Age's blushing ear has returned without any new leads or diagnosis. Conversation turns to the boys' love languages, regrets from their respective childhoods and something that they will absolutely NOT stand for any longer. A listener challenge also came through to tell each other a joke and spoiler alert, they both absolutely tanked. Potentially the first time on earth that our co-hosts have not been able to laugh at each other. Comedy's hard.After covering the very important topic of Which Character from the OC would you bone, the ep turns to a listener-suggested segment (and our new favourite pass-time), reading online brothel reviews. We won't give much away except to say that Lindsay, whoever you are, keep up the good work darl.Once you've finished the ep, get in early and line up your questions, scenarios or segment requests now for the next time MOTM throws to the people. We're always around to take a message via insta DM or email.

You're The Voice with Luke Antony

Before we start, we'd like to leave you a quick message on the machine to say that MOTM encountered a few technical difficulties this week and the sound quality isn't quite up to our usual standard. The perfect week to have a professional singer on the show...Moving along with our regularly scheduled programming, this week Age & Mitch welcome singer/performer extraordinaire Luke Antony, via satellite from Sydney. A working singer for many years, Luke shot into the public eye after his Season 7 stint on The Voice Australia where he rubbed shoulders with the likes of Boy George, Kelly Roland and Joe Jonas *swoon*. Oh, and Delta.The boys couldn't wait to get him on the show to spill the tea on what it was really like behind the scenes of one of the country's biggest reality TV comps. Spoiler alert, sounds like the wrap party is the place to be for a disco pash with an anonymous makeup artist. From there, conversation turns to the highs and lows of the music industry, German pride, karaoke and the one and only... Marcia Hines. Also the wooden furniture business? But more on that later.Luke is really such a treasure and Age & Mitch honestly can't wait until these pesky borders open so they can all get together for a coupla.
