Unfashionably Late
The Pop Culture Catch-Up You Didn’t Know You Needed
Always running late but never missing a beat, Unfashionably Late is your deep-dive into everything loud, glittery, iconic and occasionally unhinged in entertainment.
Hosts Robbie M and Maddy (Damien) serve up sharp takes, chaotic laughs and unapologetic stan energy as they unpack the worlds of pop culture, musical theatre, pop music, divas, drag, and both Aussie and global entertainment.
Whether it’s dissecting a pop girl’s comeback, reviewing the latest blockbuster musical, celebrating queer excellence, or dragging the dramas that deserve it, Robbie and Maddy bring a mix of industry insight and a 30-year friendship that feels like pre-drinks backstage at the must attend gig, or in the VIP room before carrying on at the after-show party. If you love a big belt, a bigger personality, and an even bigger opinion, you are fashionably early for the Unfashionably Late Podcast.
New episodes every fortnight.
Tune in, catch up, and stay a little late with us. 🎧✨

He holds a BA with a major in drama from the University of Newcastle. He is completely obsessed with musical theatre – especially Broadway divas. Since relocating to Sydney at the beginning of 2024, he attends every musical he can get to and lives with his partner and grumpy 12-year-old poodle. His claim to fame is that he once met Patti Lupone in New York and she was nice to him.
