🎙️ 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.

Serving up sharp takes, 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.

Robbie and Maddy bring a mix of industry insight and a 30-year friendship that feels like pre-drinks backstage, in the VIP, before carrying on at the after-party.

If you love a big belt 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. 🎧✨

    Unfashionably Late Podcast | Mardi Gras Fair Day 2026
    Feb 22 2026

    The Unfashionably Late Podcast hits the heart of the action at Sydney Mardi Gras Fair Day 2026, capturing the colour, chaos, culture, and community spirit of one of the LGBTQIA+ calendar’s most joyous celebrations.

    Coming to you from Victoria Park, Camperdown, the team brings listeners and viewers an on-the-ground snapshot of queer Australia.

    Blending pop culture, politics, performance, and pride in a high-energy, community-first episode that reflects the full spectrum of Mardi Gras.

    The episode features conversations with an extraordinary lineup of guests, including Clover Moore, offering insight into the evolving cultural and civic impact of Mardi Gras, alongside media voices like Andrew Creagh of DNA Magazine and Mon Schasfter from ABC Queer, unpacking representation, visibility, and what Mardi Gras means to them in 2026.

    The creative pulse of Fair Day comes alive through guests including Eli Crawford, Claire deLune, and cult favourites Mr and Mrs White Trash. Community advocacy takes centre stage with Free Mum Hugs, reminding listeners what Mardi Gras is really about, safety, love, and chosen family.

    Also joining the episode are the iconic Simon Burke who’s new show at the Griffin Theatre Company, will be a highlight of the festival.

    This episode isn’t just coverage, it’s a right royal review by Maddy and Rob about Mardi Gras and its position in the community in the current day.

    It captures Mardi Gras Fair Day as a living, breathing ecosystem of activism, artistry, joy, protest, celebration, and pride. Loud, proud, and unapologetically queer, this is Unfashionably Late exactly where it belongs: in the middle of the rainbow.
