That's a wrap on the latest series of the Beyond Reality Podcast. Over the course of the series, I chatted to television executives, directors, senior field and post producers, casting directors, former reality contestants and media personalities. So grateful to all my incredible guests that shared their stories in the television industry and provided valuable insights into what it takes to make it in TV. Find out more about my guests from this season.
On the Beyond Reality podcast, I’m joined by Leroux Botha, the Creative Producer for Cape Town based production company afrOkaans and Executive Producer for Survivor South Africa. In this chat, Leroux shares his incredible journey in television from his early years working on soap operas, to becoming the instrumental force in returning Survivor South Africa to our screens in recent years.
On the Beyond Reality podcast, I chatted with Series Producer, Natasha Pizzica, who’s worked across a range of genres from primetime entertainment shows like Big Brother and Gogglebox to iconic kids television such as Playschool and Teletubbies, and even though-provoking docuseries like Limitless with Chris Hemsworth. I find out how Tash’s theatre background set her up for a career of creativity, how she navigates the busy world of TV production as a working mum and why her son is her biggest inspiration.
