Gotta Be Done - A Bluey Podcast

It's a Gotta Be Done episode as long as War and Peace (more or less) - it's Army of course! 

Mary and Kate salute with good dog/soldier Rusty and his suspiciously weapon-free war games, wonder if Jack Russell's family are unsympathetic or merely driving narrative, and revel in some mighty military drumming.  

Plus, there's plenty of long dogs in our sights, good intel on a Classical Bluey playlist, and even tips for keeping kids occupied amidst lockdown. Forward march!

Gotta Be Done is ex-journos and Melbourne mums Kate McMahon and Mary Bolling, as we deep-dive on every Bluey episode, with plenty of detours into mama life, childhood memories, and everything else we're bingeing, too!

At a time when no one's leaving the house, isn't it great that Sticky Gecko reminds us it's impossible anyway!

Get ready for deep truths about time (a construct), friends (don't have judgey ones), and lasagna (you can have too much), as Mary and Kate take on Chilli's spectacular turn at Take Away.  

With bonus Bluey armed forces theories, you don't have to hurry up and wait for this SNAFU of an episode!

It's an epic grudge match, and Squash inspires an epic episode from Gotta Be Done!

Wide-ranging from formative squash court memories, to lack of games consoles in our households, magic and/or positive thinking and/or sports psychology, sportsball shortages, and even the feral inhabitants of Great Keppel Island, all welcome to whatever the hell is going on. 

So crank your 80s synths and put on your best montage face, this is some yellow-dot-ball level analysis!

(After one glorious episode using our new mics, this week they didn't work - Skype crackle is back!) 

Happily, Charades means gorgeous Nanna Heeler is also back - cue nationwide tears as we all miss our grans! Kate gets reminiscent about visits to her grandparents as a littlie... then staying at Mary's grandparents as a not-so-littlie!  

But are there also nationwide culture wars between parents and grandparents, and who's wrecking the kids more? Mary has outrage to share. 

Finally, an epic rabbit hole as we ask the question everyone wants to know: who is the mystery Heeler??

Life feels a bit heavy right now - what better time for a Featherwand? And Bluey and Bingo are as magical as ever! 

But what's magic, and what's just mayhem? Hard to tell, especially when Lucky's Dad gets involved. 

Of course we go into the Hall of the Mountain King, and spin-offs soundtracks from Inspector Gadget to the Winklevoss twins. Also, how Greig felt about his most famous piece, and why composer types have such cool names (Edvard, Wolfgang, Ludwig, Joff... and of course Ari!)

Plus, Mary shows off her dismal dearth of pop culture wizardry, and that's not the only wizards she's confusing (sorry Beth Harvey and Beth Durack!) But who's not a bit confused right now? At least we know for sure that Bluey got her Emmy - hugest congrats Ludo Studio, never in doubt!
