Gotta Be Done - A Bluey Podcast

Following last week's new-episodes high, we roll back into old favourites, and analyse different creative play styles with Wagonride. 

(Like distracted mums, we also forget to shout out to the most romantic exchange in recorded history:

Kids: Monkey bars??

Bandit: Argh, Chilli!

Chilli: Asleep!

Bandit: Okay, let's do this!

Us: Swoon!)

Mary appreciates a little old lady-dog's approval (or any approval she can get, really), while the attention to scenery detail has Kate dreaming of Brisbane. 

Also, are the new Blueys getting a bit, ahem, "cinematic"?? We almost get technical with talk of soundtracks and "camera angles" - um, cartoons do use cameras, right??

Finally, we get a bit excited about hearing from Bluey art directors Catriona and Costa - and discovering bit of treasure hidden in the new eps, check out our Insta @blueypod to start hunting too!

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!

New Bluey episodes have dropped - excuse us while we hyperventilate! 

And first up the mainsail, Pirates! With new stories comes new character directions - but are we right to feel just a little bit betrayed?? (We still love you, Bandit-perfect-husband-dog-of-our-dreams!)

When it comes to park antics turning awkward, we've got a tan-bark-load of stories (it is edible, right??), and some pretty good reasons to lose the attitude and embrace the crazy!

We need a day at the beach after this session - prepare for vomit explosions, peeing pippies, menacing waterfowl and more!

Join us to celebrate a celebrity cameo, cry foul at the Heelers' easy-breezy transportation choices, and take the podcast to new literary heights as we discuss Tim Winton's The Swimming Chair. Why? Why not?! 

The Beach is even an excuse to reveal our winter holiday plans - Bluey, we're coming your way!

Academy Awards are free-flowing as Kate and Mary rate theatrical performances in Taxi - seriously, does Bandit have a secret past at NIDA??

As free-ranging as Bluey's driving (or Chilli's navigating), this episode sees us let fly on unachievable Play School craft, unsympathetic frequent flyers, and anyone else who gets in the way. And we get there in the end - but where are we going again??

First deep dive into a Bluey episode - and how appropriate, it's in The Pool!

Kate and Mary compare their childhood water-based games, ask tough questions about Uncle Stripe's Bali-hopping lifestyle, and demand to know why THE BAG is always Mum's responsibility!

Ever watched so much of a show you need to debrief? We're there - with Bluey!

ABC TV's adorable family of blue heelers is haunting our dreams, and putting our parenting to shame - so we're taking our obsession to the podcast-waves.

PS - We talk Bluey from a parent perspective - but don't panic! We keep it clean so little ears can overhear (and yep, it's definitely a challenge!)
