If you’re looking to add a new podcast to your rotation then Instagram’s brand new Off The Handle season could be it.
The video-first podcast series sits down with the most influential people on Instagram and gets to know them both on and off their famous Instagram handles.
Hosted by Rudy Jean Rigg, Off The Handle dives into the unique journeys of Australia’s biggest names and lifts the hood on how they tackle their life and career.
It’s full of everything you’re dying to know plus some things that’ll surely surprise you. “We spend so much time online and on Instagram on the handle, why not go off the handle? Our awesome season one guests get comfy on our couch and get the opportunity to open up and talk about all the things that they don’t share on the handle.” Rudy told Chattr.
“The listener should feel like they’re in the lounge room and together we’re getting to know someone — and they’re listening to a friend who already shares their life on Instagram – sharing their stories and sharing their journey, there needs to be that kind of spirit and that kind of life to it.”
Who will be on Off The Handle
The launch episode sits down with Aussie musician G Flip and will be followed by the likes of social media star Sopha Dopha, our millennial king Tim Collins (100% That Tim), musician Jessica Mauboy, foodies Bridey Jake and Jiny Maeng and Taylor Swift‘s Eras Tour opener Girl In Red.
Each guest is asked to bring along an item they love or hate to help us get to know them better and if Tim doesn’t bring one of his 158 wigs I would like a refund. Just kidding — the man could throw champagne on my face and I’d thank him for it.
The Off The Handle podcast episodes will also rack the creator’s brains and even their DMs to try and get to know the human behind the handle that little bit better.
“It’s sitting down and really getting to know someone and when it comes to sharing the stories and sharing the journeys who already share their lives on Instagram, there needs to be that kind of spirit and that kind of life to it,” Rudy added.
Keen? Same.
The first episode with G Flip is now streaming and you can got your earholes around it wherever you get your podcasts — Spotify, Apple Podcasts and YouTube.
As a little teaser, G Flip will be touching on touring for bands like Tash Sultana and how they’re the role model they wish they had when they were younger.
You can also follow (of course) the Off The Handle Instagram for all the BTS tea in between new episodes of the Off The Handle podcast dropping fortnightly.
