The Short King of the Physie Floor - Episode 12

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2557370/fan_mail/new] This week on That Physical Culture Podcast, Renee is flying solo while Jussy lives her best holiday life in the US, and honestly… it's rone-ry! There’s a strange energy in the studio without her emotional support co-host, but the show must go on. Renee talks through her latest “Physie Anywhere” photos, as well as the late-onset online banter with the BJP Powers-That-Be. Then, in news that has sent Renee into a full-blown journalistic conniption, she reveals she’s made contact with none other than THE Lisa Wilkinson. Yes, that Lisa Wilkinson. Australian media royalty. Poise. Presentation. Power suits. The woman who basically raised half of us through breakfast television. To celebrate, the girls are launching a little Physie Book Club and reading Wilkinson’s incredible book, The Titantic Story of Evelyn [https://www.amazon.com.au/Titanic-Story-Evelyn-Lisa-Wilkinson/dp/0733653987], which took Wilkinson three years to complete. Then we move into the main event: our chat with Jake from Bangor Georges River Physie in EP Physie. Or as we now know him, The Short King of the Physie Floor. At just 12 years old, Jake is one of the very few boys doing physie in Australia, and honestly? He’s an absolute superstar. We chat about how he got started, what it’s like being a boy in a traditionally female sport, the support he’s received from his club and community, and his incredible success so far. Jake is funny, humble, determined and completely loveable, and by the end of the episode we had collectively decided he must be protected at all costs.

Physie hacks and an AM with EP - Episode 11

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2557370/fan_mail/new] This week on That Physical Culture Podcast, the girls step into unfamiliar territory after being invited along to the very first intensive training session of the season with Tuggerah Lakes Edith Parsons Physie. And let’s just say… it was an eye opener. From the structure and training style to the intensity of the routines, Renee and Justine unpack the experience of seeing an EP Physie intensive up close and share their honest thoughts on what surprised them, what impressed them, and what left them quietly questioning their own fitness levels. There are sore muscles. There are observations. There is respect. And there’s the realisation that physie girls across every code are truly built different. Then in the second half of the episode, we talk through the hacks that were sent in by physie community. And honestly? The fam delivered. From fake tan survival tips and safety pin strategies to performance wear fixes, hair hacks, emergency comp kit essentials and those oddly specific tricks only physie people understand, this episode is packed with the kind of elite insider knowledge that deserves to be passed down through generations. Some hacks are genius. Some are mildly concerning. All are deeply physie. If you’ve ever glued yourself into performance wear, panic-bought hairspray the night before a comp, or balanced a sausage sandwich and a spray tan at 7am, this one’s for you.

Introducing Stevo The Seagull - Episode 10

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2557370/fan_mail/new] This week on That Physical Culture Podcast, the girls are back with a full life and physie update… and things are, as always, slightly unhinged. We kick things off with an injury update on Justine’s sprained kneecap — yes, apparently that’s a thing — and where she’s at with recovery (physically, emotionally, spiritually… all of it). From there, we dive into some family developments, with Justine’s sister officially joining physie this year. A wholesome moment… slightly overshadowed by the fact that their mum has raised concerns about the language being thrown around and is now lobbying for a swear jar to be introduced. Honestly? Fair. We also meet the newest and arguably most important member of the podcast: Stevo the Judgey Seagull. He’s observant. He’s critical. He’s seen things. And he will be weighing in accordingly. To round things out, the girls chat all things BJP National Finals, what’s coming up, what to watch for, and what listeners can expect in the next couple of episodes as we head into a very big part of the physie calendar. Injury updates, family chaos, unsolicited feedback from seagulls and a touch of Nationals hype. Standard.

Let's get technical, technical - Episode 9

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2557370/fan_mail/new] This fortnight on That Physical Culture Podcast, the girls sit down with the incredibly talented Ash Mensforth [chatgpt://generic-entity?number=0], founder and creator of Avant Garde Method [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJG75cxQQylmmQruCHWpQMg]. Ash brings a wealth of experience from her career as a professional dancer, and this conversation is packed with insight for anyone serious about improving their physie technique. We dive into the big topics every physie girl thinks about (and occasionally stresses about): turnout, leg lifts, strength, control… and how to actually train your body to support what you’re asking it to do. Ash breaks down the mechanics behind movement in a way that makes sense, while also addressing one of the most important (and often overlooked) areas of physie — injury prevention. Because pushing your body is one thing… keeping it functioning is another. We also chat through Ash’s journey as a professional dancer, what she’s learnt along the way, and how those experiences have shaped the way she now teaches and supports dancers through the Avant Garde Method. It’s equal parts education, inspiration, and a gentle reality check on how we’re all treating our bodies. If you’ve ever: questioned your turnout, forced a leg lift that had no business being that high, or ignored a niggle hoping it would magically disappear… This episode is for you.

The "Get Up": Performance Wear - Episode 8

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2557370/fan_mail/new] This week on That Physical Culture Podcast, the girls dive headfirst into one of Renee’s all-time favourite topics: Performance wear. And not just a polite little chat. This is a full exploration of physie fashion past, present and a hopeful future (holograms and mesh, please and thank you). We take a walk down memory lane, unpacking how performance wear has evolved over time — from the leotards of days gone by to the very specific rules we’re working with today. We cover it all: The Modesty Skirt at Edith Parsons, the iconic strut tights at BJP, and the rumoured, yet-to-be-released blinging tank top that’s got the girls talking. Naturally, we also get into the controversies. Yes, we’re talking about the Danz Design ban (boo, hiss), and the ever-growing list of performance wear rules… including a strong stance on mesh over crop tops (we said what we said). Equal parts fashion commentary, physie history and completely unhinged chat, this episode is your guilty pleasure listen for the week. Come for the outfits. Stay for the opinions.
