Interview with Pia Miranda

Aussie and the Scotsman talk movies

This week we are delighted to welcome Pia Miranda to the podcast.

Pia is a well known Australian actress, writer and presenter.

Pia kicked off her career in Neighbours, then had her break out role as Josie in Looking for Alibrandi.

Pia played Jodie Spiteri in Wentworth has starred in several short films, was a recurring guest on All Saints, The Secret Life of Us and much more.

She has appeared in Dancing With The Stars, The Masked Singer, loads of chat shows, panel shows and interviews.

Her love of the Survivor series took her onto Survivor-Australia Season 4 in 2019 which she won following a record breaking 6 hour and 40 minute literal stand off in the final challenge and an amazing final tribal council where she dominated and ultimately won half a million dollars.

Pia can currently be seen in Windcatcher as a school teacher and Invisible Boys where she plays Anna, a conservative Italian mother grappling with her son's sexuality - both on Stan.

Pia is down to earth, relatable, funny and a wonderful guest. You can hear more in our podcast and in Pia's 2023 book: Finding My Bella Vita: A story of family, food, fame and working out who you are.

In our podcast we discuss Pia's ambassadorship with Dollys Dream Australia. An programme designed to educate parents and children against bullying and cyber bullying.

We deep dive into the psychology of Survivor and her mindset during the 6 hours and 40minutes of that last challenge, her friendship with Janine Allis, her close encounter with Harvey Weinstein and we witness first hand her disgust when the Aussie tells Pia he hasn't seen the Godfather.
