Weekender is a halo of positivity, with a host of stories about stars on the rise coming through the Newcastle city limits.
Myf's in orbit
Myf Warhurst is a hot property right now. ABC TV's Spicks and Specks is returning in 2024 and Warhurst will be back as one of the team captains alongside Adam Hills and Alan Brough. Then there's the Eurovision Song Contest, which she presents with Joel Creasey, and the weekly culture podcast she co-hosts with Zan Rowe called Bang On. Warhurst is also the voice of Aunt Trixie on popular ABC Kids cartoon Bluey.
And, she's coming to Newcastle as part of the cast of The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Easy dining options for Christmas day

What can't denied is the 19-year-old's passion, and authenticity. Read about the creative of Vinyl Vibes on 2NUR and his link to great rock'n'rollers.
On board the Max Express
Newcastle country singer Max Jackson has just been named an ambassador to the Tamworth Country Music Festival. She's on everybody's radar now, as Josh Leeson writes.
