Not a Rich Kid - Instagram Myron My on Working-Class Creativity, Theatre Reviewing, and the Cost of Art
Host Kath Dolheguy interviews Melbourne-based creative and theatre reviewer Myron Myi about making creative work possible while needing stable, living-wage employment. Myron describes growing up in Epping with Greek migrant parents who worked in factories, his father’s redundancy, and how limited exposure to the arts and the queer community shaped his early life. He traces a winding path through media studies, teaching in Japan and London, retail and travel work, roles at the Australian Ballet and Arts Centre, and his current full-time events job at Melbourne University, alongside unpaid theatre reviewing via his decade-old site My Melbourne Arts, where he has seen up to 200+ shows a year. They discuss low pay and long hours in arts jobs, barriers for working-class people, tokenistic concessions, pay-what-you-can successes, access to information, and how ticket prices don’t predict quality, with Myron recommending theatre group Hot Lunch.

FOLLOW US: Not a Rich Kid - Instagram Educating Rita: Class, Education, and Finding Yourself
The hosts of Not Rich Kids Discuss review Educating Rita, outlining its origins as Willy Russell’s 1980 play and Lewis Gilbert’s film adaptation starring Michael Caine and Julie Walters. They summarise the story of working-class hairdresser “Rita,” pressured by husband Denny to have a baby, who pursues Open University literature tutorials with the jaded, alcoholic tutor Frank Bryant; her passion renews his purpose as she navigates class anxiety, snobbery, and a sense of being “in between.” They contrast the film’s authentic desire for self-betterment with the Australian film Peterson, discuss Russell’s and Walters’ working-class backgrounds, and praise the film’s warmth, humor, nuanced characterisation, unobtrusive passage of time, and platonic teacher-student bond, while noting some convenient plotting and distracting synth music. All three rate it five stars.

Class Therapy: Working-Class Mental Health, Power, and the Limits of “Therapy Speak”
Kath Dolheguy interviews Nell Ash, a psychotherapist and creator of the Instagram project Class Therapy, which shares accessible, compassionate, class-informed mental health insights. Nell explains how counseling training felt shaped by middle-class sensibilities and “professional neutrality,” and how nearby 2024 race riots involving men she knew underscored that conventional therapeutic frameworks wouldn’t reach many working-class people. They discuss barriers to class-aware therapy, including cost, being read through stigmatising labels, power and surveillance dynamics, and clients spending paid time educating therapists about working-class life. The conversation critiques shallow social-media “therapy speak,” attachment theory, CBT’s individualism, and grift-y relationship/wellness culture, emphasising context, community, grace, and practical tools. Nell’s writing is becoming a toolkit-style book planned for 2027.

Not Rich Kids Discuss Emerald Fennell’s “Wuthering Heights”: A Hate-Watch Review
On Not Rich Kids Discuss, the hosts – Kath Dolheguy, Dr. Alan Woodruff and Dr. Frankie Kanatas review Emerald Fennell’s newly released “Wuthering Heights,” outlining the novel’s basic plot and themes (including class) and contrasting it with Andrea Arnold’s 2011 adaptation. They describe Fennell’s version, starring Margot Robbie as Cathy and Jacob Elordi as Heathcliff, with Hong Chau as Nelly and Shahzad Latif as Edgar, as aesthetically ornate but narratively incoherent, emotionally empty, and driven by provocation, marketing, and TikTok-ready images rather than character motivation or cause-and-effect storytelling. They argue the film removes or flattens class and race elements, criticise the dialogue, soundtrack choices, and “performative” sex scenes and food imagery, note perceived whitewashing of Heathcliff alongside colour-blind casting, and ultimately rate the film a “big fat zero,” predicting it will still make money.

Sasha Wasley on Writing, Class, and The Society of Literary Marauders
Host Kath Dolheguy interviews writer Sasha Walsley on Not a Rich Kid about growing up working class in WA with a single mother, frequent moves and school changes due to rental instability, and finding refuge in libraries; she discusses understanding class, social and cultural capital through university study and teaching. Walsley describes a messy path through multiple degrees before completing a PhD in feminist literature, then shifting from academia to copywriting and finally becoming a published author at 40; she is now a full-time author supported by workshops, mentoring, and other writing work, and speaks candidly about financial insecurity, nepotism, and the pressure of book sales in publishing. They discuss her 20th novel, The Society of Literary Marauders, set at Oxford in 1928, following working-class student Annie and exploring class, empire, banned books, and romance, informed by Walsley’s research trip and lived experience.

Tony Ayers on Surviving Instability, Finding Story, and Building an Australian Screen Career
In this episode of Not a Rich Kid, host Kath Dolheguy sits down with acclaimed writer, director, producer and showrunner Tony Ayres. Arriving in Australia from Macau at age three, Tony grew up in poverty, living in housing commission flats, above fruit shops, and in the back rooms of Chinese restaurants while his mother battled severe mental health challenges. After losing his mother at 12 and his stepfather three years later, Tony experienced homelessness before being taken in by a high school teacher who helped him finish his education.
Driven by imagination and a fierce sense of agency, Tony channelled his early instability into storytelling, first as a survival mechanism, and eventually as a career. Free tertiary education allowed him to attend university and art school, setting him on a path that would lead to some of Australia’s most celebrated screen work, including The Home Song Stories, The Slap, Stateless, and Clickbait.Tony reflects on class mobility, imposter syndrome, the inequities of the screen industry, and the importance of telling stories that broaden Australia’s cultural mosaic. His journey from underclass beginnings to creative leadership,  including co-founding Matchbox Pictures,  is a testament to resilience, craft, and the power of being told, at the right moment, “you can write.”
The episode notes the season is recorded on Wurundjeri land and supported by City of Melbourne Arts Grants, with studio space from the Victorian College of the Arts.

Exploring Class and Comedy in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
In this Christmas-themed episode of Not Rich Kids Discuss, the hosts dive into the cultural and class disparities highlighted during the holiday season.

From Struggling Teen to Parliament: The Journey of Victorian MP Rachel Payne
In this episode of 'Not a Rich Kid,' host Kath Dolheguy engages in a compelling conversation with Victorian MP Rachel Payne of the Legalise Cannabis party. Raised in a working-class family, Rachel left home at 16 and supported herself through high school and university. Despite challenges, she found her path through diverse experiences including working at Centrelink and the Family Court of Australia. Rachel also explored the art of Burlesque, performing professionally under the name ‘Freckles Blue’ in Australia and internationally. Her story highlights the complexity of navigating political and social systems as someone deeply connected to real-world struggles. Rachel shares insights about her journey from enduring systemic challenges to advocating for cannabis legalisation, all while maintaining authenticity in a political landscape often detached from common realities.

Exploring 'Of an Age': A Deep Dive into Class, Romance, and Authenticity
In this episode of 'Not a Rich Kid,' the hosts discuss 'Of an Age,' a film directed by Goran Stolevski and released in 2023.

The discussion highlights the film's authentic portrayal of working-class life, the palpable chemistry between the leads, and the nostalgic yet realistic depiction of suburban Melbourne in 1999. The hosts also emphasize the film's subtle yet powerful storytelling, the soundtrack's role in deepening character connections, and the lack of judgment in the representation of the suburban environment.
