Dimity Esber Interviews - The Podcast (2020)
The Dimity Esber Interviews are insights to the career and life of the great up-and-coming misguided Australian superstar you've never heard of. She likes the finer things in life, particularly biodynamic juices and caviar, and believes that make-up artists work harder if they're from 'developing countries.' She also believes that great artists become better artists when they do adverts.
Vogue says she's so hip she could have hipatitis.
Demitra plays socialite 'Dimity Esber' for the production.
