Ever wanted to know what really goes on behind the curtain at Adelaide Fringe? Then Fringe Benefits is the podcast for you.
South Australia’s only independent podcast dedicated entirely to the Adelaide Fringe is back with a bang for its fourth season, launching on Friday 13 February via Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
Hosted by Emma Dignon, a marketing, communications, PR and media professional, Fringe Benefits is the only way for fellow Fringe lovers to catch up on everything happening at Adelaide Fringe, with the podcast featuring show reviews, interviews, recommendations, behind-the-scenes goss and much more.
Dignon has stepped things up for Season 4, enlisting Joel Daniell, a Film and Television graduate from UniSA who has worked at the Adelaide Fringe and the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, as the show’s official producer.
Fringe Benefits has also scored official Adelaide Fringe Media Accreditation, giving the podcast more authority and enabling Dignon the opportunity to build and strengthen relationships with artists and venues.

“Fringe Benefits started as a passion project and a love letter to the festival,” said host Emma Dignon. “Season 4 feels like a real step forward. We’re accredited, more intentional than ever, and still proudly independent. The podcast is about shining a light on artists, shows and venues audiences might not otherwise discover, and helping people experience Fringe a little more deeply.”
Producer Joel Daniell said joining the podcast felt like a natural evolution. “The show already had a strong voice and genuine connection to the festival. Bringing a production lens to it allows us to expand what we do behind the scenes and better support the artists and venues that make Fringe what it is.”
Fringe Benefits drops every Friday throughout Adelaide Fringe via Spotify and Apple Podcast. For updates, follow @fringebenefitspodcast and host @theiconicblonde on Instagram.
