Earwash

Who else could we have on episode 69 than eroticist Jonathan Crepuscular? Fresh from the opening night of his new musical, Jonathan tells us how he has overcome the struggles he faced in staging his bold re-imagining of 'Cats', his unorthodox methods of gaining publicity, and reveals which US political figure he is planning to write a musical about. Plus three grandiose genital euphemisms.

Earwash's coverage of the 2024 Insect Games concludes today with an interview with the Australian Insect Games team's unofficial mascot and bringer of good vibes, the Earwig. Acting on legal advice, Earwash wishes to make it clear that this podcast is NOT in any way seeking to suggest, imply or otherwise convey that the Earwig has been involved in an elaborate plot to kill insect athletes, take their medals and melt those medals down for use in his sinister plots, and anyone who says that is the case is lying and is likely to wake up with an angry Earwig using its pincers on a delicate part of their anatomy. Okay?

In today's episode Douglas and French omni-critic Horace Perrault discuss the memorable moments of the 2024 Insect Games, including a centipede called Legless Carl Thresher, ironic snail deaths and the Anteater Incident

In a tight little capsule of an episode, Douglas discloses the strange oddments contained in one of his notebooks. That's it, that's the entire thing, and yet it is so much more than this blurb would suggest. Listen and hear it for yourself

This week, we hear from Douglas's American neighbour Jennifer. Why is she boycotting a major hardware chain? What is the most anti-woke meat? Does kosher salt really make things kosher? Some of these questions will be answered in this week's earwashing.

Douglas has spent the last month in Ballarat, and it's starting to get to him. Fortunately he has omnicritic Horace Perrault to assist him in assessing exactly what is the biggest problem with where he is staying. Is it the light that will not turn off? Is it the grime in the bathroom? Or is it the unsettling thing Douglas found in the carpet? Listen, and find out for yourselves about the apartment that is the best place to have an existential crisis in Ballarat.
