In Joke

In this latest podcast about a podcast, our connoissuer of conversations, Corey, reviews a classic Australian podcast, Letters to the Greenguide. Check. It. Out. 

In Joke - we're serious about comedy

Not to be confused with the West Coast Eagles player, Ben Cousins (a mistake we've made before). Listen to our interview with excalaimed actor and director, Bret Cousins, as he tells us about a grim new comedy on at Red Stitch - You Got Older

It's not the worst idea of all time, The Worst Idea of All Time

In Joke - we're serious about comedy 

This week's episode of In Joke seemed to be very chatty. We chatted about Tommy Little, we chatted about things comedians hate, we chatted about how to do politics in comedy, we chatted about the start of the Edinburgh Fringe, and we chatted about the gig guide. It was more chatty than a conversation between two chat potatoes.

Our online expert Corey is back with another acclaimed Podcast review! Listen to it hear; I know the appropriate noun would be 'here', but seeing as we're talking about hearing something I thought the other form of 'hear' would be more appropriate, thus eliciting humour by constructing a pun around the different spellings. Never mind.

Boy, that's worrying - this episode of In Joke, featuring an interview with Shakespeare improv group, Soothplayers; a Classic Comedy Corner look at The Simpsons, and a discussion about comedy in gaming is one of the most sophisticated shows to date. Indeed, I think this is the first time the word 'sophisticated' has been put in the same sentence as 'In Joke'...

What do Leonardo Da Vinci, Richard Stubbs, Florence Nightingale and King Sejong of 15th Century Korea have in common? They were all great people. Indeed, Richard Stubbs may be the greatest out of all of them, as he was the only one to appear on In Joke last Sunday - an interview you can hear via the link below.

Why is that every time we go to talk to the director of a comedic play, we end up talking about 80-kilogram metaphysical gorillas!? Bloody typical. Here's our interview with Dennis Moore. Trevor will be running at Red Stitch Theatre, and is playing from July 26th - August 26th. See Red Stitch website for details.

It is difficult to laugh about the footy this year, isn't it? Unless you barrack for Sydney or Hawthorn I suppose, but then again, most of their supporters aren't smart enough to understand humour anyway. Oh well. Here's Corey's latest review of a podcast about footy - Junktime AFL
