The creators of the feminist noir comedy Deadloch, Kate McCartney and Kate McLennan, join Pop Queers for our last episode of the year!

Described as Broadchurch but funny, and set it Tasmania, Deadloch is the whodunit of the season. The Kates join us ahead of the much-anticipated finale which arrives tomorrow! Deadloch is streaming now on Prime Video.

Be sure to also check out the Kates’ 2021 Antarctic comedy podcast, Slushy, where an underqualified research assistant joins the much-lauded Bennett Station Adelie Penguin Program for the Summer season.
