Rats In The Gutter episodes

March 07, 2024 KWISATZ HADERACH
Body dysmorphia is as strong a theme this week as it’s ever been. Dune Part Two looms like a mammoth cultural moment. Fifties housewives dropping tapeworms into their own eyes as a desperate form of weight management seem smarter than most in light of Ozempic and traditional anorexias. Fake twink Timothee Chalamet and his slender boy-wife Zendaya do nothing for the rats' self image.

March 02, 2024 FUSCHIA SPACE DEBRIS
In a fugue state of rap beefs and genocides the rats try and cohere a week of internet, in brief. Notably featuring kosher cocktails, Hamas-friendly aperitifs, the American Mong, gluten-free blood flour, and screaming.

February 21, 2024 CARNIE CONVENTION w/ Eli Matthewson
This week, the rats invite comedian and fellow carnie/attention whore Eli Matthewson in. They exchange stories of willful self exposures, humiliations, and the dangers of not having a side hustle outside improv comedy (a slippery slope tbh).

February 11, 2024 ROLL THE DICE
This week in stinking hot Tāmaki, our rats are more delusional than you thought humanly possible! Sam and Johanna dissect various social and personal quandaries (thigh friction, peddling tickets to international comedy festivals and a succinct definition of the NZ political climate) all for your listening pleasure.

February 02, 2024 BACK OFF FATTY
The horrors persist but so do we. This week, the rats wax on about the survivalism of nature’s reviled critters, pariahs such as cockroaches, wasps, and the extremely unhappy dog next door. Also, Hannah Arendt and the particular body horror of a rat girl summer.

January 27, 2024 UNDER ATTACK
Samuel and Johanna are still deep in the northland wilderness which has done wonders for their sense of reality (or lack thereof!)
Tune in to this episode completely devoid of facts but filled with delusional musings on periods, dead flies and the dangers of rugby.

January 21, 2024 BUSH PIGS
The rats have gone bush to work on themselves. Critical distance from their natural city habitus gives pause for introspection, a reserve of intellectual acumen used to speak eloquently on various hard hitting topics; such as political scandals, body horror, Rena Owen, and the absurdity of luxury brands.

January 10, 2024 THE FLY LIST ETC

December 12, 2023 BOKASHI HELL
The rats feel the strain of December when New Zealanders prepare to enter a summer free for all of seasonal binge drinking. How will boycotting McDonald’s affect their drunken 3am binges? Do conversations with your exes in a nightmare count as IRL reconciliations? Can my therapist even tell the difference if I can’t? And just who is it stinking up the gym with their bowel cancer?
