The Red Menace

This week we talk about the number you dial to get weed, a bad video about dogs, a ‘Logistics and Agribusiness Hub’, time-travelling cow murderers, bionic sex, a cursed goat, the Freemasons taking over the countryside, and Australia’s best ‘big thing’. It’s a jam-packed episode, since the local news gods have blessed us. Enjoy!

This week we talk about a malicious, criminal pooper, the spinny space tree, Tim Minchin's suspicious ticket sales, "begpacking", street art made of garbage, the most overrated tourist attractions, and whether the Newcastle city council manager feels like a big boy. Fair warning, we spend most of the tourist attractions bit talking in accents that make us sound like we're from Gossip Girl, so we apologise for that... 

This week's topics include an update on the bird conspiracy, toilet sitting techniques, pretzel mac and cheese, accidentally ending the world, the sexiest speeding fine, a man not fit to sell real estate, and a genuinely heartwarming tale about a boy and his teddy. It's a wild one that goes to a lot of different places, and we hope you like it!

This week we talk about getting plagiarized, negging ads, mammoth snakes, Bob Katter's crocodie duel, unpopular buses, The Maze Runner for some reason, a friendly robbery, and super-chill skydivers. Somehow all of these started with news stories. Honestly it's getting a little ridiculous.

This week we discuss illegal garbage sorting, prepping for the avocado doomsday, our best friend Kendrick Lamar, 'losing' your wife, very smelly cows, aerial beverages, some very suspicious fires, and the daddy heirarchy of darts. This episode is jam packed full of a lot of ridiculous stuff, and we hope you enjoy it!

Apologies for the slight echo on the audio this week; TPG screwed us and we had to change our recording setting at short notice. We will be back up to our usual standard next week.

In this week's episode we talk about a very special baby, the worst carry-on luggage ever, an impossible heist, farmer discrimination, and then we spend the rest of the show constructing a needlessly elaborate conspiracy theory about celebrity birds being murdered by an international corporation. Take from that what you will. Some will say we're paranoid. Some will say we've crossed a line. However, some - those really in the know - will say we've cracked this damned case wide open!

This episode got a little bit wild everybody... We were both kinda sick whilst recording and now you can enjoy that literally feverish energy! We talk about burning a racist monument, long-distance farm friends, the human mating season, an aquatic heist, the Jeep NRA, new-media council meetings, and the fact that Yass is the best town in Australia. Enjoy! And Mum, I'm sorry for all the nasty words.

The Red Menace is a comedy news podcast, where we talk about all the weird and fun local news stories we can find. This week, we discuss night-vision goggles, the Grey Mardi Gras (don't ask), the biggest new sport, possum roommates, and spontaneous telemarketer death. It's a wild ride full of hijinks, goofs, and also a lot of swearing for which I apologise. Enjoy!

We did a few trial recordings before actually managing to make a fully publishable episode of The Red Menace, but we figured we should make this Frankenstein bonus episode out of the off-cuts from those recordings, since we think they were actually pretty funny. So here it is, a bonus episode about ghost whales, dog poo terrorists, the most boring sporting competition ever, a portrait conspiracy, and Thor murdering cows. We were still learning during these recordings, so there may be a few microphone bumps, for which we apologise. Enjoy!

The Red Menace is a comedy news podcast, where we talk about all the weird and fun local news stories we can find. In our first episode, we discuss surprise phone towers, STEM ice cream, taking your kids to the tip, a holiday to China, and one very scary spider. It's a real roller coaster.
