  • We Know Nothing About Donald Trump & American Politics!
    There’s never a dull moment in the world of Don Trump. We listen back to some of his most unbelievable moments and one of his sauciest TV cameos (feat Liz Hurley). Did you know that at one stage he was allegedly even paying less tax than you? And no, he doesn’t think climate change is a thing. As always, we’ll learn a thing or two – like the difference between the Republican party and the Democrats, what impeachment means and Trump’s promises kept vs promises broken.

  • We Know Nothing about Covid in Melbourne!
    2020 was a year like no other, the Covid pandemic turned our lives upside down and challenged us like never before, especially in Melbourne where it was all about Dan (Dan Andrews or Dan Murphy's - the choice was yours). We try to work out what went wrong (including political decisions, our dependence on rosé and Joe Exotic's potential fashion line) and what went right (which turns out to be Taylor Swift's 'Folklore' album and not much else). We also give Australia's former Health Minister a new name (think "Greek Island party gal" vibes) that we think you'll like.
