4.5 out of 5 stars from 382 ratings
  • Hilarious

    Makes me laugh out loud. Only negative is sometimes I feel they talk over their guest caller who can’t get their story out.

  • Too low effort

    It’s just two random people talking about random things. There are no set topics or segments… no research, preparation or ANYTHING put into the podcast.

    They just show up, switch on the recorder and yammer without structure. And how do they have ads with only one month of episodes??? It’s 100% not worth skipping through ads for.

    There are many great podcasts that a lot of work goes into (Timesuck, Small Town Murder, Against the Odds, …) and they deserve 5 stars.

  • Truly a highlight of my week!

    If I had a nickel for every time Alice learned how to make a “citizens arrest” on a podcast, I’d only have 2 nickels… but it’s weird that it happened twice… Alice & Greg are hilarious, love the bants, love the friendship bullying, love the survey!

  • TOO funny

    This is one of, if not the funniest podcast I’ve listened too. (Occasionally I also pop the video version on). I laugh like a hysterical, crazed person on the verge of tears, in my car, in public: no place is safe. It’s a risky business.

    Despite being an Aussie I listen almost exclusively to British podcasts and the humour in this one lands fabulously. I also like No such thing as a fish, Sexted, My Dad Wrote a Porno, Infinite monkey cage…

    So if you like those shows, give this one a go.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bad Chat

What is Bad Chat about and what kind of topics does it cover?

A buoyant, irreverent banter show centered on the week's trivial drama, audience interactions, and ongoing in-jokes between two hosts.
