    Recent ep with Alex Hines;

    Must be unfortunate for her that Aunty Donna already monopolised the Australian production house distribution market for “weird” comedy, but wildly ironic take to say “Australia, like, grow up”, but also wondering why “silly comedy” is “dying out”.. Did people grow up? Rove Live was silly (and then barely anyone watched the rebooted Saturday Night Rove pilot, sadly..), Taskmaster is silly, Thank God You’re Here is silly… 🤷🏼‍♂️

    Maybe I’m just kind of “put off” by Alex... more

    Chloe Petts ep;

    Maybe I’m late to this, but I thought there was already an out gay mens AFL player?

    I’d thought well before, but at least 2023, player in the Sydney Swans?

    Then there’s trans woman coach (Danielle Laidley, I won’t deadname her) for AFLW who was a former AFL player for West Coast Eagles and North Melbourne (a premiership winner in 1996!)…

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Kate Dehnert
Q: How did the breakup and move influence your creative work and the show you developed?
The breakup and life upheaval became the core experience I wanted to translate into a show; I wrote it after healing, using journals and personal material to craft characters, music, and soundscapes that reflect that period.
Kate Dehnert
Q: What did the BBC Writers' Bursary entail for you, and how did it shape your career?
It was a year-long opportunity to shadow producers, write on various BBC Radio Four and BBC Sounds projects, and learn the machinery of professional writing in the UK, which provided a huge education and network.
Lauren Bonner
Q: How did you come to comedy start?
Growing up watching panel shows like Spicks and Specks sparked the realization that this could be a practical path, with stand-up offering a doorway into the broader creative world.
Lauren Bonner
Q: What do you tell people you do?
I'm a comedian, writer, voiceover artist, and actor, and I've balanced creative work with a day job that funds the art while not letting money define it.
Lauren Bonner
Q: So where do you want to start with the burners, career or another one?
We started with career, noting it as the big one and discussing how it often competes with health and family, especially in a comedy career.
