Somehow Related is an Australian comedy podcast where Glenn Robbins and Dave O'Neil are given two seemingly unrelated topics and try to work out how they’re connected.

Along the way, they spiral through observational comedy, cultural detours, pointless debates taken seriously, and stories drawn from everyday Australian life — occasionally landing on a conclusion, often not.

  • Showed so much potential

    Clutching at Straws with 3 vegetarians, could add 1000s of names to that list, seems topics are getting slim. Not worth venturing into the subscription if that’s the best they can do 😔

  • Great podcast!

    I grew up watching Kath and Kim and have been listening to this podcast every night before bed and never get sick of it! I also just heard on one episode that you don’t think you have many mid-age fans (around 20’s). I’m 28 and have been listening to you since I was 24 so there’s a 20-something for you!

    Thank you guys for an awesome podcast!
