Are you sick of news you can trust? For over 200 years, The Chaser has been the world's leading source of news you can't trust.

The Chaser Report offers a satirical look at Australian and world news and culture, along with occasional confessions of parenting and business failures, the latter often involving an amusingly large number of unsold avocado pool toys.

  • White Male Mediocrity At Its Finest

    Recommended if you enjoy Australian ASMR: just the right balance of snark and swearing. Always more listenable when there are women and even more rarely, BIPOC guests on the show but overall quite suitable for ADHDers who need a soundtrack for erratic bursts of household chores and errand-running. Perhaps Amanda and Verity should co-host one of these days.

    Charles’ uncritical fawning over AI reaches its nadir with a verbatim reading of his bot’s insipid Angus Taylor material.
