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.

Charles and Dom whip out their Temu-grade analysis of Albanese's recent diss on Temu-Abbott, which highlights the PM's disconnect from the average punter who actually uses Temu. However, this all begs the question: who actually is Australia's most Te... more

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

    That’s me done.

  • Not enough available stars

    I have listened since the beginning with the knowledge that you asking us to rate and review the podcast won’t stop now that I have.

    I listen mainly because listening to Charles rant and get angry is usually for a justified reason. And even though I listen to only these two white men. I guess I will hang around

  • 700 trillion 😳😱🙄

    I’m on to you, lesser of the two siblings, Charles. You plan to put $1 into an interest bearing account and you will tell us to come back in 100,000 years to collect our winnings.

    Well I deserve that dollar because I’ve watched at least 3 episodes and given you 5 stars. I doubt anyone has sucked up to you more than me. 🧐

    “Why has it taken me 50 years to figure this out”. Because you’re not very smart Charles? 🤷‍♀️👍🏻
