Today we welcome Australian comedian Nick Schuller to the podcast for a chat about his dislike of social media, the genius of Stewart Lee and Nathan Fielder, Moving to London in March 2020 and giving away free bottles of wine at The Melbourne Comedy Festival. We also discuss the UK's fascination with Neighbours, why low quality films are being churned out at the same time as top tier television, and why SAS Australia's premiere was slightly misjudged.

Today we welcome Korean-Australian comedian Harry Jun to the podcast to chat about the Scottish obsession with deep fat frying and why he'd love to be a contestant on Masterchef. We also discuss Gen Z's appropriation of our childhood treasures via the rise of retro cool, the bizarre Australian Kids TV Show 'Round the Twist' and why some Americans speak funny, whereby Harry introduces me to the phrase vocal fry. Harry then explains why most Australian comedians tend to know each other and why practical effects in film and TV create an emotional connection that CGI can't compete with.

I should add that when Harry asks if Rob Lowe was in Parks and Rec? I reply 'I don't think so' which is of course wrong. How could I forget?

Today we welcome Comedian and Cartoonist Paul Savage to the podcast for a chat about the ever changing life cycle of a comedy set, why putting too much pressure on an opening joke can ruin an act, and why comedians today might need to keep their day jobs. We discuss why actors and footballers aged differently in the '80s, how it was impossible to find a stumbled upon TV show after the fact before the internet, and why '90s sitcoms put so much emphasis on getting your shit together at an early age. This episode was recorded during the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August 2024, where Paul kept mislaying his stapler!

Today on Television Times Comedian and Broadcaster Mark Dolan drops in for a long overdue chat, and yes we do talk briefly about his rather left field move into the choppy waters of political discourse, but mostly it's a chat about trendy glasses, crusty rolls and how 'Minder' was once filmed in his dad's pub. Mark explains how he tries to find life hacks wherever possible and how he dreams of opening a chain of cafes that sell three types of stew. We also discuss the joys of a cash and carry, Trump's unexpected election win, and how Mark once attempted a terrifying ski jump on Channel 4's 'The Jump' without being able to see a thing.

Today we welcome U.S. comedian and actor Gary John Miller to the podcast for a chilled out chat about a variety of subjects including why Colorado has become synonymous with True Crime, how TV can influence food cravings, and why so many American films end with a kiss or marriage sequence. Gary also explains why he likes to eat as the locals do whilst travelling, why 'Paris Syndrome' is a thing, and how he inadvertently started watching South Park aged just six.

It's Halloween, and who better to chat to than Danny Robins, the man behind the incredibly successful podcast & BBC TV show 'Uncanny'. Find out why Danny was interviewed by The Guardian as Basil Brush, which unsettling film influenced his trademark look, and how he made the jump from comedy to the paranormal. As a bonus to this Halloween episode you will also hear myself and the hilarious Clinton Baptiste talking about theatre ghosts backstage at The Tyne Theatre earlier this year, as well as an excerpt from my Edinburgh Show 'Steve Otis Gunn is Uncomfortable' where I regale the audience with my very own spooky story.

Today we welcome comedian and author Ian Stone to the podcast. Ian explains how he deals with divisive issues onstage and why world events have unfortunately allowed previous routines to once again become relevant. He shares his love for Billy Connolly, especially on Parkinson, and breaks down the brilliance of Ronnie Barker's comic delivery in the TV show 'Porridge'. Although Ian is very much into his music, we find out how he really felt whilst appearing on 'Never Mind The Buzzcocks'. We also chat about the slog of writing books, TV appearances versus live performance, and how Ian once co-wrote a filthy sketch for the cast of children's TV show 'Rainbow'.
