A new podcast (only 3 episodes in) by 3 Australians - The Tidy Towns Finalists
"Each week, the Tidy Towns Finalists, Damian Callinan, Andrew McClelland and Angela Thompson answer the big questions. Which now defunct Australian TV show should be back on air? What's the weirdest mixed business? Which is the best of Australia's Big Things? Join these cultural custodians as they chat all things Australiana."

The first episode takes about 30 minutes to really get going, but is pretty funny once they start talking about Bothwell Country Woman's Association cookbook and sausage smell machines
Imagine what a podcast would be like if Hamish and Andy never got radio jobs

Tried 'My dad wrote a porno' as it is supposedly very funny and has even spawned a live stage show.
Reviews should have said 'mildly funny for five minutes'.
Stay well clear if you have an aversion to radio breakfast show types where 3 people talk over each other and laugh at their own jokes.The source material is ripe for picking, it must be said. But having someone simply read the book deadpan would have been much better than the sideline commentaries.

Destroyer of worlds by Dan Carlin was great really enjoyed it , halfway through the Celtic holocaust which so far is equally good.
I paid a couple of bucks to listen to Ghost of the ostfront , I would have happily paid more.I just bought some earmuffs I can hook up to my phone so last week Beth Shapiro explained why you can't clone a mammoth and why trying to exterminate the coyote has actually made them spread from 14 states to 49

TIME Podcast - THE COUNTDOWN
TIME Podcast - It's Your Universe, Hosted by Jeffrey Kluger Hosted by Jeffrey Kluger @jeffreykluger The Countdown [protected-iframe id="d3f603617dd571af0f206174a0593cb2-1359921-40681012" info="https://art19.com/shows/2b823515-37f7-43af-99ce-5a2b1131d38d/embed?theme=dark...
About The Countdown
Space does not wish you well. It has no shortage of ways to kill you, and in the fifty years humans have been flying spacecraft around the Earth and out to the moon, the mortal perils have been evident. But ten of the missions were the most harrowing of all. Some of them ended in tragedy, some ended successfully—but all of them involved astronauts playing for the very highest stakes in the very deadliest place. Countdown tells the tale of those ten missions—some of them American, some Russian —with authentic audio from the spacecraft, the ground and the broadcast booth. Written and narrated by Jeffrey Kluger—author of Apollo 13 and Apollo 8—Countdown recreates the space crises that every astronaut has feared, and that an unlucky handful were forced to live.
