BEST OF: Ratbag Mel and Sam

Australia’s most exciting queer comedy duo: Mel & Sam host their new podcast: RATBAG. Join them as these besties and also quasi-reformed-theatre-kids host weekly episodes every Monday and Thursday. With everything from unpacking conspiracies, to riffing on their always-open-always-caring-about-you hotline, it’s vital this podcast is in your weekly listening rotation. In this pod, Mel & Sam bring the late-night-kick-ons chats to you but rather than it being 3am and you’re wedged between two randoms with an eyelash cascading down your face, you’re listening whenever you want… so go for that “walk”, buy that overpriced matcha latte and get it in your ear holes you RATBAGS.

Aunty Donna Want To Build A Theme Park

"Oh heeeeeeey there. Yeah. Nah. Yeah. THIS. is a big one boys. Why? We have THE Aunty Donna joining us on the pod today. We know Aunty Donna need no introduction but if you haven't had the pleasure and JOY of seeing them live, or watching them on your screens, then you are in for an absolute treat. Mark, Zack and Broden are the beating heart of perfectly silly Australian comedy and today's episode is super-charged with chats all about worst gigs, Andrew Lloyd Webber, MCC Memberships, Edinburgh Fringe and theme parks. There's a ludicrous improv surrounding an influencer, a child star and a batman fan at a bus stop that no one needs but we give you anyway. The boys then also do a freaky-friday swap with us, and do our 'Hit It Toots!' for us. Do NOT listen to this with kids around. We are still pinching ourselves this episode happened, we can't lie. We hope you love it as much as we do. See you on Thursday for 'Ratfood!' Love you! Mel & Sam xx
