The Chaser Report — Comedy
The Chaser Report

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.

The show is hosted each day by two of the satirical comedy group’s co-founders, Charles Firth and Dom Knight, along with occasional cameos from more talented, less available Chaser colleagues.

From out of nowhere, the US, UK, and – surprisingly – Australia announced a new security alignment that would, among other things, bring nuclear submarines to the Royal Australian Navy. Why this sudden, secret announcement, and who is it good for, us or the US?

EXTRA: John Safran's Puff Piece Sep 10, 2021

Show notes

When is a cigarette not a cigarette? John Safran tells Charles and Dom about his latest book 'Puff Piece',, which looks at the clever language and new products that the cigarette-making behemoth Philip Morris is adopting to try and retain its profits while also convincing its global audience of smokers to give up their ciggies – but potentially replace them with another product where instead of smoking tobacco, you... heat it. In typical fashion, the story's funny, circuitous and thought-provoking – and involves multiple visits to Father Bob.
