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.

House Mating | Vic Zerbst | Tom Cardy Aug 04, 2021

The Upbeat Episode | Dave Smith Aug 02, 2021

Show notes

In response to listener feedback, we nobly make the best of everything for once.

Assoc Prof Dave Smith from the US Study Centre at the University of Sydney joins us. Plus, after Sky News' YouTube channel is suspended, Charles helpfully explains some ancient technology from his youth to Gabbi.

No More Lockdowns Anywhere! (Except Sydney) | Dave Milner Jul 27, 2021

Plus Zander goes to the Olympics and Aleksa heads down to Melbourne – disguised as a removalist – to cover the moment Victorians regained their liberty. We also cross to the voice of Melbourne, Dave Milner of The Shot, to taste the vibe of freedom.
