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.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Dutton, If You're Listening Mar 19, 2025

Show notes

A recent policy announcement from Peter Dutton has made Charles realise that the Opposition Leader might be a podcast listener, so what other influence could we have on them? Meanwhile, if you want to learn something that isn't a half-baked Charles-ism, Dom encourages you to listen to actual interviews of our senior politicians.

Reading Putin's Shopping List Mar 10, 2025

Ground Control To Major Don Mar 09, 2025

Show notes

Dom and Lachlan brainstorm ways to make the podcast more METAL and EXTREME after an marketing strategy inspires them to make boring things seem cool. Meanwhile Donald Trump is making plans to save astronauts stranded in space. Plus Apple Pay went down and it was highly annoying.
