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.

Show notes

BEST OF: Craig Reucassel & Ketan Joshi - Craig directed a movie! He’s here to tell us about The Big Deal, a doco that looks at how money influences our political system. The results of all this influence-buying can be seen in today’s other conversation, where climate specialist Ketan Joshi talks us through the landmark IPCC Report on climate change – what’s in those 3,900 pages, anyway? And can we do anything stop a climate catastrophe?

BEST OF: Wil Anderson Dec 28, 2021

Show notes

BEST OF: Wil Anderson - At the start of the millennium The Chaser team met with one of Australia’s best standup comedians to explore the prospect of working together. Which, in hindsight, would have been a great idea – at least for us. It did not go well. 20 years later, Charles and Dom talk it over with Wil Anderson – and discover why nothing excites him more than a standup show with no plan.

A Very Intern Christmas Dec 24, 2021

Show notes

Christmas is a happy time for lots of people, but not everyone. So this year why not spend 15 minutes to think of those less fortunate than yourself: The Chaser Interns. Forced to work over the holidays, your favourite Interns have banded together to celebrate Christmas with each other and with you. Gifts, stories, and soft serves await. Merry Christmas from The Interns! (This episode does not have the support of Charles or Dom, and stepping out of line in such a manner will ultimately end in the Intern's termination.)
