Somehow Related with Glenn Robbins and Dave O'Neil

Somehow Related with Glenn Robbins and Dave O'Neil

Somehow Related is an Australian comedy podcast where Glenn Robbins and Dave O'Neil are given two seemingly unrelated topics and try to work out how they’re connected. Along the way, they spiral through observational comedy, cultural detours, pointless debates taken seriously, and stories drawn from everyday Australian life — occasionally landing on a conclusion, often not. If you enjoy smart, loose conversations about ordinary things, unexpected logic, and the humour hiding in plain sight, this show will somehow make sense. What is the connection between Nazis and Fanta? Napoleon and Kangaroos? JFK and corsets? They are all Somehow Related. Part of the Nearly Media podcast network. www.nearly.com.au

    Betrayal Season 5

    Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
