The Chaser Report

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.

With house prices continuing to grow across the country, Charles is pretty smug about being a homeowner of over 17 properties (that we know of). However, there's one socialist communist dystopian state with the audacity to try and bring house prices down, so it's time to take a stand.

Having recorded over 1,200 episodes, Charles and Dom finally take a deep dive into the much-requested topic of local council elections in Namibia — thanks to one candidate with an attention-grabbing name: Adolf Hitler. Media have confirmed that he is, in fact, not the same man who led Germany during World War II.

    Are You A Charlotte?

    In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
