One of the UK’s best satirical brains; Nish Kumar joins Alice Fraser, Lewis Hobba and Dan Ilic (me) for this week’s podcast.
Nish has just finished an 86 date tour of his latest comedy special culminating in a hilarious and energetic show at the Sydney Opera House last week. You may have seen Nish on Taskmaster, The Mash Report and maybe, just maybe on Hello America on Quibi (but probably not). And if you’ve never heard of him — good — he’s on this week’s A Rational Fear podcast, and he’s great!
The topics this week:
🤖 Alexa Loses $10bn a year.💸 The FTX fake money machine is DOA.⚖️ The disproportionate jail sentence given the a climate protestor.

0:00  This podcast is supported in part by Australian ethical. Good evening Lewis.
0:04  Hello Daniel. How are you?
0:05  I'm good. I'm good. I want to say a big shout out to our latest patreon supporters Sylvie longtime fan manga buyer of merchandise has joined us as a $3 month member it looks $3 That's fine. You know, $3 is fine. That'd be pretty good demo. $3 is great. Hey, we'll take it.
0:21  We'll absolutely take it. $3 a month. Think of all the things that could buy you over the year. What are we looking at? $36 Yeah, that's we could buy half of our own t shirt.
0:30  That's true. That's true.
0:32  If you figure out a time machine and travel back to the 1800 That's like a year's salary. Yeah, absolutely.
0:37  That's what working on next Patriot enough
0:39  to make us landed gentry. Finally, the dream of this podcast. Patreon does
0:43  help us pay for things in the show like unexpected things we need to pay for like this professional radio studio we're in tonight because sometimes you got to pay for the good stuff. When you have special guests to we've got a special guest. Getting a radio studio record a podcast is a comedians version of putting up the silverware for a cup of tea. Also big thanks to Australian ethical for supporting the show. I'm recording my irrational fear on Gadigal land in the urination. Sovereignty was never seated, we need a treaty. Let's start the show.
1:11  A rational fear contains naughty words like bricks, Canberra, fed gum and section 40 of a rational view recommended listening by immature audiences.
1:24  Tonight the premier who shut down the train network for a month is glad to see climate protesters locked up for causing 25 minutes of traffic delays and the Prime Minister of Australia has contracted COVID 19. The opposition leader says it's proof that life will be Wheezy under Albanese. And it's only 50 sleeps until Australia Day. So whether you grew here or your fluid here, enjoy the next month of arguing with your relatives and friends about why we should change the date. It's the eighth of December 2022 And this is the only podcast made with entirely artificial intelligence. This is irrational fear.
Welcome to irrational fear. I'm your host, former director of FIFA ethics committee Daniel itch and this is the podcast that stacks up the news on into a pile and covers it with maple syrup. And we have an all star lineup tonight. Let's meet the fear mongers. She's the banjo playing satirical with more podcasts that Scott Morrison has ministries. It's Alex Fraser. Hello, Dan. Hello, Alice. Now I checked on Twitter today
