So good

Loving Dom and Charles. So funny. Biggest GRINNZ to the Chaser Boys.

God Tier

Sami Shah is unequivocally one of the greatest minds you will ever have the honour of listening to. You may be alive too late to explore the world and too soon to explore the cosmos, but you exist at the perfect time to enjoy News Weakly.

Love the Chaser

The Chaser is amazing, always average to sometimes good quality content 🙌
