Olympic comedy ,

Very informative for comedy writers

Have really enjoyed this podcast since discovering it. It doesn't always rely on having a great guest to be incredibly informative and entertaining. All of the advice can be applied to the Australian/New Zealand comedy scene, of which I belong. Keep up the great work!

Wannabe sitcom writers must listen to this

Brilliant stuff. I love how practical these podcasts are, speaking in layman's terms from some talented writers.
