Your weekly guide to pop culture in Australia. Mostly the fun bits. Karl Quinn is an entertainament writer for The Age and Sydney Morning Herald; Andrew Young is a musician, DJ, pedagogue and all-round man-about-town. Together they are The Clappers, and together they present this always-on-the-pulse and frequently hilarious look at culture high and low. If it's happening in film, TV, books, galleries - and let's not forget cycling - there's a 50-50 chance it's happening on The Clappers. Maybe even 60-40. Tune in, turn on, but don't drop out.

Just the best
Love the banter. Keep it going. Must listening.
Irreverent repartee
Fun chat about all sorts of cultural activities , the repartee between the hosts is so witty. Chuckle along with them about Life and The Universe. Has a real Melbourne vibe. Highly recommended
These guys are great!
Enjoyable discussion and banter about many things. Some things for me, some not. It doesn't seem to matter, I enjoy the talk.
