Writing with Worms with Sofija Stefanovic and Liam Pieper
Liam Pieper and Sofija Stefanovic are old friends who went to high school together. They've since both gone on to write moving and funny memoirs about their childhoods. Sofija wrote about being an immigrant kid in Australia during the dissolution of Yugoslavia, while Liam used his teenage experience of selling pot around the suburbs of Melbourne from the back of his pushbike to tell a story of family, addiction and learning how to live with yourself. And now they tackle the quiz together to promote the Melbourne Writers Festival.
Go see Sofija talk with Prize-winning writers Siang Lu (Ghost Cities) and Laura Jean McKay (Gunflower)

DemisFeet.com with Demi Lardner and David Correos
This episode is possibly the most chaotic the podcast has ever been. Demi and David are masters of surfing the absurd and are both very comfortable teetering at the edge of the abyss of improvisation. They are also both very funny people.
See Demi and David in their show at the Sydney Comedy Festival:

Upsetting Internationals with Annie Louey and Mohammed Magdi
Annie Louey and Mohammed Magdi are comedians dating across continents. Annie is Chinese-Australian living in Melbourne. Mohammed is Egyptian but has lived in China for 11 years. Annie is still getting used to learning about her own Chinese culture through an Arab.
They first met on Love Island, aka Hong Kong. Annie returned to Australia with a long-distance relationship, a massive medical bill and 25 minutes of new material.
Meanwhile Mo stayed back in his Bachelor pad, crying into his bubble tea and scheming about how they could see each other again. And so, their comedy festival show was born.

Pink Pink Stink Nice Drink with Zoë Coombs Marr and Tom Walker
Zoë Coombs Marr and Tom Walker are two of the funniest and most creative comedians at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. If this episode of the quiz is anything to go by, there are very few boundaries either of them are too cautious to cross.
This one comes with a bit of a content warning, so if you’ve got little ones listening, you might wanna skip ahead once Tom talks about his show and when he shares his favourite piece of trivia.
