Rats In The Gutter

Today our humble gutter dwellers discuss something they are truly unqualified to hypothesise on - The Economy!

In the season finale of season 2, our hosts put their mis-aligned brain power together to muse on the ever-impending AI takeover. Armed with very little fact-based knowledge and a whole lot of opinions, Sam and Johanna traverse the spectrum from Toyota Caribs to sex swings to the Twitterverse and of course, ask the oft-pondered question - will cyborgs take over our brains? Hosted on Acast. See aca...

When the apocalypse finally arrives the rats and the roaches will be all that’s left to repopulate the proverbial rubble. Or will they?

For the final episode of season one, the pair take a healthy sized leaf out of “That’s Life” magazine and serve up the podcast equivalent of a calorific filibuster. We’re talking trash baby! In the vein of tabloid fodder, our hosts debunk rumors circulating about their own personal lives such as Johanna being a racial fetishiser, or Sam being patient zero for a minor Giardia outbreak circa 2014– b...

In the vein of flogging a dead horse Cosgrove and Te Kani turn to that elusive pot-o-gold—love. Feeling informed rather than deterred by their own misadventures, the pair generously share their insights on hitting your thirties as a single person in a global pandemic (no thanks to Carrie Bradshaw), reconciling optimism with excessive disappointment, non/monogamy and the mostly het-nonsense lure of...

This episode sees our hosts waxing lyrical on their spiritual and physical home amidst New Zealand’s frequently maligned pleasure-strip Karangahape Rd, having resided in and around the place for a combined thirteen years. With a nod to their shared origin working at Cocos Cantina, the pair dispel hysterical mid-lockdown reporting that the CBD had become NYC in the eighties (blatantly untrue), as w...

In this installment Cosgrove and Te Kani apply their intellectual acumen to the oft explored world of the supernatural, discussing all things paranormal and by internet consensus ‘Otherworldly/Ethereal’. Included topics range from ghosts, tarot reading and their own fraught relationship therewith, astrology as a derided or even trivialised ‘femme’ voice, abuses of magic (not excluding spell castin...

Self-aware city girls they may be, Te Kani and Cosgrove fully grasp the importance of their origins - Whangārei and Paraparaumu respectively. In this episode they take a merry waltz down nostalgia lane in what experts might call an inventory of various traumas. Topics include cruising in small towns, performing to prisoners, BOGAN CULTURE, skin-bleach as a perfectly acceptable toilette circa 2006,...

In this introductory episode, Samuel and Johanna explore their many indulgences toeing the line between self-care and self-harm, including (among other things) sex toys, weak white men, drinking as a national sport, smoking, full blown Burger King addiction and clinical inter-dependency.
