Critical Banter

Successful negotiations between Australia and Mexico sees Rohit triumphantly return to join the holy foursome of Critical Banter. This week, desperate first years and defeated fifth years alike descend on Universities across Australia, gearing up for another year of late night cramming, stress-fueled benders and group project shenanigans. Unfortunately for first year students, it won’t be long unt...

Due to controversial comments made on last week’s episode regarding Mexicans, Rohit has been sent to North America on a diplomatic mission to fix Australia-Mexico relations. As such, this weeks episode only features Miguel, Sen and Kush as the boys once again revamp the episode format, in a way that can only be described as radical. In this new format, the traditional reach around is now only conf...

The return of Sen marks an unbelievable time for The Critical Banter Podcast - as the boys are back together after six months of gallivanting. To mark this momentous occasion, Sen tells us how to insult old women in Italian, Miguel actually has stories of international nightlife, and Rohit almost becomes a smuggler for the cartel. This week marks the introduction of TWO new segments (a Critical Ba...

Sen is still MIA, but this week, we see the return of TCB's prodigal son: Miguel. Back from a long trip of academic gallivanting, Miguel literally has zero tales to tell. Rohit forgets how to operate a game, the long lost points tally remains in the Bermuda Triangle, and we introduce a new segment. Also this week: plagiarism is okay, Sen's fetish for yellow snow, a whole lot of gloves, cold shower...

Sen has disappeared, Miguel still loose in another country - another typical week for the boys. We're left with Rohit and Kush for a potentially intimate duo episode, but this week, we introduce our first and last Russian guest: Dimitri Anatoli (and his family). They discuss Russian politics, Vladimir Vysotsky, the Soviet National Anthem, and snakes under a toilet. Also this week: Russian conspira...

What do Rohit and Coronavirus have in common? They’re both annoying, Asian diseases, who have both recently reached Australian shores. To celebrate Rohit’s triumphant return from his Contiki through Cuba, we invite Kushagra’s brother, Kartik, onto the show to discuss all things Coronavirus. We also experience more early year rust, as the boys forget how their own game works, Rohit can’t count past...

With half the members of Critical Banter missing, we welcome back our first return guest: Glade. Not having recorded for a number of weeks, the boys are back for 2020 with a bit of rust, literally forgetting how their own podcast works. A substantial amount of WD-40 will be needed to get them back in shape. This weeks episode is also heavily movie themed, including 2 semi-serious reviews of Oscar...

Unlike the Oscars, here at Critical Banter, we honour women of colour and this week’s guest, Maneesha, is no different. Now that the pandering is out of the way Maneesha, like many of our guests, is an aspiring lawyer and is therefore morally corrupt and dishonest. This weeks episode takes us to many strange, perverse and new places - featuring discussions about prostitution, necrophilia and rapin...

It's 2020, a new year, a new opportunity, a new time to shine, and that means Critical Banter is of course, exactly the same. Joining the boys as they reminiscence over the year 2019 is Rohit's brother: Nikhil. He provides us with ample ammunition to humiliate and embarrass Rohit, leading to what only can be described as a classic brotherly feud. Also this week: Greta Thunberg, Area 51 Raid, Spray...

It’s the most wonderful time of the year and the boys are full of festive cheer. Joining the boys for this Christmas extravaganza, and to celebrate Jesus’s birthday, is a token white man; Matt. He provides us with some much needed diversity as he describes, in great detail, his family’s Christmas traditions, proving that you can have a White Christmas in Australia. Also this week: colonialism, Ban...

The Critical Banter Bingo makes a triumphant return this episode as Rohit, Sen, and Kush mull over their past week. The bingo makes a strong start with various references to Kush and his affiliation to children in the reach around. From there, we rediscover Rohit’s childhood YouTube channel, cheating on exams and Kush’s misogyny before ending with a timely Hitler reference. Also this week: Tik Tok...

Believe it or not, we’ve got yet another female guest this week, with Mel. She's Rohit’s friend from exchange, and as we found out this week, is an absolute fiend for tinder. Join us this episode as we deep dive Mel’s tinder, which is far more active and entertaining than Sen’s. Also this week: Bathurst, drugs, durries, vasectomies, melanin and North Korea. Segments this week: Weekly Reach Around:...

The dynamic threesome return again this week to complain about all aspects of their miserable lives. This week we get an update on the life coach as the boys realise podcasting was the wrong decision. Rohit also completed his degree this week, leading to a passionate rant from Kushagra about Marketing group assignments featuring a certain Shribba. Also this week: Isosceles Triangles, Hare Rama, Sh...

After having guests consistently the past few weeks, we were unable to con anyone into coming on this week. Nevertheless, Rohit, Sen, and Kush are here to take you through their week and the many grievances they have. This week we revisit an old game, we laugh at some dumb people and we have an update from last weeks podcast. Also this week: Chris Hemsworth, Tony Robbins, Davis Cup, nonces, femina...

Things get spicy at Critical Banter this week as we welcome Rohit’s ex, Cindy, onto the show. After realising we can Reach Around women, we get to know Cindy by discussing dogs, bushfires, male prostates and criminal records. We also discover what she saw in Rohit and what compelled her to date him for over three years. Also this week: arson, Movember, listener questions, Rare units, Critical Bant...

Historic week for Critical Banter as we welcome our first female guest, Priyanka. We test the limits of reaching around a female, discovering a lot about Priyanka along the way, including her love of dogs, children, confrontation and balloons as well as a childhood crush on Anthony Calea. Also this week: #NupToTheCup, old flames, gay knees, Kentucky Craigslist and our rarest unit yet. Segments thi...

**DISCLAIMER: WE APOLOGISE FOR AUDIO ISSUES IN THE REACH AROUND INTERVIEW** This week we are joined by a very special international guest: Ryan from the Knackers in the Breeze podcast. We give Ryan one of our trademark reach arounds, getting to know his podcast better, before discovering his views on Brexit, Harry Kane, the IRA and Gypsies (shoutout to the Romanian community). Also this week: kara...

Kushagra makes his much anticipated return to the podcast, sporting facial hair that would make any white supremacist proud. This week is the holy grail for Critical Banter bingo as we cover all our favourite topics such as China, Jesus and cucking. Also this week: Thicc dogs, Air Max’s, Sandeep the Creep, Joker and relationship advice that sounds suspiciously similar to the plot of Room. Segments...

Things get cute at Critical Banter this week in our most intimate episode so far. Kushagra fails to show up, presumably taken by Chinese government officials, leaving Sen and Rohit up to their own devices. What ensues is 30 minutes of inane, pointless, pseudo-intellectual dribble, or what we call a normal conversation. Also this week: we love China, talentless kids, the peak of humanity, dodgy air...

Another week and another change in personnel as we welcome special guest Isaac Joshi on for Kush. One could consider Isaac to be a bit of a rare unit and this week we discover the extent of his rareness. Also this week: Rohit gets desperate, daylight savings, baddies, Rohit debuts his Soundcloud mixtape, meme conspiracies and much more. Segments this week: Weekly Reach Around: Like good mates do,...

Backstreets back after a two week hiatus. With Miguel off on a 4 month sabbatical, Ro’s at the wheel, as Critical Banter (including Kush) return bigger and better than ever. To mark our triumphant return, this week we discuss penises. We talk suspiciously big dicks, dick ball, good urinal form and even a cheeky guest appearance. Also this week: cinema shootings, wedding stitch ups, hermaphrodites,...

Sad week at Critical Banter as we bid farewell to one of our own (don’t worry, he’ll be back). It is said in life that, “when one door closes, another one opens,” to be honest we’re not sure what that actually means or if it’s even relevant, all we know is that Kush might have to start showing up now. Also this episode: the chilli sequel, tipping in Australia, Rohit denies the holocaust, our sadde...

This week is all about the sauce. The boys recount their trip to the Hunter Valley including stories of hitting the sauce and other wine related exploits. There is also an epic tale of hot sauce consumption before ending on a passionate discourse about Rohit’s barbecue sauce fetish. Also this episode: casual misogyny, mouth clits, Soulja Boy, PC culture, Android inferiority and high school rare un...

This week Rohit does something that no one has done before - he had an exciting time in Canberra, without going to Questacon. Our recording schedule is thrown into disarray as Rohit spends his weekend galavanting around our nation’s capital, forcing us to record on a weekday. As such, Kushagra dogs the recording and his graduation, in an episode with more sacrilege than a George Pell trial. Also t...

Is it a coincidence that the week Rohit comes back from his quarantined state, our audio also goes tits up? Yes it definitely is a coincidence, but alas, Rohit is back and our audio is cooked and we apologise for both. The scope of this week’s episode is far reaching, from teenage genital flashing to shoestring fries and everything in between, we discuss it all. Also this week: Rohit is a bad sama...
