The Chaser Report

Comedy EN ↓ 1248 episodes

Are you sick of news you can trust? For over 200 years, The Chaser has been the world's leading source of news you can't trust. The Chaser Report offers a satirical look at Australian and world news and culture, along with occasional confessions of parenting and business failures, the latter often involving an amusingly large number of unsold avocado pool toys. The show is hosted each day by two of the satirical comedy group’s co-founders, Charles Firth and Dom Knight, along with occasional cameos from more talented, less available Chaser colleagues. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for...
