Episodes

Morningside 19.02.2021

AFL. Burgers. Scotland. It's all your favourite parts of Brisbane, wrapped up in a neat little box that is then unpacked by Henry & Joe in this week's savage expose on Morningside: the suburb that time forgot.

A New Yorker in Brisbane 17.02.2021

On this special mini-episode, Henry & Joe chat with New York, Hong Kong, and now Brisbane resident Craig Boden about what sets our little river city apart from some of the world's heavy hitters. If you've ever wanted to feel endlessly patriotic (or you love The Gresham), this one's for you.

Bali 12.02.2021

Henry & Joe pack up their boogie boards, singlets, and NRL player contracts and jet over to Bali for a weekend in the sun and the slowest waiters of all time.

Kelvin Grove. The land of boys named Danny, fashion students catching shuttle buses, and a brilliant KFC. Henry & Joe dive deep to unpack this enigmatic inner-city enclave.

Chermside 29.01.2021

Two young soldiers on the frontline of suburbs-based podcasting dig into the trenches of Chermside to quarrel over shopping centre layouts, indoor skydiving, and how to get the Brisbane City Council to fix their driveway. It's more fun that it sounds.

Greenslopes 22.01.2021

Henry & Joe check themselves into Greenslopes Hospital before escaping for a delicious IGA snack on this delicious unpack.

The City 15.01.2021

Henry & Joe wrap up the year with a chat about Christmas in Brisbane, featuring intense prawn discussion, Christmas light chats, and backyard cricket.

We Recorded An Album (ft. Hamish Litster) 10.12.2020

Join the boys as they somewhat self-indulgently unpack the brand-new debut album they recorded with Brisbane's first ever podcast-inspired Brisbane-focused indie rock band, The Mangroves. Singer and guitarist Hamish Litster joins to chat recording, the stories behind the songs, and what makes a mangrove a mangrove.

Stafford 05.12.2020

Join Henry & Joe as they rock up to Bunnings to request a sausage and a can of drink, please, before returning to Brisbane's best shopping centre. Listen to the end for an exclusive listen to a new Mangroves track!

Albion 26.11.2020

The boys dive deep into historic Albion, chatting Trevor Evans' office, portable air conditioners, and a secret passageway from Brekky Creek to GYG. Get ready to be utterly unpacked.

Burgers 20.11.2020

Burgers! It's all time for chats about burgers, let's absolutely knock this out of the park.

Howard Smith Wharves 06.11.2020

Henry & Joe don their best white linen, order a cocktail at Mr Percival's, and settle in to unpack Brisbane's latest icon: Howard Smith Wharves.

Kenmore 30.10.2020

Henry & Joe get into a fight at the tavern, crash their car on the deranged roundabout, and talk about Aldi, because this week, we head out west to unpack Kenmore.

Redcliffe 23.10.2020

Henry & Joe are 'stayin' alive' this week with a Redcliffe unpack. We're talking Bee Gees, camels, and the weird rivalry with Scarborough that no-one else knows about.

Windsor 16.10.2020

Henry & Joe drive up to the Eildon Hill reserve to chat netball, teenage angst, and the ANZACs. It's Windsor this week on Unpacking Brisbane.

Kangaroo Point 08.10.2020

There's no kangaroos, but there's plenty of points to be made about the home of the Story Bridge Hotel, the cliffs, and apparently, Brisbane's newest red light district. This week, the boys go under the bridge like Anthony Kiedis to unpack Kangaroo Point.

Camp Hill 01.10.2020

Henry & Joe discuss Nodo, Green Day, and social touch footy in a comprehensive, gutsy, controversial unpacking of Camp Hill. It's going to get real.

The boys catch the ferry across to (North) Stradbroke Island, to unpack pre-schoolies, sand mining, and pretending to break your arm.

Taigum 18.09.2020

Henry & Joe venure out to Taigum (or is it Taigum) with special guest Housemate Jack in tow, talking about donuts, population explosions, and the pho you have before a city goes into lockdown.

Milton (LIVE) 10.09.2020

Henry & Joe chat the XXXX Brewery, Suncorp Stadium, the Wally Lewis statue, and recovering your humanity after a cup of orange juice at the Milton Markets on a Sunday morning. It's Milton, it's LIVE at the Flamin' Galah, and it's unpacked.

Eatons Hill 04.09.2020

Henry & Joe take an $80 Uber out to Brisbane's least iconic music venue, unpacking Cardi B-rapping babies, popular spots for teenage drinking, and beer festivals. The Eatons Hills are alive with the sound of Khalid!

McBrisbane: The Ten Best McDonald's, Ranked 28.08.2020

Henry & Joe delve deep into their sordid histories of cheeseburgers, hamburgers, and failed careers to unpack the ten best McDonald's in Brisbane, with a healthy level of respect for the democratic vote. Watch out for your arteries!

Teneriffe 21.08.2020

The boys are back in the box this week, and they've decided to throw on their activewear and waltz along the river in order to truly unpack Teneriffe. It's the suburbs of small dogs, hot divorcees, and an Italian restaurant that gets unpacked for twenty minutes. Tune in.

St Lucia 30.07.2020

In this week's season finale, Henry and Joe unpack college flash mobs, butter chicken pies, and a deranged pink mansion that gave rise to a true crime story for the ages. See you in two weeks.
