From dickheads and corn cobs to murder most vile. From bum chafe to crushes and garrulous guile. Writing comedy is never as easy as reading it. Do you have to break a sweat to make people crack a smile? With Andrew HC McDonald, Meg Bignell and Kate Emery, hosted by Carrie Cox.
4:00: Warning: contents may offend
Grumpy old men meet grumpy young them. Former ABC presenter Geoff Hutchison and anarchic debut novelist Patrick Marlborough preview their July new releases How Not to Become a Grumpy Old Bugger and Nock Loose. Hosted by Gary Adshead.
