Ex triple j hosts, Alex Dyson (AKA Ratdog) and Kyran Wheatley are launching a podcast, Mirth.
Along with the poddy, they’re opening a bar… why? It isn’t clear. What’s the podcast about? Also, not entirely clear… but we are keeeeen.
According to their iTunes description, “Alex Dyson and Kyran Wheatley try to create a comedy podcast devoid of faff and untainted by triviality, and miss by a long shot. Like, not even close.
“But they do have interviews with cool people.”
There’ll be daily episodes of Mirth throughout the Melbourne Comedy Festival, where we’ll hear a bunch of guests including performers from the festival.
In Mirth’s teaser, Dyson says, “One thing that we did want to do was take our love of radio and take our love of beers, and somehow combine them.
“And so we’ve actually managed to do that through a whole lot of admin… we have managed to secure a little location where we can both do a podcast… but also have a bit of fun with our friends, having a few social drinks.”
It is without irony that I announce I have started ANOTHER podcast. @AlexDyson and I were sick of the never ending calls for us to start a podcast together. Relentless! So, finally, the podcast you didn’t ask for is here.
Oh and we’re opening a bar.https://t.co/GQJaHv7kL0

Hi Friends. @KyranWheatley and I thought that starting a podcast and opening a bar in central Melbourne was too easy on their own, so we’re doing both together. Enjoy. https://t.co/R8Ev39bD87
