Podcasts are arguably overtaking books and TV as one of Australia’s favourite pastimes. There are literally millions of episodes covering every conceivable topic on the main podcast platforms. Unfortunately, this can make finding new content more than little daunting.
If you’re keen to treat your ears to some podcasts with local flavour, we’ve got you covered – here are 11 new shows to add to your list.
The following list of Aussie podcasts was curated in conjunction with the podcast company Acast. It covers everything from true crime (natch) to gay rights and workplace productivity tips. Wherever your hobbies and interests lie, you should find a new fave in the list below. Enjoy!

Lemonade

The Gays Are Revolting
The Gays Are Revolting is a definitive weekly news source for contemporary gays, bringing you a healthy dose of smutty lovemaking stories and trivial pop culture nonsense, without all that hetero hoopla. We put the G in LGBTQIA+, and we’re here to help you be the best G you can be. The team have also just announced live shows in both Sydney and Melbourne.
Aunty Donna
In 2012, Aunty Donna exploded onto the Melbourne comedy scene with a unique brand of surreal, fast paced, alternative sketch. It’s comedy the whole family can enjoy.

A weekly conversation that hopes to help you make today a little better than yesterday. Join Osher for intelligent, inspiring and authentic conversations, as he interviews people from all walks of life.
Loose Units
The true crime book Loose Units, out now through Penguin Publishing (and in bookstores everywhere), had one thing it couldn’t do: it couldn’t fit everything. So each week, Paul and John will sit down and delve into cases too surreal, brief or contentious to fit into the book. John and Paul are also continuing their national tour of live shows with 2 shows happening this February in Brisbane.
Aussie Mystery Hour
If you’ll allow us a shameless plug, this one comes from our colleagues at Pedestrian.TV. As the name implies, it’s a 60-minute exploration of Australia’s biggest and most enduring mysteries with plenty of episodes devoted to crime – from unsolved Mafia murders to Melbourne’s notorious Mr Cruel.
