And a plug for the inexplicably absent from the menu of sbs podcasts, the always whacky and zany shaun micalleff.
Funnier than john stewart, no question-stewart can't do the slapstick, he sucks at the truly zany gear, funny as he may be, micalleff is the king-funniest bastard to have ever disgraced the airwaves, no doubt.
Poor guy, no wonder he cant keep a show on the air for more than half a season, he just doesnt know when to stop, and fall back into the gentle social commentary so expected of commercial comedy.

Naturally, if i were a freakin genius, i would have searched for "newstopia", his most recent show on the sbs site, and perhaps not been assailled by a million and one foreign languge news podcasts, not that i even know what a podcast is, i shall try and dredge up the correct links.

Ok, dont know where to find them, but this guy is the goods-you take the good with the bad, sure, but stewart barely holds a candle to this guy, no way stewart could pull these stunts, talent just isnt there.
I gather, he somehow wangled a new series , so thats good too, for australia, and the world.
Seriously.
