7# Lemonade

8# The Gays Are Revolting
The weekly news source for the contemporary gays, full of bawdy lovemaking stories, trivial pop culture nonsense without all the “hetero hoopla.”
9# Aunty Donna
Another trio of hilarious guys who have somehow managed to pack all their absurdism, mannerisms and surrealism into one podcast. This one’s perfect for the whole family.
10# Loose Units
Based on the thrilling book, the podcast involves Paul and John Verhoeven delving into real-life cases deemed either too “surreal, brief or contentious to fit into the book”.
There’s a wide range of topics and genres to explore throughout this year with a few notable ones from our 2019 list such as ‘Better Than Yesterday, With Osher Günsberg’ and ‘Loose Units’ most likely going to make headways, but be sure to check out some of our new additions to the list with ‘Lemonade’, ‘Australian True Crime’ and more.
2020 is set to be another HUGE year for Aussie podcasters so don’t miss out!
