Who said nothing ever happens in Brisbane? Join hosts Jessica Kate and Ellen Rose as they dig up the skeletons buried in our own back yard and take you on a macabre tour around Australia’s third largest city - home to the Stefan Needle, the Brown Snake, the crushing feeling that you’re trapped in a dead-end town that you can never leave, and some of the most brutal murders in Australian history.

WE ARE HERE TO TALK ABOUT DOGS! Some dogs are doggos, some are puppers, and others may even be pupperinos. There are corgos and clouds, fluffers and floofs, woofers and boofers. The chunky ones are thicc, and the thin ones are long bois. When they stick out their tongues, they're doing a mlem, a blep, a blop. They bork. They boof. Once in a while they do each other a frighten. And whether they're 10/10 or 12/10, they're all h*ckin' good boys and girls. Check us out every Wednesday as we show those snooty cats exactly who is the goodest house-pet!

All cats, all the time.

Friends. We all have them (probably) and we all love them. But we’ve all got that one mate who no matter how much we love, we can’t help but be appalled at their life, hobbies and habits. But have you ever wondered what would happen if you and that friend pulled a Freaky Friday and swapped lives? Well no need to give your self nightmares because that’s where we come in! Liz has her life together. Kurtis, by all rights, shouldn’t be alive. And every week they’re going to swap a different aspect of their vastly different existences for your podcasting pleasure. Diets, jobs, exercise routines and underwear. Nothing is off the table. Be sure to tune in every Friday to hear them suffer whilst walking One Mile in each other’s shoes.

The TV shows we watch say a lot about us. A cynical person might prefer light-hearted comedies as an antidote to the crushing existential weight of their everyday life. A former youth-group leader might be obsessed with religious iconography and pop-culture depictions of the devil. People are weird, and it shows in their Netflix queues. Made You Look is a podcast that tries to work out why we love the things we love. And if Jane and Kurt have to watch each other's favourite TV shows to do it... They're willing to make that sacrifice.  One week Jane will select an episode of one of her favourite shows for Kurt to watch. He'll recap it, try to figure out the missing pieces, and then comes the criticism. Together they parse out the episode in detail, touching on world-building, story construction, theme, production context and personal connection. The following week it's Jane's turn...

Drunk Game Design is a collaborative project between a bunch of game designers, game enthusiasts, and general vagabond who we bribed into participating. ​ Every month, we meet up and get inebriated, and then have a big old discussion/argument about some stupid game we want to have made over the next month. ​ Jack will put together the game over the next three weeks, release it to the wild for you to try out, and then for the first part of the next episode we play the damn thing! Following that, we get drunk and design another one!

MUSICAL THEATRE HAS NEVER BEEN BIGGER. WITH BROADWAY'S 2017 BOX OFFICE SURPASSING $1.5 BILLION FOR THE FIRST TIME (HOLLYWOOD REPORTER) AND AWARD-WINNING FILM PHENOMENA LIKE FROZEN, GREATEST SHOWMAN, AND LA LA LAND - THE WORLD IS RUSHING TO SEATS AROUND THE GLOBE TO RAISE IT'S JAZZ HANDS AND SING 'HOW DO WE SOLVE A PROBLEM LIKE MARIA!?' Yet at a closer glance only 5% of the shows created are responsible for the high grossing revenue - the remainder close early, out of town or in the case for most original musicals in Australia, wander aimlessly through the Outback desert waiting to be discovered. The early composers almost single-handedly opened the door for tin pan alley and the evolution of popular music. It’s responsible for giving us household names like Bette. Audra. Patti. Mandy. Sondheim. Lloyd-Webber. What can composers do today to find similar success and how has the industry changed? Making a Musical will ask questions and try to understand why people love musicals; What is about them that has people travel all around the world to see them? In this exploration of The Great American Art Form, BRADLEY MCCAW (Award-winning writer/performer/ lecturer) travels to New York (USA), London (UK), TBC (Japan) and Melbourne (Australia) to ask Industry greats first hand - what does it actually take to make a great musical. He will sit with those who are at the forefront of making musicals, try to unpack how the industry works here in Australia and abroad and figure out why we can't make musicals like other places in the world. What don't we have - that they have in NYC, London, and Asia?

The King Lives. Prove us wrong. Each week join Julie & KB as they delve into the world of conspiracy theories. Starting with Elvis & ending.... well is there ever really an end? The girls will investigate the convincing to the down right crazy each Monday. Are the theories true or false... you decide

Each month, host Jo Diskett is joined by a group of video game enthusiasts and storytellers to select a game and pull apart its story. Over four episodes they discuss everything from setting to pacing, characters to worldbuilding, and the unique power games have to make a player’s choices count. Cutscene Saga doesn’t review games... it investigates them. Jo and their guests discuss what makes these game stories so great, and what we can learn from the way they’re put together. So fire up your consoles and load your game library. But of course, don’t forget about the standing spoiler warning!

We are a podcast that talks about the LGBTQI+ community in Brisbane and the everyday lives and experiences people have. Stop on by if you want to relate, learn, or just listen to some good conversations.

Picking each story’s ingredients carefully, from their yeasty origins to their hammy plots, Ol’ Matty Hannibal Butler boldly chews through zesty summaries, meaty analysis, then tells you once and for all, without pretension or apology, if that word sandwich is still fresh and, of course, delicious. Has Ol’ Matty Hannibal Butler bit off a bite more than he could chew? Probably. But where there’s a will, there’s a Hemingway. And it’s all worth it for a bite of that Delicious Word Sandwich. Delicious Word Sandwich: readable edibles; eat with your whole face.

Every week James, Kurtis and and endlessly rotating cast of co hosts will trawl through the most intense, weird and pointlessly detailed Wikipedia articles they can find, with a hefty amount of good time comedy jokes thrown in for good measure, all so you stop wasting so much time on the internet.

LET’S TALK ABOUT EX, BABY! AH CRAPPY RELATIONSHIPS, THE BANE OF OUR COLLECTIVE EXISTENCE. BUT WHAT DO WE LEARN FROM OUR MISTAKES? Former relationship columnist Elizabeth Best and current all-round funny guy Tom Harris chat to guests about the couple fail stories we all like to recount over drinks (because let’s face it, sometimes we need booze to cope). Ghosts of Boyfriends past will take you on a journey through the funny, tragic, horrifying and sometimes just plain bonkers stories about that crazy little thing called love, and try to wind up wiser for it. It’s like a group therapy session... with two people completely unqualified to be leading it.

We all know that love is about finding a genuine connection with someone, having open, honest communication and embarking on nationally televised helicopter dates to prove your commitment. We are Aimee Duroux and Geena Schwartz - two out and proud fans of The Bachelor Australia Franchise and your hosts of Love Bachually. We’re out to prove that The Bachelor isn’t a ridiculous TV show and gone are the days of labelling it as a guilty pleasure. Like a private orchestra on the first date, you’ll be delighted, confused and overwhelmed alongside us as we try to piece together the drama and fairytale romance that is the Bachelor. We’ll be diving deep into the politics of the show as well. How much of what we think is influenced by the way a person, date or cocktail party is edited? Are these healthy behaviours? Will we ever find love in a hopeless place? So can you become smarter by being invested in the Bach? Definitely, maybe. At the end of the day, we’re just two girls here for the right reasons.

Never before has one known the true depths of cluelessness as these two bumbling idiots attempt to make sense of the divine mystique without someone accidentally cursing their families or something. This stuff can come with kinda ominous warnings. Have you seen thatOuija movie? It wasn’t very good, but hoo boy, it has got me worried. Imagine if that happened to us on an episode one day? Ha,ha, man that would be wild. You wouldn’t even be able to tell because it would all be audio! You’d just hear us screaming and being haunted and all that. Who would have even uploaded the audio? Spooky! Anyway. Join our neophyte foretellers as they explore the wide range of different ways these walking apes we call humans have tried to predict what will happen to them tomorrow from Miley Cyrus to Mesopotamia.

Tailored to tabletop RPGs, but we can be used for anything from fantasy writing to annoying monologues at parties. We’d love to hear what you’re using us for. Shoot us a message on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram (@dungeondeepdive), or send us an email at deepdivetnc@gmail.com to tell us what you want us to deep dive next!
