Somehow Related is an Australian comedy podcast where Glenn Robbins and Dave O'Neil are given two seemingly unrelated topics and try to work out how they’re connected.

Along the way, they spiral through observational comedy, cultural detours, pointless debates taken seriously, and stories drawn from everyday Australian life — occasionally landing on a conclusion, often not.

If you enjoy smart, loose conversations about ordinary things, unexpected logic, and the humour hiding in plain sight, this show will somehow make sense.

What is the connection between Nazis and Fanta? Napoleon and Kangaroos? JFK and corsets? They are all Somehow Related.

Part of the Nearly Media podcast network.

From the USA, and some stints in Australia, it's Jeff Stilson.

He's worked with Chris Rock, Ali G/Borat, David Letterman, was a regular on The Panel (what a time for Australian TV) and many more comedy shows.

And he's a friend of Glenn. They play golf and sometimes Jeff shares a story.

"He'll tell a story about someone who he's spent some time with and you go 'I can't believe what I'm just hearing!'"
