Sneeze and a war, anyone?

The iconic and tissues probably aren't as well known as The Great War, but they were a part of each other in at least one way.

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.

Would you like to join The Not Really Club?

Why?

Peter, Dave and Glenn are given different circumstances and asked if their response would be "Not Really."

Elegant in it's simplicity but complex in the competing social considerations!

There's plenty at stake if you choose to respond, "Not really."
