EP 76: Alexander Bertrand

He’s had a multi-decade career at the steepest heights of the entertainment industry, with  top rating radio, TV and streaming shows as well as a successful New York pub, but there’s still one thing Hamish Blake has never done: A proper day’s work. His new show Unskilled Adult seeks to change that, as he enlists a crew of comedians, podcasters, and media careerists to learn the jobs of everyday Aussies.

 

From building planter boxes, catering weddings, welding a trailer and drywalling a salami shed, they take on tasks with the overconfidence you’d expect from a bunch of soft-handed simpletons who don’t even know the meaning of hard yakka. Hamish joins Clancy and Errol to chat through the struggles and triumphs of his new show

WEEKLY BULLETIN: Alleged Horse Racing, US Midterms, Albo Treats Sportsbet, Price Gouging & Road Rage Ends

What the heck are the midterms? And how do they affect us down here? Former US correspondent for Nine, Charles Croucher, joins Betoota Talks to give us the run down on the many different political soap operas currently taking place across the United States. For the first time since the Obama era, it looks as if the US Democrats are the party trying new things - and it seems to be working. Does this make Trump old news?
