Featured review
Australia's Two Most Premiere, Esteemed, Elder Statesmen Comedians, Glenn Robbins and Dave O'Neil Star.
I am writing this review of the Somehow Related podcast not only because Dave O'Neil and Glenn Robbins requested their audience to (please) do so (and, seeing the absence of any reviews at all on this site, I can see why they felt compelled to ask!)
But also, I write this review because the show is utterly worthy of vastly greater public exposure, so that you, another member of the general public, who's apparently been missing out this entire time, might also very much enjoy 'listening in' on the psychological meanderings of Glenn Robbins and Dave O'Neil as they muse upon and deduce the seemingly tenuous connections between subjects as diverse as polystyrene and asteroids, ghost Yowies and steel ball bearings, sightings of aliens and roulette wheel number pattern frequencies, such is the format of the show where each week two otherwise seemingly unrelated topics, between which they must find some shared connection, are presented by 'Samantha', their alluring, digital, female co-host (who loves being on the show so very much that she does it for free!)
On the way toward the conclusive answer to the mysterious connection between these two subjects, we may hear from amongst various joyful recollections of fast food gorging experiences, memories described vividly and verbally relived with unbounded passion. Ranging from these intimate moments of salted battered ecstasy to reflective and candid tales recounting the fickle circumstances of what has manifested whilst living day to day in contemporary Australian society as one deemed 'famous' and what a topsey-turvey, seesaw ride between sore affliction and excited exaltation that this has proven to be!
In Somehow Related (for absolutely free and at no cost at all to you) you may experience a personable and relaxed half hour (or more) enjoying the interesting and engaging, humorous conversational antics of Australia's two most premiere, esteemed, elder statesmen comedians, Glenn Robbins and Dave O'Neil, both of whom have been consistently in strong demand for personal professional appearances for decades in Australian film, internet, TV, print, radio, on stage and in advertising, for both private and public media entities alike.
So prevalent are Dave O'Neil and Glenn Robbins within the Australian cultural comedy entertainment scene that at any given moment you may listen to any one of their over 40 episodes worth of appearances in the show Somehow Related, alone!
Importantly, in the case of Glenn Robbins, he is (at the time of writing) making regular appearances on various national TV channels advertising for a major car manufacturer, their most important recent advancement in transportation technology and conveying this message effectively, unobtrusively and comically, effectively in the way only Robbins can, in the guise of his bushman character, Russell Coight, (who is destined to surely eventually equal Crocodile Dundee in terms of screen success, should someone have the bright idea of writing a full length feature film script featuring some similar tale as that of Dundee, filled with the dark and slapstick humour for which Coight has become a crowd favourite).
This endeavour engaging Robbins at untold expense to the unnamed car manufacturing entity, represents a significant amount refelcting his telents, an amount that you, lucky prospective new listener, will never have to pay to listen to the candid, lengthy conversations of which Somehow Related consists, as it is available to you absolutely for free, nix, nada, nilch, zilch and the sum total of nought point nought nought!
Many episodes of Somehow Related also contain a comedy sketch featuring the two subjects in question and it is during these that the comedic skills of our hosts emerge at their most powerfully hilarious, leaving listeners laughing out loud and myself often wondering 'why haven't we long ago seen a sketch comedy show centering around this duo, commissioned to receive guaranteed national and international success'?
Who knows?
Maybe we will and you'd better hurry up and subscribe to Somehow Related before it's gone and it's too late!
Or, if you don't, their popularity may wane and then such a show may indeed never manifest!
Oh, the conundrum!
(Can I have my money now?)
