Cooking With Grief

All the way from Australia, we're joined by stand up comedian Matt Harvey for a look at some mind-blowing facts - the platypus is somehow even stranger than it looks, Ancient Greece didn't mess about when it came to "cancel culture", the British Empire exiled criminals to Australia for the most petty of reasons, and if you want to hunt Bigfoot then you better buy a license.

Show Notes

Cooking With Grief is the comedy podcast that covers everything from history to science, pop culture to geography, and everything in between. Each week the two hosts each bring two topics they want to share with the other, in an internet show and tell. For Episode 55 we are joined by another very special guest - stand up comedian Matt Harvey! Our fact journey this week takes us from the stages of Ancient Greece (and an important lesson on learning your lines) to the forests of North America for the legality of hunting Bigfoot, via the reasons the British deported criminals to Australia, and the weird creatures that inhabit the continent - including the not-so-humble platypus that is somehow even stranger than it appears.

If you enjoyed the show, and even if you didn't, please leave a review, and follow us on Twitter @CookinWithGrief !

What is Cooking With Grief?

Cooking With Grief is a podcast where two glorious morons share facts, stories and titbits they've found interesting, an internet Show & Tell. Topics range from science to history to current events, and pretty much anything else, all discussed and dissected with complete irreverence and absolutely no desire to be serious. The facts are sound, the understanding is tenuous, and the jokes - well, that's subjective. Enjoy!

"A witty and unique podcast on current events and the world around us."
- Chris & Chris

"This is completely banal and you're wasting your time."
- Our mothers

"Who the hell are you and why are you talking to me?"
- Random guy on the street
