Something to cheer you up
Dear Reader,
GREAT NEWS to hear that Victoria is now in lockdown. I know that sounds a tad unempathetic, but hear me out. You see, this week we launched a daily podcast.
It's a big undertaking, so we were chatting to some marketing experts to find out the best way to get more listeners. Turns out, the best way is to have a captive audience, who don't really have any choice but to listen to your podcast.
Which is why it is GREAT NEWS that Melbourne went into lockdown this week: the very week that we launched our new daily format. Talk about captive!
Don't get me wrong, I'm an empathetic guy. In fact, I even did a half-hour online empathy training course, so I'm a bit of an expert at it.
If you live in Victoria, it must really suck. (See, that's empathy right there!) But look on the bright side. It means you've got plenty of time to catch up with all the latest episodes of The Chaser Report podcast.
The Chaser Report comes out at 5am each morning. That means our podcast is two hours better than our main competitor, The 7am Podcast. And instead of investing money on pesky pedants, like "fact-checkers" and "proper reporters", we've dispensed with all that rubbish to guarantee you news far more entertaining than our truth-based competitor.
Best of all, our daily Chaser podcast is guaranteed to have no appearances from Paul Bongiorno explaining the latest goings on in Canberra.
Coming out at 5am each morning also means you can now listen to The Chaser Report as part of your morning routine. Each day, we bring you quality commentary, songs and sketches such as this announcement about Melbourne's Lockdown from the Australian Federal Government.
Just subscribe on your podcast app of choice. (Or stream it from our website here).
Have a great weekend (or if you're in Victoria, hope your weekend isn't too terrible -- see more empathy!).

Because we're a "new media" company, we're now legally required to release our own line of merchandise. It's highly defamatory.
