It says in the quote I posted that they're podcasting Which will be convenient.

It's Triple J, they podcast everything.

Probably old news (and more than likely posted elsewhere but I can't find it)...

AFTER rumours of another spoof-style television show, The Chaser is returning to the wireless for the US election. While the show was originally destined for ABC television, it was pulled at the 11th hour due to budgeting issues. The group has returned, tails between their legs to their alma mater, Triple J.

"There's always a risk in testing how interested Australians are in an election they can't vote in. Thank god for Sarah Palin, said Chris Taylor, who will be hosting a daily rundown on the US elections from Monday on the yoof radio network.

"We just need to make sure we don't make every single episode about Sarah Palin, although there is enough material," he said.

The half-hour 5pm slot (plus podcast) will see Taylor joined by Craig Reucassel for reflections (read: pranks, sketches and commentary) in the lead-up to one of the most important American elections in history. "On the one hand you've got Obama wondering whether his grandmother will still be alive on November 4," he said, "and on the other hand you've got the Republican Party wondering if John McCain will still be alive on November 4."

Chas Licciardello and Julian Morrow are also slated to make appearances on The Race Race. Hillary Clinton has been approached, adds Taylor.

"We might just have her answering the phones or emptying the bins or putting CDs in the mail for successful talk back callers," he said. "But we'll have a role in the show for Hillary Clinton; I can assure you."

So we can tune in from tomorrow arvo (27/10) at 5pm and have a laff.

GC, you have to trust that by the time you find a Chaser-board-worthy story, Lexii will have found it, started a thread about it, had a long deep & meaningful with every member of the team about it and posted the results on here

[Lexii-]

Well that's exactly right

Especially the deep and meaningful part

Can't wait to listen to this. Its a shame the tv show didn't work out, sounds like it would of been awesome.

Hoorah, it's on this afternoon. 

Here's the Race Race page, with the podcast url down the bottom. There's a little promo thing that you can download already. Sounds like it could just be the intro to the show that they'll play every day, so don't get too excited or anything 

Oh, I should charge my radio thingie (back from the dead...) on the off-chance that I may actually get to listen to it...

[Fashion Zombies!]

10 mins to go

I'm off to the gym in ten though, so I won't be listening.

*Raised eyebrow*

There's a lot people don't know about me

I've got Triple J on now... Chris is in the background asking what the candidates names are again.

[Mr. Blonde]

My radio reception's so dodgy in my room. The static makes me angry.

[Fashion Zombies!]

Was it any good?

[Lexii-]

I didn't mind it but I've always liked Chris & Craig's shows. Oi Hayley they mentioned something about how Americans think Obama is a terrorist because of his name.. remember that story I told you about that dumb American lady?

[Fashion Zombies!]

What happened to her anyway?

[Lexii-]

I dunno, she never comes online much anymore. I hope that Obama wins, especially so I can say to her "lyk zomg a terrorist is leading your nation"
