1. Romans, Magic and Ghosts, Oh My!

Fri, 07 Feb 2025 06:30:00 +1100

Dive straight in to the first chuckle worthy episode of GYHOF.

We travel to Ancient Rome with Caesar and the hardships of ruling #slayqueen,
a short skit to warm the cockles in the middle and finish with the first episode of Paranormal Patrol
where unexplained anomalies draw a chaotically funny team to find ghosts. Or whatever it is making
those weird sounds.

Join us for a laugh at the end of a very long week.

*We acknowledge that the introduction of "Ladies and Gentlemen" is not as inclusive as one would like it to be, but was written and recorded in a different time, reflecting a different era. We acknowledge that the world is full of billions of individuals, all unique and glorious and we wish to invite all those who enjoy a good laugh.

Fri, 14 Mar 2025 06:30:00 +1100

Friday I'm in love, with some good old fashioned soap opera drama, a very good dog on the farms at Ed & Ted and some more ghosts busting on Paranormal Patrol. Whose the bestest boy in the middle of nowhere? Will we ever get a satisfying love triangle in an audio series? Will the team on Paranormal Patrol finally get some solid evidence of the unknown? There's only one way to find out, hope you enjoy.

8. My Precious Doowdrah Eniuneg

Fri, 28 Mar 2025 06:30:00 +1100

In this stunningly bizarre week of March, we try to humour you with gags, jokes and more gags with Short Skits, On the Roman Nose and Paranormal Patrol. How does Caesar deal with news from overseas? Who left the skid marks on the Marbled Palace floor? Who are the barbarians? And of course we continue our enthusiastic group of investigators as they devise ways to communicate with the dead and their colleagues alike. Buster just can't seem to get the message...

Wishing you a gorgeously lazy or adventurous weekend ahead to leave the week behind.

10. Prophecy, Fate and the Odd Bogey

Fri, 11 Apr 2025 06:30:00 +1000

It's Friday, finish up the week with a smile or a laugh and join Caesar and Sensus in dealing with crime and justice, a short a merry skit to break up the episode and finish with the finale of Paranormal Patrol at Lady Loosely's Head. It's not goodbye forever for the Paranormal Patrol, but they do need to wrap up this investigation and answer once and for all, is the gaol at Lady Loosely's Head haunted? And also who is doing the haunting? Does the HR department need to know about Buster and the Stool? Does insurance handle ghost related accidents? For all that and more, join us on Getting You Home On Friday!

It's Friday and we have a nice bag of mixed skits to get you through the week.
