The Shelf Podcast

Justin and Adam during the Comedy Festival again. Justin interrogates the audience. Imperial Comedy producer Angela Thompson delivers coffee. Adam manages to draw a line between Mad Men, Grey's Anatomy and The Good Wife. Justin reveals he used to be able to recite the whole of Mad Max. He's also charging $128 for his shows next year. Justin raves about Daredevil. There is a lot of talk about Mad Men.The Shelf XII tickets are on sale now. Huge lineup including Wil Anderson, Dave Anthony, Gareth Reynolds, Celia Pacquola, Hannah Gadsby and Tony Martin.

Justin is unwell and a bit croaky, and Adam is putrid. Another of the live Shelf Podcasts recorded during the Comedy Festival at the Imperial Hotel. Some very outdated references, including Justin having just seen Jake Gyllenhaal in Nightcrawler, and Adam being excited about the trailer for Daredevil. Lots of dirty gay talk (Adam has mistaken it for the Poofcast, it seems), steaming open Gwyneth Paltrow's envelope, Adam's infamous pressed hams in the office, Justin getting in trouble at a radio station, cabs skidding on banana skins, watching TV when it's not good anymore and Donnie Wahlberg.The Shelf Season XII is coming in August to The Toff in Town. Tickets on sale now.

Recorded LIVE during the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, with special guest Josh Earl, host of the hilarious panel podcast Don't You Know Who I Am?Lots of fun with old mate JEarl, talking rubbish about playing basketball, henna tattoos, Justin's Blood and Toner show, hijinks on roadshow, disfiguring accidents, and the last time Adam and Jearl went to the Logies (possibly ever). There are visual gags that will make no sense, and references to things that happened months ago, when it was recorded. Just go with it.The Shelf is back for Season XII in August. Tickets on sale now.

Adam joins forces with Steele Saunders from the Steele Wars podcast to talk all things Star Wars, live during the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. 

Justin and Adam are joined by The Shelf regular Tegan live at the Imperial Hotel for the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.An indiscrete story about Wil Anderson and a poof, Tegan dropping the C-Bomb, James Bond, bus toilets, Hey No Dad, Justin's watch, Tegan touching celebrities, Jeremy Renner gawking at J.Lo, faceboob, 90s shows making a comeback and <insert joke here>.For hardcore Shelf fans, there are tram bells. Also, all these live podcasts have visual jokes in them that we don't really explain. Enjoy!

Justin and Adam are joined by Geraldine Hickey and Anne Edmonds from The Downlow (you can hear them Sundays on RRR). Eddo and Gezza normally talk about footy and other kinds of sport (with Kate McLennan), and we do eventually get on to that topic, but first you can hear us all bitching and moaning about our comedy festival shows. Also, we find out how they get the bubbles into a soda stream and it's surprisingly spiritual.Recorded live at The Imperial Hotel during the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.WARNING! Spoiler Alert on Interstellar. Justin spoils a casting surprise.

The first of our LIVE podcasts, recorded at The Imperial Hotel during the Melbourne International Comedy Festival (tickets still available for other episodes at comedyfestival.com.au) this one featuring The Shelf teaming up with the Little Dum Dum Club podcast - Justin and Adam with Tommy Dassalo and Karl Chandler. Things get out of hand pretty quickly with a trip to a brothel, some dicey behaviour in a gay sex-on-premises establishment, doing shows in Town Hall storage facilities, school reunions, bullying Dilruk Jayasinha and getting ragged on in song by a busker.

This has everything you want in a Shelf podcast. Tram bells, sirens, walking to a cinema, driving around Melbourne. We ask all the big questions, like what was The Fonz doing in his office in the toilet? Why do people do those "One Man <insert tv show / movie trilogy here>" shows? How does that Wizard of Oz / Pink Floyd thing work if they have incredibly different running times? Why doesn't Doctor Who trick a robot into a hole? Why isn't Apple as easy as it should be? Why is it so windy? Plus, you'll get to meet the new cosmic superhero, The Bronze Herald, wielder of the Poower Cosmic. All this and the Dutch poo shelf echelon.Come see us do this malarkey live at The Imperial Hotel, tickets at comedyfestival.com.au or at the door.

The Shelf is back very soon, here are the most palatable highlights from an episode of Season X. They're not very palatable. Tickets on sale now for The Shelf and The Shelf Podcast Show.

Adam and Justin in the car going to the country, talking about the Hunger Games sequel, Interstellar (of course - Justin has just watched all of the trailers again), old men being mean to Taylor Swift, anti-ambition, decompressed storytelling, Ryan Reynolds vs Chris Pratt, the planning permit avenger, and many other topics all frequently interrupted by the annoying GPS lady.Tickets for The Shelf at The Toff on sale now from Moshtix.

Adam and Justin are backstage at The Comic's Lounge with Becky Lucas and special guest Michael Chamberlin, while Wil is performing. Justin has seen Interstellar for the sixth time, prompting some vile innuendo from Adam about his black hole. There is a discussion of fantasy purchases and punitive comedy.

The Shelf is on the move again. This time Justin and Adam are buying comics from the Eisner Award Winning All-Star Comics in Melbourne. Thankfully, other people in the shop help them out when they can't remember the name for a thing, less thankfully, tangents based on things in a direct line of sight. Spoiler Alert, as always, if you haven't watched this week's Doctor Who, plus we talk about the pilot episode of The Leftovers as well as some ruminating on Arrow, Doctor Strange, The Flash and that movie with Clint Eastwood and the crazy lady. You know, the one from Arrested Development. Oh! YOU KNOW!

It's a sunny day, so Justin and Adam are having chocolate on the balcony. You'd be forgiven for thinking this is an episode of that Star Wars podcast with Steele Saunders, because we talk about Star Wars A LOT. More than normal. Tom Cruise, Twin Peaks, Batman, but really, it's just a lot of Star Wars, and noisy chocolate eating. Spoiler Alert! (If you are stupid enough to never have seen The Empire Strikes Back).

Apparently we've managed to get to the last week of May without releasing a podcast for The Shelf. Our most sincere apologies. This is more of the same malarkey. Justin, Adam and Tegan in a car going to the airport. We don't talk about a lot of things. Well, we go to talk about them, but then we worry about spoilers, because various people in the car are not up to speed on things, so we don't talk about those things. It might be charming or annoying. Who can tell.

Tegan and Adam in the studio talking about zapping electronics when they're stressed, Jennifer Lawrence, obligationships, Adam's impending gaol term, clarification of rumours, Tegan's new exercises, going to New Orleans for a few days, driving off a cliff, dating, not getting paid for work, making scripts sound real, and Tegan's champion short film, Flash!
