Desperate times call for inappropriate measures.

In this season finale, we take a long, very unserious look at how to (possibly) grow this podcast. From pet branding and funeral speeches to Bluetooth hijacking and international diplomacy, no idea is too ridiculous if it gets listeners. Also includes a home vasectomy kit, a nudity quota, and the phrase “emotional support podcast.”

• Grassroots chaos: Pet stencils, QR codes in pub toilets, sandwich boards with false promises, and softly threatening wedding speeches.

• PR stunts gone wild: Streaking, wombat guardians, reality TV infiltrations, and one giant phallic float on the Yarra.

• Headline hunters: From Spotify conspiracies to full-blown declarations of war against Burkina Faso—just for the clicks.

We’ve all got them – some you laugh off, others haunt you. In this episode, we wade through the murky waters of regret: the things said, done, eaten, posted and almost acted on that probably (definitely) shouldn’t have happened.

• Foot-in-mouth moments: That sinking feeling when the words are already out… and everyone’s heard them

• Questionable consumption: When your freezer’s full, your dignity’s low, and dinner may or may not be fit for pets

• The morning-after checklist: Wallet, keys, phone, dignity… which one didn’t make it home?

What do a reanimated corpse, a European nobleman and a werewolf love triangle have in common? They're the focus of this irreverent second instalment of The I Digress Book Club, as we “dissect” the horror classics Frankenstein, Dracula and – just to complete the triangle – the Twilight series. From Gothic masterpieces to Young Adult madness, it's literature, but not as your English teacher taught it.

• Frankenstein’s creature: Not a grunting monster, but a tragic, articulate soul just looking for love… before the murders begin.

• Dracula’s real ambition: More than a bloodsucker—he's an empire builder with a property portfolio and a strategic plan.

• Werewolves and Twilight: Shapeshifters, dodgy love triangles, and Ringo’s critical deep-dive into vampire lore (and dubious werewolf facts).
