About this listen

The world is changing every day. Completely fabricated nonsense matters now more than ever. Hosted by veteran comedians Peter Oldring and Pat Kelly, This is That uses the same serious audio techniques for comedy as others do for journalism: phone interviews, narrative documentary, archival news clips, witnesses on location, found footage, and so on. But on this podcast, everything is fabricated: this is a completely fake in-depth look at the issues, culture and personalities shaping our world today.
