Are you sick of news you can trust? For over 200 years, The Chaser has been the world's leading source of news you can't trust.  Now daily in 2021, The Chaser Report will be hosted by original Chaser co-founders Charles Firth and Dom Knight each day, with Rebecca De Unamuno delivering all the latest Chaser news headlines. They will be joined from time to time by more talented, less available contributors such as Craig Reucassel, Zoe Norton Lodge, Sami Shah, Andrew Hansen, Nina Oyama, and Chris Taylor. There will also be appearances from the almost-notorious Chaser Interns.

    Charles wants to talk about something high octane and exciting, and totally not the bond market. You might hear Dom say he wants to talk about the bond market, but that is comedic misdirection utilised to make a satirical point. I promise this episode isn't about interest rates, the bond market, or how hard it is for Charles to be a homeowner. Now keep listening so he can afford his repayments. ---Follow us on Instagram: @chaserwarSpam Dom's socials: @dom_knightSend Charles voicemails: @charlesfirthEmail us: podcast@chaser.com.auFund our caviar addiction: https://chaser.com.au/support/ Send complaints to: mediawatch@abc.net.au You can lose the ads and get more content!
