🤑 CHIP IN TO OUR PATREON https://www.patreon.com/ARationalFear📨 SUBSCRIBE TO OUR EMAIL LIST: http://www.arationalfear.com/🎟️ BUY TICKETS TO THE A RATIONAL FEAR LIVE SHOWS Once a month on the A Rational Fear podcast feed and email list, comedy editor, Dylan Behan, will bring you News Fighters. Dylan has been cutting wacky clips for film and television along side me for all of my careers. I first met Dylan when he was an assistant editor at Tracks Post Production when he worked on The Ronnie Johns Half Hour with me back in 2005. And since then he’s worked in the comedy trenches with The Chaser, Tonightly, It’s Not A Race, and of course regularly appearing at A Rational Fear gigs on stage and on the mic. For the first episode of News Fighters for 2023, host Dylan Behan looks back on an oddly quiet summer of news, a lowlight of which was the right’s outrage over Anthony Albanese going to the tennis. Also why Peter Dutton is going to do everything he can to block the Voice to Parliament (hint: because Albo is in favour of it!) News Fighters is a comedic look at Australian news, media and political hypocrisy from TV comedy editor Dylan Behan.    Chip into support the show at http://www.patreon.com/ARationalFear Watch on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/newsfighters Listen to old episodes at http://podfollow.com/newsfighters Follow News Fighters on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/newsfighterspod/ Follow News Fighters on Twitter: http://twitter.com/NewsfightersPod Follow Dylan on Twitter: http://twitter.com/dylabolical Email: [email protected]   0:00  G'day A Rational Fear listeners, Dan Ilic here letting you know that yes, you may have noticed I took the week off last week.
