    The Sweetest Plum Podcast

    Declan Fay and Nick Maxwell rant, rave and ramble their way through whatever is winding them up this week. Twenty minutes of barely concealed bitterness, masquerading as social comment, from two extremely out of work comedy writers.

    #201 - We're (almost) done boys

    After 12 years, 200 episodes, and 1863 anecdotes about kids Declan grew up with in Bulleen, it's time for us to finish the podcast and head back to the family farm for good. Thanks to everyone who listened along the way. 

    But we're going to do one last final gig at the Rochester Hotel, Saturday 27 August, at 730pm. So come along and help up go out with a Boom, Boom, Pow. This one probably will sell out, so if you can book tickets now at this link.

    We'll leave the podcast up for about a month so you can download any old episodes. 

    A Boom Boom Pow. 

    Love Dec and Nick

    #197 - A Knife into the Nervous System.

    #197 - A Knife into the Nervous System.

    After a long stint at the family farm, we're back to discuss pretty much the same stuff we always discussed: Richard Roxburgh, Tony Martin, Gary Sweet, Cameron Ling, Cameron Ling's Mother, Simon Black, Slash, and some guy that Dec's dad clipped on the way into the MCG in 1999. Plus those annoying people who try to sound like they're way busier than they actually are. 

    Huge apologies it took so long to get another one out. Thanks for hanging in there.

    A Very Brief Public Apology

    A Very Brief Public Apology

    It's too painful to write down. Have a listen and hear two broken men try to explain/excuse/console themselves. With a bonus comedy sketch from deep in the previous employer archives because we felt bad.
