    Too Funny to Listen to Running on a Treadmill Without Risking Injury
    Absolutely hilarious podcast. New Patreon subscriber - if you can only listen to one Australia-based podcast to develop an unhealthy one way psychosocial friendship with in lieu of making real connections in your day to day life, allow me to recommend Boonta Vista. Come for the pleasing Australian accents, a worldly selection of news stories, and exhaustive discussions about Netherlands fireworks injuries. Stay for the Subway comment reviews.

    Got me
    After a couple of years of not paying, freemium freebruary finally got me. See you in the premium feed. It’s worth it.

    Amazing garbage show
    I sleep to Boonta Vista nightly because nothing else is engaging enough to transport me to the other realm while also being devoid of “importance”
  • ilovesportsball
    Obsessed
    I like when Tom and/or Demi come on. the others are funny too
  • Master of Abyss
    Top ten podcast
    I feel like I may have left a review already, but I’m a bit drunk… so who knows. It’s a great show, <chef’s kiss> check it out.

    👍
    The Paging Dr Lucy theme song goes harder than 99 percent of all music ever made
  • JT33333
    Whacky news
    Funny people talking about whacky news from around the world.
  • basket brother
    always good time
    i'm a podcast expert and this one is great
  • larepete
    Funny and low key
    Cast does not take themselves too seriously. Their music jingles are excellent. Put away your sensitivity if you’re older than 50 or American or if you get annoyed by people saying old people don’t know what the internet is. I skip most of the episodes where the guest is American but I do recommend #3 where a guy talks about the history, background and motivations behind the terms reactionary, conservative, and liberal.
  • Tonyicumtoohard

    good vibes incarnate

  • jakeb224
    A must-listen!
    Two episodes a week isn’t enough! This is hands-down the best current events podcast out there, and I find it really helps me relate better to my Dutch and English coworkers. Sign up for the Patreon too, you won’t regret it.
  • tactidact
    A magnificent show
    An absolutely cracker of a show, great japes, informative news segments, and a lovable cast of scamps that just keep you coming back for more. I’m humming and singing the segment theme songs to myself throughout my day and they make life just a little bit easier.

    Great show for making your brain bigger with knowledge about holes and Metal Gear references

  • Taj Number 22
    Great!
    Great to listen to in and out of the bathroom!
  • IntensivePurposes
    Isn’t that weird?
    My new favorite podcast. If you aren’t subscribed to the Patreon you deserve to be banished to the Netherlands.

    small news for small minds
    good pod
  • BlubberHound
    Consistently Entertaining
    I found this podcast and in a few months listened to hundreds of episodes. The hosts are funny and the fact that the topics are so mundane makes it a real feel-good listen. Their Patreon is worth it for that double content

    It let me know Australians don’t have that heavy of an accent. Which is good. Podcast is also funny. Which is also, good.

    Cured my ED.
    This podcast cured my inability to pleasure my wife. Thanks Boonta Vista!
  • emmmalaurel
    Patreon is worth it!
    My daily listen. Helps calm me down before bed, but if you try to fall asleep to them you might wake your partner up from laughing. Good luck.
  • Jonathan_Cook_
    A wonderful listen
    Hands down, BV and the premium episodes (the patreon is really worth it) are the media I most look forward to each week. Although it is Australia focused, I don’t find that an issue as an american. The most important factor is the hosts. The four hosts are all capable of true knee snappers at anytime. The cold opens they are doing are some of my favorite bits. They are really good at keeping things feeling light while reviewing some depressing news The hosts never talk over each other, and again are all really funny. The only 3+ host podcast that flows that well. I’m actually sadden when I see the show notes and see that a host is missing, although the show is still great regardless. Any of them could carry an episode on their own. Thanks for being a source of uproarious laughter during the quagmire the usa and much of the world is currently in
  • Yarn and Cats
    Good vibes
    Yum yum I love to listen.

    Is this Theo the same one from Alvin and the Chipmunks? Sounds like him.
  • funky-button
    Driest of Dry Humor
    The nonchalance on display here is truly masterful. It’s enough to make me think it’s cultural as much as individual. They’re Australian - there may be a New Zealander or two in there, I honestly couldn’t tell you. Ok full disclosure: I listen to this podcast because the hosts’ lack of intonation helps me fall asleep. But they’re good, you will like them.

    Took me awhile to get to it, but after a few eps Boomta is one of my faves of the left Twitter podcast constellation — it’s a funny good one & I think you’ll like it 👍 hosts include @LucyXIV and @thomas_violence, who you may know from the Internet.
  • Dizzymisslizzyp
    Mr. Bocean asked me to review it
    It’s very soothing because British prison colonies have the nicest voices except maybe lord of the rings islanders. The politics are boring because kangaroo types don’t have as many reality stars. Very good to listen to before going to sleep at night.
  • mjcl
    Very comforting
    Politics in the US is all f’ed up right now, so it’s nice to know that politics are also f’ed up in the land down under.
  • obungler
    it’s pretty good
    i like the show
  • ts aquinas
    One of the best
    The folks that make this are very dedicated. Every week they churn out another funny, well thought out episode. 😘😘😘 to the Boonta Vista Socialist Club
  • ashea1099
    Good show
    I like to listen to the accents and to learn that Woolworth is a grocery store chain down under.
  • ivankaramazov

    Amusing, but there are better ways to spend one's time than listening to "socialists" who find Chinese "influence" on a genocidal settler colonialist state "troubling" and think Bernie Sanders is actually good.

    Best Apex gang sponsored pod out there

    Not Sure if Paid Review
    I was promised compensation for 5 stars, but it's to be paid in the form of Australian money, which I suspect is fake
  • Michael Lattimer
    This show maid me smarter
    This show maid me much smarter than I was before and I am greatful for that, also the hosts are all such sweeties and you should smash that mf subscribe button.
  • Milky French
    Heck yeah
    It’s a good show despite the fact I don’t understand what they’re saying.

    Please send aid $$ to New Zealand our political system is not yet sophisticated enough to produce funny podcasts.
  • OMGworst
    Like a leaf floating down a stream
    I like it when the say Australian words for swears. I listen to it on my head phones and stare straight at mother who has no idea of the language being said. Rob (Patron)

    Vital discourse
    This podcast provides all the information and advice one needs to live a full, healthy, and productive life.
  • CONNORcGOLDEN
    Very good, but also smart too
    The show is gay as hell, which in my opinion means it is actually very good
