Zachary Ruane | Comedy Friends, Podcast "Friends" & Dogs

Season 7, Ep. 8

Zachary Ruane is best known as one-third of the global comedy phenomenon, Aunty Donna. In his own right, he's a comedian, a writer, an actor, and a world class artiste of the noblest of all pursuits, podcasting. In this episode, Zac talks with hilarious candour (and mild panic) about reaching one's mid-30s and wondering what friendship is supposed to look like. Let's just say the question "are you a good friend?" really takes off. He also pontificates about forming Aunty Donna before they were friends, about the fine line between friendship and podcasting, about the purity of friendship between man and dog, and so much more.

Plus, while Rhys is tragically absent, Georgia & Kyran catch up in the intro, covering political campaigning, female wrestling, democracy sausages, a songwriting sabbatical, the weather, and a potential new segment "what has [insert name of host] missed?"
