Rats In The Gutter

Auckland’s most infamous podcast hosted by a triple-threat bad bitch and an erotic fiction-writing poet/filmmaker.

$20 - $25 (plus service fees)
60 minutes, no interval
Fri 16 February, 2024

Rats in the Gutter is Auckland’s most infamous podcast. Nothing is off limits from poetic descriptions of butt plug incidents at the gym, to breaking down the socio-political context that delivered our Lord and Saviour, Lady Gaga to the world.

Co-hosted by Johanna Cosgrove, an award-winning actor/comedian/writer (Shortland Street, Madam, Aunty, Hi Delusion) and Samuel Te Kani (Ngāpuhi) - a poet, filmmaker, prolific erotic fiction author and essayist (Vice,  Metro, Vice, The Spinoff, TVNZ, Stuff, NZ Herald), basically the Fran Lebowitz of K Rd.

Come and join the darkly effervescent hosts for a one-off live podcast spectacular as they navigate pop culture, politics, romantic misadventures and ego disorders in the dying metropolis of Tāmaki Makaurau, all for your listening pleasure.
