Hello my loves!!
Thank you for joining us for another episode! Today we say some things we cannot take back, as Mel brings to the table a segment where we build our own ‘Here Me Out’ cakes, ie- the characters that deserve the spotlight for being hot – in our eyes, but maybe not the general public. Our ‘Bring Bring Bitch!’ hotline is a gorgeous dm from a listener, and gets us chatting all our tips and tricks on writing a solo show.
There’s then a ‘Kick Ons’ where we salivate like there’s no tomorrow as we share our death row meals. And of course our ‘Hit It Toots!’ sees us singing as two famous animals. Surprised you’re still reading this tbh because this ep sounds like an absoulte HODGEPODGE of stuff.
See you Thursday for another ‘‘Ratfood!’
Love Mel & Sam

Mel & Sam would like to acknowledge that Ratbag is being recorded on Stolen Land.
The original custodians of this land have had a rich history of storytelling for over 65,000 years, and we pay our respects to the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation whose land we are recording Ratbag on.
Treaties were never signed. Sovereignty was never ceded. Always was and always will be Aboriginal land.
