Aunty Donna Podcast

The current cover art for the Aunty Donna Podcast, designed by Scott Bonanno

   The **Aunty Donna Podcast** is Aunty Donna's main podcast. It consists of the episodes accessible for free as well as the Aunty Donna Club episodes, powered by Patreon.

## Main podcast

Aunty Donna began the weekly Aunty Donna Podcast in May 2016. The podcast involves random riffing and improvised segments. It is hosted by Mark, Zach and Broden. Tom does the audio work and occasionally chimes in. As of 23 Aug 2021, there are 268 episodes of the podcast (167.5 hours' worth). It is usually used by the group as a way to develop ideas through improvisation.

The podcast often includes special guests such as comedians Michelle Brasier, Stuart Daulman, Daniel Sloss, and many others. Their first live podcast was recorded at The Basement Theatre Auckland and featured Melanie Bracewell & Nazeem Hussain.

It was broadcast on Soundcloud until Podcast Ep 68, before moving to omny and then to acast. The podcast was part of the Planet Broadcasting network until the network was discontinued in 2021.

The longest (and only) break in the podcast was a three month break from December 2019 to March 2020, while they filmed Aunty Donna's Big Ol' House of Fun. Episode 181 is the first episode after this break. Often, the boys will go on a bankin' em run to record episodes ahead of tours and filming.

## Aunty Donna Club (powered by Patreon)

The Aunty Donna Patreon, also known as the Aunty Donna Club, began in November 2016. It includes regular (usually twice monthly) bonus podcasts. These cover various topics, including improvisation based on patron suggestions, Q&As, sketch deep dives and (relatively) serious discussion of film and comedic influences. There are 108 normal Patreon episodes of the podcast, which were uploaded until August 2021. After that point, the boys switched to the weekly Pudcast.

Since Podcast Ep 184, subscribers have had access to video versions of new Aunty Donna Podcast episodes, which are released about a day before the public audio releases. All Patreon podcasts past and present are available to current $6.90+ subscribers in Patreon posts and private playlists.

The **Pudcast** is a podcast series distributed via the Aunty Donna Club, in which Aunty Donna consecutively try many puds in one day.

The theme of the pudcast originates from the Christmas 2018 video Always Room for Christmas Pud, which gained a significant amount of viewers and went viral. Another result of the video has been the yearly Pudmas podcast best-of.

The first series of the Pudcast was recorded in August 2021 and announced via a trailer on the 1st September. 15 episodes (one for each of the 15 puds) were released weekly from September 3rd until December 9th as a replacement for the monthy Patreon podcast. Fans were encouraged to buy and eat each weekly pud while watching the corresponding episode.

Series 2 was recorded on December 12th 2021, promoted with another trailer and released from January 7th 2022 onward. This series featured 16 puds instead of the initial 15, and all of them were pantry puds as opposed to frozen or fridge puds. For this reason, fans were unable to eat along, particularly because it was no longer the Christmas season. Instead of being recorded over Zoom, this series was recorded in a well-furnished podcast room. Over the duration of the series, the boys contemplate the definition of what pud really is.

Eat it with your family. Eat it with your friends. This Pudmas, deliver a Pud to the doorstep of your close ones. Every single day until they ask you to stop. It's a Pudmas tradition.
