We Tried to Be a Failure (And Still Got 18,000 Downloads)

from The Imposter Podcast AU · host Chris Burson

The one we've been paying for without releasing anything for 12 months. The farewell — and it's a good one.Burso and Almo are back together — two out of three original co-hosts (Fedora's too cool for us now, fair enough) — to wrap up The Imposter Podcast AU the way it was always meant to end. No script, no agenda, no idea what we're doing. Just the way it always was.We started in January 2024 by venting into microphones for our own mental health. Went live in April. Somehow wound up with nearly 18,000 downloads across 83 countries — Australia, America, New Zealand, then Algeria, which we still can't explain. Hiroshima had more listens than Geelong. Geelong knows what it did.In this one we catch up on where everyone's landed. Almo's out in the country now with a beehive he didn't ask for, neighbours who loan him excavators, and a life that's turned out better than expected. Burso's been making reels with Jarryd, appearing in War Machine for approximately 1.5 seconds, and finally painting the studio he's been promising himself since episode one.We look back at the guests who made this thing worth doing — Matty Morris unearthing us, then coming to breakfast the morning after and showing us his fame when the local cops recognised him, Mark Thomas talking about being in his undies, the negotiator, Jess Taylor somehow cracking the top four most downloaded episodes even though we are the least likely pregnancy story hosts. We revisit the Simpson Desert, the Waves of Wellness wave pool, the sorting hat reel that got two million views, and what it actually meant to sit across a kitchen table from people we'd known for years and ask them real questions for the first time.And we talk about what's next. Mad Dog Show for the banter, the chaos, and the content that'd get a guest fired. Wings Out for the career stuff, the transitions, and the conversations you can actually share with your boss. Two shows, two audiences, and a much better chance of not confusing everyone.We genuinely tried to be a failure. Didn't quite manage it. Thanks for being part of it.Black/Dark Humour is confronting for some people. It is however, how Veterans and First Responders try and shine some light on otherwise dark and hard to discuss topics. The topics and the way they are spoken about, don't actually show the real feelings of such events that occured.  Matty Morris of https://www.zerolimitspodcast.com/ helps us out with a banger of a tune.
