The Harsh Couch
by theharshcouch.com
The Harsh Couch is a weekly wireless programme in which we review Australian and World news, politics, sport and other things that are making us sad, glad or mad. Four blokes sit on The Harsh Couch: a doctor, a lapsed lawyer, a stay-at-home dad, a couple of anarchists (one a crypto-anarchist), some true believers, a former political staffer, a couple of dot-com survivors, a Buddhist, a chef and three cooks, a couple of musicians, three fathers, a former employee of the World Bank, a former public servant, current and former tertiary educators, a current employee of a Big Four bank, a bottle-shop worker, four old friends, a Queenslander, a Sydneysider, a South-East Asian, and a NSW country boy.
