PETER WINKLER | Bombing At Comedy, America Vs Australia & Top Conspiracy Theories

Peter Winkler is a comedian and host of the 'Curious Pete' podcast.

In Conversation #87, Pete and I discuss: bombing while headlining a comedy festival, stories from rural Qld, drop bears/hoop snakes/yowies, why you don't want to mess with Bigfoot or people from Montana, our personal favourite conspiracy theories and general cultural differences he has noticed after living in Australia for a fair while.

Hope you're having a fantastic day wherever you are in the world, Kyrin out!
