Adelol

It's election season all across Adelaide, and after long deliberation we've finally found a political candidate we're willing to endorse (in addition to Mark Aldridge of course). For the City of Charles Sturt we will be giving our endorsement to Paul Kitsis. We were particularly won over by his eye catching flyer and his commitment to democracy. We should also point out that neither of us live in his electorate, we just think "you's" should all get out there and show him some love.    Check out his Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/VOTE-1-Mayor-Paul-Kitsis-Candidate-City-of-Charles-Sturt-2153414988260012/   #AdeLOL #heapsgoodhistory #AdeLOLLive #ComedyPodcast#AdelaideComedy #SAHistory #havealaughhaveaLOL #GibbsEmAGo #MakeCharlesSturtYousAgain  

In a very special live episode, we explore the tale of Arvid Hilarian Wistrand, a Swedish (and possibly Jamacian) immigrant and his run-in with the Art Gallery of South Australia. A huge thanks to everyone who came and watched the show, we really do appreciate it, and the whole Crown & Sceptre crew. We look forward to doing three live shows at the 2019 Adelaide Fringe Festival at the Crown & Sceptre on February 21, 22 and March 16. Keep your eyes out on the guide for more details. A big thank you to Ron Kandelaars and Channel 7 for being such great sports and supporting our podcast. If you haven't seen the news coverage of us yet, you can check it out here. Apologies to all our regular listeners for the break between podcasts, but we look forward to bringing you much more content and live shows throughout the rest of the year.

Please come to our free live show, We'd 3 Oct, 6:30pm at the Crown and Sceptre, and make us look good on the TV. 308 King William Street, great food and beers, average comedy.

Listen to us be horrible people and also open a SA Produce Showbag from the Royal Adelaide Show...there's no way it was worth $20.

ANNE IN A CAN IS HERE! As a thank you, we explore the history of SA's best paint store, Paint Supplies. Get into their store today and get our Anne in a Can. Mad props to Gary, Emma and the rest of the Paint Supplies crew for making all our paint related dreams come true.

In the very first of our new 'Old-Timey Crimey' series, we explore the story of an elderly lady, some clothes and a Hindley St. Macca's run from 1911.

In this very special episode, we explore the history behind a much loved state icon, Balfours. From Pasties and Pies, Cakes to Cobbs, and Frog-cakes and Fish (you'll see) our state's best bakery has done it all. A huge thanks to Jim Millar, baker and previous head of Balfours product development, for sharing his hilarious Balfours stories from the 60's to the 90's. Go neck a Balfours pie, pasty or sausage roll today. Follow us on facebook or twitter.

We take a quick look at a not so famous South Australian invention, the military tank. Although not officially credited to it's SA inventor, it's pretty clear someone's just ripped off a Heaps Good Historical item once again.

We explore the 1976 gun siege on Rundle Street. Not a funny event at all, but it's all part of our history. Join us on a trip down memory lane, when gun shops and free samples were still a thing.

We take a long look at the history of great children's television shows made in Adelaide, and of course, the scandals that came with it. Beer of the episode is expired Coopers Light. Check us out on Facebook and Twitter. 

A short tale of when World War Two ended in South Australia (it's not when you think it is).

For South Australia's History Month 2018, we told the story of Mike 'Randy' Rann's smackdownm, at the Little Bang Brewing Company. A scandalous piece of modern history all about sex, lies and a magazine. Thanks to all who came along, we had an absolute cracker of a time. We'd like to that all the work the History Trust of South Australia and SA's History Festival have done to support us and further community awareness of SA History, and also Little Bang Brewing for just being absolute legends.

For South Australia's History Month 2018, South Australia's Emerging Historians of the Year (lol, wtf?) present the history of Stepney at the Little Bang Brewing Company. From outlaws to wood pirates and Dan parking his car in the wrong spot, the little suburb of Stepney has a rich and hilarious past. We'd like to that all the work the History Trust of South Australia and SA's History Festival have done to support us and further community awareness of SA History, and also Little Bang Brewing for just being absolute legends.    

What happens when you get between a man and his meat? One of the biggest riots our state has ever seen. Have a listen to this live episode recorded at the Adelaide Podcast Festival 2018, of which the content will ensure we're never welcome at any Port Adelaide establishment ever again. Many thanks to the Auscast Network and all the sponsors, especially Placard Media.

In this AdeLOL we explore the story of English Gentleman and Explorer John Horrocks and South Australia's first camel, Harry. John was the first European to explore Clare Valley and establish some townships in the region, but he is ultimately remembered for only one thing...have a listen and find out where this hilarious tale ends up. Beer of the episode was the very nice Bee Sting Golden Ale by Barossa Valley Brewing.

For Museum Week 2018, we tell the short story of the time over 600 butterflies went missing from South Australian Museum.

When Mark Aldridge was a little peeved that The Advertiser wasn't covering independents in their 'Off the Record' podcast (even though they were), we decided to give SA's Better Independent Candidate for Ramsay a whole episode devoted to him. Mark's brilliant community work, care for animals, farmer's market and excellent deals on quality used vehicles truly make him a man of the people. Sure, he's made a few mistakes and enemies along the way, but what decent political candidate hasn't? Beer of the episode by Hobo Brewing, straight outta' Salisbury. Visit Mark's website today and join us on his campaign team next election. Vote 1 Aldridge & AdeLOL.

We kick off our series of great South Aussie inventions with everybody's favourite, Cask Wine. Loved by teenagers, facebook mums and Bob Francis, we explore the origins of what has become a state icon. Click here for more info about our SA History Festival show at Little Bang Brewing Co.

Following our live performance debut at the Adelaide Fringe Festival 2018, we decide to delve into the past of the Adelaide Fringe Festival. Established by artists who weren't deemed quality enough to be included in the Festival of Arts, it's the festival for literally anyone who has saved up a bit of pocket money to perform at, regardless of how terrible, offensive, or just downright lude their act is. So now you can see why it was a perfect festival to make our live debut. We look at some controversial shows over the years, and read some of the worst reviews that the 2018 Adelaide Fringe Festival had to offer. We'll see you at next years Fringe, but also stay tuned for the announcement of our next live show coming soon.  

Our final live show of 2018 Adelaide Fringe Festival explores the story of South Australian athlete and legend, Reg Spiers. After running out of money in London, Reg Spiers decided to post himself home in a home-made box...and that's just the beginning of this epic story, which certainly has a few surprises along the way. If you're only going to listen to one AdeLOL this year, be sure it's this one. This episode is adapted from, and barely scratches the surface of the book (which should be mandatory reading for all South Australians) "Out of the Box" by Julie & Marcus McSorley, who we thank dearly for their permission and assistance on this episode. As this marks the first anniversary of AdeLOL, we would also like to thank all you listeners. We never thought we'd actually have fans and people who regularly tune in and get in touch with us, we can't thank you enough for your support. Please feel free to rate and review us on iTunes or wherever you get your podcasts. Thanks to all who attended the even
