Voting! Sausages! Hercules! What more could you ask for? 

10/9/25 • 46:15

Chekovs Swing. Mussolini. Well we're not doing that! Subsets and kids. Fun parents? The best Queensland ever. And some other stuff.  

8/24/25 • 65:02

What's better than one Bluey episode? As they used to say in the arcades: MULTI-BALL! The boy chat to the first bit(e) of the hilarious Minisodes. 

7/25/25 • 74:12

It's a Christmas episode? In June? I mean, why let a silly thing like timelines keep a good dog down, right? There's weird Brendan stories, wonderful Marty bare bones and much more in this rainbow kaleidoscope of an episode. Because seriously, how good is double Bingo???

6/17/25 • 67:03

He's been talking about it for ages but Frank has FINALLY been to the promised land of Queensland and the meca of Bluey's World. If you've already booked your tickets and don't want spoilers, maybe this pause this episode for a bit.! Learn about this amazing experience from out first hand experience and stick around for some little surprises thanks to our old mate Alfie...

2/28/25 • 24:16

Need some help around the home? Feeling emasculated? 3 or 4 days work? Did you hear about Ryans boat? Hear about Brendans Euro-adventures. (You have been warned!) All this plus an Aussie comedians finest work. 

2/22/25 • 54:03

Be more Romance! But also ewwww. Are biscuits in season? Gotta take the good with the bad - including parts of songs. Bandit is laying it on THICK - and we are here for it! You never thought there'd be a ven diagram of Bluey and Metal Gear Solid but, here we are. Does Brendan have a ghost in his house? Inspector Gadget does not meet 2024 standards as we welcome you all to Middle Age! Special shoutout to our favourite American Kristen for her verified USA fact checking! 

12/29/24 • 51:59

It's a massive day in Bluey's world. The biggest and most joyous news we could hope for - contrasted with some trifficult news. But don't cry because things change, celebrate that it happened at all. In addition, we kinda get a little Back To the Future in explaining our future drops. We love you all - we just don't love our own organisation skills. 

12/19/24 • 18:00

Sport and sport-adjacent things. Three SA boys attempt to explain the fever of State of Origin to internationals, and indeed themselves. Can two tribes ever truely co-exist? Blue v Maroon, Pat v Janel, Brendan v the English language. Dings all round.

If you don’t like the word Dunny, this episode might not be for you. But we do provide lots alternatives! The Etsy monster makes a terrifying appearance alongside lots of visual jokes (sorry) and the house always wins in this family-centric bottle episode. And we finally address that bursting inBarks. But not in front of the Queen. Zillow ad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQ1evssA-Hg

8/4/24 • 49:05

To everyones great surprise, we haven't gone away! Just life got in the way! So lets use our time machines and pretend like we never left. There's talk about school introductions, Chattermax instructions while Marty needs his MT time and Brendan self-referencing The Sign. Too much chat about the design of the gun while the world wants to know, Frank, just what YOU done? Learn about the origins of this for real life as Marty uses maths to cause Brendan strife. As we look to the future and THAT mystery dog, may we all remember this show is from God. 

6/3/24 • 62:26

Well if you thought we had too much fun in Sydney, wait till you hear the giggles in our voice when we chat to the man himself JOE BRUMM! We deep dive into all things "The Sign". Does the longer format help or hinder? How often did Joe move house? (No we don't have his address) We learn the origin of how Joe came to be an animator along with extended B-plots from the already extended episode. There's even discussion Queensland road rules, knife twisting and probably the best damn "Not a Dad" ding in history. Much like "The Sign", this ep has it all! 

4/26/24 • 66:36

Let us tell you about our weekend. It's no big deal really. We were just among the first people in the WORLD to see the latest Bluey episode THE SIGN. And we three 'Barners travelled interstate to do so. So yeah, nothing major to report.... OH MY GAWDFASGDAJ OSPADG NSWADG NKNF. @LB !!!!!1!!1!!!

4/20/24 • 12:19

What defines a hero? Is it historical? Are they from Lord of the Rings? Is it Dog Tropes? Is it quirks of the English language? And Magpies - are they friend, or foe? We invent a new wedding idea that might just take off. Are scarfs common place in Brisbane? Every good episode deserves a montage (MONTAGE!) There's some awkward editing taking place as for real life interrupts our recording in real time - what will do? Be sure to check out Brendan's sibilings adventures in these shameless plugs: daisychainfacepainting @ InstaArcade Dad Podcast

4/3/24 • 50:44

Look, the term "exciting episode" gets thrown around a lot. But this legitimately is one for the ages. There is an actual HAMMERBARN - for real life - and we were there. Incredibly, that's not even the biggest news of this ep! It's so big, Brendan forgets how to speak - which is ironic considering the tale he tells about an amazing, truely once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The rest, is Bluey history. 

3/3/24 • 30:26

This episode builds, and builds and.... wait what was I saying again? Just follow the instructions Frank! How many rooms is too many rooms? Just ask KimJim. There's a Community reference, poorly done sponsorship drop (not an actual sponsor), more Cricket chat because we can, ruined water cool talk and some not too shabby harmonies in there as well. 

2/8/24 • 50:17

Ok - we get it. And don't worry, it's addressed right at the top. Welcome to our nightmare! A place where Marty keeps speaking, Brendan keeps tenuous-ing and Frank gets called out by Ludo staff. But there's also plenty of Tolkein plot-holes, Warner Bros parallels, Coconut drinks and cross sections to be had. So hold your breath and enjoy another glorious Australia-specific puppeteering shoutout, all the way from the moon. 

1/17/24 • 49:46

This episode is a tribute to the greatest game - nay religion - of them all. With a runtime nearly as long as a Test Match, the boys delve into Australia’s national pastime and ask the impossible: How did Ludo sum up a global sport, in under 7mins? You better believe there is recounting of past sporting-glories and failures, shout outs to the greats, accusations of ball-tampering and all manner of good-natured sledging. Our apologies to the non-cricket playing listeners as we go hard on the references that are simply a part of how we speak. Plus maybe a few tweaks to our regular editing process to help set the mood (Blame Frank). Because on Boxing Day, you'll know where to find us at the MCG...

11/29/23 • 91:52

In an episode with literal ups and downs, we feature tonally different vibes, geo-politics and some classic kids books. Was it all part of Bandits master plan - or did he “Just do up his shoe”? How does Stranger Things fit into this and how can Brendan tenuously link it to Indiana Jones? Check out our socials for some amazing AI generated art that is very For Real Life!  https://www.facebook.com/hammerbarnprojhttps://twitter.com/hammerbarnprojhttps://www.instagram.com/hammerbarn_project/

11/8/23 • 50:50

Is Marty a Robot? Is Bob Bilby real? Is Brendan a Thief? Is Outkast's song a certified banger? Who wants some Woofles? Is this the best *adult* joke in the whole series? What colour tape is best? Does the garage exist outside of time and space? All this and more, after a word from our sponsor: The Muppets! 

10/27/23 • 54:05

We’re back! And it’s about time for a musical intro – but you might be surprised at who the performer is... Lots of rolled up newspaper in this one as we explore the themes and lessons aimed at both kid and adult. Simpsons references are followed by the creation of the Brenny Decimal System. Both are wildly inefficient, yet entertaining. There’s some Magic in the air – but is that a good thing? I tell ya what’s not good : Brendan's worst pun to date. DO NOT CLAP IT!  

10/10/23 • 52:02

*Deep Inhale* Ok - lets do this. 

9/5/23 • 56:32

There’s an aggressive Columbian Drug lord – and her name is Agatha. She is feared throughout the land for her curtain destroying powers. But it’s not as destroyed as Frank’s back lawn. Has Brendan given up? Did we witness a sneaky cameo of Wintons Mum? There are 5 minute timers, sunroof mishaps and 2000 brown M&Ms. Even an email that might just be the perfect piece of international correspondence. First you get the car, then you get the milk, then – you get the curtains.

8/22/23 • 45:33

Golly Gosh – these intros are somehow getting worse. But there’s always Pasito and an ultra-consistent Marty. Local sponsorship in the wings? Lots Dad-bod jokes to be made here. Why is Brenny’s dad bald – listen to find out. Frank gets frustrated at a reoccurring joke… Some interesting camera techniques and tricks in this episode – suspend that disbelief people! Which kind of sibling are you? The stick in the mud or the care-free type? Find out Naomi’s new nick-name and more in this tangent-filled episode.   Check out the ultimate Hooray Super-Cut and some equally wonderful artwork too. 

7/31/23 • 48:54

Just when you thought we'd run out of Arnie movies, Marty hunts the big game. It's a fast paced episode so Frank gets right to it: Who the Real Star of the show is. There's stories of our own grandads, Hobbit references, the awkward passage of time and even some mis-use of the ding. Inbarks and Blue Credits of course but what bush-bashing adventure would be complete without the ultimate camping watersport: Can-Noooooe! 

7/10/23 • 44:39

A tale as old as time - when the machines rise up against us. But before that, hear how another type of machine interrupted Frank and Marty's holiday... With sci-fi references galore (and yes, Arnie) this ep will have you reaching for the history books and films you should have long ago consumed. Till all are one! (Totally not written by ChatGPT)

6/27/23 • 45:42

For everyone that’s ever moved house - this one is for you! In our disorganised episode ever we ask the hard questions: Can siblings really share THIS well? Is Bandit the comeback king? Which box has all our stuff in it?!?? 

6/12/23 • 39:49

Ceci est la description de l'épisode. It's another international episode where Bandit absolutely steals the show. There's some amazing suss looks, quips and a well-worn phrase book. Frank describes a For Real Life for the ages - it's all a big game of Risk. And Beans. Discothèque.
