Heath Ledger, Chocolate & 90s Nostalgia | Aussie Comedy Podcast

One thing leads to another on this week's episode of The Midlifers!

We begin with a chat about home renovations finally coming to an end, which somehow leads us into a discussion about bidets, colonoscopies and all the glamorous realities of midlife.

In our Food, Glorious Food segment, we're talking all things chocolate. Why do we crave it so much? Has Cadbury changed over the years? And why doesn't chocolate taste quite the same as it did in the 80s, 90s and 2000s?

Then we take a deep dive into the life and career of Australian actor Heath Ledger. From his early days growing up in Perth and appearing in Australian TV shows, through to his unforgettable Oscar-winning performance as the Joker in The Dark Knight, we celebrate the incredible legacy he left behind.
