The Hit Network’s ‘The Jimmy & Nath Show’ have just launched podcast series, Born Funny, on LiSTNR.

Hosted by lovable larrikins, Jimmy Smith and Nath Roye, in the podcast the best mates talk to comedy content creators and personalities to ask the question: “Are you born funny?”

The conversations are described as loose and lighthearted like a chat with a mate at the pub, but also raw and vulnerable - listeners will discover that being funny isn’t always an easy journey full of punch lines.

From hilarious to sometimes heartbreaking, guests reflect on their lives and experiences that have shaped their successful comedic careers with leading names in Australian comedy jumping on for the ride including 2DayFM’s Dave ‘Hughesy’ Hughes, 101.9 The Fox’s Nick Cody, Geraldine Hickey, Luke McGregor, Cal Wilson, Gen Fricker and LiSTNR’s Aunty Donna, and Matt Okine.

Jimmy and Nath have spent more than ten years honing their radio craft, bringing laugh out loud content to listeners. Hosting the Hit Network’s Late Nights and Weekend Breakfast shifts, The Jimmy & Nath Show showcases the boys’ laid-back style mixed with clever and incisive observations, and their enormous hearts.

The radio-turned-podcast hosts say they are surrounded by funny people all the time, and now they want to get down to brass tacks to find out “where their funny actually came from”.
