Michael Hing & Ben Jenkins·Hosted by Michael Hing and Ben Jenkins·183 episodes

ComedyAustralian comedyCo-hosted banterGuest comediansClassified adsStandalone episodesExplicit humor

Each week, comedians Michael Hing and Ben Jenkins invite their guest to trawl through the classifieds with them, and find the best and worst things to talk about. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Why listen

Free to A Good Home turns online classifieds into a loose, filthy, very Australian comedy hangout. Michael Hing, Ben Jenkins and a rotating guest read bizarre ads, follow ridiculous tangents and treat each listing as a launchpad for improvised stories, dumb hypotheticals and escalating nonsense. It is a strong fit if you like comedian-led banter, recurring in-jokes and a format that feels casual without ever running out of odd material.
