Comedy troupe Sooshi Mango join LiSTNR with new podcast

Australian comedy troupe Sooshi Mango has joined LiSTNR with the group’s Sooshi Mango Saucy Meatballs Podcast. The brand-new second season, and the podcast’s back catalogue, are now available on LiSTNR.

Created by Joe Salanitri, Carlo Salanitri and Andrew Manfre, Sooshi Mango has experienced a meteoric rise in Australian comedy. The trio is best known for its comedy skits, live shows, videos and personal take on hot-button topics.

The group has more than 600 million online views of its video skits, almost 800,000 TikTok followers, enjoys sell-out live performances, is celebrating the runaway success of the group’s first music track and is about to launch a restaurant in Australia’s Italian restaurant capital, Lygon Street, Carlton.

Despite its title, the Sooshi Mango Saucy Meatballs Podcast, is not about meatballs. The podcast features a mixture of special guests, comedy segments, prank calls and the trio’s take on current issues and modern life.

Previous podcast guests have included former Prime Minister Scott Morrison, Carlton Football Club legends Kouta and Ang Christou, Triple M’s Mick Molloy, American YouTuber Joe Santagato, professional boxer Tim Tszyu, actress Mary Coustas, comedian Troy Kinne and TV personality Eddie McGuire.

In the first episode of the podcast’s new season, the boys try to have their new song Tarantella added to the Hit Network’s playlist by contacting the network’s music director, plus they reflect on their first-ever show in Dubai, and breakdown their struggles with confusing phrases used by Gen Z including how to correctly use the term ‘bussin’.

Carlo, Joe and Andrew said: "We're thrilled to be able to reach a wider audience and are looking forward to bringing a little bit of our saucy meatballs to the LiSTNR community.” 

LiSTNR original podcasts head of entertainment and culture, Sam Cavanagh, said: “Sooshi Mango is a comedy smash hit and we’re excited to welcome them to LiSTNR’s extensive roll call of Australian comedy podcasts. We’ve been fans of their work for years and are impressed by their huge fan base, who we know will love hearing the boys on LiSTNR and beyond.”

Season two of the Sooshi Mango Saucy Meatballs Podcast is available now on LiSTNR and new episodes are published every Monday.
