Wil Anderson celebrates 300 episodes of his LiSTNR podcast, Wilosophy

Wil Anderson is celebrating as he clocks up the 300th episode of his interview-based podcast, Wilosophy, with all episodes available on LiSTNR.

Wilosophy, which began in 2014, features the Australian comedian asking smart people not so smart questions, all in the hopes of finding the meaning of life. The outcome is conversations that delve deep, resulting in what many guests describe as a bucket list experience.

For the 300th episode, Anderson sat down with American comedian, actor and host of the Never Not Funny podcast, Jimmy Pardo. Reflecting on his experience, Pardo said: “Wil is a genius. He’s one of the funniest guys in the world. This is a very raw Jimmy Pardo. I’m very open and honest on that episode and it was a lot of fun to do.”

As the podcast moves beyond its 300th episode milestone, upcoming Wilosophy conversations will continue to feature popular Australian comics and international acts. Guests include Australian comedians Adam Hills, Mel Buttle, Dave Thornton, Anne Edmonds, The Chaser’s Andrew Hanson, 2Day FM’s Ed Kavalee and Tripod’s Scott Edgar. Also joining Anderson in future episodes is American writer Josh Gondelman, UK comedian Phil Wang and American stand-up, Jackie Kashian.

Reflecting on the longevity of Wilosophy, Anderson said: “I’m sorry. After 300 attempts, we still haven’t figured out the meaning of life. I hope listeners have enjoyed the show anyway.”

LiSTNR original podcasts head of entertainment and culture, Sam Cavanagh, said: “Wil Anderson is a true pioneer of podcasting in Australia, and being a guest on Wilosophy is a rite of passage for many Australian performers. We are ecstatic for Wil to have achieved this milestone and look forward to many, many more Wilosophy conversations.”

The 300th episode of Wilosophy and the show's complete back catalogue is available here.
