**Nominated for 'Best Comedy' at the Australian Podcast Awards 2018 & 2019**

Have you ever wondered if it’s acceptable to bring food to someone's house and take it back home if no one has eaten it? Well if you have, then you’re in good company. Christian, Dion and Josh are Welcome to Patchwork: An Australian comedy podcast that thinks too hard about the monotony of life. By debating the obvious, challenging social conventions and improvising sketches, we're more concerned with the crumbs than the cookie.

Patch #126 - Are You Ever Obliged To Give Up A Parking Spot?

April 16, 2024 17:30 - 40 minutes - 37.1 MB

Christian found a fantastic parking spot opposite the church at his nephew’s christening but isn’t sure whether the spot should be reserved for immediate family. Dion quickly finds a parallel to another moment Christian found a premium parking spot on the day of his auction. Does the finders keepers rule apply to parking spots? Or should you be considerate of those who may need to spot more than you?  We then ponder, why do humans refrain from stealing those enormous mounds of gravel and mu...

Patch #125 - Do You Confidently Slice Food In Half?

April 02, 2024 16:30 - 43 minutes - 39.6 MB

Christian has finally found the elderly neighbours he’s been looking for and, typically, they came in the form of a bowl of tomatoes. Dion questions the neighbours' motives and warns Christian by recounting the parable of his neighbour in sheep’s clothing. We then chat about rubbish collection and Josh laments finding a mystery coffee cup at the bottom of your freshly emptied bin.  Are you confident when cutting food in half? Are you worried about the dreaded ‘bigger half’? Does a muffin de...

Patch #124 - How Should You Subtly Glance At Someone?

March 19, 2024 16:30 - 41 minutes - 37.8 MB

Ohhhhh wow! We're back from 7 months off and we're out of practice. We kick off by recalling a micro highlight from our trips abroad: Christian visited a Christian themed amusement park, Dion visited a capybara themed amusement park for ducks and Josh watched a man interact with natural history.  Christian starts the episode proper by lamenting his ability to casually organise an event. Are you someone who can casually put together an event and be fine not knowing who is coming and when? If...

Goodbye...for now

August 01, 2023 17:30 - 2 minutes - 2.22 MB

Dearest Patchworkers, we're taking a bit of a break. Christian is doing some extended travel so there won't be regular releases for pretty much the rest of the year. We can't thank you enough for your support over the last 6 years. Looking forward to being back in your favourite podcatcher sometime again in the future. But for the moment, it's goodbye. Big hugs and three loud kisses oxxx Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/welcometopatchwork See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy i...

Patch #123 - How Should You Kill Time At A Chemist?

July 18, 2023 17:30 - 46 minutes - 42.4 MB

Christian receives a mysterious hand gesture from a concerned citizen but manages to decipher it.  We also ponder the age old question - what's the difference between 'tips' and 'advice'? Christian's psych definitely got it wrong when asked about travel tips. This conversation devolves into Christian and Dion bullying Josh for having the audacity to talk to his friends about things that he is passionate about.  Dion tells us his strategies for picking an aisle when he needs to traverse thr...

Patch #122 - Is It Rude To Text Someone During A Speech?

July 04, 2023 17:30 - 41 minutes - 37.9 MB

Christian questions whether Josh can sell his abandoned basketball for profit. He's simply a man looking for answers.  Josh's comedy group Game Boys won a freakin Green Room Award! So we discuss what genuine surprises we still have in life and if it's rude to send messages and be on social media during a speech.  Finally Christian tells the longwided story of an old man bumping him on the train. Do we give elderly people too much of a pass these days? Both Josh and Dion also have some tale...

Patch #121 - Are You Easily Embarrassed In Public?

June 20, 2023 17:30 - 43 minutes - 39.6 MB

Christian and Josh open this episode with a rather frank discussion about the many hairstyles of the artist P!NK. We explore the unspoken bravery of dying her hair blonde and her notoriety in Australia. Christian then finds a subtle way to tell Josh he's balding and shouldn't colour his hair.  Josh then tells us about his new job delivering groceries and the torture of having to relearn how to drive a manual (Emmanuel). Do you judge people who struggle to park? Are you an anxious driver? Is...

Patch #120 - Do You Shake Hands With Friends?

June 06, 2023 17:30 - 43 minutes - 40.3 MB

Josh hosted another party and this time he's taking aim at those partygoers who take other people's drinks. Is it expected that the host will supply drinks? Should you be precious about the drinks you bring to a party?  Dion then asks Christian and Josh for the right context in which a handshake is the right greeting? Is there a more appropriate embrace for a friend? Do you feel comfortable hugging a stranger? We then ask the big question, why do we need the shake in handshake? Christian t...

Patch #119 - Should You Wait For Others Before Eating?

May 23, 2023 17:00 - 40 minutes - 37.5 MB

We’re back, again! Jeez, we spend a lot time not recording this podcast. Anyway, you get what you’re given. If you want more, become a Patreon! This Patch opens with Dion telling us about his recent trip to Texas and a close call with a tornado. We then discuss people who think they’re cool for not liking nature and using TikTok to follow live events. Christian then recalls a time that he went for dinner with a couple of friends who refused to start eating until his meal arrived. Is this co...

Patch #118 - Do You Need Total Darkness To Fall Asleep?

April 04, 2023 17:30 - 45 minutes - 42.1 MB

Open wide and come inside! For this Patch, we've each written a new catchphrase that we'll drop into the episode at an appropriate time (and by appropriate time, we mean somewhere in the first 10 minutes because we were all too excited to hold on to them). Christian asks Josh and Dion to be a sounding board about a prank played on his friend's mum. We then wonder, who are pranks for? Are they ever funny? Is a prank just 'accessible bullying'? Josh tries to find an example of a harmless, goo...

Patch #117 - Do You Make New Plans After An Event Is Cancelled?

March 21, 2023 16:30 - 42 minutes - 38.7 MB

Josh is woken up by the incessant banging of some tradesmen and Christian and Dion wonder whether this could be improving Josh's life. We then discuss why tradies need to start work so early? Christian then tells Josh and Dion about feeling relief about an upcoming event being cancelled. He sees the night now as 'free' and able to be reclaimed as a night off - Josh and Dion think the right course of action is to plan a different night out with the same group who would have attended the even...

Patch #116 - How Much Finger Food Can You Take From A Tray?

March 07, 2023 16:30 - 37 minutes - 34.3 MB

Josh calls out Dion for asking a friend to hotspot internet so he could top up his phone credit, Dion vehemently tries to defend himself by revealing that he actually purchased his sim card from a supermarket. It becomes clear that no one is right and we've wasted each others time and energy; much like all the Welcome to Patchwork episodes. Christian went to his cousin's 30th and his only take away from the evening was, how long can you make someone holding a platter wait while you take foo...

Patch #115 - How Do You Find The Toilet In A Restaurant?

February 21, 2023 16:30 - 39 minutes - 35.9 MB

Christian kicks off this episode by wishing himself an early happy birthday and then asks Dion and Josh how they feel about receiving 'happy birthday' messages before their actual birthday. Does receiving an early birthday message change the sentiment? Or is it the same as receiving it on the day?  Are you annoyed when someone asks you where the toilets are in a restaurant? This is what Christian confronted Josh with at the Patchwork Christmas Party. What is your system for finding toilets ...

Patch #114 - When Do You Save Someone As A Contact?

February 07, 2023 16:30 - 35 minutes - 32.2 MB

We're back for Season 8 baby! To kick it all off, Christian takes aim at Josh for giving him 1 hour to confirm he was available for a catchup before making other plans. Josh tell us about his frustration at some unsaved numbers in a friendly WhatsApp thread which leads us to ask - when should you add someone as a contact in your phone? What makes a person worthy of contact status? After exploring what the threshold is for saving them, we then look at what makes us delete a number from our p...

Patch #113 - How To Handle The Heat

January 24, 2023 16:30 - 38 minutes - 35 MB

As summer heats up (or you're listening to this in winter and have got the heater on really high), it's time we taught you how to beat the heat! We start by talking about the moment we 'know summer has arrived', the ozone layer and how we fixed the whole CFC thing?!! Right? Dion then takes us through UV ratings, we talk methods for applying sunscreen and asking people to rub sunscreen into your back. We then look at the factors that inform how we dress on a warm day, looking for the perfect...

Patch #112 - How To Go Grocery Shopping

December 06, 2022 16:30 - 39 minutes - 35.8 MB

Grab a handful of canvas bags and a gold coin because Welcome to Patchwork is teaching you how to go grocery shopping. What prompts you to go grocery shopping? How do you manage your shopping list? What's your shopping strategy once you step foot inside the supermarket? If you lose the person you're with, how do you find them? Should you ever shop on an empty stomach? This Patch is full of big questions with tiny answers. In fact, the answers are so small you can barely hear them. What you ...

Patch #111 - How To Recycle

November 22, 2022 16:30 - 39 minutes - 36.5 MB

In Patch 111, we rip the sticky tape off our cardboard packaging and chat all things recycling. We begin by asking ourselves why we recycle. Is it for the environment? Or is it to avoid the scorn of others? We explore why Josh goes through his housemate's rubbish, the magic and mystery of where our rubbish goes and the history of our attitude towards recycling. We then shift gears and talk about buying and selling secondhand goods, product lifecycles, the necessary inclusions of an online a...

Patch #110 - How To Wait In A Line

November 08, 2022 16:30 - 42 minutes - 39.4 MB

In Patch 110, we cloak our jackets, skip the queue and talk all things waiting in line. We start by exploring each of our first instincts when approaching a line. Josh establishes the core types of line: single, mess and multi-stream, whilst Christian declares himself a Line Captain. Is Dion cutthroat? Does he call out a line cutter? We discuss some of the best, worst and most embarrassing lines. Josh flips the narrative and tells us about his experience as a cowboy bartender who needs to w...

Patch #109 - How To Declutter Your Home

October 25, 2022 16:30 - 41 minutes - 37.7 MB

In Patch 109, we roll around in the mud, feed from the trough and eventually discuss all things clutter and collectibles.   We start by exploring how to best hide clutter in your very own home. Whether it's in piles, hidden in storage containers or blocking a robot vacuum, our clutter manifests in very different forms. But what even is a pile? And what is a container, if not simply a place to store your piles. We then dive into sentimental clutter. Can it ever be thrown out given the memor...

Patch #108 - How To Send A Text Message

October 11, 2022 16:30 - 44 minutes - 40.9 MB

BUMP! In Patch 108, we make sure our phone credit is topped up as we step into the world of text messaging.   Josh encourages Christian and Dion to become cryptographers as we try to text-spell famous abbreviations; we dissect swiping on a keyboard and many other methods for typing; Christian admires how young people use their phones; Josh encourages us to soften our tone; Christian wonders when he should abandon hope for a response to a text message and Dion tries to uncover the best way ...

Patch #107 - How To Get Dressed For The Day

September 27, 2022 17:30 - 35 minutes - 32.4 MB

From preparing the night before to cuffing your sleeves, Patch 107 covers the gamut of a morning dress up routine. Josh talks us through the first thing he does in the morning before putting on clothes; Christian explores the relationship between wearing nice clothes and being productive and Dion explains why he wears an elastic band as a bracelet. Josh stuns us with the structures and systems he has implemented in his life, Christian explores his 7-day cycle and Dion begs us to consider the...

Patch #106 - How To Enjoy A Flight

September 13, 2022 17:30 - 34 minutes - 32 MB

Please keep your seatbelts fastened for Patch 106 as we teach you how to enjoy a flight!   We start by covering what we pack in our carry on: Josh is obsessed with charging his devices, Dion has an interesting kind of neck pillow and Christian reflects on a magical moment with a reclining Italian man. We then look at what we first do to settle into the flight: where do you put your feet? do you think about what films you'll watch? We also discuss how much water we drink during the flight a...

Patch #105 - How To Choose A Restaurant

August 30, 2022 17:30 - 36 minutes - 33.7 MB

We all enjoy eating at restaurants. But have you ever really thought about how or why we choose those restaurants? In this Patch, we dive into some of the key considerations that go into picking a restaurant. Are you swayed by spruikers throwing in a glass of wine? Will you pick a 'feed me' option? Do you care about the name of the restaurant? In this episode, Josh expresses his love for menus stuck to the front window of a restaurant, Christian vents about the 'please wait to be seated' sig...

Patch #104 - How To Open A Door

August 16, 2022 17:30 - 48 minutes - 44.4 MB

We navigate the difficult questions and considerations around walking through doors. First door in our line of sight is the revolving door. After dissecting some of the nuances of entering one of the revolving door 'slices', we look at some of the other classic doors: sliding doors, fly-screens, car doors, van doors and the enigmatic turnstiles and plastic strips at the front of milkbars. After talking about our favourite types of doors, we move onto key chains and the keys you carry. Finall...

Patch #103 - How To Enjoy Your Birthday

August 02, 2022 17:50 - 44 minutes - 40.8 MB

Should you wish someone happy birthday in a group thread if you've already wished them happy birthday in your own separate thread. We also ponder what questions you should ask someone on their birthday. Plus Christian reveals how many of his childhood birthdays were spent at Crown: A World of Entertainment.

Quick Update & Planning For Season 7

After months of radio silence, Christian, Dion and Josh are on the mend and ready to return.   We wanted to record a quick update to let you know what we've been up to the last few months and our plans to return for Season 7.   Thank you for holding down the fort. We're back!... That is our seat though. Yeah. The one you're sitting on. Yeah. We were sitting on it just before we left.

Patch #99 - When Is It Appropriate To Compliment A Stranger?

March 08, 2022 17:00 - 36 minutes - 33.6 MB

Christian received a wonderful compliment while riding his bike and he was thoroughly chuffed. He tells us about how chuffed he was. Megachuffed.   Josh has big issues with message reactions. What was wrong with a good 'haha' or a 'lol' - there's too many options now and it's an absolute disgrace. Does reacting to a message signify simple acknowldgement or is it rude and dismissive?   We also discuss if you should always go and visit a friends 'new place' and what you're looking out for ...

Patch #98 - How Generously Should You Spread Butter On Toast?

February 22, 2022 17:00 - 36 minutes - 33.3 MB

Josh wonders why Christian and Dion chose to print their name while signing the pair of elf slippers ew auctioned off. Turns out Christian would rather get a celebrity print their name rather than sign it.   We all agree that shopping centre interactive maps are very confronting and give you a false sense of security until you instantly get lost at the corner of the National Geogrpahic and JB Hi-Fi wondering if you were meant to turn right or turn due South.   It's Dion's turn for 'Good ...

Patch #97 - Would You Accept A Reward For Finding A Lost Pet?

February 08, 2022 17:00 - 37 minutes - 34.8 MB

Josh attempts (and fails) to set the record straight about drinking Dion's beer - turns out he's technically correct, the best kind of correct, but morally bankrupt. Christian's shares his latest get rich quick scheme which is pet-napping. We also realise that losing your wallet isn't anywhere near as bad as it once was.   Dion discovers that his work colleague owns the same pair of shoes that he does and he is filled with shame and regret. He is also the only one of us to have experienced...

Patch #96 - Is It Uncool To Plan An Overseas Trip In A Spreadsheet?

January 25, 2022 16:00 - 30 minutes - 28 MB

We're back baby! With a very special announcement and some classic Patchwork. There's bones to be picked and befores to get started.   Christian takes issue with Josh trying to sell some Elf Slippers online which spirals into some hairbrained scheme of Christian's to list brand new clothes online the day he buys them.   We also dive deep into what things make us feel cool and also uncool. One universal truth we seem to land on that there is something particularly cool about sunglasses. ...

Patch #95 - A Very Patchwork Christmas 2021

December 21, 2021 17:00 - 37 minutes - 34.3 MB

Merry Christmas Patchworkers! In our annual Christmas episode we cover the Christmas menu. How fixed is your families Christmas menu? Do new dishes ever make it on? Christian has been trying (and failing) to add vegan dishes to his heavily Italian Christmas to no avail. Maybe 2021 will be the year.   Christian also lays down his patented 'Gift Giving Guide' - it's all you'll ever need to figure out what to buy someone for any occasion.   There's also a visit from Santa and a very special...

Patch #94 - How Urgently Do You Fill Up A Low Petrol Tank?

December 14, 2021 17:00 - 39 minutes - 35.8 MB

There's yet another twist to the saga of Samantha the turtle! Let's hope Josh stops milking a lost turtle for content, after this week.   We find out who among us holds the record for 'most times car has completely run out of petrol' and how lazy they are. We fully cover our strategies for filling our tanks including some more life hacks from Dion's dad.   We also try out a new segment called 'Good at, Bad at'. Josh is up this week and we explore how useless he is with interior decoratin...

Patch #93 - What’s The Furthest You’d Walk To An Event?

November 30, 2021 17:00 - 33 minutes - 30.3 MB

Turns out that Dion hates a meandering walk but Christian and Josh love to go for a trot - conversation ensues. We find out our limits for how far we're willing to walk and under what conditions. Christian also reveals something shocking about his feet.   We also take a trip to the tuck shop and reminisce about our old tuck shop orders and most likely what we'd order now as adults.   Josh gives us an update on the Turtle saga for those who followed that story on our instagram.   With v...

What’s The Furthest You’d Walk To An Event?

November 30, 2021 17:00 - 33 minutes - 30.2 MB

Turns out that Dion hates a meandering walk but Christian and Josh love to go for a trot - conversation ensues. We find out our limits for how far we're willing to walk and under what conditions. Christian also reveals something shocking about his feet. We also take a trip to the tuck shop and reminisce about our old tuck shop orders and most likely what we'd order now as adults.

Patch #92 - How Should You Pass The Time Whilst Waiting For A Food Delivery?

November 16, 2021 17:00 - 32 minutes - 29.7 MB

We discuss if it's ok to simply hang up a phone call while it's ringing, or if you should let it ring out to be polite. Christian thinks that under no circumstance can you hang up and he takes us through his '4 ring classification system'. We also delve into what kind of activities are permitted to be undertaken while waiting for your food delivery to arrive. Dion apparently loves to do a bit of a backyard prune!   Josh also delivers the second part of his story about Kamahl. This installm...

Patch #91 - How I Became Friends With Kamahl

November 02, 2021 16:00 - 33 minutes - 31.1 MB

Christian picks a bone with Josh's tuneless whistling. We discuss what we've been up to since lockdown has lifted here in Melbourne. Number one post lockdown activity on Dion's list was a hair cut - is that weird? I rekon it's a bit weird. Christian is desperate to get into a store and sit on a couch as he seeks to furnish his new place and Josh just wants to do the boring thing of 'socialising' - what a commie bastard!   Josh also regales us with the story of how he became friends with Ka...

Patch #90 - Are You Ever The First Person To Clap?

October 19, 2021 16:00 - 36 minutes - 33.1 MB

How confident are you in being that first person to put their hands together at the end of a performance? It's a big risk, what if you get it wrong? They'll boo you out of the theatre, probably. We also critique those pointless empty gestures like pretending to pick something up that's fallen over when you have absolutely no intetion at all to follow through. Why would you bend over like a chump when someone else will, and by faking it you still get credit for trying. Just don't pause and ho...

Patch #89 - Should You Peel The Foil Entirely Off A Dip?

October 05, 2021 16:00 - 36 minutes - 33.6 MB

We talk animal shelters, flat tyres and delivery estimate etiquette. Josh clumisly wades into dog eugenics while Christian can't stop talking about sexy dogs.   We also go deep on dip. Should the foil stay or go once the seal has been broken? We just can't decide, what do you rekon? We also discover that Dion has shocking sour cream application technique.   With very special guests 'Wheel of Fortune Cookie' and 'Really Good'.   Josh's 'Game Boys' Melbourne Fringe show 'Hey Hey It's Loc...

Patch #88 - What Turns A Catch-Up Into A Night Out?

September 21, 2021 17:00 - 37 minutes - 34.8 MB

"The boys are back in town, the boys are back in towwwnnnn." *sung to the tune of "Boys Are Back In Town".   While we've been hating our lives in lockdown, Dion's been gardening and ruminating on what could've been if he'd ever got a job at Bunnings. We give some advice to a Patreon in need whose housemate is taking way too much credit for recommending she try oat milk. We also tackle the age old question of what is required for an evening to be considered a 'night out' rather than just a ...

September 16, 2021 04:33 - 5 minutes - 5.13 MB

Hello Patchworkers, it's been too long! Sorry for not communicating clearly with you as to what's been going on with the show.

Patch #87 - Do You Need To Leave A Light On When Someone Leaves The House?

August 03, 2021 17:00 - 33 minutes - 30.8 MB

'What is the purpose of the front porch light if not to be left on for members of the household currently out of the house!?' says Josh indignantly during this episode. He's sick of fumbling with his keys while Christian sits inside laughing at how much electricity he's saving. The trio also ponder what's required of both parties when someone turns up to your house before you're ready. We also settle on our dream jobs if we were to have lived back in the Wild West in a frontier town and tak...

Patch #86 - What Is A Reasonable Reaction To Seeing A Mouse?

July 20, 2021 17:00 - 29 minutes - 26.8 MB

What is the etiquette surrounding after hours emails? Is there such a thing as an over-enthusiastic active listener? And Dion is shocked by Christian and Josh's reaction to seeing a mouse in their house - you won't believe what he says!  With very special guests 'Sound Check and of course 'Really Good'.
