  • Summary

  • Please note: contains strong language and adult content.

    From the creators of The Katering Show comes an ordinary workplace comedy set in the most extraordinary place on earth. 

    Maya joins the long-running and much-lauded Bennett Station Adelie Penguin Program as a research assistant in Antarctica. By the time everyone figures out Maya’s completely unqualified for her job it’s too late – the ship is already en route back to Australia and no-one is getting in, or out, of Antarctica until the summer season ends.

    Written by Kate McLennan and Kate McCartney and produced by Guesswork Television in association with OK Great Productions.

    After four weeks roaming the station, Maya joins a group of expeditioners to do their safety training with Kyle out in the field. However, the dangers of the Antarctic continent pale in comparison to the tensions within the group, and within Maya herself.

    It’s finally time for Maya to join Catherine out at the penguin colony. Regarded as 'the Yeti of Pemmican Bay', Catherine cuts an intimidating figure, but Maya is nonetheless determined to get her boss on-side.

Hilarious and touching, I look forward to more!

Kate McLennan and Kate McCartney ought to have a bright career in writing for television - if they can write something as riotously funny as this, imagine what they could do with a big budget and an order for 30 episodes. I can't wait to see or listen to more from this talented crew. Five stars.

Absolutely Loved

I laughed out loud more times than I can count. The quick wit of all the characters was great. Hats off to the comedy timing of everyone that participated. I highly recommend. I was actually bummed that there were only 8 episodes.

Real Chitty Chat About This Podcast

The story is funny, from small chuckles to crying laughing at times. It is unique, sometimes painful reminders about climate change, and very funny. I found the voice actors to be delightful. I like the story, I hope we get more from Kate and Kate.

"I'm dying out of my bum"... So hilariously juvenile and refreshing.

I'm so glad I found this podcast. I love funny audiodramas, but always have a hard time finding good ones, and the ones I do find are never long enough. When I get to the last few of episodes of shows this good, I experience a mild sense of ennui that increases the closer I get to the end. I'm really hoping for a follow up season and other content from the creators, because they have a gift.

Extremely funny story about life in Antarctic

I've enjoyed this story immensely.

The Australian accent made it so more priceless.

I kept bursting out in fits of hysterical laughter while listening - my hubby kept checking on me to ensure I didn't lose the plot completely.

A must listen to story especially during lockdown!!!!

Comedy Excellence

Kate McLennen and Kate McCartney once again afirm their status as comedy royalty in Australia both as writers and performers. Slushy is a fresh, hilarious tale, well written and expertly brought to life by a stellar cast. The two Kates have secondary roles along with other Oz acting royals, while relative newcomers take the more lead characters with as much aplomb as their seasoned cast mates. Having said that it is more of an ensemble piece but you'll get the drift. What an absolute gift Audible. Can't thank you enough. If you have to pay for Slushy, it's worth it! And please share. There's also a message worth noting served with so much humour you won't even realise you've done it.

Happiness in a podcast

Love the Kates and this project didn't disappoint. Easy to follow along, funny and a stellar cast. I saved episodes so it wouldn't be over so quickly!
Please make more episodes. Of this..or only wrong answers.

Great Aussie humour. I didn’t want the story to end.
The Performances were great, so much better than having a story read to you. Thanks
