The Agony of Life

Last time our Agony Aunts and Uncles took us through the cycle of love. It was confessional, illuminating, inappropriate and wrong. This time, narrator/interviewer Adam Zwar gets the band back together, with some elite additions, to bring you The Agony of Life.

No stone will be left unturned as Australia's funniest and brightest take us through the most important stages of existence - from child to adult, to creating and supporting families, to building and managing careers. And what after that? Should we sit on a hill and contemplate the wording of our epitaph, or travel the world? The good news is we don't need to worry about that because the Aunts and Uncles will be doing the worrying for us.

The Agony of Life: Family

Not all of our Aunts and Uncles have children, but each of them has opinions on how they should be brought up. This episode starts with our pundits musing on whether people should require a license to breed and what annoys them most about the way some parents raise their kids. They'll then move on to the benefits of having children versus the benefits of not having them, and their greatest ever parenting successes and disasters.

The Agony of Life: Career

Career and career-legacy is something that dominates our thinking and our Aunts and Uncles are successful enough to tell you how to have a fulfilling career, remain calm under pressure and maintain a sensible work-life balance. But what about the more difficult questions of how to keep your dignity when sacked, reach the top without screwing other people over and surviving a workplace or public scandal with as much grace as possible?

So you're thinking of winding down on the work front, but have you achieved everything you wanted to achieve in your career, what will be your legacy, and do you have regrets or is it important to regret nothing?

The Agony of Life: The Final Frontier

It's a subject few people want to face up to, but our Aunts and Uncles are made of sterner stuff. Here they negotiate the final frontier and, on behalf of us all, answer the big questions of life; what are they most proud of, what's their biggest disappointment, is death to be feared or embraced, what happens to us after we die, and, in a perfect world, what would they like their last words to be?
