Hump Day With Scotty And Swanny is one of Australia’s top 20 podcasts.
But yesterday, in the middle of a storm of controversy, the hosts announced they wouldn’t be making any more episodes.
“22 weeks of laughs among ourselves and ppl who chose to listen and be part of it,” the podcast’s Twitter account declared. “Thanks very much everyone. It was fun while it lasted.”

Geez, would you take a look at all these men in the comments excusing this kind of behaviour. FYI - you are the ones we warn each other about. Your attitude is a huge part of the problem.
Cummings also coaches an under 12 football team in Flemington!!
Not sure he's the right fit to be coaching children with the attitudes he holds. Especially young boys.
Yeah, he’s history’s greatest monster...
No one is suggesting that. But he doesn't deserve a public platform if he thinks this sort of commentary is acceptable. And, if you think it's okay, there's something wrong with you, too.
Conflating again, I see.
So are we going to go through every joke every guy has ever said, assess if we now approve, and if we don't, demand they be terminated from their employment?
