  • Summary

  • Please note: contains strong language and adult content.

    It’s 2041. The Earth is under the control of the benevolent ‘Corporation’ and time travel is not only possible but affordable for the common worker drone - sorry, person! Free with the purchase of the Timeslide 9000 machine, The Time Traveller’s Guide to Not Dying is an audio instruction manual designed to help owners choose which exciting historical moments to visit. It teaches them about where they’re going, who they will meet, and what to eat. As part of his parole agreement, Charlie Pickering anchors the guide, using his encyclopedic brain to fill us in on the places that time travel correspondents, Natasha and Toby, find themselves dispatched to. Between them, the pair of intrepid reporters storm the barricades at the French Revolution, get chatted up by JFK during the Cold War, and tried as a witch at Salem. Along the way, they try really hard to not get killed. 

    Written by Charlie Pickering, James Colley, Rob Hunter and Cait Johnson. Produced by Guesswork Television.

    Performed by Charlie Pickering, Frank Woodley, Claire Hooper, Aleisha McCormack, Damien Fotiou, Odette Joannidis, Adam Crouch, Wendy Bos, Tony Briggs, Danny McGinlay, Xavier Michaelides and Karla Arnall.

    Natasha is on the luxury tour of Renaissance Italy, meeting the greatest artists, the most ruthless Popes and mighty Medicis - the fathers of capitalism.

Hilarious!

Loved it! Great Voice Actors!
Hilariously funny in their delivery.
Very cleverly written script using every comedic technique to their advantage.
Hope you have one for Canada's 1812 and maybe one of Hitler and WWII? yeah, sure to be controversial but; you got to break some eggs to make an omelette!? Right?

Loved the concept, the humour and the reading. Fun to listen to, yet still engaging and informative.

Aussie style - great comedy

It had me laughing out loud! The performance by "Charlie" was spot-on and had me in stitches with his hilarious observations and witty commentary. The humor was clever and well-timed. I highly recommend this audiobook to anyone looking for a good laugh and a break from the stresses of everyday life. The narration was excellent and added to the overall enjoyment of the experience. A must-listen for any comedy fan!

Comedic post-modern satirical history lessons

I loved this. I laughed out loud (awesome when listening on headphones) and was sad when I tore through the entire available season in a day. More, please!

The story and everything’s else is very good and I must say that I liked the last episode best!

Poor

Billed as comedy. It’s neither funny nor informative. Don’t waste your time. Really. Don’t. Waste. Your. Time.
