The Carnival welcomes promising young author Ellie Murray.


Ever find yourself wondering what’s next? That’s the whole point of Carnival of Randomness. Each episode is a genuine surprise, even to us. We don’t follow a plan or a theme, which means one conversation might dive into the bizarre history of a forgotten snack food, while the next could unravel the tangled logic of a terrible movie we just watched. It’s a comedy podcast built on the idea that the most interesting discussions are the ones you never see coming. You’ll hear us stumble onto topics, get hilariously sidetracked, and occasionally land on something that feels almost profound-or at least profoundly silly. The adventure is in not knowing, and that’s what makes this show different. We’re just following our curiosity wherever it leads, and we’re inviting you along for the ride. So if you’re tired of predictable formats and crave a podcast that feels like a spontaneous chat with friends, you’ve found it. Tune in to Carnival of Randomness for a weekly dose of unscripted, unfiltered, and completely unexpected conversation.
