Tripod, the Australian comedy song trio (Scod, Yon and Gatesy), are offering up their talents to you on a regular basis for free via their weekly Golden Stream podcast on Ustream. What’s more, if you sign in, you can request songs from them and even get involved with their ‘Song in an Hour Challenge’ where they write a song during the show based on suggestions from viewers.

Of course, if you aren’t based in Australia, this may involve staying up until the early hours of the morning, but you can still watch the old shows on Ustream either way (apart from no.3 where they forgot to press record). To see when the next show is look for the 'Upcoming shows' panel at the bottom of the page.

If you need convincing, here’s the second half of Golden Stream 2 featuring the songs ‘Visor King’, 'Hot Dog Man’, ‘Melbourne Girl’ and ‘Hot Girl in the Comic Shop’ (oh, and some trifling technical difficulties):
