AdeLOL is a "Heaps Good History" podcast exploring South Australia's unique, and often hilarious, past. Each episode Dan and Tom get together and share a story about a piece of SA history, a place, celebrity, icon or event. Neither truly knows what the other is going to bring. Dan is a born and bred South Aussie with a wealth of local memories, whereas Tom moved to Adelaide in 2003 and brings a touch of the outsider perspective.
