Mondo Thingo

Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates Template:Use Australian English Template:Infobox television Mondo Thingo was an Australian pop culture television show which aired for 37 episodes on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation in 2004.

The show was presented by Amanda Keller, with regular appearances by Steve Cannane and Robbie Buck (from the ABC's Triple J radio station). The series irreverently covered elements of popular culture, including movies, music, internet, fashion and marketing – or in Keller's words, "the soft underbelly of pop culture".<ref>Beck, Chris: Keller confides, The Age, 5 August 2004.</ref>

The program was generally well received by viewers, but critical opinion was somewhat polarised: a Sydney Morning Herald team compiling the newspaper's 2004 "Couch Potato" Awards was divided between those who found the program annoying, and those who found it well-written and entertaining.<ref>Mash Hits, The Sydney Morning Herald, 13 December 2004.</ref> Some critics also decried that several of the ABC's arts programs were axed to make way for broader, more populist material such as Mondo Thingo.<ref>Gibson, Joel: Cultural cringe: ABC accused of failing its charter, The Sydney Morning Herald, 5 April 2004.</ref>
