The Cud

| No comment
Chew the cud, they say, and so I did – and what a tasty treat.

The Cud is a mix of many things, presented with generous helpings of intelligence, garnished with a dash of sarcasm and a sprinkling of humour.

It’s great for those who’d like to have informed opinions into current issues and events, for those looking for an alternative to the everyday online banter, and for those who like to say it like it is. To me, The Cud is a straight-up, honest telling of what’s going on.

Whether arts, culture, politics, sports, travel or (as they say) a ‘spirited rant’ about whatever’s nagging your conscience, there is a space for it all. Written as free-form articles and opinion pieces, The Cud has continuously sought to challenge pre-conceived notions, unpick mainstream views, and lend a space for different types of voices. 

Personally I love the political essays, the cartoons and the short fiction. The essays are analytical pieces on socio-political matters shaping the world; the cartoons are edgy and revealing; and the fiction is original, creative and well-written.
Food for thought?!
The Cud recently celebrated six years, so congratulations are in order to its editors and writers for keeping their heads above those ‘world wide waters.’ In a time when so many online ventures fail so quickly and so abysmally, they are a comforting and encouraging presence that tell us the good fight for an engaging and meaningful online presence is on and thriving.

Rid yourself of those teething issues, by chewing on The Cud at www.thecud.com.au
