  • Doogue is a Barry Crocker

    ‘Gerry’ (cringe) is right into western exceptionalism and is also a Catholic Church apologist (seriously) She has ego the size of Mt Rushmore but the intellect of a sadly munted Hobbit.

  • Palestine Episode

    I found listening to this episode so frustrating, despite the most violent genocide being carried out by Israel, this episode pointed all fingers at Hamas, who is definitely at fault, but let’s not dress up a wolf and call it a sheep.

    Israel is killing the Palestinians.

    How about you guys do an episode and actually discuss the real events of this genocide, the continuous disregard of international law, and the lack of accountability of Israel. Let’s talk about the dehumanisation of the Palestin... more

  • Oren Cass interview

    I found the interview with Oren Cass fascinating. Not because of his highly dismissive and patronising responses but because you both asked compelling questions that he just couldn’t cope with. Great work!

How Australia’s Army Chief is preparing us for the next war
Q: Do you think it's less likely to happen again?
Yes, I do. I'm very proud to lead an institution that owns its failures, that deals with them as they are, and is committed to doing better and learning from our past.
How Australia’s Army Chief is preparing us for the next war
Q: What would you say to a listener that is hearing you and says, well, if it were China, there's not really anything we could do?
While we rely on our alliance with the United States, collective security and working with our partners around the region give us agency and strength.
How Australia’s Army Chief is preparing us for the next war
Q: Do you think Australians broadly understand what it is that might confront us in the decades ahead?
The aim of your Army today is very firmly fixated on deterring a war from ever happening, and we must understand the risks and consequences of contemporary threats.
It's Xi's World Now, and We're All Just Living In It
Q: Is this a genuine shift towards a new global order with Beijing at the center?
While Einar acknowledges that China is taking a front seat, he argues that the dynamics are not solely due to Xi but because of Trump's unpredictability in foreign policy.
It's Xi's World Now, and We're All Just Living In It
Q: What is it that we've just witnessed? Is this the end of US hegemony?
Einar suggests that Donald Trump's policies have accelerated the end of US dominance, positioning Xi Jinping as a potential global leader with a clear stand against hegemonism.
