  • Really like this podcast

    Great guests, always informative cos I learn a lot. Matt’s interview style is fabulous, a great listener, asks the questions I’d like to ask his guests, plays devil’s advocate to get more out of them. I just hope his view on Albanese has changed in the last couple of weeks though, definitely not likeable.

  • Terrific and thoughtful interviews

    I find a lot of podcasts all want to interview the same people but Discernable seems to get actual real people to share their stories in a super interesting way.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

'Medicine Committed Dietary Fraud' with Dr Peter Brukner
Q: What about GLP-1 drugs? Do they have a role?
They can be effective for certain patients, especially morbid obesity with uncontrolled diabetes, but rely on injections, have side effects, and may not sustain weight loss after withdrawal; the goal is to use them as a bridge to lasting dietary change rather than a permanent solution.
Confirmed: Evidence of Biological Engineering and Novel Clotting with Dr Kevin McCairn
Q: What is the potential risk if someone needs a blood transfusion after being exposed to the vaccines?
There is a risk that the blood supply may be tainted due to the presence of spike protein linked to the vaccines.
Australian Nuclear Energy with Dr Mark Ho
Q: What does the future of nuclear power look like in Australia?
Although Dr. Ho hopes for a lifting of the nuclear power ban, he acknowledges that it largely depends on politics, but the global trends towards nuclear energy seem encouraging.
Australian Nuclear Energy with Dr Mark Ho
Q: How does the nuclear industry compare to the mining industry in terms of profitability?
Currently, the profitability of the nuclear industry is less visibly quantifiable compared to the mining industry, as it's more about the well-being of Australians through nuclear medicines rather than monetary profit.
Breaking Ranks with Victoria Police - Retired Detective Joe Noonan
Q: What advice would you give to someone considering a career in law enforcement?
Don't join the police force due to the risks and challenges, even if the excitement is what draws you in.
