  • Political lobbying

    Fact. They strategised with the Labor Party during the election campaign. That really bothered me and just feels so manipulative now.

  • The Last Video Store …

    Guys I was really enjoying this podcast even though, it was reminder that a new album was out by one of our best (ABC Conversations, similar). Then came the blooper - the title of the film that Poitier starred in and directed was TOTALLY wrong!!

    This made a mockery of the whole pod.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

BETOOTA TALKS: Farrer By-Election with Independent Candidate Michelle Milthorpe
Q: This would probably be a big part of your job as an independent candidate that doesn't have a loving, glowing Australian media behind you. How would you introduce yourself to a voter who's only just heard about this independent candidate?
Milthorpe presents herself as a regional native with a family and teaching background, emphasizing regional equity, practical experience, and a commitment to addressing healthcare, childcare, and water issues from a local perspective.
Betoota Talks: What’s The Go With New Zealand? (ft. Guy Williams)
Q: What do you think are the five cultural pillars of New Zealand?
Traditionally laid-back attitude, passion for the outdoors, a sporting culture, the influence of Māori culture, and the perception of New Zealanders being nice.
BETOOTA TALKS: Merv Hughes
Q: How does it feel walking into Lord's?
Lords is seen as the home of cricket, the hairs on the back of your neck stand up as a player.
BETOOTA TALKS: Merv Hughes
Q: What was it like when you were picked for that game in Perth?
The first test in Adelaide was an eye-opener; I felt unprepared for the jump to international level.
BETOOTA TALKS: Merv Hughes
Q: What is the origin story of your famous run-up?
My front foot splayed out towards the stumps rather than point, which helped with my unique bowling action.
