  • Political lobbying

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

    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.

Are We Witnessing Trump's Last Hurrah? (with Charles Croucher)
Q: Have you seen anything like this current wave of ads across America right now in the midterms?
Croucher says the races are highly personal and competitive, with candidates using direct, nasty, or funny ads designed to spread on social media and attract news coverage.
Are We Witnessing Trump's Last Hurrah? (with Charles Croucher)
Q: Can you explain the concept of a midterm?
Every two years, voters elect the entire House of Representatives and one of the Senate's three groups. The elections give voters a chance to hold the president accountable and can change which party controls Congress.
Will Australia Bow Down To The A.I Oligarchs? (Featuring Anna Funder)
Q: What are your thoughts on AI?
Funder says technology companies have used copyrighted works, including books, to train large language models without permission. She argues that creators should be able to license their work and receive compensation, rather than having copyright weakened to attract data centers.
Will Australia Bow Down To The A.I Oligarchs? (Featuring Anna Funder)
Q: What does the Berlin Wall symbolize for younger listeners, and are there parallels with governments and surveillance states today?
Funder says the clearest parallels are with the 1930s, including economic inequality, disenfranchisement and the rise of authoritarian and fascist politics. She explains how the Soviet Union controlled East Germany and sealed it off from the West.
The Sh*ttest Moments In Australian Sport
