But not for long thanks to AEC the boundaries of North Sydney are being folded into the neighbouring electorates. Since there is no HR department at Parliament House I took it upon myself to sit down with Kylea Tink and ask her how her time was at the company. From this conversation it is clear that Kylea Tink is not done as she is already hinting that she could run for a neighbouring seat to the former electorate of North Sydney — is she going to Bennelong? Is she going to Berowra? What is for certain — Kylea is going to be putting her energy in getting more community independents elected in Parliament hosue.

🤑 CHIP IN TO OUR PATREON https://www.patreon.com/ARationalFear 📨 SUBSCRIBE TO OUR EMAIL LIST: http://www.arationalfear.com/ G’day Fearmongers, We have a very different episode of the podcast this week — we’re throwing out the rule book to bring a conversation with Millie Holten ( Instagram ), the brilliant creator of a new web series that is doing huge numbers on TikTok called Long Head . Starring the incredible voices of incredible comedians Kate Dehnert, Tom Walker and Sam Campbell as the titular Long Head. The Age and Sydney Morning Herald called it “Mr Bean for the TikTok generation” . It’s a very strange and stupid series. A radical departure from the usual biting satire that folks subscribe to A Rational Fear for. Long Head is refreshingly delightful. How did we manage to book Millie? Well Dear Listener — I am the executive producer of the series — so this email is what the National Anti-Corruption Commission would call a gross compliment of interest EPISODE 1 » EPISODE 2 | EPISODE 3 | EPISODE 4 | EPISODE 5 | EPISODE 6 Millie and I have been working on this show since 2022, and we’re so stoked that the world can finally see it. Of course — I did nothing really, mainly admin — we actually made it with a really talented team of animators including Dale Anderson, Michael Harris, and animation director Annabelle Ots. And we were lucky enough to record the sound and have it expertly crafted and designed by Matt Perrott’s Mighty Sound in Sydney. The whole series was generously paid for by … you the taxpayer. More s

🤑 CHIP IN TO OUR PATREON https://www.patreon.com/ARationalFear 📨 SUBSCRIBE TO OUR EMAIL LIST: http://www.arationalfear.com/ Howdy Fearmongers, Trying to make sense of the US Elections is a fools errand. Well, consider us your fools. I spent Wednesday afternoon not being able to do work, or anything really, the limit of my motor skills maxed out at flipping between live YouTube channels of US based news and refreshing the NYT app. This was the wrong choice. If I’ve learned anything from following US elections — no one knows anything, and everyone is making it up. As the red wave continued to spill across the USA I said “F it”, and walked to the pub. My wife and I sat in the spring afternoon sun, drinking a non-alcoholic beer, (because I’m now a soy boy that has been fully cucked) and feeling grateful that we live in Australia, and surely, nothing like that could happen here. Right? 🥔 On this week’s pod we chat with US comedian, journalist, activist and friend of the pod Francesca Fiorentini ( The Bitchuation Room ), and also we’re lucky enough to grab Amy Remeikis in between meetings at her new gig at the Australia Institute. We have a big conversation analysing why the Democratic party lost this election, and what another Trump administration means for climate action and what if a social media ban is just a cynical attempt at stopping 13 year olds being radicalised by Joe Rogan.

Don't ask where the money is coming from - Dan Ilic, Lewis Hobba, Mark Connely & Alice Brennan
🤑 CHIP IN TO OUR PATREON https://www.patreon.com/ARationalFear 📨 SUBSCRIBE TO OUR EMAIL LIST: http://www.arationalfear.com/ In this episode of A Rational Fear, the hosts discuss a range of topics including the impact of Russian funding on YouTube influencers, the effectiveness of political propaganda, and a detailed analysis of the recent US presidential debate. They also touch on the upcoming COP31 climate conference and its implications for Australia. The conversation is filled with humour and insightful commentary on the current political landscape. Takeaways The influence of Russian funding on political messaging is significant. Tim Pool's case exemplifies the intersection of media and propaganda. Polarisation strategies are effective in shaping public opinion. Influencers play a crucial role in disseminating political messages. The recent US presidential debate showcased contrasting strategies between candidates. COP31 presents both challenges and opportunities for Australia in climate discussions.

He highlights the challenges of navigating the minefield of criticising Israel and the consequences that individuals face for expressing their opinions. Matt also shares his experiences as a Jewish comedian and the different perspectives he brings to his comedy. Throughout the conversation, Matt emphasises the importance of separating criticism of the Israeli government from anti-Semitism and the need for open and honest dialogue on the topic. The conversation covers various aspects of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, including language use, the perspective of Israeli comedians, the impossible situation faced by Israelis, the lack of hope for peace, imagining alternative solutions, and the role of comedy in discussing sensitive topics.

Wendy Harmer — A Rational Conversation
🎟️ BUY TICKETS TO OUR 1,000,000th DOWNLOAD LIVE SHOW: https://www.malthousetheatre.com.au/tickets/malthouse-outdoor-stage/a-rational-fear/ 🤑 CHIP IN TO OUR PATREON https://www.patreon.com/ARationalFear 📨 SUBSCRIBE TO OUR EMAIL LIST: http://www.arationalfear.com/ In this conversation, Dan and Lewis interview Wendy Harmer, a comedy legend and former radio host. They discuss the evolution of comedy and radio, the impact of commercial radio, memorable interactions with radio management, and unconventional radio stunts. Wendy shares stories from her time on The Morning Crew and reflects on the cultural significance of the show. They also discuss the changing media landscape and the success of radio hosts like Kyle and Jackie O. Overall, the conversation highlights the unique and influential role of radio in the comedy industry. Takeaways Radio has played a significant role in the evolution of comedy, providing a platform for comedians to showcase their talent and reach a wide audience. Commercial radio has undergone significant changes over the years, with comedians becoming a staple on radio shows and management often lacking experience in the medium. Unconventional radio stunts and promotions have been a hallmark of the industry, with hosts often pushing boundaries to engage listeners and boost ratings. Wendy Harmer's time on The Morning Crew was culturally significant, as she brought a female perspective to radio and helped redefine the role of women in the industry. The media landscape has changed dramatically, with the rise of social media and digital platforms providing new avenues for content creation and consumption.

LIVE FROM WAIBEN THURSDAY ISLAND - Dan Ilic, Lewis Hobba, Jay Wymarra, Diat Alferink, Dane Simpson & Leon Filewood
🤑 CHIP IN TO OUR PATREON https://www.patreon.com/ARationalFear 📨 SUBSCRIBE TO OUR EMAIL LIST: http://www.arationalfear.com/ G'day Fearmongers, Last Monday — A Rational Fear performed live on stage at the Thursday Island Bowls Club where we set the table to have a discussion about The Voice and Climate Change. The maestro of all things arts and culture on TI Diat Alferink produced and performed in the show as well as joined by other First Nations comedians Leon Filewood, Jay Wymarra and Dane Simpson. This was one of the most fun shows we have ever done. I know I say that after most live shows, but this show had a unique quality. Maybe it was the bowls club, maybe it was because everyone is related to each other, but this show had a sense of community, that we haven’t really experienced. It was like doing a show for your family. We took the opportunity to talk about The Voice, and the bad actors and misinformation surrounding it, the cost of living on TI, climate change and everyone took an opportunity to bully Lewis Hobba for being white. The show — you’ll hear — gets more and more raucous as it goes on, and for the community, it was a great opportunity for them to hear discussion about serious topics in a funny way to spark conversation about The Voice and climate change. We were so lucky to have Aaron Smith join us for the trip to document show. The day of the show we spent running around making sketches to roll out for F-Yes . Which you can see on Instagram / Facebook / TikTok and X Big thanks go to Diat Alferink. Diat made us feel so special, and welcomed, she even cooked us a post-show meal, that I won’t forget. Also shows like this are not possible without the Patreon and a generous Impact Grant from the team at the The Bertha Foundation. Please follow A Rational Fear on social media, and F-Yes, and share every piece of content we’re publishing between now and the referendum.

Today we have a long form conversation with one my favourite climate voices. This week I sat down with energy and climate journalist David Roberts from the popular climate and energy podcast Volts . If you don't listen already you can subscribe here. But I suspect many of you like our podcast producer Jacob Round (from the Teppanyaki Timeline) are big fans. David is in Australia to do some side events around the ALP Conference in Brisbane later this week. He's here to have conversations with folks on the opportunities that unions, workers, and capital have in the the renewable energy transition. We cover a lot of territory in 30minutes — including what the ALP should do around climate, and what may happen to the Inflation Reduction Act (big US climate policy) if Trump gets back in. If you listen to us all the time, you may know some of this, however if you're new to the renewable space, this is a good refresher.

This episode we talk about the US Government being so embarrassed at surveilling its own citizens, that they’re now telling everyone about it, and hoping someone else in the US Government will fix it. Why won’t someone fix the legal loop holes!? We also chat about this strange new group of conservatives who are planning to solve the meaning of life. Who is in this group? John Howard, Tony Abbott, and Jordan Peterson to name a few. They’re called the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship. Sounds like a bunch of people who need a night on the shrooms. Also we chat with Ange Lavoirpierre about the disaffection that Gen Z and Millennials have with politics-as-usual. And how ideas like capitalism are very much out of fashion, and the coolest new derogatory term of people who dare to participate in thrift store arbitrage.

🤑 CHIP IN TO OUR PATREON https://www.patreon.com/ARationalFear 📨 SUBSCRIBE TO OUR EMAIL LIST: http://www.arationalfear.com/ NEWS FIGHTERS PODCAST This month on News Fighters host Dylan Behan takes an in-depth look at the 2023 “Goldilocks” Budget. Somehow treasurer Jim Chalmers and Labor have lucked out with a once-in-15-year surplus, but can they use it to help those out in the cold while not overheating the economy with inflation? Meanwhile Peter Dutton and the coalition argue that instead of giving a tiny increase to welfare recipients, this money would be better used to fund holidays and the mining industry. TRANSCRIPTION Jim Chalmers 00:01 This is News Fighters, where we fight the news so you don't have to. Dylan Behan 00:10 Yes welcome to episode 123 of news fighters from May 2023. News fighters, chase the vibes. I'm Dylan Bay and you might know me from A Rational fear as being the onstage Hobbit DJ guy and occasional wacky clips merchant and I'm here with the biggest news story of the week. Journalist 00:27 It's budget night and we'll see something we haven't in 15 years. Dylan Behan 00:31 Yes, that's right for the first time in 15 years. Is it Michael Jackson back from the dead and live in concert? Or is it Kevin Rudd? Not a laughingstock? Oh, perhaps it's a livable apartment in Sydney for under $600,000? No, of course they were talking about the first Jim Chalmers 00:46 budget surplus in 15 years.

I was gently mocking the ceremony for how everything about it was modern and progressive. Or at least I thought I was gently mocking. From the magic stone seat, to the 500 year old spoon, to the oil from a duck, to the hand of God picking one man to rule over a whole bunch of people who have no say in the matter. All the Australians at the table laughed. The English producers shuffled uncomfortably and one said "But we do it well, don't we." To which all the Australians felt the discomfort and politely agreed that England does do pomp and circumstance very well. I added that Harry Potter was also done very well, took my drink and left. So — Happy Coronation Weekend to those who celebrate. On the podcast this week we have some great fearmongers. 🏃♀️Australian Athletic Legend, Erchana Murray-Bartlet. 🎙 Comedian and broadcaster, Craig Quartermaine 💨 Former vaper, Lewis Hobba. 💸Persephone Fraser from Australian Ethical We cover the Coronation, Beetaloo Basin, Vaping, the AI coup, and the Budget.

INTRODUCING NEWS FIGHTERS: Anthony Albanese goes to the tennis and the right can’t deal!
🤑 CHIP IN TO OUR PATREON https://www.patreon.com/ARationalFear 📨 SUBSCRIBE TO OUR EMAIL LIST: http://www.arationalfear.com/ 🎟️ BUY TICKETS TO THE A RATIONAL FEAR LIVE SHOWS Once a month on the A Rational Fear podcast feed and email list, comedy editor, Dylan Behan, will bring you News Fighters. Dylan has been cutting wacky clips for film and television along side me for all of my careers. I first met Dylan when he was an assistant editor at Tracks Post Production when he worked on The Ronnie Johns Half Hour with me back in 2005. And since then he’s worked in the comedy trenches with The Chaser, Tonightly, It’s Not A Race, and of course regularly appearing at A Rational Fear gigs on stage and on the mic. For the first episode of News Fighters for 2023, host Dylan Behan looks back on an oddly quiet summer of news, a lowlight of which was the right’s outrage over Anthony Albanese going to the tennis. Also why Peter Dutton is going to do everything he can to block the Voice to Parliament (hint: because Albo is in favour of it!) News Fighters is a comedic look at Australian news, media and political hypocrisy from TV comedy editor Dylan Behan.

A Rational Year — The best sketches and selected bits from 2022
🤑 CHIP IN TO OUR PATREON https://www.patreon.com/ARationalFear 📨 SUBSCRIBE TO OUR EMAIL LIST: http://www.arationalfear.com/ 👕 BUY OUR MERCH HERE 🎟️ BUY TICKETS TO THE A RATIONAL FEAR ADELAIDE FRINGE SHOW Happy new fear! Currently I’m on holidays in the south coast of NSW. Yesterday I found myself sitting in a local cafe with my laptop going through the year of sketches, and my favourite bits. Suffice to say regional cafes are not used to award winning podcasters sitting in the corner laughing to themselves and maniacally writing jokes. Before they called the cops, I pulled together about an hour of some of the best bits of A Rational Fear for the year. Some of which has previously only been avaliable behind the paywall on Patreon. And despite how many people quit the Patreon based on the fact that " Alan Jones " was hosting the end of year special... I decided to invite him to do it again. He's back by un-popular demand. By doing our podcast he literally gets 100 x the audience of his YouTube show, but at this time of year it's important to be in a giving spirit, even to your enemies. Big thank you this episode go to my in-laws, whose spare bedroom I recorded this podcast in. They too are not Alan Jones fans, but were quite obliging to allow him to seep through into the living space for 20 minutes. It’s been another big year for us on A Rational Fear. We did live shows around the country, played the Sydney Opera House, won Best Comedy at the Australian Podcast Awards (again), we put out 2 new series; Julia Zemiro Asks Who Cares, and Jan Fran Has Issues, as well as a limited election column by Kara Schlegl who now has her own brilliant substack you can subscribe too . And we couldn’t have done it without the help of our listeners who support us on Patreon , on Apple Subscriptions or who pay for this otherwise free newsletter on Substack. The thing about podcasting is the more popular you get, the more you pay in bandwidth and hosting. We also are one of the very few podcasts, or shows of any kind for that matter that actually pay our comedy guests. This is really important to us. It’s cool we can do that, and we can because of Patreon, every little bit helps. Come see us live next year: Adelaide — March 4th — Garden of Unearthly Delights</stro

Richard Duke represents the United States of America around the globe on climate, he is the Deputy Special Envoy for Climate — his boss is former Secretary of State John Kerry who leads the SPEC. On this episode of the Greatest Moral Podcast Of Our Generation we chat through: The IRA Australia's place in the pacific Aussie Scope 3 Global Supply Chains The Methane Pledge Guam Small Island States Patreon Questions TRANSCRIPTION Dan Ilic 0:00 Good air Dan Ilic with you for the greatest moral podcast of our generation. This is a great episode. I have had the privilege of talking with America. Yes, the whole country actually, Rick Duke, who is the Deputy climate envoy for the US State Department. His job is essentially to travel around the world preaching from the Gospel of climate action, a job that considerably got a lot easier in August when the US passed the inflation Reduction Act. And then that hides exactly what it is, which is a mega climate spending spree Yeah, huge amounts of money tax credits and incentives for things like renewable energy, CCS, EVS community projects. And of course, it is not without controversy. It also opens up federal landfill fossil fuel exploration, it's a bit of a complicated story. But essentially, this whole thing, the IRA, the inflation Reduction Act, not Irish Republican Army, is essentially a huge deal for climate change, and could revolutionize America's approach for years to come when it comes to their emissions. The more I've learned about it, the more excited I am about it, and the more it will hopefully encourage other countries to do the same. Now, it is a far cry from the lip service that Australia's government has so far provided on climate action. But maybe, maybe with the US leading the way that could change a word about how we can make this podcast you know, this was kind of an expensive one, because I couldn't go to the consulate to record my podcast there. They don't actually allow people to take electronic equipment into the US Consulate. It's a whole deal. Let me tell you, and I couldn't exactly invite America into my house.

Penny Ackery is a former special needs teacher who has been tasked by her community to represent the huge electorate of Hume. At 17 240 sq km it spans from Boorowa in the west to Appin in the east, with Goulburn smack bang in the middle. It's currently held by the Minister for Emission Expansion, Angus Taylor. One of the most powerful ministers in the government. But Penny has been hard at it, campaigning publicly since June 2021 — traveling the breadth of the electorate, listening, and consulting with folks about how to better represent them. It's the world's longest job interview. JZ lives in the electorate next door and has been supporting Penny Ackery in her campaign, so if this chat sounds like two friends who are trying to make change in their communities — it's because it is.

Each month for the next 3 months on the A Rational Fear podcast feed, Julia interviews change makers, civic leaders, and people who organise their communities and claim their power to discover the secrets to making good things happen. This month Julia chats with two artists who have built extraordinary communities around their craft, how both these artists have shown leadership and helped their respective communities thrive in times of crisis. Jen Cloher (Ngāpuhi & Ngati Kahu) — is a highly respected recording and performing artist living on unceded Wurundjeri land in Naarm (Melbourne) Australia. Cloher is co-founder of Milk! Records ( Courtney Barnett, Tiny Ruins, Hand Habits ) and I Manage My Music , a masterclass series for self-managed artists to assist self-managed artists with the challenges of creating and releasing music in Australia. “When an artist stands up on a stage, we invite everyone in that room to tap into what it is to be human, which is something politicians are not capable of doing because they're not connected. They've got their own agenda, they're not there to bring us together” — Jen Cloher also we hear from: Astrid Jorgensen — Founding Director of Pub Choir™ and its COVID adaptation, Couch Choir. She is also a co-creator of Australia's Biggest Singalong which aired on SBS TV in 2021. “It's not about competing, there is no way to win. All we can do is work together. And the sum is always greater than the parts. If you have honest and optimistic leadership.” — Astrid Jorgensen I hope you enjoy these conversations with two great artists building community and helping other to thrive culturally and financially.

A Message from God — Anuvab Pal (India) Nelufar Hedayat (UK), Dom Knight (The Chaser), Lewis Hobba & Dan Ilic
🤑 CHIP IN TO OUR PATREON https://www.patreon.com/ARationalFear 📨 SUBSCRIBE TO OUR EMAIL LIST: http://www.arationalfear.com/ This week's podcast takes you flash points for disaster around the world; India, London, and Clive Palmer's office. Indian authorities are clamping down on criticism against Prime Minister Modi, banning critical hashtags and throwing people in jail who tweet against the PM's response to COVID19. So at only a small personal risk to himself, Anuvab Pal unleashes his thoughts on Modi this week's podcast rather than broadcast them on twitter. Also UK Journalist and host of Course Correction podcast, Nelufar Heydat , uploads her concerns about a new NHS COVID Vaccination Passport App, that will divide the UK into the jabs and jab-nots. And Dom Knight from satirical comedy outfit The Chaser, brings to light one of Clive Palmer's more recent failings. A proposal for a coal mine less than 10km from the Great Barrier Reef has been rejected by the state government. We also discuss how A Rational Fear can get some of that $19686 per minute in fossil fuel subsidies.

This is Episode 3 of Greatest Moral Podcast of Our Generation. This week we have two incredible voices. Yessie Mosby is part of the ‘Torres Strait 8', a group of Torres Strait islanders who are taking the Australian Government to the UN Human Rights Council for their lack of climate action. Which, as you can imagine if you live in the Torres Strait, is quite the existential problem. And I also chat with Sophie Marjanac , is the lawyer driving the complaint. This is a fascinating chat. If you're like me, and live in a major city in Australia, it's easy to be dismissive of sea-level rise as something that will effect other countries, other islands. Not our country. But for those in the Torres Strait sea-level rise is ALREADY putting an entire culture, an entire race under threat. It's fitting that this podcast's schedule serendipitously lines up with NAIDOC week. Big thanks also to my Bertha Fellow colleague, Linh Do , for covering the climate news up the top of the podcast with me. YOU CAN HELP — SIGN THE PETITION Yes, it's another petition! But this one will update you on the complaint, and events that are being organised to support the case. Like, December 14th, there will be an online “Town Hall” for supporters and the public to meet the Torres Strait 8.

The rest of the world is aggressively moving to a carbon free future. China is set to decarbonise their economy by 2060. Next year at COP26 every country will be taking plans to go further, and ratchet up mechanisms for further emissions reductions, because the Paris agreement isn't going to cut it.Net 0 emissions by 2050 is no longer the big ambition, it's the status quo. A few countries will be going in hard to do even more. Leading, in other words.And when the world is doing this, where is that leaving Australia?Australia is the Shore School of the world. Outwardly rich, entitled, antagonistic, and going around spitting on poor people and taking photos of its penis on things to win points with mates, Saudi Arabia, and the USA.Instead of doing the work: transitioning the economy to a carbon free future.We're burning more gas - to lower emissions?Gaslighting figuratively and literally.DanThanks:Big thanks to The Bertha Foundation, our Patreon Supporters and RODE Mics.

It’s a long-form conversation with leaders in climate justice from around the world. So… I’m thrilled to give you the first episode of the .Greatest Moral Podcast Of Our Generation Up first is the bloke who coined the phrase “greatest moral problem of our generation”, Kevin Rudd. We’re a couple of generations of PMs past that speech, and sadly the climate emergency still holds the title. Fellow Bertha Fellow, Linh Do, and I do a wrap of the month’s climate news, then we get to the interview. Kevin and I speak about climate change policy, good, bad, future, past and present. We also go deep on Rupert Murdoch, NBN, and media regulation. Kevin also has some great advice for leaders who want to work in the climate space.

SPECIAL: Riot Act - Conversation with Mark Humphries, Evan Williams, & Anjali Rao
WE MADE AN AUDIO SITCOM ! — It’s called Riot Act and is out today on Audible. https://www.audible.com.au/pd/Riot-Act-Audiobook/B081VGWJLG?qid=1575317103&sr=1-1&pf_rd_p=771c6463-05d7-4981-9b47-920dc34a70f1&pf_rd_r=H1WJX9FR94HJ36GAQR9H&ref=a_search_c3_lProduct_1_1 Over the last couple of years Mark Humphries , Evan Williams and I have been writing a sitcom set in the world of conservative talkback radio. It’s not so much a workplace comedy but a story about ambition, and politics at the extremes. With the support of Audible we made it into an 8-part sitcom for your ears (we only did the sound, the images are created by your own mind – it’s cheaper that way), beating all the odds for making long-form narrative comedy in Australia. And check out this list of incredible performers: Liv Hewson Tony Martin Anjali Rao Gretel Killeen Rupert Degas Heather Mitchell Marc Fennell Bridie Connel Robbie McGregor Veronica Milsom Rosie Waterland Wendy Harmer Jordan Raskopoulos Clarke Richards Ash Williams Sandra Sully Hugh Rimminton Hamish Macdonald Penny Greenhalgh Anthony Salame Indira Naidoo Ben Fordham Angela Lavoirpierre .. plus a gazillion more including Mark Humphries and Dan Ilic (Me) We had a wonderful script editor in David K. Barnes (Wooden Overcoats) and an epic restructure and rewrite from Kacie Anning (The Other Guy). We made it with the incredible audio studio Uncanny Valley under the diligent supervision of Matt Perrot who built out the complex soundscape. So this podcast, Mark Humphries, Evan Williams and I had a chat about how and why we made Riot Act – with a call to Anjali Rao and Matt Perrot for some behind the scenes context. It was a real thrill for us to make it, and a privilege to work with our heroes and friends to create something we’re very proud of. It’s free if you’re an Audible subscriber — you can get a 30day free trial if you’

A Rational Special - Hungry Beast 10 Year Reunion Show - 2019
A very special episode of A Rational Fear — this is the audio from the Hungry Beast 10 year reunion show that we put on a couple of months ago. It has many of the voices and faces from the show telling stories about how it was put together and where most of the team is now. "It’s been 10 years since the ABC TV show Hungry Beast was launched. In 2009 it brought together 20 young smart arses to create a new kind of new kind of TV show. One that was curious about the world, and didn’t take itself too seriously. Join former Hungry Beast presenters and producers as they try to remember what happened. There’ll be stories, unseen footage, clips now banned from the internet, and anecdotes about the show that changed Australian TV forever.* It’ll be just like Where Are They Now? — except that no one has ever asked that question. Join, Nick Hayden, Veronica Milsom, Kirsten Drysdale, Marc Fennell, Dan Ilic, Mon Schafter, Kirk Docker, Andy Nehl and others who haven’t replied to the email yet. Follow the money to your wallet and get a ticket to Hungry Beast Unplugged. *Probably not — but sounds good to say.

STOP THE PRESS Journalism is dead. Long live journalism. 🎟️ CANBERRA SHOW - SEPT 7 - THE STREET - ON SALE NOW Recorded live, in front of a massive SOLD OUT crowd at Giant Dwarf ,some of Australia's best known journalists and a couple of Australia's least known comedians discuss the recent government crackdown on press freedom in Australia. (Waxed balls and All) Hear what happened to Ray Martin ’s interview with a top CIA contact. How Kate McClymont sends a death threat to bikie gangs. Ben Fordham gets his house AFP raid-ready and hides his embarrassing things. Alice Workman tell us what Peter Dutton really thinks about the potato comparisons. Dan Ilic breaches the espionage act live on stage. Lewis Hobba tells us why Seachange is good for democracy, and Greta Lee Jackson from the Australian Federal Police shuts the show down in breach of telling bad facts about the government. One important takeaway from this episode is that despite the attacks on newsrooms from the Government, journalists are more determined than ever to hold the government to account than ever before — and Kate McClymont identifies as a witch.

#ClimateWeekQLD Hello Dan Ilic here — Thanks to the Queensland Government for inviting us to perform at Climate Week . The team of producers were incredible, and the production staff at the Brisbane Powerhouse were slick professional units. You may notice there is one word we’re avoiding to say in the show. That word begins with A and ends in I , has Dan in between. We were told about 20 minutes before the show, so some minor tweaks had to happen on the fly. I’m sure you’ll enjoy listening to that as we go. Bridie Connell and Wyatt Nixon-Lloyd do some topical music for us. Tom Ballard tells us that it’s all over and there’s no hope left. The Queensland Government put a bid in for the 2038 Nuclear Winter Games. MICF Pinder Prize winner Steph Tisdell give insects the tick of approval, and goes on the hunt for true love with an entomologist. Mel Buttle hopes that foodies will go extinct. Alan Jones has some thoughts on climate change. Professor Hilary Bambrick scares us all to death with what the real health ramifications are for humans on a warming planet. Lewis Hobba thinks he has solutions to the climate crisis, but ends up just blaming Queenslanders for it all. It is truly and excellent 90 minutes of climate change banter. 00:00 — Pre Show: AFP Warning. 01:25 — Start. 02:15 — Introductions. 05:33 — Bridie and Wyatt Introduction. 16:25 — Fearsome Fears: Freedom Gas. 21:15 — Fearsome Fears: Flygskam. 25:00 — Fearsome Fears: The internet will be underwater. 27:30 — Tom Ballard: We’re all f***ed. 37:48 — Queensland’s Bid for 2038 Nuclear Winter Games. 40:16 — Steph Tisdell: Care about insects. 47

The Austrlian PM Hotline Pitch
Something a little different: Dan is begging you for money. To make something really dumb: All info here: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-australian-pm-hotline/x/1681048#/ WHAT'S THE BIG IDEA? In the last 10 years, Australia has had just under 31,023 Prime Ministers. No one can remember who the current one is. So I've created a hotline, that with the power of some code, can update automatically via Wikipedia and tell us who is the Prime Minister at that given moment? It's just like the speaking clock - but for the Prime Minister of Australia. It's dumb and funny - and we've built it already! Thanks to our friends at Twilio, you can call it now. 04888 54 280 Try it? I'll wait. See it's great. But the NUMBER is hard to remember. 1300 WHO THE F*** IS P.M? This is where you come in. I think the best 1300 number/name for this project is: 1300 WTFI PM 1300 Who The F*** Is P.M. However those numbers are really EXPENSIVE. They cost $3000 a year. So to start off with we want $3000. Then if we get more, we plan to use that money to advertise the hotline. $3000: We'll buy the number/name 1300 WTFI PM| $15000: We'll make a saucy old school late night style hotline ad and run it on TV $23000: We'll book an infomercial on a morning TV show. $30000: We'll pay for a full page ad in a national broadsheet newspaper. IMPACT You will get the satisfaction of financing some crucial Australian information infrastructure. At A Rational Fear we have a track record of making good on our crowdfunding, in 2014 we raised $50000 to make 12 weeks of satirical comedy online. Which we did to great success.
