The biggest game of the year is here. Cam McLaren joins me to break down the 2026 AFL Grand Final between Fremantle and Brisbane.

Comedian Emo Majok joins me for a wide-ranging conversation about selective outrage and the contradictions in modern culture.

Comedian and philosophy graduate Chris Pucillo joins me for a wide-ranging yarn about the philosophical arguments for God, the exciting future of space exploration and the art of writing stand-up comedy.

Why aren’t we happy — and is there a better way to live? Today I’m joined by Kane Guglielmi, director of Common Wealth , a documentary that travels the world exploring different ideas around government, finance, taxation, land ownership and the way we structure society.

I’m joined by Jesse Noakes as we explore the financial interests influencing politics and policy, the growing power of artificial intelligence and whether technology is beginning to manipulate us more than we realise.

In this solo episode, I run through the conspiracy checklist — the ideas that were mocked, dismissed and labelled crazy, only to look very different years later. Then I ask the bigger question: is Agenda 2030 next? From the new ASIO amendment bill to digital systems, surveillance, sustainability and seemingly innocent policy changes across multiple areas, I explore how powers introduced today coul...

Eddie Enever joins me to explore a different way of looking at cancer — your relationship with the diagnosis, yourself, your food, alcohol and the environment around you. We discuss ivermectin and other alternative approaches as complementary tools alongside conventional treatment, and question whether the way modern oncology communicates and delivers cancer care could be harmful to outcomes PATRE...

Every culture war is asking a deeper question. In this episode, I unpack why we’ve become so reactive, what sits beneath the debates surrounding multiculturalism, Pauline Hanson and the Tommy Robinson interview controversy, and why our biggest disagreements may actually be symptoms of something much larger happening within society.
