The Conditional Release Program

The Two Jacks argue over the Albanese government's proposed misinformation bill. JTI explains the background to Sydney's bloody gangland war. The coup in Niger threatens to turn violent with the country's neighbours imposing sanctions and closing border. South Africa veers further into a gangster state. In sport, the Matildas move into the qualifying rounds with a 4-0 win over Canada,...

Note from Joel: We love hosting TT on our feed because the girls are absolutely part of the TCRP family. But if you get it from their feed it helps bump them up the itunes/podcast charts and become a force of their own. They regularly beat us! Feel free to grab it here but search for 'tinfoil tales' on your podcast app to get it from the source. Also, this episode kicks arse. Everyone'...

It's time to tell the tale of MEGA FREEDOM where Donna puts on a freedom fest and people use this newfound agency to not turn up. Did they go to Bello Markets or is there something more sinister (pointlessly dramatic) at play? Either way - it was shit. But the strong presence of The Light newspaper (sorry, truthpaper) is a very interesting sign of what's to come. Big thanks to Isaac, Jess...

It's a news week this one - and it's time to bitch about Dan Andrews. Should he be jailed for cancelling the commonwealth games? Well, according to some. The call to cancel the games was a good one, but was it for reasons he kinda created? Sorta? Maybe. Kinda. Yeah. Maria Zee thinks the money will be spent elsewhere. What she says is fun and totally reasonable. Then we move on to the ACMA...

Victoria will not host the Commonwealth Games in 2026. The decision had to be made as costs were always going to be extraordinary but is it a sign of a government out of control or perhaps being controlled centrally? The Fadden by-election - does the result mean anything? No. The Voice is on shaky ground according to polls. Speaking of Poles (sort of), Poland is emerging as a significant military...

This episode was recorded after Joel spent eight hours on a train heading up to Coffs for Mega Freedom. He clearly spent most of it drinking. Jack manages to stop the entire podcast being about comparing Dimitry Utkin's penis to Hunter Biden's and the jury is out on whether that's a good thing. The recent insurrection in Russia by the Wagner PMC and their founder Yevgeny Prigozhin has...

In this episode, SOS and Sandee delve into the antics of audacious doctor William Bay, who fell down the rabbit hole and threw away his medical career for the cause of "freedom" from vaccines and for his new-found love of God (and he really loves the attention!). So. Much. Winning!!! But how far is he willing to go? You can follow us on twitter at: SOS (@SOS149) / Twitter sandee (@sunnysan...

The NSW ICAC finds that former premier Gladys Berejikilian was found to have engaged in "serious corrupt conduct" but no criminal charges will be brought. Does the ICAC need to redefine what is and isn't corruption?  The Australian government beefs up ACMA to fine platforms who publish misinfo. The French hit the streets after the police shooting of a boy in the worst civil disruption...

In breaking news, former NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian has been found to have engaged in serious corrupt conduct by the ICAC but the anti-corruption body has stated she should not face criminal charges. Vale Simon Crean, a great Labor man. How long does Wagner Group's Yevgeny Progozhin have to live? The Two Jacks won't be selling him any life insurance. Elections in Greece deliver Kyriako...

It has been a bloody huge week on the fringe. Veteran journo Ross Coulthart of 60 minutes fame jumps on the UAP bandwagon. But are they aliens or is this just an elaborate psyop? If you're a listener, you probably already know the answer. We look at a hot tip from friend of the podcast Guy who linked us to a guardian article about the ARC - Alliance for Responsible Citizenship. Sounds like new...

In domestic politics, the MP for Leichhardt Warren Entsch is enmeshed in a scandal where it's alleged he arranged a vaccine for a Russian property developer in Queensland and received a substantial political donation as a quid pro quo. Will Entsch be the first politician off the NACC rank? As the Lehmann-Higgins saga continues, the 2 Jacks discuss possible legal reforms for victims of sexual a...

This week we delve into Jack's specialty - true crime - and ask who killed Ray Locksley? He was only a young lad when he was murdered and his life is often misrepresented by those who tell his story. So is his murder. Commonly known to be one of the many hits conducted by Chris 'rentakill' Flannery, that theory comes undone quickly when you shine a light on it. So what the hell is a ve...

The Higgins-Lehrmann saga continues apace, putting political pressure on the Finance Minister, Katy Gallagher. Will it be a career ender? HK Jack says no, not at this stage but Gallagher is likely to lose a lot of skin. Noel Pearson softens his approach on the Voice. The Bunga Bunga Carnival is over as Silvio Berlusconi dies at 86.  Bojo walks. The Ukrainian counter offensive begins. Trump could b...

The sudden resignation of WA Premier Mark McGowan has led to a burst of doubt and anxiety in the great state of WA with their political genius shuffling off stage left. Should Western Australians be sent off for counselling? The Two Jacks review the Folbigg Pardon and conclude a serious miscarriage of justice occurred. How did our criminal justice system fail so badly? Newspoll reveals a decline i...

Ben Roberts-Smith is in deep shit. The yanks are unhappy and when the yanks are unhappy bad things happen. But they couldn't happen to a nicer bloke. Jack looks at BRS's bleak future and Joel looks at what the cookers have to say about him. Mark McGowan has retired with a ridiculous record as one of the most popular state premiers in history. Did he leave because he was feeling tired or be...

Mark McGowan pulls up stumps. The shock resignation of the man who turned his opponents into political dust in WA is discussed. Why is the media fixated on describing him as a 'rock star politician'? Oh, God. I just did it, too. McGowan could have enjoyed another term at least but packed it in on top. Is the grind becoming too much for modern political leaders? Who will replace McGowan and...

Africa is largely ignored by the western world and as a result we don't learn lessons from their tragedies. Natural disasters that kill people mostly because they are poor. Wars that are shrugged off as 'African problems'. But this is something different. This is a death cult that killed hundreds in on the back of the Bible. Paul Mackenzie forced hundreds of people to starve themselves...

I was a bit generous with the sample this time cause we have been a bit quiet. We love you all and good things are coming! Here's a preview of this weeks premium epiosde. From as little as five bucks a month! Don't make me get all weird and shame you like Dave Oneegs does - if you can't afford it, you just need to like want it more. Winners grindset bro.

Joel here - apologies for the delay in getting this one up - but you can listen on the Tinfoil Tales feed at https://redcircle.com/shows/tinfoil-tales If you get it from them directly you help get them up the podcast charts (dunno where you go after number 1 though tbh) and generally help them along. But they're family to us and we will keep it here as long as they want to live at home. This e...

Arrests in HK over local soccer matches have caught the eye of HK Jack but are consultancies expensively fixing our bureaucracy in an unaccountable mess? Trouble at mill for the ABC. Bakhmut falls while F-16s are on the way to Ukraine. Death cult in Kenya. And what energy source is growing faster - coal or renewables? In sport, coaches walk away in the AFL while we look at the form guide for the T...

It has been a huge week in the world of cookerdom with a cheeky bunch of Victorian nazis trying to catfish cookers into hanging out and becoming pals. It didn't really work. But they'll be back! They had a total aryan victory. Well done boys. Top work. Maybe next time you won't fuck it up. Derek Balogh sponsors the show this week. We think he's a clever boy and a good law talkin&#3...

The Two Jacks report on the election results from Turkiye and Thailand. The latter offers hope for change while Turkiye will go to a runoff which Erdogan looks likely to win. For Europe and NATO, Erdogan's re-election is probably a case of better the bastard you know. We look at the first anniversary of the election of the Albanese government. Polling shows Albo and Labor have picked up a few...

The Two Jacks discuss the coronation of King Charles III, much of which they didn't watch because they're not terribly interested. But a raft of other republicans appear to have been glued to their screens immersed in the pageantry. It's election time in Turkey, will Erdogan pull a Trump if he loses. The Thais also go to the elections with progressive parties ahead in the polls while t...
