SERIES 5 EPISODE 7 - April 28, 2020
SPOTIFY - SOUNDCLOUD - APPLE PODCAST - STITCHER - YOUTUBE Gareth and Olly look at the anti-lockdown protests that have swept across the United States throughout April. Why are people risking their health to take to the streets? Who are the people and groups organising these protests and what are their motivations? There is more happening here than meets the eye. In Australia, we discuss the potential collapse of Virgin Australia which once went toe-to-toe with Qantas. If Virgin goes under it very well might be a bigger collapse than that of Ansett. Still in Australia, a very good suggestion was made by Prime Minister Scott Morrison to give WHO experts the same powers as UN weapon inspectors. A great idea that will be difficult, if not impossible, to turn into a reality. Also in this episode, a stupidest political news item will be hard to beat in 2020. And yes, we know it's only April.

SERIES 5 EPISODE 6 - April 16 2020
SPOTIFY - SOUNDCLOUD - APPLE PODCAST - STITCHER - YOUTUBE In this episode, Gareth and Olly talk about the legacy of Bernie Sanders now that his second run to become President has ended. They also talk about how Joe Biden stacks up against Donald Trump at the moment and speculate who might become Biden's running mate? Covid-19 continues to dominate both the headlines and the lives of nearly everyone on the planet, with each part of the globe in different stages of their battle with the novel coronavirus. Gareth and Olly look at how the world is handling this fight as well as the fear of being a worker in the US, who has not only lost a job, but also health insurance in a time of pandemic. And lastly, the biggest Australian news in the past fortnight was the High Court's decision to unanimously acquit Cardinal George Pell of all sex abuse charges. Gareth and Olly dive into the decision and try to make sense of the glaring contradiction - whilst the HCA ruled that there were grounds for reasonable doubt, the victim has also been believed. How can that be? SHOW NOTES Political ad 1 Political ad 2 The Goodies theme song |
