MUDRAT: Musical Rage Against Australia’s Cultural Wastela...

What this episode covers

In Episode 45 of Bogan Intelligentsia, we sit down with MUDRAT — the explosive Australian artist delivering raw, confrontational, and cathartic music with a clear working-class edge and a cutting political message. The conversation explores how all art is political, the contrast between their high-energy shows and Australia’s cultural wasteland, and the band’s journey from liberal views to class consciousness. MUDRAT breaks down how class defines modern Australian society, the growing impact on youth, wealth inequality, and the meaning behind their album Social Cohesion. We discuss racism in the Australian DNA, national shame and ignorance, the links between Australian settler colonialism and Palestine, and how decades of foreign and domestic policy reflect brutality at home and abroad.

Cars That Made Australia 9Podcasts Australians have a long-standing love affair with the automobile and when, in 1948, the first Holden came off the production line, our cars also became part of our national pride. Our cars do more than take us from A to B, they are freedom on four wheels. What we drive reflects our personalities, and our aspirations, and even allows us to let out our inner bogan. This is the story of the car that your folks bought home when you were a kid and you climbed all over the back seat. It’s the car that you crammed into on those hot summer road trips. It’s that model that you saved up for when you were a teenager or the car that your friend has that took you out of the suburbs. It's the car that you were brought home in from the hospital (potentially without being secured properly).This is the story of the people who drove them and the people that rode in them... this is the story of the Cars That Made Australia.
