Breaking Bad Boys
by @misinformedmedia
Breaking Bad Boys is a podcast about the boys and men society talks about — but rarely listens to.Because if we only label boys as “bad,” we’ll never understand why they break.Each episode unpacks the social, economic and cultural forces shaping male behaviour: poverty, shame, fatherhood, masculinity, race, policing, media narratives, and the institutions that respond when things go wrong. We ask the uncomfortable questions — about accountability, about power, about who gets punished and who gets protected.

Where does Iran’s oil money go?
The U.S. sanctions on Iran have succeeded only in forging a tighter trade partnership with Iran and the rest of the world. Instead of isolating Iran, it has created an indispensable relationship between Iran and China because China now buys 91% of Iran’s oil. What China does with Iran’s oil is...

How the U.S. created Iran’s parallel economy
What is the U.S. still looking for? Israel took out the regime’s leadership on the first day of the war, but left the son of the supreme leader alive, disfigured and with a bounty on his head. Why would the U.S. and Israel do that if they wanted to topple the regime? What has been exposed through...

The myth about the closure of the Strait of Hormuz
The war in Iran is hinging on a media narrative, at the centre of which is a myth about the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. has maintained this myth for years, seeing this passage of water as a political asset and a potentially commercial one because it represents competition for their own oil trade…

Why did the U.S. blow up 16 inactive ships in Iran?
The war is having its intended effect, which was to inflate the price of oil by cutting off global supply to the rest of the world. The plan rests on one carefully guarded media narrative about the Strait of Hormuz, which the U.S. will maintain for as long as it takes until it can fulfil its own...

The U.S. and Israel play capture the strait
The Strait of Hormuz is currently experiencing a severe operational blockade following the outbreak of the war on 28th February. The waterway is effectively impassable for most commercial traffic as of 9th March due to targeted Iranian attacks and the withdrawal of war-risk insurance. Iran's...

What does Israel need from the Muslim world?
Israel’s role in the Middle East is one that Trump aspires to in the rest of the world. Iran, however, presents a problem to both countries. Iran has singularly remained the only country in the region that will not yield to the plans being forged around it, will not give up its sovereignty, will...
-
What does Trump actually want in Iran?
Why did the atrocities committed by the regime in Iran not warrant a humanitarian intervention? Why did the international community wait until the U.S. government took matters into its own hands by launching a unilateral attack on Iran in a covert operation with Israel? What is it that Trump…

Does Iran have nuclear weapons?
The tactical analysis that was removed from TikTok twice. It is a real sign of the times that my TikTok coverage of this war – over a social media platform, not even on an official communication channel – is being so heavily monitored and censored.

The aftershocks of the war on Iran
While the U.S. may take credit for the regime fall in Iran, the truth is that Iran’s corrupt and blood-soaked regime was already in its final act and would have crumbled with or without U.S. intervention.
-
Why did the U.S. escalate tensions in Iran?
The U.S. had been dialling up the notch in Iran until the country could only reach breaking point. The airstrike launched on Iran that has since resulted in a war between Israel, U.S., Iran and its proxies in the Gulf was planned long before February. In the months leading up to this, tensions in...

Trump IS international law
The idea that Trump doesn’t believe in international law is a joke, considering that Trump’s justification for the war on Iran is based on Iran’s non-compliance with international law.
-
Why did the U.S. start a war with Iran?
The U.S. and Israel’s air strikes on Iran have now led to the involvement of Europe, the Middle East and even Sri Lanka. How did we get here? While the war against Iran might seem like it came out of nowhere, it was in fact a long time in the making.

Rich kid, poor kid
There are so many misconceptions around poor people that are perpetuated by the media and by rich politicians who have no idea that their constituents have now become poor people too. Poor people aren’t free-loaders who milk the system by living a cushy life on government benefits. Poor people...

Trump and the excuses we make for men
There are two types of men. The men who are used to making excuses for other men and the ones who try to do better than them. We forgive and pardon and overlook tbe things we are used to having to compromise on – leadership that comes at the cost of transparency, stability that is won only…

Tom Silvagni: The price of privilege
There are some things money can’t buy. Struggle is one of them. What happens when you’ve never had to fight for anything? In this episode, we unpack entitlement, inherited power, and the strange paradox of extreme privilege: when money can buy access, influence, and insulation — but it can’t buy...

Tom Silvagni: Condemning the crime, not the person
Tom Silvagni, son of AFL legend Stephen Silvagni and TV celebrity Jo Silvagni, was convicted on two counts of rape in 2025, despite pleading not guilty. He received a six-year jail sentence, after the judge remarked that the 23-year-old did not appear to show any remorse or understanding of...
