The Post Postal Survey Show (live with Antony Green and Sally Rugg)
On the evening when the ABS' postal survey postbox finally slammed closed, Sally Rugg (GetUp's marriage equality campaign director) and Antony Green (the ABC's election analyst) shared their impressions of a most unusual event within Australian politics, from the perspective of a campaigner and a...
-
A Wake for the Citizenship Five
So, courtesy of the High Court, Malcolm Roberts is no longer a senator, because life is cruel, and schadenfreude is delicious. Recording in a pub, we commemorated his passing with beers and regrets that we've done so few podcasts recently that we've missed the chance to explore the details of his...
-
Yes (live with Dee Jefferson and Brendan Maclean)
So much talk about same-sex marriage, so little of it from the people on whose lives it will actually impact. So we invited Brendan Maclean (actor/singer/general performance powerhouse) and Dee Jefferson (Time Out's Arts and Culture editor) to tell us what it means to them. Recorded live at Giant...
-
Polls, Plebiscites and This Postal Palaver (with Rebecca Huntley)
Essential Communications' Rebecca Huntley talks APS and Dom through the postal survey shenanigans from the perspective of a professional pollster – how meaningful will the numbers be, exactly? Plus, the slow-burn dual citizenship debacle - will Barnaby Joyce do to Malcolm Turnbull what he...

Why Our Climate Policy Bights (with Peter Owen)
With the Coalition once again tying itself in knots over climate policy and renewable energy, we thought we'd talk to someone who wishes we'd just get on with it – Peter Owen, who's the Director of the Wilderness Society in South Australia. He makes the case for transitioning to 100% renewable...
-
It's Never Too Late For An Early Election (with Alice Workman)
Could there be an early election? Even though it feels like only yesterday that we had a really, really long one? Alice Workman (BuzzFeed) has a theory you'll want to hear – book your international travel now! Plus the latest cascading One Nation debacles and the occasional shot of covfefe.
-
Like Stunned Cattle To The Slaughter
We'll deny we said it, but One Nation are having a tough week. Meanwhile, the government can't make inroads in the polls, and Labor are for some reason experiencing leadership jitters right when they're on top. Oh, and we plug the next live show at Giant Dwarf on 6 June. Did we mention tickets…

First Anniversary Super Exciting Budget Birthday Party Edition

Budget Pre-Mortem (live with Kristina Keneally and Mark Humphries)

-
Reservoir Of Good Sense Dogs
Andrew P Street and Dom Knight dip into the Australian people's alleged reservoir of good sense to find Malcolm Turnbull rebranding himself as a warrior for Australian values. Like in the film Reservoir Dogs, kinda. Okay it's a tenuous analogy but what else is there that's reservoir-related?! And...
-
The War On Snowflakes (with Maddie Palmer)
Mark Latham's Outsiders is new to Facebook, so the Double Disillusionists have an even more low-fi competitor in the "people talking about politics on the internet" stakes. Maddie Palmer has watched His Outsideness (But Still On A Parliamentary Pension) in action on the prestigious The Internet,...
-
Beat the Q Society (live with Chris Taylor and Jacqueline Maley)
At our April live event, Jacqueline Maley (SMH) tells us about her curious trip to the Q Society's controversial event in North Ryde, and Chris Taylor (The Chaser) considers comedy in the Trump era. Next event is Tuesday May 2 - tickets on sale soon at giantdwarf.com.au

Rightsiders (with Mark Humphries)

Baby, It's Coal Outside (with Maddie Palmer)

The Shear Genius of Rod Culleton (with Jacqueline Maley)
