Glad You Asked! with Jarred Keane

Veronica is a US citizen and former Naval Nurse who has been lucky enough to spend the pandemic in the relatively Covid-safe land of Australia. It may only have made things even more frustrating to watch from afar though, as her home country looks to come apart at the seams. 

We talked about presidents from Nixon to Biden, the future of politics in the US as well as here in Aus, her life inside the belly of the beast that is the US armed forces, and of course, policing or lack thereof which left so many people in shock last week with the attempted Coup/Riot at the US Capitol.

This week's guest is Marty Bright, a comedian, poet, singer, free spirit and festival guru in some sense. He is also an old and close friend which made him perfectly suited to talk about the potentially tricky topic of LOVE.

 What does it mean to you? What kind of Love is most important to you and what are you lacking? Where did you get your role models or cues on Loving others and yourself from? Why is this such an immense, vital thing in life, and yet so elusive? If Love is as important as food, water,  and air, why can't you get it as easily as those things?

We may not have gotten to all of these questions, but we did keep it M15 + which is something.

From idyllic sunsets to prison fights and deadly drug addictions, this part 2 of Simon's story.

Picking up with the party-fiend running low on funds in coastal Brazil, still looking for adventure and the endless summer. Love sneaks up on him hard and fast, ultimately changing his life forever. Little did he know that it would also set him on an even darker and more dangerous path than he could have imagined.

At one point in time, Simon Brodie and Jarred were both comedians, but before he got out of the game, Simon invited Jarred to Amsterdam for a summer of adventure, excess and debauchery that changed both of their lives. This is that story.

Christina Van Look is a Comedian, a High School History teacher of over 20 years, a mother of two, and a former member of an intense Christian cult. In this episode she and Jarred explore the machinations of a global organisation that eschews publicity or evangelism in favour of rigid Zionist control and strange takes on the Christian faith. 

More than just a religious experience, her years inside a cult showed her how important your own self worth is when faced with controlling power structures in all forms. It's been a decade since she broke free and the journey is far from over.

Evan served in the Australian Army between 2010 and 2016, deploying to both Iraq and Afghanistan in that time.

He walks us through the recruitment process of being a soldier, the training and the all encompassing desire to be deployed, followed by the shocking reality of combat and its aftermath on the human psyche. 

With the release of the Brereton Report, and the ever-ongoing vilification of people who speak out against the military like Julian Assange, there are a lot of questions that people are asking and we do our best to get into them.

Acclaimed author, journalist and comedian David Smiedt talks about life growing up in Apartheid South Africa, moving to Australia, coming to comedy later in life and meeting your heroes. 

In Memory of Dave Jory. 
Loving husband and father, a light in any room, he was adored by many within and beyond the Australian comedy community. He will be sorely missed. F**k Cancer.

While Fady relaxes by the beach, Jarred recounts the awkwardness of nostalgia pangs when passing an active school playground. This episode continues Fady's fascination with Australian culture and history at an apt time during NAIDOC week with musings on the "One True God" and the interconnectivity of the human experience that gets forgotten in a repetitive cycle of projecting our own vacuums of experience.
We talk DMT, White Australia, Michael Jackson, and the power of the slur "Leftie".
