No Silly Questions episodes

May 18, 2022 So... what happens after the election?
How about we get some closure to this long, winding journey?
With the election only days away, it's time to think about what comes after the election. Yes, there is a post-election era. No, we don't have to listen to political ads for a little while. But there's plenty of important stuff still to chat about.
We have a massive federal election coming up. But before we engage young people in some big policy debates, we have to go on a journey to understand what’s at play. From The Daily Aus - creators of the viral news page, podcast and newsletter followed by over 350,000 Australians on social media - comes No Silly Questions. It's the podcast that will arm young people with everything they need to get involved in dinner table conversations ahead of the next federal election.
The series will feature in-depth interviews with key politicians - we’re obsessed with making sure young people have the right content before they get hit with a wave of pre-election news.
No Silly Questions is presented by political journalists Billi FitzSimons and Tom Crowley. It's presented by our partners at Future Super - Super with no fossil fuels and a plan for tackling climate change.
