Gary Stevenson (aka Gary’s Economics) made millions betting on the collapse of the middle class. This week he joins Konrad to unpack why wealth inequality isn’t just getting worse (it’s structural) and what we can do to stop the rich getting richer while the poor get poorer (listening to this episode is honestly a solid start). Plus he delivers a personalised message to our very own homegrown billionaire Gina Rinehart

Become a DARK MONEY Funder 😉

This week Konrad and James decide whether the latest political scandal deserves the coverage it’s getting - or whether it’s just beauty pageant politics. Plus, Konrad has a big announcement to make about the latest IRL scheme for the punters… involving a gala, a lobbyist and selling his soul to the highest bidder. Most Outrageous Punter Mission Yet. HUGE.

This conversation reveals why three powerful families control 90% of what Australians think, and how corporate media's profit-first model is destroying real journalism while keeping punters in the dark about the biggest scams being pulled on them.

Dutch historian Rutger Bregman - the bloke who told billionaires to pay their bloody taxes at Davos and made Tucker Carlson have a meltdown on live TV - joins the pod to deliver a brutal reality check about political activism. He argues that making people "aware" of problems isn't enough anymore, and explains how punters can stop being political hobbyists and start building the kind of movements that actually change the world - even if it takes 75 years like it did for women's suffrage.

After so much pushback on the previous opinion expressed about the proposed superannuation tax changes, Punter Konrad sits down with economist Leith Van Onselen and some forceful youtube comments to explore if he was wrong to not be worried about the proposed decrease in tax concessions given to the wealthiest 0.5% of Australians.
