Hellooooooooo (but said to rhyme with "boo"). It's Yani and Ciaran, back once again to discuss the ghosts of Australian colonialism. But today, we will be looking at some of the frightening ways the violence of the past shapes the lives of the present, through some place names, hyperincarceration of Indigenous people, and maybe some spooky stories from the outback.

Good Morning and Good Riddance! Wait. Bad Riddance! Get off the damn table!

We're here to talk about the NEWS! Not, like, "The News", but Data Centres, Sweatshops, Fast Fashion and Ben Roberts-Smith

Is that Wedding Bells I hear? Perhaps a Sitar? Maybe a Balinese instrument or felt texta of some sort?

It's time for Part 2 of our WAGs and HABs series, and this week we look at a young man living his best life in Britain, some white Maharanees and a surprising appearance from a giant of our childhoods.

Congratulations! You are an Australian and you have hitched your wagon to a powerful or influential person overseas!

We've got a fun one for you over the next couple of weeks, looking at Australians who have found themselves in odd situations, married to foreign aristocracy and such. We look at exiled Russians, Tech Moguls and whatever it is Elle MacPherson's been up to.

Hi again everybody! What are your thoughts on the expression of the soul? The latent homosexuality of the idealised Australian man? The moments of realisation that turn a story on its head?

We finish, this week, our unexpected little two-part series on Dave "Hughesy" Hughes, Australia's comedian attempting to rebrand as a serious ambassador of money. We mainly, however, talk about the traditional theoretical components of tragedy and see what we think about them.

Hi again everybody! This week we are stooping to cover entertainment news; as everybody, we are confused and astounded by the recent political turn of erstwhile Australian Hughesy, and it felt like a good time to knock out one of these more fun episodes. We take a look at the big fellas biography and then start to talk about tragic tropes, but then we go on too long so you can look forward to more Hughesy next week!

Good morning party people! What a wonderful week it's been, unseasonably warm like every other season! Wait

We have guests again! This week we are lucky enough to be joined by James (Brisbane based musician with PistonFist, The Black Swamp, Razor Nun, Swamp Gully Howlers and a writer for Good Call Live) and Gab (cool gal, friend of the show, young person) to go through the history of chivalry and chauvinism through chorus in this country. We had such a good time we ended up talking for more than two hours, so there's plenty of listening for your wonderful ears this week!

Anyway, we're here to talk about Australia's most embarrassing patriotic songs throughout the long and proud history of the nation. We're going to cover some hits; obviously, the National Anthem, C'mon Aussie C'mon and Waltzing Matilda; but you're also going to learn about modern internet parodies, ANZAC-era battle hymns and, of course, Aussie Aussie Aussie, Oi Oi Oi.

Good morning folks! If you're a person alive in this country, you're desperate to conceive of a way of life that isn't hurtling towards extended pain and disaster for your descendants. This week, we chat to one of many groups trying to prototype a better, fairer and more sustainable world—my old employers at the Canberra Food Co-operative Shop and Café!

We speak with Tyla, an old friend who is part of the Co-op's 50th celebration organising team, and she was such a lovely time we're tempted to ask her to come back.

Among the other celebrations, they are launching a cookbook that doubles as a history book! If you'd love to preorder a copy, please do so at this link: https://cbrfoodcoop.org.au/index.php/product/50th-anniversary-recipe-book-preorder/

You ever wanted to have sex with a cryptid? Ever tried to fight all of your party guests with a baby lock? How many kinds of animal can we talk about!

This week, for Ciaran's birthday I sourced some wonderful questions from friends and fans and put them to Ciaran, so we can all get to know him a little better, find out his thoughts on stuff and perhaps have a little chuckle.

Good morning everybody! Had this one ready so I've dropped it a day early.

This week, we're just having a little look at the news, but we're going to be focusing on some oddly timed stories from the ABC and Guardian (among other papers of record). Among the multinational rescue effort reacting to the deadly Nepal/Tibet floods is China, and in the West, that's an opportunity to launder Sinophobia into respectable press.

We also talk about cyborg cockroaches with needles attached to their back and AI Boyfriends for Vulnerable Teenagers.
