Hey folks!

This week we're popping around the news to cool off a little bit, see what's going on, catch up on our stories, all the good stuff.

We start with the story of a Queensland man with a "High public profile" who's named as a party in some legal proceedings. We follow up by talking about the extremely high profile Julie Bishop and the impact she had on the Australian National University, where she was (until recently) chancellor. For a change of pace, we look at a kooky doctor who published a book of all of his patients, and finish off with a One Nation MP with a Gay Muslim Boyfriend.

Hi folks!

Wonderful news—we live among geniuses! Yes, though we are pretty hard on the Australian intellect at times, there have been the odd resonant brainwaves on this parched continent. We talk about a super cool spear thrower, some political bullshit, a food, a vehicle, a drink and some surprising instrument lore!

Hi folks!

Hi folks!

We're back with Jac part 2, the second part of our...trilogy...saga...about Jacqui Lambie of Tasmania. We talk about Jacqui's time working her way up through the army, the types of boys she's had to deal with over her life, and the process of wresting any decency from the Department of Veteran's Affairs.

Hi folks!

The Good Ship Shouldn’ta makes her first stop on the North Western Coast of Tasmania, or as they call it in Devonport, The Coast. We are here to meet one of the more enigmatic and entertaining yet ignorantly racist politicians that this country has ever produced: Jacqui Lambie.

This will be a three part series, and we spend this week getting to know her family history and her upbringing, as well as the kooky politics that causes the Tasmanian senate to throw up these oddballs from time to time.

Hey Folks!

Rawr! That is how a Dinosaur would say "welcome back to Shouldn'ta Come"! This week, Ciaran takes us to paleontological height this podcast couldn't have dreamed of reaching. We look at the relatively few confirmed cases of Dinosaurs Down Under, including an extended look at Gondwanaland. It's a great time if you're into Dinosaurs, especially ones with slightly disappointing names.

Hey Folks!

It's the end of April, where things are getting wet and wild! (It's raining again). It's been raining bleak times lately, and I appreciate the chance to get them out of my head, have a laugh about them, and hopefully help people stay on top of some of the big and small stories that happened in the last few weeks.

We speak about Bikram Lama, Sydney's "Birdman", whose body lay at a train station for days until he was found. We go on into a wider look at homelessness, and how there isn't a serious solution on the table if it doesn't involve stopping people from owning second homes.

Going south, and drying up, we look at the ecological catastrophe unfolding at the Gwydir Wetlands, near Moree, in the Murray-Darling Basin. A local property owner gets water shut off for a bunch of turtles, who are either dying or being relocated.

Finally, we have a look at where money isn't going to go (The National Disability Insurance Scheme, or NDIS) and where money will be going (the military).

Morning folks! We've got a fun one this week, or at least one that's not about the worst of Australian society and war crimes.

In Australia, we have plenty of towns named after places in the British Isles, or at least after some Englishman or another. But have you heard of Surat, Queensland or Bagdad, Tasmania? Yes, we also have some places named after other parts of the world, and today we go on a quest to discover what place is named after somewhere the furthest away from it. We have a surprising result, which you'll have to wait until the end to hear!

Hey Folks!

Ben Roberts Smith, famously evil piece of shit war criminal, is also an abuser, a cheater, a general bully and has some of the most powerful supporters in the land.

Hopefully he'll go to jail!
