Hey Folks!

We are back with an episode that isn't a whimsical adventure, so if you were hoping for more of that, wait for next week I guess? We're talking about Surrogacy! The practice of implanting a fertilised egg into a woman, usually a poor woman, who's going to carry it for you so that you can have a baby. This is, in our opinion, a gross practice.

We look at what the laws about surrogacy are around the country and around the world, with the context that Australia's surrogacy laws may be subject to change. Do you think it'd be good if you could pay people for this? Then you're not going to enjoy this episode.

We then spend a bit of time bullying some of the heinous people interviewed by our news sources for a series of articles about international surrogacy, and the spurious arguments—harm minimisation, bodily autonomy and queer rights—that are used to justify it to the public.

Clickety-click and welcome back to Shouldn'ta Come! This week Ciaran is feeling a little nostalgic and so we dive into an Australian classic film, Dot and the Kangaroo. Australia's second ever animated feature film is a cherished memory for generations of Aussie kids, but what do you remember about it? And did you know there were eight subsequent Dot films? Come closer, eat this magical root, and come with us into the Dot-verse.

Hey Folks,

Among the death, disaster and looming famine, interest rates have gone up. I don't really know what that means, so we try our best to understand what levers are actually being pulled here. We spend a bit of time looking at the people who make up the RBA board and their odd connections to a specific country...obviously, it's Israel.

Hey Folks,

Remember when the Australian prime minister cowardly supported illegal, brutal and racist military action by the United States and Israel? Oh, I'm not being specific enough? Rather than the ongoing Iran attacks, the Genocide in Palestine, the invasion of Syria or the string of Gulf Wars, we will today be talking about the 2003 war in Iraq.

We start by looking at whether John Howard was ever going to not support the war, and how few lies he actually had to tell to get it over the line. As it turns out, the Australian prime minister can unilaterally send the country into war. That's great!

We then spend a bit of time looking at what little propaganda was deemed necessary by the Howard Government, to ensure that the average Australian was as frightened as possible in an effort to further deteriorate critical thinking and empathy in this country.

Then we talk about All Saints for a minute.

Hey folks!

If you're in the Brisbane area and Friday the 13th of March has not passed yet, please consider signing the Save Woogaroo Forest petition, regarding a development in Springfield threatening to clear 136 hectares of Koala Habitat. Link here.

This week, we start by taking a brief look at the phenomenon of European wellness trends describing extremely mundane activities, like going on a walk or getting some sun. Then, we continue our exploration of mundane activities to dip our toes into the ongoing situation of the Kyle and Jackie-O feud—really Australian Political Content. We then cross over to our Coward Rankings team to introduce our new segment, and finally Yani regales Ciaran with some language described as unparliamentary in this great state.

Hey Folks,

We're putting this episode out early because we talk about a few timely things, and don't want to be completely out of date when we put it out.

I (Yani) am going to make the classic mistake of saying "Khomeni" when talking about "Khamenei", but just know I mean "the guy who just died".

We also talk about the so-called "ISIS Brides" and the disgusting jingoism and sadism behind the Australian government response to their plight and suffering. We compare this to the celebratory tone often taken towards bloodthirsty behaviour by Australians going to serve in the IDF.

The 'Save Our Wombats' petition mentioned at the start of the show can be found here: https://epetitions.parliament.act.gov.au/details/e-pet-015-26

Hey folks, lovely to have you here on Shouldn'ta Come! Bob Katter is notorious for 'claiming to be a blackfella on odd occasions' while being an old-school racist. He's also regarded as slightly confusing for the occasional seemingly contradictory belief, especially when it comes to Economics issues. This week, we have a look those two aspects of Bob Katter, Australia's most notorious politician, as we continue our deep dive into the man.

Welcome back to Shouldn’ta Come! This week is all about updates and news, baby.

Ruh-roh, Raggy! Recent changes to protest and hate speech laws might mean a phrase in John Farnham’s ‘Two Strong Hearts’ is ILLEGAL.

In NBA basketball news, are we to see reform or revolution with the draft process?

Then we (don’t) travel back to K’gari to discuss the impact of a Canadian tourist’s death on the dingo population. We also get to learn about a new guy, animal killer - sorry, culler - Andrew Powell.

Next we farewell Sussan Ley as leader of the opposition and welcome new leader Angus Taylor… he’s an embarrassment.

Ever wanted to harass a 15-year-old? You should be a security guard for A-League Soccer in Sydney! Bonus points if you lie about the rules of the stadium to force a child to remove her shirt.

Corruption! Economics! Business! Andrew Conroy! Gambling! Israel! Olympics! The terrible knowledge of our inferiority in a world of corporate pedophile elites!

(Note: sometimes it’s all a bit grim)

Hey folks! I prophesize that you're going to listen to this episode and share it with all your friends!

We take a look at some of the prophecies—predictions without percentages—that have visited Australia's shores since colonisation. There's the Smith Wigglesworth statements, The Mulunga Cult during the Indigenous Resistance, and then some modern kooks giving us their awful opinions.

Good morning everybody! I hope you're ready to dive into the history of Pauline Hanson, because that's what we're doing today. It's going to be a multi parter, and we start looking at the shit husbands she had before she was famous.
