The 9pm Edict

The 9pm Autumn Series 2021 continues with blockchain and cryptocurrency realist David Gerard, author of "Attack of the 50 Foot Blockchain" and "Libra Shrugged: How Facebook Tried to Take Over the Money".

We talk about Bitcoin, of course, as well as cryptocurrency and blockchain technology more generally, Facebook's plan to reinvent money, anarcho-capitalism, money laundering, market manipulation, Elon Musk, Philomena Cunk, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), the nature of money, and even the nature of art.

In a week when many of Australia's political journalists and commentators have once again proven themselves inadequate for the job, I revisit a proposal first made in February 2012.

It's hard to believe that this podcast began in 2010. Welcome to a remix of the first recycled Edict -- a compilation of least-worst bits from the early episodes of The 9pm Edict first posted in March 2019.

In this episode, there's some nostalgia about Julia Gillard and Tony Abbott, the digital economy, Peter Garrett, Sydney's Vivid Festival, NIMBYs, journalism, and more.

The 9pm Autumn Series 2021 continues with another plunge down the wombat warren of internet disinformation, this time with Elise Thomas from the Institute for Strategic Dialogue.

We talk about disinformation campaigns including Russia's interference in the 2016 US elections, sure, but also campaigns by Turkey, Pakistan, between Armenia and Azerbaijan, and around both the Australian bushfires of 2019–2020 and the coronavirus pandemic.

And since it's April Fool's Day, I'll throw in some thoughts about that.

The 9pm Autumn Series 2021 continues with philosopher, reprobate, and all-round cleverthinker Patrick Stokes. He's also half of The Fake McCoys.

We talk about many things, including the joys of Denmark, Scott Morrison's week of disrespecting women, the colour of fleas, the Australian way of fear, Sydney-Melbourne rivalry during the Quarantimes, Clive Palmer, Elon Musk, the Lost Boys of Daylesford, and quite a lot about the philosophy of death.

In this episode we travel to Newcastle to kick off The 9pm Autumn Series 2021 with special guest Carol Duncan — journalist, multimedia producer and Newcastle City Councillor.

We talk about many, many things including her career in radio both commercial and at the ABC, being cool in your life, social media, family tragedies, cheap chocolate, mangroves, and Australian rock legends including Vanda & Young and Midnight Oil.

We're also joined by a surprise special guest, the Lord Mayor of Newcastle, the Right Worshipful Nuatali Nelmes. We spoke about all the changes in the city since I was last there in 2013, and about coal. She's also issued me a personal challenge, which I'm now stuck with.

Let's kick off 2021 properly with a bunch of stuff including The 9pm Autumn Series 2021, more episodes of The 8pm Quiz, and perhaps even more podcasts.

Yes it's all happening! I've just launched a Pozible crowdfunding campaign for The 9pm Autumn Series 2021.

Hit the first target and you'll get five episodes of The 9pm Edict podcast with special guests during March and April. Hit the second target and you'll get three more.

I'll announce further targets after that. There may be more one-on-one guests episodes. Or if we can go to the pub again there might be a Public House Forum. Or maybe even a special and disturbing livestreamed episode. Stay tuned!
