The 9pm Edict

Ah, 2017. A year when too much politics is not enough. What a year in Australia. What a year in the world.

For the penultimate episode of this podcast for 2017, join us for this live and extremely wonkish conversation from the wilds of suburban Sydney with two smart and informed panellists.

* Paula Matthewson aka @Drag0nista, political analyst and author.
* Josh Taylor, news editor, BuzzFeed Australia.

This episode was recorded in front of a live audience at the West Ryde Hotel in Sydney on Sunday 17 December 2017.

There's talk of the Bellelong by-election, Australia's two-party political system, chocolate, the same-sex marriage postal survey, Donald Trump, China, and even the National Broadband Network. Amongst many other things.

In less than three days the citizens you can hear around me here in Eastwood, Sydney, will be voting in the Bennelong by-election, a critical test of Malcolm Turnbull's leadership as Prime Minister of Australia.

We explore one of the world's greatest coincidences. President Donald Trump finally does something sensible. And we bring you the latest in science.

There's also talk of Bitcoin, bin chickens, nuclear weapons, and UFOs. And Nicholas Fryer takes a look through The Arch Window.

A random man shares his fear, a fear we all share. Nicholas Fryer makes life more enjoyable. And you know that end of the world thing? Pffft. The Cold War. That all turned out OK, so what's the worry?

There's also talk of gamified urination, paranoia, nuclear war, legumes, gelato, and bamboo. And Nicholas Fryer takes a look through The Arch Window.

Do you think we're close to a nuclear war breaking out? That's just one of the trivial questions addressed in this podcast.

There's also talk of gay marriage, racism, British tourists, more racism, and Senator Malcolm Roberts. And of course Nicholas Fryer takes a look through The Arch Window.

US defence analysts can't trust their own president. Senator Malcolm Roberts takes us to his happy place. And an old woman explains where the homosexuals come from.

There's also talk of Donald Trump, The Orb, racism, government incompetence, Pauline Hanson, and a giraffe. And of course Nicholas Fryer with a look through The Arch Window.

North Korea launched yet another ballistic missile in the general direction of the ocean. So stick a nuke on it, and w're fucked. Well, Japan is fucked. Or the oceans is fucked. Whatever.

There's also stories from my recent travels, cybersecurity, spooks, terrorists, and something from the Dough Anthony All Stars. And of course Nicholas Fryer with a look through The Arch Window.

But overall, the message is that we're fucked, the man running America is a goose, so we're really, really fucked. Plus other stuff.

This is the first episode of this podcast for nearly three months, and what I foretold has come to pass.

"'President Trump', get used to saying it," I first warned you on 5 November 2015, a full year before the US elections.

Told you so.

It's not really a matter of careful what you wish for, because I wasn't wishing for this. I just foresaw this new era in human history. I can indeed see through time, and you people really do need to start recognising this simple fact.
