Did we get COVID wrong?

Karl sits down with Gerard Rennick for a deep dive into vaccine mandates, mRNA science, lockdown decisions, Net Zero, and the growing distrust in Australia’s institutions.

From COVID regret to climate change skepticism, this is a long-form conversation about power, policy and the future of the country.

The death of Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes – better known as El Mencho – has triggered a dangerous global power vacuum. But what happens next could directly impact Australia.

Crime expert Chris Dalby joins The Karl Stefanovic Show to reveal why Australia has become a prime target for Mexican cartels, how narco submarines are crossing the Pacific undetected and why Mexico’s escalating military response may make the crisis worse.

On this episode of The Karl Stefanovic Show, Chris delves into:

• Why Australia is now a ‘dream destination for cartels

• The narco subs already heading for Australian shores

• How corrupt politicians are controlled through terror

• Why Australia’s meth crisis is tied to Mexican cartels

• The global consequences of El Mencho’s death

• How social media turned cartel bosses into celebrities

This isn’t just Mexico’s problem anymore.

Do ISIS brides deserve help to return to Australia?Should the Prime Minister take responsibility for Bondi?And are Australians who support One Nation really a “dark force”?Karl sits down with the Prime Minister for one of the most direct interviews of the year — challenging him on:• Whether Section 14 should be used to keep ISIS brides out of Australia

• Claims Australia is assisting returning women with schooling and resettlement

• The Andrew Mountbatten case and alleged crimes against an Australian citizen

• Trust in leadership and whether Australians believe the government understands how tough things are right now

• The cost of living crisis — and who owns it

• The Bondi attack and political responsibility

• The backlash after calling One Nation a “dark force”

• Whether frustrated voters are “far right” — or just fed up

Karl Stefanovic sits down with Big Chocky and Sam Bamford from 2WorldsCollide for a raw, unfiltered political conversation.

From Prince Andrew and the redacted Epstein files to ISIS brides, immigration policy and the radicalisation debate — they ask whether Australia has gone soft, and who’s accountable for where we are now.

They also unpack Pauline Hanson’s controversial comments, Anthony Albanese’s political strategy, the fallout from Bondi and why many believe Victoria is in serious trouble.

Plus — has the definition of “far right” shifted so far that ordinary views are now labelled extreme?

A big episode. A big conversation.

Kyle Sandilands has built a career spraying politicians, celebrities and anyone who crosses him.

But behind the voice Australia knows is a childhood most people never heard about.

In this raw conversation with Karl Stefanovic, Kyle opens up about kidnapping, violence, alcoholism in his family and periods of homelessness — and what that kind of chaos does to a young boy growing into a man.

He talks about believing he would never be loved. About burying his pain in weight.

About hating therapy while Karl admits he saw four or five therapists in the past year. Kyle says weed is his only vice. Nothing else.

They unpack the brain aneurysm that scared him into getting his life together — and why the only thing that truly matters now is his son.

Kyle speaks candidly about making millions for 25 years, why he sprays people and doesn’t regret it because it’s authentic, his views on Anthony Albanese’s policies (even though they’re mates), his blow-up with Barnaby Joyce, and why he loves Donald Trump.He also lifts the lid on Jackie O — calling her a “loon” for the astrology and moon stuff, and saying he’s seen a million different personalities over the years.

She says she was thrown under a bus by her own party. She says Australia has lost its confidence. And she’s done playing it safe.

In this unfiltered conversation on The Karl Stefanovic Show, Jacinta Price opens up about internal party fractures, what she really thinks of Angus Taylor, and what her political future now looks like.

She doesn’t hold back on national identity either — calling Welcome to Country ‘pointless’, arguing Australia should unite under one flag, and questioning whether weak leadership has left the country divided and uncertain.

From loyalty and ambition to assimilation and accountability, this is a straight-down-the-line conversation about where Australia is heading — and who’s prepared to say what others won’t.

In this episode of The Karl Stefanovic Show, Karl sits down with Michael Maguire for a rare, deeply honest conversation about leadership, pressure and what it actually takes to build a winning rugby league team.

Madge opens up about taking on one of the toughest jobs in Australian sport — coaching the Brisbane Broncos in a parochial market with relentless media pressure — and why he never flinched. He walks through his coaching blueprint: hard standards, brutal honesty, trust built over time, and a belief that players grow when you genuinely care about them as people first.

They dive into Reece Walsh’s development, the misconceptions around his game, and how maturity, discipline and trust transformed raw talent into match-winning impact. Madge also breaks down how belief is built across a season, why hard training is non-negotiable, and how pressure moments — injuries, suspensions, hostile crowds — reveal who you really are.

From rebuilding culture to delivering when the noise is loudest, this is a masterclass in leadership, resilience and elite performance — on and off the field.

In this episode, Barnaby Joyce joins Karl for a raw, unfiltered conversation about power, politics and why he believes everyday Australians — particularly those in the country — keep getting screwed.

Barnaby talks candidly about his semi-fun friction with Anthony Albanese, and how he gets under the Prime Minister’s skin.

He lays out his view on how Australia could be a genuinely rich country again — if governments backed productivity, energy security and regional Australia instead of bureaucracy and ideology.He argues that country people pay the highest price for bad policy, from environmental regulation to energy decisions made in cities by people who never feel the consequences.

Barnaby reflects on what government used to be like “in the old days” — when leaders were tougher, more human, and less afraid of making hard calls — and why he believes modern politics has lost that edge.The conversation turns sombre as he speaks about the horror of Bondi and what it did to the national psyche — a moment he says pushed many Australians to finally say “no more.”

From there, Barnaby delivers a blunt critique of what he calls a sanitised political culture, arguing Australians are sick of being lectured, controlled and told what they can and can’t say.It’s a confronting, controversial discussion about leadership, national identity and whether Australia still has the backbone to make decisions in its own interest.

In this episode, I sit down with Curtis Stone for a brutally honest conversation about what really happens behind the success.

Curtis opens up about almost losing the $4m business he backed with his brother, the bad review he literally threw in the bin because he knew it was wrong, and the reality of the drug epidemic he sees every day living in LA.

He talks about why he actually moved to LA in the first place (a free trip with his mates), and why Australia is pulling him home again — including the restaurant he wants to open here next.There are lighter moments too: the panic of Paul McCartney turning up to dinner with no vegan meals prepared, the blind date with his wife he nearly didn’t go on, and what it was really like working under Marco Pierre White — intense, intimidating, and formative.

We also talk steak — including the perfect cut served at Curtis’ LA restaurant, Gwen (we tasted it… it’s elite).
