    Apr 10 2026

    The US-Iran ceasefire is already fraying. We go through what's actually happened in the last 24 hours: the ten-point plan Iran had on the table for weeks before Trump presented it as a win, the Pakistan PM's copy-paste tweet, Israel's strikes on Lebanon, and the Strait of Hormuz closing again. The signals are contradictory and the official narrative doesn't hold up.

    From there we get into Ben Roberts-Smith. His arrest and the campaign to strip his VC have split opinion sharply. We look at what his case reveals about how Australia treats its soldiers, what combat actually does to people, and whether this country still has any appetite for what war requires.

    In the Plus+ extension: the Fabian Society, Annie Besant, George Bernard Shaw, and the eugenics program that ran underneath progressive thought in the early 20th century. The Fabians wanted to remake society from the top down and they were patient about it. We trace how their ideas moved from the drawing room into education, law, and bureaucracy, and how utopian language kept covering for what was a project of population management and elite control.

  • 1.08 - Inescapable Podcast - 133 Days Later
    Apr 3 2026

    Joel Davis is granted bail after 133 days at Long Bay over a Telegram post, with twenty conditions attached. We look at the case and the two-tier justice it exposes. Then: the federal government's $150 million package to monitor politicians' social media for "ominous characters," while ordinary Australians don't feel safe in their own homes.

    From there, black teen takeovers. Three hundred black teenagers rampaged through Clapham over five days. Fifty shut down Werribee Plaza in Australia. The same pattern in Chicago. Social media coordinates the crowds, officials reach for euphemisms, and one commentator's response cut through all of it: I want my country back.

    In the Plus+ extension we trace the word "racism" back to Magnus Hirschfeld, the Weimar-era sexologist who also coined "transvestite," ran the first trans clinic, and whose work seeded much of modern gender theory. Then: a string of violent incidents, axe attacks, train platform pushings, that look random until patterns emerge. We examine the role of online contagion, copycat behaviour, and ideology in what's starting to look less like isolated breakdowns and more like a trend.

  • 1.07 - Inescapable - The New Constables
    Mar 27 2026

    Australia's fuel crisis is accelerating and the cracks are starting to show. Service stations are running dry, truckers are stranded, bin collections are being cut, and a government is scrambling to catch up with a second emergency cabinet meeting. We track how bad it has actually gotten on the ground, why the same scenes are playing out from Chile to Thailand, and why some financial analysts are bracing for a global depression.

    From there we get into remigration, the increasingly mainstream argument that mass immigration and national identity are on a collision course, and spend time with the framework of Jayant Bhandari, an Indian migrant who pulls no punches in critiquing his own culture and questioning whether it can ever truly assimilate into Western society. It is a confronting conversation that cuts across resource strain, demographic change, and what holds a civilization together.

    In the Plus+ extension, we turn to Australia's culture war battlegrounds: Indigenous recognition, the Welcome to Country industry, historical narratives, and the media's role in shaping all of it. Competing versions of the country's past and future are being constructed in real time, and we dig into what that means for where Australia is actually headed.

I was surprised by Australia's lack of a 1st amendment type laws. Being American, we always see Australia as some Oasis of sunshine and good waves but westerners rarely pay attention to anything outside the US unfortunately. Great new Podcast! love it, love everything about it.

still wicked good!
