Australia is in its first recession in almost 30 years and the governments solution is for boomers to renovate their kitchens. Meanwhile in America, the widespread protests against the killing of George Floyd have lead Donald Trump to push the country towards civil war, with his police literally hitting out at Australian news media in the process. Good thing we live in Australia, says Scott Morrison.   Watch this episode on Youtube here: https://youtu.be/YRZLBCYF_b0 We're now on PodHero - listen to us on PodHero and a portion of your monthly subscription fee goes towards us and other podcasts your listen to.

We take an in-depth look at the past couple of weeks of Australia’s extraordinary response to the coronavirus pandemic: from the “non ideological” yet xenophobic economic legislation to the confusing messaging surrounding school closures and the over-enthusiastic police response when enforcing social distancing.

Also: Labor’s Jim Chalmers suggests we look beyond GDP to which Liberal Treasurer Josh Frydenberg says “No thanks, hippie!” And: Michael Chamberlin looks at the bizarre online conspiracy theories surrounding nine-year-old Aussie bullying victim Quaden Bayles, because you can always trust what you read on the internet.   Watch this episode on Youtube here: https://youtu.be/BM38sQj1aic Subscribe to our Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/newsfighters News Fighters is a “wacky clips”-based Aussie news comedy podcast, created and hosted by ex-Tonightly/Chaser editor Dylan Behan.

It’s another new daily pilot episode hosted by Bec Melrose. The Coronavirus COVID-19 is sweeping the world… so why won’t the World Health Organisation officially call it a pandemic? Why is it only saying it has “potential” like every report card I had in high school?! Also: Bernie Sanders swept the Nevada Caucus and is on his way to perhaps winning the Democratic nomination and maybe even beating Trump. How is he doing it? We interview Dylan James, a Kiwi academic who volunteered for Bernie in Iowa, about Bernie’s insanely dedicated and fervent ground support. And the Trump voters he encountered!

We’re back with a new daily pilot hosted by Tonightly headwriter Michael Chamberlin! Today: we look at Albo launching the new Labor climate policy… which seems awfully familiar. While Barnaby Joyce and Joel Fitzgibbon brawl in the hallways of Parliament House, Malcolm Turnbull can’t help but live-tweet the coming climate apocalypse. Also after triggering the LGBTQI community with an offensive slur-ridden ad, the ANZ apologises with a new ad that celebrates it’s pride… for slurs.

Yo yo yo! It’s summer music festival season so we look at huge Aussie hip hop drill group ONEFOUR, and the NSW Police shutting down their debut national tour, pressuring them into changing their lyrics and even trying to get their music taken down off the internet. Will taking the anti-authoritarianism out of Aussie hip-hop turn us into Russia or China? Or should ONEFOUR just pretend to be old white men so they get left alone? Also ScoMo raps!

While a bushfire crisis and catastrophic drought engulfs the country, Australia's politicians think it’s the perfect time to start blaming each other and triggering their opponents. We also look at Barnaby Joyce’s failed magnetism, Rupert Murdoch’s climate denier denial, Alan Jones’ cow obsession and why Scott Morrison should send thoughts and prayers to himself!

It’s our double-double length look at the unpredictable 2019 Canadian election. We examine all the political parties’ bad 90’s-rock style theme songs, why Justin Trudeau can’t escape the brown face incident, Andrew Scheer’s weird pants-based catchphrases, the multicultural racism of Quebec and how Australia could provide an answer to Canada’s political uncertainty.
