Hosted by Sam Bamford, a former Australian Army infantry paratrooper and combat veteran with a deployment to Afghanistan in 2012, the 2 Worlds Collide Podcast has evolved into one of Australia’s most outspoken independent platforms.
What began as conversations around resilience and mindset has grown into a podcast that challenges prevailing cultural narratives, questions political orthodoxy, and pushes for a common-sense approach, without apology.
Sam sits down with politicians, veterans, athletes, thinkers, and everyday Australians for long-form, uncensored conversations about what’s really happening in Australia and the West, from politics and national security to masculinity, culture, accountability, and the real-world consequences of bad ideas.
This podcast isn’t designed to make people comfortable.
It’s designed to ask hard questions, demand accountability, and say what others won’t.
If you’re tired of scripted media, safe opinions, and being talked down to, 2 Worlds Collide is for you.

Wed, 03 Jun 2026 - 130 - #102 - Dr Joanna Howe - Pro-Life Laws, Immigration & The Future of Australia
(At the request of Joanna and James, I removed two short 5-second clips from this episode. I normally don’t do this, but respected the guests’ request on this occasion.) 🎙 In This Episode of the 2 Worlds Collide Podcast, I sit down with Dr Joanna Howe and James Howe for a direct, fiery, and challenging conversation about abortion laws, immigration, national identity, and the future of Australia. We dive into Joanna’s pro-life bill currently being pushed through the South Australian Parliament — discussing the reasoning behind it, the public reaction, and why the debate around these issues has become so emotionally charged in modern Australia. From there, the conversation shifts into immigration, culture, and the bigger question of “What is an Australian?” — leading to a passionate and at times intense debate starting around the 25-minute mark. This wasn’t a safe or scripted conversation. There were disagreements, challenging moments, and tough exchanges — but that’s the point. If Australians can’t openly debate difficult issues and still shake hands at the end, then we risk becoming a society driven by cancellation instead of conversation. 🧭 In This Episode We Cover:🇦🇺 Joanna Howe’s pro-life bill⚖️ Abortion laws in South Australia🌏 Immigration & national identity🧠 “What is an Australian?”🔥 Heated debate & difficult conversations📰 Cancel culture & public pressure💬 The importance of open discussion 💥 Support independent voices🧢 Merch: https://www.2worldscollide.com.au/cat...🤝 Join Patreon: https://www.2worldscollide.com.au/s-p... 📺 Stay ConnectedYouTube: @2worldscollideInstagram: @2worldscollidepodcastX: @2worldsPodcastWebsite: https://www.2worldscollide.com.au 🔖 Follow the conversation#2WorldsCollide #JoannaHowe #AustralianPolitics #Immigration #NationalIdentity #ProLife #FreeSpeech #AustralianPodcast #IndependentMedia

🎙 In This Episode of the 2 Worlds Collide Podcast, I sit down with Jeremy Van Akerlaken — better known online as Clown Repellent — for a raw, unfiltered conversation about culture, politics, free speech, and the issues many people feel are being ignored by mainstream media. Jeremy has built a large following online by doing something simple but increasingly rare: saying exactly what he thinks. Through his platform Clown Repellent, he’s become known for calling out what he sees as cultural absurdities, political hypocrisy, and the growing tension around free speech and public debate. In this episode we cover absolutely everything — the culture wars, censorship, media narratives, masculinity, politics, immigration, social media, and why so many people feel like the world has lost its mind. Nothing is off limits. We talk about how Jeremy built his platform, why his content resonates with so many people, and what happens when someone decides to challenge the dominant narrative online. This isn’t a carefully scripted conversation — it’s a straight, honest discussion about the issues many other podcasts wouldn’t touch. 🧭 In This Episode We Cover 🎭 The rise of @clown_repellent and building a following online🗣 Free speech, censorship and speaking openly online🌏 Culture wars and the changing social landscape📱 Social media, media narratives and public debate👊 Masculinity, identity and modern society🇦🇺 Politics, immigration and the direction of Western culture🔥 Why some conversations are becoming harder to have publicly 💥 Support independent voices 🧢 Merchhttps://www.2worldscollide.com.au/category/all-products 🤝 Join Patreonhttps://www.2worldscollide.com.au/s-projects-side-by-side 📺 Stay Connected YouTube: @2worldscollideInstagram: @2worldscollidepodcastX: @2worldsPodcastWebsite: https://www.2worldscollide.com.au 🔖 Follow the conversation #ClownRepellent #JeremyVanAkerlaken #2WorldsCollide #FreeSpeech #CultureWars #Podcast #PoliticalCommentary #SocialMediaDebate #Australia
Tue, 10 Mar 2026 - 112 - #84 - Cory Bernadi - Inside the Political Crisis Facing Australia
🎙 In This Episode of the 2 Worlds Collide Podcast, I sit down with Cory Bernardi — former Australian Senator and current lead One Nation candidate for South Australia’s Legislative Council in the upcoming state election — for a direct and wide-ranging conversation about the future of Australia, the failures of modern politics, and the growing disconnect between government and everyday Australians. Cory spent over a decade representing South Australia in the Federal Senate and became one of the most outspoken voices in Australian politics. During his time in Parliament he challenged the political establishment on issues including government spending, national sovereignty, cultural change, energy policy and the direction of the country. After leaving the Liberal Party and founding the Australian Conservatives, Cory has now returned to the political arena as the lead One Nation candidate for the South Australian Legislative Council, running in the upcoming state election. In this episode we break down the political landscape in Australia today — from the cost-of-living crisis and immigration policy to energy, national security, and the role of media in shaping public debate. We also discuss Cory’s time inside Parliament, what really happens behind closed doors in Canberra, and why he believes many Australians are losing trust in both major political parties. This is a serious, honest conversation about where Australia is heading — and whether the country can course-correct before it’s too late. 🧭 In This Episode We Cover: 🇦🇺 Cory Bernardi’s political journey and time in the Australian Senate🏛 What really happens behind the scenes in Canberra📉 Cost of living, government spending and economic pressure on Australians⚡ Energy policy, net zero and Australia’s economic future🗳 The growing distrust in major political parties📰 Media influence and the battle for free and open debate🇦🇺 Cory’s return to politics as the lead One Nation candidate for SA’s Legislative Council 💥 Support independent voices 🧢 Merch:https://www.2worldscollide.com.au/category/all-products 🤝 Join Patreon:https://www.2worldscollide.com.au/s-projects-side-by-side 📺 Stay Connected YouTube: @2worldscollideInstagram: @2worldscollidepodcastX: @2worldsPodcastWebsite: https://www.2worldscollide.com.au 🔖 Follow the conversation #CoryBernardi #2WorldsCollide #AustralianPolitics #PoliticalPodcast #OneNation #CostOfLiving #EnergyPolicy #FreeSpeech #AustralianSenate #AustraliaDebate

🎙 In This Episode of the 2 Worlds Collide Podcast, I sit down with Amos Gill — one of Australia’s funniest and most globally recognised comedians — for a wide-ranging, hilarious, and thought-provoking conversation about life, geopolitics, culture, and the absurdity of modern existence. Amos has built a remarkable career from Adelaide to the world stage — starting as a runner-up in triple j’s RAW Comedy Competition and going on to host major radio shows, sell-out stand-up tours across Australia, the UK, and the USA, and open for comedy heavyweights like Jim Jefferies. In this episode we dig into the realities of living between Australia and America, how comedy intersects with serious issues, and why laughing at the chaos of politics, war, and culture can sometimes teach us more than the news ever will. We also unpack topics including freedom of speech, cancel culture, the war in Ukraine and Afghanistan, life on the road, and the stark differences between Aussie and American life — all delivered with Amos’s signature sharp wit. This isn’t just another comedy chat.It’s an honest, clever ride into the funny — and the serious — with one of the brightest comic minds going. 🧭 In This Episode We Cover:😂 How comedy intersects with real-world issues🇦🇺🇺🇸 Life between Australia and the USA🎤 Freedom of speech and cultural tension⚔️ War, politics and modern conflict commentary📺 Cancel culture and social media censorship🎭 Behind the scenes of touring and performing globally 💥 Support independent voices🧢 Merch: https://www.2worldscollide.com.au/category/all-products🤝 Join Patreon: https://www.2worldscollide.com.au/s-projects-side-by-side 📺 Stay Connected:YouTube: @2worldscollideInstagram: @2worldscollidepodcastX: @2worldsPodcastWebsite: https://www.2worldscollide.com.au 🔖 Follow the conversation:#AmosGill #2WorldsCollide #ComedyPodcast #StandUpComedy #FreeSpeech #CancelCulture #Geopolitics #WarAndComedy #AussieInUSA #JimJefferiesPodcast

🎙 In This Episode of the 2 Worlds Collide Podcast, I sit down with Senator Alex Antic for a direct, unfiltered conversation on free speech, government oversight, and the growing political tension shaping Australia’s future. Alex is one of the most outspoken voices in federal parliament when it comes to civil liberties, and in this episode we dig into why free speech is being narrowed, how government power has expanded with little scrutiny, and what that means for everyday Australians. We also unpack the left’s growing fear of a political shift to the right, the backlash against dissenting voices, and why open debate is increasingly being treated as a threat rather than a foundation of democracy. From there, we dive into foreign lobbying and influence, how it operates inside Australian politics, and why transparency and accountability matter more now than ever. This isn’t party talking points.It isn’t political theatre. It’s a serious conversation about power, control, and the consequences of silencing disagreement. 🧭 In This Episode We Cover:🗣️ Free speech and the limits being imposed on public debate🏛️ Government oversight and unchecked power⚖️ The political left and fear of a rightward shift🌍 Foreign lobbying and external influence in Australian politics🇦🇺 Democracy, dissent, and national sovereignty🔍 Why transparency and accountability still matter 💥 Support independent voices🧢 Merch: https://www.2worldscollide.com.au/category/all-products🤝 Join Patreon: https://www.2worldscollide.com.au/s-projects-side-by-side 📺 Stay Connected:YouTube: @2worldscollideInstagram: @2worldscollidepodcastX: @2worldsPodcastWebsite: https://www.2worldscollide.com.au 🔖 Follow the conversation:#AlexAntic #2WorldsCollide #FreeSpeech #GovernmentOversight #ForeignInfluence #AustralianPolitics #CivilLiberties #Accountability #CommonSense

🎙 In This Episode of the 2 Worlds Collide Podcast, I sit down with Ben Duxson, a farmer from rural Victoria, for a raw, unfiltered conversation on land, livelihoods, and the growing conflict between government policy and the people who feed the country. Ben is part of Farmers Fightback, a grassroots organisation pushing back against government policies that farmers say are threatening productive farmland in the name of the green energy agenda. We unpack what’s happening on the ground — land acquisition pressures, renewable energy projects being forced into rural communities, and why farmers feel ignored, overridden, and sacrificed for political targets made far away from the paddock. We also talk about the bigger picture: food security, rising costs, generational farming families under threat, and what happens when ideology replaces common sense. 👉 Follow and support Farmers Fightback — they’re on the front line of this fight: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/1Ey14VuAep/?mibextid=wwXIfr Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wallaloogregredistrict TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@wallaloo.gre.gre Website: https://farmersfightback.com This isn’t activism theatre.It isn’t political spin.

Thu, 26 Feb 2026 - 108 - #80 - Senator Barnaby Joyce - When Government Decisions Hit Home
🎙 In This Episode of the 2 Worlds Collide Podcast, I sit down with Barnaby Joyce for a wide-ranging, unfiltered conversation on service, responsibility, and the growing crises facing everyday Australians. Barnaby comes from a proud military family, and we begin by unpacking that history — what service, sacrifice, and duty have meant across generations, and how those values have shaped his view of leadership and country. From there, we dive head-first into the cost-of-goverment crisis, the pressure on Australian families, and how government decisions have contributed to the economic strain people are feeling right now. We also break down the energy crisis — soaring power prices, energy security, net-zero policy impacts, and why Australians are paying more while getting less certainty about the future. This isn’t a rehearsed political appearance.It isn’t soundbites or spin. It’s a direct conversation about accountability, consequences, and what happens when governments lose touch with the people they’re meant to serve. 🧭 In This Episode We Cover:🎖️ Barnaby’s family military history and service💰 The real cost-of-living pressures on Australians⚡ Australia’s energy crisis and rising power bills🏛️ Government decision-making and long-term consequences🇦🇺 Responsibility, leadership, and national priorities🗣️ Speaking plainly in a political culture built on avoidance 💥 Support independent voices🧢 Merch: www.2worldscollide.com.au/category/all-products🤝 Join Patreon: www.2worldscollide.com.au/s-projects-side-by-side 📺 Stay Connected:YouTube: @2worldscollideInstagram: @2worldscollidepodcastX: @2worldsPodcastWebsite: www.2worldscollide.com.au 🔖 Follow the conversation:#BarnabyJoyce #2WorldsCollide #AustralianPolitics #CostOfLivingCrisis #EnergyCrisis #MilitaryService #GovernmentAccountability #IndependentVoices #CommonSense

🎙 In This Episode of the 2 Worlds Collide Podcast, I sit down with Charlie Bakhos for a deep, unfiltered conversation on faith, conflict, and the narratives shaping what the world sees and what it ignores. Charlie is a man of faith and commentator who isn’t afraid to speak openly about uncomfortable truths. In this episode, we unpack the Israel–Palestine conflict, the way it’s framed in mainstream media, and why certain realities are either distorted or completely left out of the conversation. We also dive into a topic rarely spoken about: the persecution of Christians around the world, why it receives little media attention, who it affects, and what’s actually happening beyond the headlines. At the centre of it all is Charlie’s faith, how it shapes his worldview, why he refuses to stay silent, and what it means to stand firm when holding these views comes at a cost. This episode isn’t safe.It isn’t sanitised. It’s an honest conversation about truth, belief, and the courage to speak when silence is easier. 🧭 In This Episode We Cover:🇮🇱🇵🇸 The Israel–Palestine situation beyond the headlines📰 Media narratives and selective outrage✝️ Why Christian persecution is rarely discussed🌍 What’s happening to Christians globally🙏 Charlie’s faith and why it matters now more than ever⚖️ Speaking truth in a world that rewards conformity 📌 Timestamps for Easy Navigation:0:00 – Intro06:45 – Charlie’s background & faith journey18:30 – Israel–Palestine: context vs media framing37:10 – Global Christian persecution55:40 – Faith, backlash, and standing firm1:12:00 – Final reflections 💥 Support independent voices🧢 Merch: www.2worldscollide.com.au/category/all-products🤝 Join Patreon: www.2worldscollide.com.au/s-projects-side-by-side 📺 Stay Connected:YouTube: @2worldscollideInstagram: @2worldscollidepodcastX: @2worldsPodcastWebsite: www.2worldscollide.com.au 🔖 Follow the conversation:#CharlieBakhos #2WorldsCollide #FaithAndTruth #IsraelPalestine #ChristianPersecution #IndependentVoices #MediaNarratives #FreeSpeech #FaithInPublic

Biddy is an actor and stand-up comic who’s appeared twice on Kill Tony, opened for Isaac Butterfield, and met Joe Rogan.

This episode isn’t safe.It isn’t scripted.It’s a raw conversation about art, risk, and saying what you think. 🧭 In This Episode We Cover:🎭 Life as a working comedian in Australia🔥 Being cancelled and public backlash🗣️ Comedy, culture & free expression📱 Social media storms and career fallout🎤 Performing overseas and global audiences🇦🇺 The future of stand-up in Australia 💥 Support independent voices🧢 Merch: www.2worldscollide.com.au/category/all-products🤝 Join Patreon: www.2worldscollide.com.au/s-projects-side-by-side 📺 Stay Connected:YouTube: @2worldscollideInstagram: @2worldscollidepodcastX: @2worldsPodcastWebsite: www.2worldscollide.com.au 🔖 Follow the conversation:#BiddyOLoughlin #2WorldsCollide #AustralianPodcast #Comedy #KillTony #IsaacButterfield #JoeRogan #FreeSpeech #StandUpComedy #IndependentMedia

Scott is a businessman, a founder of the Australia Lobbying Group (ALG), and the voice behind the Shallow Chal Instagram page. He has also been a driving force behind the Marches for Australia, playing a key role in organising and mobilising large-scale public demonstrations around immigration and government accountability. We break down the Combatting Antisemitism, Hate and Extremism Bill 2026 — what it actually contains, why it has alarmed so many Australians, and what it signals for free speech, protest, and political dissent in this country.

Anthony runs one of the most effective independent news and media organisations in the country and is, in my view, one of the best in his field. He’s been on the front line of accountability and knows firsthand what happens when you challenge the narrative. We break down the Combatting Antisemitism, Hate and Extremism Bill 2026 currently being pushed through Parliament — what it really means, why so many Australians are alarmed by it, and why it deserves to be completely scrapped and thrown through the shredder. Anthony also speaks openly about his time spent in a supermax prison after attempting to organise rallies during the COVID era, and what that experience revealed about dissent in modern Australia.

🎙 In This Episode of the 2 Worlds Collide Podcast, I sit down with Chris Kateris — better known as Big Chocky — for one of the most raw and confronting conversations we’ve had on the show. At a time when speaking honestly comes at a cost, Chris speaks openly about the Bondi incident, the moral failure of the Australian government, and what he sees as a growing attack on men in modern Australian society.

Wed, 17 Dec 2025 - 96 - #68 - The Brodie Buchal Podcast - Culture, Masculinity & The Fight For Australia
This week on the 2 Worlds Collide Podcast, I’m doing something different. Instead of hosting, I jumped on someone else’s show — and I sat down with Brodie Buchal, host of the Brodie Buchal Podcast (YouTube: @BrodieJamesBuchal) for a no-filter conversation about my military career, what’s gone wrong in Australia, and the war on masculinity happening right under our noses. Brodie gave me the space to go deep — from Afghanistan to politics, national identity, accountability, the cost-of-government crisis, and why young men are struggling to find purpose in a culture obsessed with weakening them.

Sun, 07 Dec 2025 - 95 - #67 - Carlos Quaremba - One Nation’s Fight to Fix South Australia
🎙 In This Episode of the 2 Worlds Collide Podcast, I sit down with Carlos Quaremba — Victor Harbor councillor, One Nation’s SA State President, and now the party’s lead candidate for the 2026 South Australian Legislative Council election. Carlos has been making waves for calling out government incompetence, exposing the cost-of-living crisis, and taking a wrecking ball to net zero policies that are punishing everyday South Australians. He’s unapologetic, direct, and one of the few voices in South Australian politics willing to stand up for working people instead of donors, bureaucrats, and global agendas. In this raw and unfiltered conversation, we dig into the real issues facing South Australia — housing, power bills, debt, immigration, local government, and why both major parties have abandoned the average Australian. Carlos doesn’t mince words, and after hearing this, you’ll understand why Pauline Hanson called him a leader who “won’t drop an issue until he gets answers.” This one is about accountability, truth, and taking back the state from the political class who’ve run it into the ground. 🧭 In This Episode We Cover:💸 Why South Australians are being crushed under cost-of-living pressures🏠 The housing crisis and how policy failure got us here⚡ How net zero ideology is driving up power bills🏛 The decay inside local government — and how to fix it🇦🇺 Why Carlos believes it’s “time for One Nation in South Australia”🗳 What 2026 means — and what’s really at stake for the state 💥 Want to support independent voices?🧢 Grab merch: www.2worldscollide.com.au/category/all-products 🤝 Join Patreon: www.2worldscollide.com.au/s-projects-side-by-side 📺 Stay Updated:YouTube: @2worldscollideInstagram: @2worldscollidepodcastX: @2worldsPodcastWebsite: www.2worldscollide.com.au 🔖 Follow the convo at#CarlosQuaremba #OneNationSA #2WorldsCollide #TruthMatters #SouthAustraliaPolitics #CostOfLivingCrisis #NetZeroDebate #HousingCrisisSA #PoliticalAccountability #AussiePodcast #AustraliaFirst #StandForTruth
Sun, 23 Nov 2025 - 94 - #66 - Edward Schuller - The Battle for Truth in Education
🎙 In This Episode of the 2 Worlds Collide Podcast, I sit down with Edward Schuller — National Secretary of the Teachers’ Professional Association of Australia (TPAA), reformer, and one of the few voices in education willing to challenge the system from the inside. Edward has made waves for standing up to bureaucratic control, calling out ideology creeping into classrooms, and fighting to give teachers and parents their voice back. He’s not afraid to take on the establishment — from teachers’ unions and government departments to the cultural agendas shaping what our kids are taught. In this honest and unfiltered conversation, we dig into the state of Australia’s education system — what’s really happening behind the staffroom door — and how ideology, policy failure, and top-down control are reshaping the next generation. This one goes beyond education — it’s about truth, integrity, and protecting the minds of tomorrow. 🧭 In This Episode We Cover:🎓 Why Edward believes the education system is failing both teachers and students📚 How ideology and bureaucracy are taking over the classroom💡 The importance of critical thinking and restoring balance in education🔒 The culture of fear, censorship, and silence inside teaching🇦🇺 What needs to change if we want Australian kids to grow up free-thinking and independent 💥 Want to support truth-telling voices?🧢 Grab merch: www.2worldscollide.com.au/category/all-products 🤝 Or join Patreon: www.2worldscollide.com.au/s-projects-side-by-side 📺 Stay Updated:YouTube: @2worldscollideInstagram: @2worldscollidepodcastX: @2worldsPodcastWebsite: www.2worldscollide.com.au 🔖 Follow the convo at#EdwardSchuller #2WorldsCollide #TruthMatters #EducationReform #TeachersVoice #FreeSpeech #AustralianEducation #CommonSense #AussiePodcast #ParentRights #ProtectOurKids #StandForTruth
Sun, 16 Nov 2025 - 93 - #65 - Senator Malcolm Roberts - The Truth Canberra Doesn’t Want You to Hear
🎙 In This Episode of the 2 Worlds Collide Podcast, I sit down with Senator Malcolm Roberts — One Nation Senator, straight-talker, and one of the few politicians in Canberra willing to call out the lies, hypocrisy, and corruption eating away at Australia’s democracy. Malcolm has built a reputation for saying what others won’t — challenging the mainstream narratives around government overreach, climate policy, global agendas, censorship, and the slow erosion of Australian sovereignty. He’s been slammed, censored, and misrepresented — but he’s never backed down. In this raw and unfiltered conversation, we cut through the political spin and talk about what’s really going on — from the cost-of-living crisis and foreign influence, to climate control, digital IDs, and the growing disconnect between the people and their so-called leaders. This isn’t your average political chat. It’s a deep dive into truth, accountability, and the future of Australia — from one of the few voices still fighting for the people inside Parliament. 🧭 In This Episode We Cover:🇦🇺 Why Malcolm believes the government has lost touch with everyday Australians💸 How policy failures are driving the cost-of-living crisis☁️ Climate narratives, data manipulation, and who really benefits🧠 The truth about global influence and the push for control🔒 Censorship, free speech, and standing up for Australian sovereignty🔥 How you can stay informed and fight back against political deception 📌 Timestamps for Easy Navigation:0:00 – Intro07:20 – What Canberra doesn’t want you to know22:15 – The real agenda behind climate policy41:00 – Why truth is under attack1:03:00 – Free speech, censorship & media manipulation1:25:00 – Final thoughts: how we fix Australia 💥 Want to support truth-telling voices?🧢 Grab merch: www.2worldscollide.com.au/category/all-products 🤝 Or join Patreon: www.2worldscollide.com.au/s-projects-side-by-side 📺 Stay Updated:YouTube: @2worldscollideInstagram: @2worldscollidepodcastX: @2worldsPodcastWebsite: www.2worldscollide.com.au 🔖 Follow the convo at#MalcolmRoberts #2WorldsCollide #TruthMatters #AustralianPolitics #OneNation #FreeSpeech #GovernmentTransparency #ClimateDebate #Censorship #StandForFreedom #CommonSense #AussiePodcast

Angie has been on the front line of the cultural battle to protect women’s spaces, women’s sport, and women’s safety — and she hasn’t backed down, no matter the pressure. In this powerful and unapologetic conversation, we dive into the growing clash between biological reality and radical ideology, why politicians are too afraid to speak up, and what’s really at stake for women and girls in Australia. This is more than just a conversation — it’s a call to action to protect fairness, truth, and women’s rights in a time when common sense is under attack. 🧭 In This Episode We Cover:👩 Why Angie is standing up for women’s rights⚖️ How women’s sports and spaces are being eroded🏊 The biological advantage debate and real-world consequences🏛️ Why politicians and institutions are too scared to speak🔥 How everyday Australians can push back and create change 💥 Want to support truth-telling voices?🧢 Grab merch: www.2worldscollide.com.au/category/all-products 🤝 Or join Patreon: www.2worldscollide.com.au/s-projects-side-by-side 📺 Stay Updated:YouTube: @2worldscollideInstagram: @2worldscollidepodcastX: @2worldsPodcastWebsite: www.2worldscollide.com.au 🔖 Follow the convo at#AngieJones #2WorldsCollide #WomensRights #ProtectWomensSport #BiologyMatters #WomensSpaces #FairnessInSport #StandForWomen #UncensoredTalk #TruthMatters #AussiePodcast

🎙 In This Episode of the 2 Worlds Collide Podcast, I sit down with Gerard Rennick — one of the sharpest and most fearless political voices in Australia today. Rennick has never been one to toe the party line. In this raw and wide-ranging conversation, we unpack his split from the Liberal Party, how big business and global corporates dodge tax, and why the People’s First Party is pushing for bold economic reform. From monetary policy to government debt, from sovereignty to power, this conversation cuts through the noise. It’s straight talk about how we rebuild Australia into a strong, independent powerhouse — and why the current political game isn’t working. 🧭 In This Episode We Cover:🇦🇺 Why Gerard walked away from the Liberal Party🏦 How big business dodges tax while everyday Aussies carry the load💰 Reforming government debt & monetary policy to restore national strength⚔️ The state of Australian politics — and why the system is broken🚀 How People’s First Party plans to put Australians first again 💥 Want to support truth-telling voices?🧢 Grab merch: www.2worldscollide.com.au/category/all-products 🤝 Or join Patreon: www.2worldscollide.com.au/s-projects-side-by-side 📺 Stay Updated:YouTube: @2worldscollideInstagram: @2worldscollidepodcastX: @2worldsPodcastWebsite: www.2worldscollide.com.au 🔖 Follow the convo at #GerardRennick #2WorldsCollide #PeoplesFirstParty #AustralianPolitics #MonetaryPolicy #PoliticalReform #UncensoredTalk #TruthMatters #TaxReform #AustraliaFirst

🎙 In This Episode of the 2 Worlds Collide Podcast, I sit down with Professor Ian Plimer — an emeritus geologist, author, and one of Australia’s most courageous critics of mainstream climate orthodoxy. Plimer has spent decades studying Earth’s climate history, dissecting the assumptions behind carbon models, and challenging the narratives you won’t see in the papers. He brings a scientist’s mind and a common sense voice to climate discussion — not what you’ll usually hear in the media. From deep time geology to today’s climate politics, we cover:🌍 Earth’s climate cycles & what the textbooks won’t tell you🧪 Why many climate models fail📈 The economic & social costs of "net zero" policies📰 Media spin, censorship, and how the “science consensus” became untouchable🛑 What must change — facts, not feelings This conversation is sharp, contrarian, and essential if you’re tired of being fed narratives. 📌 Timestamps for Easy Navigation:0:00 – Intro 08:30 – Geological cycles vs climate hype 15:00 – Flaws in carbon modelling & attribution 30:00 – Impact of climate policy on Australia’s economy 45:00 – Media, bias & censorship in climate debate 58:00 – Final thoughts: what real climate integrity looks like 💥 Want to support truth-telling voices?🧢 Grab merch: www.2worldscollide.com.au/category/all-products🤝 Or join Patreon: www.2worldscollide.com.au/s-projects-side-by-side 📺 Stay Updated:YouTube: @2worldscollideInstagram: @2worldscollidepodcastX: @2worldsPodcastWebsite: www.2worldscollide.com.au 🔖 Follow the convo at #IanPlimer #2WorldsCollide #ClimateDebate #EarthScience #UncensoredTalk #AustraliaConversation

🎙️ In this episode of 2 Worlds Collide, I’m joined by Andrew Carpenter, the man the Herald Sun calls “The Most Hated Man by Australian Child Sex Offenders.” This is a brutal, unfiltered look at the reality of child abuse cases in Australia—because the numbers are beyond disturbing.

Simple. 💡 This episode covers:👉 The staggering statistics on child abuse cases overwhelming Australia’s courts.👉 How 500,000 streams of child exploitation material are consumed in Australia daily.👉 The failures of the legal system that allow predators to walk free.👉 Why real legislative change is needed NOW—including Andrew’s super fund reform to compensate victims.
