Notes de l’épisode
One of Australia's most decorated living authors, Anna Funder, joins Betoota Talks to discuss about how the current state of global politics and economics feels kind of familiar. A keen student of pre-war Europe and an on-the-ground observer of Easter Berlin after the wall came down, Funder talks about modern wealth inequality like we might be in denial about how tough things really are. Why is trust in our democratic institutions so low? Why do the Tech Bros have a seemingly free rein? But she's always the optimist!

Notes de l’épisode
Former Queensland Premier Peter Beattie joins Betoota Talks to tell us how the world works. The first man to take on One Nation - and crush them - in the 1990s, Beattie explains how he tackled grievance politics head-on and let his opponents blow themselves up. He's never been above praising the Opposition, and he's certainly not shy of firing pot shots at his own mob. He's now working as an NRL commissioner and ia still a keen observer of Australian politics and sport - but deep down, he's still the North Queensland boy from the Atherton. He's from Queensland I can tell.

Notes de l’épisode
The nation's most esteemed political analyst and demographics wizard, George Megalogenis joins Betoota Talks to explain just how different Australia actually is to what our media, politicians and cultural commentators think it is. The demographics aren't changing, they have changed. The voting patterns are going back to what they used to be. Pauline Hanson has a ceiling of popularity because the average voter is a 37 year old 2nd generation migrant woman who will vote against anyone who attacks women's health and childcare. All of that and more!

Notes de l’épisode
The cult Kiwi heavyweight of comedy, Joe Daymond joins Betoota Talks this week to tackle one of the great political issues of our time: is Russell Crowe a Kiwi or and Aussie? Who gets to claim Crowded House? Why do the Kiwis want Kyle Minogue to be one of theirs so badly. The Betoota Advocate drafts up a list of our ten favourite Kiwis and he drafts up a list of his ten favourite Aussies. We then make three trades.

A titan of Australian journalism, Paul Barry has finished up at Media Watch and is back on the beat as an investigative journalist. And the story he's just broken is massive. Ever heard of Whyalla? It's down on the bottom of South Australia and it looks like this town has been F*CKED by an (alleged) con-artist. This is Australia's version of the Simpson's Monorail! His newest book, THE BIG STEAL, is out now!

Notes de l’épisode
Take me home, country roads! Former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd returns to his rural Queensland hometown for the 2026 Eumundi Writer's Festival. After wrapping up his high-profile tenure as Australia's Ambassador To Washington D.C - Mr Rudd joins Clancy Overell from The Betoota Advocate on stage at the Imperial Hotel in Eumundi for live interview about his life, politics, and relationship with Xi Jinping. This is a real stroll down memory lane for both Kevin and the locals in the audience, as the global President and CEO of the Asia Society recalls stories about his barefoot post-war childhood on a dairy farm in the semi-tropical Hinterland.

Notes de l’épisode
Joining Clancy and Wendell in the studio today is an icon of Sydney, and a driving force behind the revitalisation of the city's nighttime economy. Nahji Chu, better known as Lady Chu, has been at the forefront of hospitality for more than a decade, with her Kings Cross Restaurant one of the most popular on the strip. From humble beginnings as a Vietnamese immigrant to opening the iconic MissChu takeaway that revolutionised food delivery, Nahji has been doing things her own way even when it rubs up against the archaic laws of councils and governments. She talks us through her journey, the obstacles she bashes through, plus the friends and enemies she's made along the way. We also dive into some of her greatest Google reviews, which rival some of the best comedy writers in the country.

Notes de l’épisode
One of the most conveniently forgotten chapters in Australian history is interrogated and mapped out this week on Betoota Talks. Nobody wants to imagine that our sunburnt larrikin nation was built off the back of slaves... But a lot of it was. It's not a culture war, it's a historical fact.
This week's guest, historian Ryan Butta, has compiled all of the old slave trade routes, ships, ports and beneficiaries in a fascinating and deeply disturbing new book - titled 'Blackbirding' - which is the term used for the kidnapping of Pacific Islanders who were then sold as slaves on the Australian mainland. In fact, Townsville is named after Robert Towns - a very wealthy blackbirder from Sydney's Eastern Suburbs.

Notes de l’épisode
We spoke to Bill about a whole range of things from how current Treasurer Jim Chalmers is a shameless plagiarist who has pawned Bill's signature policy ideas off as his own, such as putting the dog up property investors and making tech start up guys quiver in their sneakers. Also returning money to workers and other woke rubbish like that designed to be divisive. As much as Bill wanted to let sleeping dogs lie, we didn't let him. Espeically on the university sector, now that he's compromised by being a Chancellor of the so-called Canberra Uni that they call a university. So for some raw opinions and an empty promise to award Errol a Doctor of Letters, listen now.
