I did a live show for the first time in ages tonight! Of course the topic of discussion was last weekend's federal election. Thanks for everyone who tuned in live! Choose between the video or the audio version of the show below. For future reference, you can catch the live show here on Monday nights about 8pm QLD time. http://www.ustream.tv/flash/video/9104191
Ewan Saunders is the Socialist Alliance's Brisbane candidate in the upcoming federal election. I caught up with him recently to talk about socialism, climate change, indigenous communities, and the Socialist Alliance's policies on subjects like Iraq, Afghanistan and immigration. As I mention during the show, if you're interested in hearing more about "participatory democracy", then listen to my 2008 interview with Richard Moore.
How man people have read the entire bible, cover to cover? Well.... I have. A few times. And now I'm about to do it again. This time, however, I'm going to record it. That's right - the entire bible. Old and new testaments. Why? Because it's a fascinating, confusing, humorous and scary piece of literature. And everyone, Christian or not, should know what it says. Ninety-nine percent of all of the Christians I've ever asked have told me that they HAVE NOT read it cover to cover, even the people who actually think it is the literal word of GOD. Pretty amazing. So anyway - now all of you lazy people don't have to read it, because I'm going to do it for you. And I'll even explain it as I go. The show will get its own website soon, this is just a preview. UPDATE: This show now has its own site.
My guest today is Adam Shand, investigative journalist / author from Melbourne. He was a guest on #293 discussing his book "Big Shots" which focused on the Melbourne "Gangland Wars" and Carl Williams. On this episode, Adam discusses Carl's recent murder and his allegations of police corruption in Victoria. We also chat about Adam's new book "King Of Thieves", about the "Kangaroo Gangs" from Australia that stole their way across England in the 60s.
On this episode, Chrissy and I chat with our friend Angus Scown (@angusscown) about living on a hippy commune (Angus, his wife and kids live at Crystal Waters, an eco-village a couple of hours north of Brisbane) and why Australia needs a MINISTRY OF ETHICS. Chrissy and I were smoking Perdomo Lot 23 Maduro cigars and Angus was smoking a Perdomo Patriarch Maduro cigar.
Late last week, Chrissy and I sat down with Hugo Sharp for a cigar and a chat about the latest news in politics, religion, science and philosophy.... oh and cannibalism. Here's the list of stories we chatted about: Maxim Golovatskikh and Yury Mozhnov 'killed Karina Barduchian and ate her' Every Black Hole Contains Another Universe? Iraq Body Count Bolivian President Blames Capitalism for Global Warming
Tonight we try something we haven't done in a long time - Chrissy joins me on the podcast. We lit up a Perdomo Lot 23, sat outside on our deck, and talked about a lot of things including: - Why comics are like classical music (I recommend reading DMZ and KICK-ASS) and admire the work of Aussie Ben Templesmith - The head of Australia's Reserve Bank is ANOTHER crazy Christian running the country - The rise of Dominionism in Australia - More evidence that evil oil companies are paying a small handful of scientists to oppose climate change - The very small list of scientists who actually oppose climate change - The very LARGE list of scientists who support climate change If you enjoyed this show, you can stay in touch by following Chrissy and Cameron on Twitter or by joining our Facebook page.
On today's show: my thoughts on Nicaragua (including a quick history of the oppression of the Nicaraguan people by Spain and the USA), why cigars are awesome and a few words on Obamacare.

One of my favourite "new atheists" is Angie Jackson aka "Angie The Anti-Theist". At only 27, she's been blogging, tweeting & YouTubing up a storm for the last two years since she googled her grandmother and discovered she had spent her whole life growing up in an extreme Christian cult. Now she's fighting again faith in all its forms.
Today I'm chatting about Haiti. To understand why many people are concerned about the USA sending thousands of marines into Haiti after the recent earthquake, you have to understand the history between these two countries. Of course, you won't hear much of this in the mainstream media, as they tend to have amnesia. However a little research shows that America has had its corporate paws all over Haiti for a century and the Haitian people have suffered as a result.
My first No Illusions podcast for 2010! Today I'm talking about the Australian Government's "clean feed" with three guys who know a lot more about it than I do: Stephen Collins (@trib), Peter Black (@peterblackQUT) and Jim Stewart (@jimboot). This episode was recorded with a live studio audience. Well, okay, they weren't in a studio, they were on my uStream channel, but I've always wanted to say that.
