The final Pure Poison Podcast. The last ever #LOLBolt comedy section, discussing News Ltd and Fairfax's future as well as Dave and Jeremy's future.
We #AskTony, cast an eye over the ACL, investigate marriage equality in Denmark, get the vibe of the economy and wonder aloud about the prostitute who didn't sleep with Craig Thomson.
Jeremy and Dave discuss the impending end of the Pure Poison blog, and what's next for Australia's most loved podcast. When we finish the navel gazing the focus is on the Daily Tele, Penbo, Miranda, the Press Council and ACMA.
This week Dave and Jeremy discuss carbon tax shenanigans, concern trolling and groupthink.
Despite the malign intent of Jeremy's new modem, the frailty of Skype and the multilayered levels of frustration we both experienced, we have a new episode for you. This week we briefly revive the cut and paste trophy and have a long overdue LOLBolt section, along with the stories of the week.
It's out Budget coverage episode, with a diversion through things that aren't scalping, jail sentences that aren't how they're reported, and a Federal MP who hasn't actually changed sides
What's wrong with news.com.au, Paul Sheehan, our self-important press gallery, and why hasn't the PM done things that the constitution won't allow?
Some reflections on ANZAC Day, Cory Bernardi's iPhone app, Peter Slipper, LOLBolt and the usual nonsense.
No #LOLBolt section, yet quite a lot of LOLBolt. More Greens' leadership waffle, and plenty of the usual tosh.
The Easter non-ratings period is over and the Pure Poison Podcast is back, and it's got stuff in it.
Mike Daisey, winning the war on mortgagees, the Australian and the NBN, Clive Palmer, The AVN and more
Clive, Andrew, facts in the Herald Sun, Finkelscares and the Totalitarian Heart Chakra
The iPad, Finkelstien Media Enquiry, treason and more carbon price shenanigans. And apparently the Herald Sun has a paywall now.
The demise of MTR, the antics of Jim Schembri, some actual journalism found in the wild, and all of the regular features of Australia's most smug podcast.
Gillard is finished, eventually. Jim Schembri's take on Outland, unflued gas heaters and more.
