• #102 - Dr Joanna Howe - Pro-Life Laws, Immigration & The Future of Australia 29.05.2026 1j 54mnt

  (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 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
• #83 - Amos Gill - Politics Is a Joke (But Also Not) 04.03.2026 1j 29mnt

  🎙 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
