G’day Fearmongers —
We have a great guest for the podcast this week is the Russia super-nerd Matt Bevan.
His podcast Russia If You're Listening is must-binge for all those interested in the intrigue around the Kremlin, Ukraine and Trump campaign.
Matt Bevan has been reading every hot take, wading through every Telegram channel, and deciphering diplomatic cables about the weekend's attempted coup in Russia so we don't have to.
Lewis, Matt and I also chat about the last refugee on Nauru, and the ICAC's report on the “Seriously Corrupt” behaviour of Gladys Berejiklian and Darryl McGuire.
We’ve got a big live show coming up in Sydney —
Yes, yes we know — it’s ironic that two white guys with a podcast who barely have jobs in media will be hosting a live A Rational Fear about the contemporary anxieties of being a woman in media BUT we have a superstar panel of the funniest women in Australian media today joining us: Hannah Ferguson (Cheek Media), Nayuka Gorrie (Black Comedy), Nina Oyama (Deadloch) and Vidya Rajan (Aunty Donna's Comedy Cafe) — it’s going to get rowdy and it’s all thanks to Australian Ethical. Get tickets here.
We’ve also got a fun live show coming up in far far North Queensland in September. More to come on that one soon.
Chip-in if you can.
You may have heard that the free version of the podcast is now chock full of ads. Sorry about that. We’re just trying to find more ways to make money like a real podcast. If you want an ad-free and sponsor free version of the podcast you can get it from our Patreon for as little as $4 a month! https://www.patreon.com/ARationalFear
Cheers,
Dan
