G’day Fearmongers —

A special hello to listeners in Western Sydney’s Greenzone who are under military controlled lockdown.

One day soon, you can be free like the rest of us who live east of the Olympic Stadium.

Here in the Democratic People’s Republic of Bondi Beach we can argue in groups of two without a mask, and watch instagram influencers pose from a safe distance while waiting until September for our jab.

It won’t be long until you will be free once more.

On the podcast this week we have a great panel of fearmongers:

Nat Tran
David Smiedt — Chris O’Brien Lifehouse
Lewis Hobba
and Dan Ilic (me)

Thanks for listening — if you enjoy the show please chip in to our Patreon so we can afford to get a production assistant this year. We also need a budget to pull some great pranks during the next election, just like our #EngadineMaccas’s plaque which got a mention on Pod Save The Word this week. (43:20)

One last thing — I was featured in The Brilliant.

“Comedy is the first love. And then satire comes straight after and then satire weaponises comedy. And I think there is a fun power imbalance where the jester can have a spear. " @danilic on the power of satire in raising climate awareness #scicomm
Jester holding a spear: rise of a satirist and climate change activistSatire is the weapon of choice for Dan Ilic, climate change activist and founder of comedy podcast A Rational Fear. “If I can pack a fact and a joke together, hopefully that is good enough to explode in someone’s brain,” he says.thebrilliant.com.au

PATREON 💸:

If you enjoy our podcast, emails and important climate change conversations, chip in here like a good sovereign citizen. We want to raise enough money so we can start to make a high quality video each month – to fight the good fight. As the Australian election is coming up very soon, it’d be great to make more #AusPol LOLS and investigations.  www.patreon.com/arationalfear

LIMITED EDITION MERCH 💸:

To commemorate John Barilaro’s attack on free speech and satire we have done a collab with Brisbane artist Nordacious and have created what we suspect will be a very limited edition series of merchandise. Pick up a t-shirt / sticker or hoodie before we have to take it down.

Thanks:

Big thanks to  our Patreon Supporters and RODE Mics and Jacob Round.
