Welcome to The Conditional Release Program, a podcast that delves into the netherworld of cults, crims and con artists.

Who would have thought a spicy chest cough would turn everyone so completely mad?

Our weekly show covers the conspiracy theorists that created a 'shadow pandemic' of political idiocy and violent ideation within the fringe of politics.

From time to time we get our hands even dirtier with true crime deep dives. Jack is a seasoned expert in the true crime genre, having written and spoken extensively about Roger Rogerson, Stan 'the man' Smith and, of course, the Fine Cotton Fiasco. In various episodes he guides us through the dark underbelly of Australian crime in his trademark storytelling style.

The world is getting weird and we are getting weird with it. Let's watch as democracy crumbles into a smouldering heap - and take note of the kids carrying the matches and the metho.

Hosted by Jack the Insider and Joel Hill with an occasional rotation of guests that generally share our distaste toward the lunatic fringe.

    Premium Episode 47 - Nazi TERFs - Raccoon Dogs - Trump Arrest - Tesla Fails (SAMPLE)

    Here's a preview of this weeks premium epiosde. From as little as five bucks a month! Don't make me get all weird and shame you like Dave Oneegs does - if you can't afford it, you just need to like want it more. Winners grindset bro.
    If any of you are missing out because you're actually broke drop me a line and I'll send you a file. It's the honour system so don't tell me fibs!
    Enjoy the free snippet!

    --------------------------------------

    With UK agitator and transphobic trashcan Posie Parker coming to Melbourne to have a thinly veiled hate rally in the name of womens rights we saw a nice little contingent of Nazis from the national socialist network palling around with shameless TERFs and freedom fuckwits. 
    We look at a possible culprit for the transfer of covid to humans - raccoon dogs! Equal parts cute and delicious, I think they're too cute to be blamed. But how do they taste? A bit like covid, I guess. 
    We look at the Trump arrest and MTG almost being the voice of reason. 
    Also, Elon Musk turns self driving teslas into death traps because he is an idiot. 

    Enjoy!

    Episode 125 - Ivermectin - Lineker - Reade - Guru - Gay Panic

    Episode 125 - Ivermectin - Lineker - Reade - Guru - Gay Panic

    We're back! This one took a little while to come out - life has been busy. But we have a big episode to make it up to y'all.
    We look at an 'ivermectin influencer' who has been doing it since before it was cool. He had a heart the size of Pharlap's. That's what killed hiim.
    Gary Lineker equates conservative immigration rhetoric to the nazis. Godwin's law has been invoked - but idiot conservatives have got out the 'red card' and the BBC tried to cancel him in a transparently political attempt to crush dissent. Unfortunately people like Lineker and backed him and now the tories and the Beeb look like a bunch of prats.
    We look at the allegations made by Tara Reade that Joe Biden sexually asaulted her. Allegations of this nature must be taken seriously - but when an egregious history of dishonesty appears, it must be considered in the bigger picture.
    We discuss the release of Tinfoil Tales recent epiosde on Guru and Bosi and chat about Guru getting nippers cancelled....
    AND we talk about the gay panic that has come about since worldpride. Cookers are losing their minds and the movement is doing a hard pivot toward the bible - and serious homo/transphobia.
    We also have SovCits. And Pete. And Babet. Enjoy!!!

    The Two Jacks - Episode 20 - Subs and Boats

    The Two Jacks - Episode 20 - Subs and Boats

    The Two Jacks discuss the Australian purchase via AUKUS of nuclear submarines and how it changes Australia's security parameters. But how will China respond?
    A reader's letter from a farmer shows the farmers' protests in the Netherlands and Belgium to be a lot more about pressure from big agricorps and a lot more about creating clean drinking water in the two countries than an outrageous government land grab.
    The Two Jacks argue over the UK small boats policy but both agree Gary Lineker was entitled to make provocative comments without facing any censure or suspension from his work as a BBC presenter.
    In sport, the AFL season is underway and JTI can't wait for the Blues to run out on the G.

    The Two Jacks - Episode 19 - Will it be Biden v Trump?

    The Two Jacks - Episode 19 - Will it be Biden v Trump?

    The Two Jacks discuss the polling which at this early stage shows Biden and Trump the most likely dup to square off in 2024. This leads to a lively discussion about Trump's foreign policy credentials. Was he the best POTUS in recent times on China? JTI says, no unequivocally.
    Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov gets a laugh in India though not one that he wanted. In Iran a spate of poisonings causes alarm amid claims it is state sponsored.
    The corporate world's touchy feely approach to investment gets taken down by HK Jack while Brexit continues to cause political and economic headaches in the UK.
    Meanwhile in Australia, the public supports the Albanese government's superannuation changes and in NSW, Labor's Chris Minns is looking like he may be the next premier but is the polling soft? The Two Jacks analyse where the election will be won or lost.
    In sport, the NRL round kicks off with a win to competition debutantes, the Dolphins.

    Episode 124 - True Crime - The Murtaugh Trial and the Idaho State Murders

    Episode 124 - True Crime - The Murtaugh Trial and the Idaho State Murders

    This week we take a break from the cookers and look at the Idaho State University Murders where it is alleged Bryan Kohberger murdered four people in their rented university house in Moscow, Idaho.
    A grisly murder that has caught the attention of the media in the US who have decided to turn this awful event into entertainment for true crime junkies who get off on human misery.
    We look at the Murdaugh trial (which since recording reached a guilty verdict) and what an absolute prick he is.
    Take a break from the cookers and enjoy something different - Jack knows his way around a crimescene and it's worth a listen.
    Enjoy!

Keeping the Cookers honest

Just discovered this podcast. It is so incisive. Outstanding content and just damn funny.

This podcast is great.

Listening to this gives me a chance to laugh at all of the deranged conspiracy/anti vax nonsense that a lot of people across the country have destroyed their minds with.
