002 - Invasion Day, Bushfires, Energy Beams (ft. Celeste Liddle)
Big ep 002! I welcome on Celeste Liddle of Black Feminist Ranter fame on to talk about all matters Invasion Day 2020, which she's helping to organise, and the rallies' increasing importance in the context of an Australia on fire. (Literal bushfires, that is. Not a metaphorical 'on fire' like the MSM all complained about someone saying after the 2019 rally.) Also, some idiot interrupts with some feeries from the YouTubes.
Find Celeste Liddle on Facebook or Twitter.---
Also, the first RALLY GIG GUIDE!

006 - YARD RETROSPECTIVE! (ft. Sean Bedlam)
SPECIAL EP!!! Here's a MEGA RETROSPECTIVE of YARD (sometimes known as Yelling At Racist Dogs) with Sean Bedlam, comedian & activist & co-founder of YARD. We go right through the history and strategy of YARD, and finish with a... YARD NAME CHANGE?! What the HELL? Listen and see!
YARD, for those of you not familiar, is Australia's most obnoxious, shouty anti-fascist group. Founded in 2017, it is the Australian Tradition Which Has Always Existed, and it has mainly involved shouting at lots of rockstar racists and their shit punters, and being really annoying and irritating to them. It's been labelled as 'authoritarian terrorism' by Lauren Southern's tour organiser. Really though, it's, like, yelling. Relax.

Customer Reviews
The breadth of topics Tom & his guests discuss is impressive!
I love this podcast! Tom’s a great host - he’s absolutely hilarious when he wants to be, & the critical lens through which he views the world has led him to cover the most stunning array of topics,, with some truly fascinating guests, over the course of the podcast so far. I’m genuinely excited for every new episode, because of this - you never know what’s going to be covered next, or who he’ll have on as a guest. He’s already had several of my heroes on! I highly recommend this podcast to others.
Tool up in the battle against racist dogs.
Are you tired of racist dogs going through your rubbish and keeping you awake with their incessant howling? Then this podcast is for you. Want a little tiny pinch of the smugness that Jordan Petersen fans have, but without the dumbness, misogyny and vegetable dodging? Try this out!!!
Important discussions on Anti-Fascism and general activism.
I cannot recommend this podcast enough. Tom is super knowledgable and witty. If you want to know more about how you can help this messed up world, at least in Australia, please listen and take action. 5/5
