2 Worlds Collide Podcast

Sam Bamford

Hosted by Sam Bamford, a former Australian Army infantry paratrooper and combat veteran with a deployment to Afghanistan in 2012, the 2 Worlds Collide Podcast has evolved into one of Australia’s most outspoken independent platforms. What began as conversations around resilience and mindset has grown into a podcast that challenges prevailing cultural narratives, questions political orthodoxy, and pushes for a common-sense approach, without apology. Sam sits down with politicians, veterans, athletes, thinkers, and everyday Australians for long-form, uncensored conversations about what’s really happening in Australia and the West, from politics and national security to masculinity, culture, accountability, and the real-world consequences of bad ideas. This podcast isn’t designed to make people comfortable. It’s designed to ask hard questions, demand accountability, and say what others won’t. If you’re tired of scripted media, safe opinions, and being talked down to, 2 Worlds Collide is for you.

    #109 - Former Commando Eddie Robertson - They're Trying To Destroy Australian Patriotism

    🎙 In This Episode of the 2 Worlds Collide Podcast, I sit down with former Australian Special Forces 2 Commando operator Eddie Robertson for an honest and unfiltered conversation about the Ben Roberts-Smith saga, the attack on Australian veterans, nationalism, patriotism, and where Australia is heading. We unpack the ongoing Ben Roberts-Smith situation, why so many veterans believe Australia's Special Forces have been unfairly targeted, and the impact it's had on those who served. We also discuss whether Western governments are deliberately eroding nationalism and patriotism, why national identity matters, and what happens when a country loses pride in itself. Beyond that, we talk about leadership, Australian values, free speech, and what Eddie believes has gone wrong in Australia over recent years. This is a powerful conversation about service, sacrifice, national identity, and the future of Australia. 🧭 In This Episode We Cover: 🎖 Eddie Robertson's service in 2 Commando ⚖️ The Ben Roberts-Smith saga 🪖 The treatment of Australian veterans 🇦🇺 Nationalism, patriotism & Australian identity 🏛 Are Western governments undermining national pride? 🗣 Free speech & what's gone wrong in Australia 🌏 Where Australia is heading 💥 Support independent voices 🧢 Merch: https://www.2worldscollide.com.au/category/all-products 🤝 Join Patreon: https://www.2worldscollide.com.au/s-projects-side-by-side Website: https://www.2worldscollide.com.au #2WorldsCollide #EddieRobertson #2Commando #SpecialForces #BenRobertsSmith #AustralianVeterans #Nationalism #Patriotism #AustralianPolitics #FreeSpeech #AustralianIdentity #IndependentMedia #Australia
