    WILOSOPHY: Alex Dyson on Triple J Memories, Regional Politics and Raving Across The Country

    Comedian, podcaster, author and three-time-election-runner Alex Dyson has lived a big full life since his last appearance on the show. In this episode, Wil and Alex tackle what happens when you decide to run for parliament as an independent, and what it feels like when local political rivals (and comedy peers) miss the memo entirely. They dive deep into the double-edged sword of comedy and political discourse, examining why online algorithms thrive on outrage, why modern outrage culture makes everyone feel shitty, and how to navigate maintaining a positive campaign when the political landscape rewards mudslinging. Plus, Alex opens up about writing his novel The Apocalypse and Other Mild Inconveniences, the imposter syndrome that comes with a high-profile creative life, and the heavy reality check of sharing a room with a Syrian refugee after complaining about creative burnt-out. They also cover: The regional-city divide: Why farmers actually care about climate change, the brutal reality of regional childcare deserts, and what Southwest Victoria really needs. Life on the road: Planning a 10-year anniversary 5-day rave tour across Australia with Matt Okine, memories of early-2000s triple j, and the art of predicting the future for the Black Eyed Peas. The Matt and Alex Podcast: Rebranding the show and working with your best mate The search for common ground: Why identifying 90% of what we have in common is the only way forward and asking "when is enough enough?" in your career. A thoughtful, nostalgic, and hilarious conversation about ambition, community, staying true to your values, and learning how to say yes to life, even when you feel totally unprepared.

    WILOSOPHY: Cory Doctorow on Hope, AI, Fixing the Internet and the Reverse Centaur of it all

    If you've been anywhere online with an interest in AI you'll have heard of author and activist Cory Doctorow. And if you haven't heard of him, you've almost definitely heard of the term he coined; "enshittification" - the glorious experience of platform decay in tech. Corey joins the show ahead of a weekend of talks about his latest book The Reverse Centaur’s Guide to Life After AI: How to think about artificial intelligence before it's too late. We dive deep into the mechanics of "enshittification," the damage of the power imbalance between tech conglomerates and people, the distrust of corporations and government bodies, and the blind trust of governments in these private companies who are taking our private information and making money off it. Doctorow dismantles the corporate narrative that frames tech dominance as inevitable, explaining how market concentration strips dignity from workers, ruins consumer experiences, and cripples government regulation. From the "reverse centaur" dynamic of labor under automation to actionable operational security advice, Doctorow delivers an insightful, sharp, and hopeful roadmap for reclaiming control of our digital future. Cory Doctorow appears at Sydney's Festival of Dangerous Ideas from 22-23 August and Now or Never on 25 August at Melbourne's The Capitol, presented by The Wheeler Centre. The Reverse Centaur's Guide to Life After AI published by Verso is available now.  LINKS Buy 'The Reverse Centaur's Guide to AI: How To Think About Artificial Intelligence Before It's Too Late' by Cory Doctorow .
