    Our Rudd-Epstein Exclusive, the Israel Protest Ban, and the ABC Investigates Tyra Banks

    Os and Scott open the show by discussing their exclusive story on Kevin Rudd and Jeffrey Epstein published this week. Then, they turn to the decision by NSW Police to ban protests during the visit of Israel's President, and how predictions that new laws rushed through parliament would be used to protect Israel have been proven right. Next, they discuss The Daily Aus' curious strategy on social media comments that seems to prohibit discussion on Gaza, but not much else, and how questions from Lamestream led to a shift. Later in the show, they have a big conversation about polling: why it's influencing the political conversation so much, how it works and how accurate it really is. Finally, in Keeping Tabs, they look at Nine's decision to sell its radio division and buy a billboard company, and the ABC's exposes on Tyra Banks' "hot ice cream" venture.

    How Albanese's Invitation to Israel's President Sparked a Political Storm

    Os and Scott dive into the growing political and community backlash to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's decision to invite Israel's President Isaac Herzog to Australia. They discuss the background to the trip, how Herzog being cited in the genocide case at the International Court of Justice, how it makes Australia's commitment to human rights look pretty weak, and how momentum against the visit is growing. Then, Scott steps through the Israeli government's recent admission that the Gazan health ministry figures of at least 70,000 Palestinians being killed by the IDF are accurate, and what the consequences of that should be in newsrooms that treated the figures with scepticism. Later in the show, Os and Scott look at the US' descent into authoritarianism and how Trump appears to be using the threat of war with Iran to distract from the growing protest movement against his government. Plus, a check-in on where the Liberal leadership fiasco is at. Support Lamestream by visiting our website to sign up and become a subscriber.

    When Is A Bomb Attack Not Terrorism? Plus, the Blake Lively Texts, Hanson's Easy Media Run, and Q&A Returns?!

    Os and Scott talk about the muted media and political response to open displays of white nationalism and anti-Semitism at this week's March for Australia rallies, held in opposition to Invasion Day protests. They also look at why an attempted bombing of the Perth Invasion Day protest hasn't been declared a terrorist incident, even though officials have described it as a potential mass casualty event. Later in the show, they unpack Karl Stefanovic's foray into podcasting and what his decision to launch his new show with a softball Pauline Hanson reveals about the media landscape's infatuation with One Nation. And in Keeping Tabs, Scott breaks down at the social media accounts spreading celebrity conspiracies in the aftermath of the Blake Lively text messages being published, and Os looks at the ABC's confusing TV strategy and the new show that they've announced that sounds an awful lot like Q&A, which was recently axed.

    How Australia’s Right-Wing Imploded Over Israel. Plus, Could More Countries Call-Out Trump’s ‘Lie’?

    Os and Scott kick off the episode with a brief chat about Triple J's Hottest 100 and what role the poll plays in Australian culture in 2026. Then, they break down the Coalition split and look at why most media outlets are painting the Nationals as villains for refusing to back the government's extremely controversial hate speech laws. They also discuss how the media is covering One Nation's surge in the polls and why so much of the coverage is uncritical. Later in the show, they talk about Donald Trump's increasing isolation on the world stage with Canada's PM Mark Carney joining the chorus of global leaders criticising the US president, and look at how Australia is now one of the few western countries that is stubbornly remaining loyal to Trump.

    Australia Outlaws Protest Instead of Guns. Plus, Trump's Greenland Fixation, Beckham vs. Beckham, and the Lachie Neale Saga

    Os and Scott break down Parliament's rushed, late-night session this week that saw the passage of new laws cracking down on free speech and the potential criminalisation of anyone who critiques Israel. They discuss what is actually in the new laws and how the media encouraged the Liberals to back the legislation while giving them a free pass on abandoning their commitment to gun control. Later in the show, Scott unpacks the US' increasingly rapid descent into authoritarianism, including Trump's plan to acquire Greenland and his new "Board of Peace", which is set to govern Gaza. Plus, a conversation about the feud between Brooklyn Beckham and his parents, Bondi hero Ahmed Al Ahmed's globetrotting adventures this summer, a look at how Nine's partnership with the Australian Open is impacting The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald, and a look at the media's obsession with the Lachie Neale saga.

    We're Back! Australia's Political Meltdown, the Fight Over Free Speech and What’s Really Happening in Iran?

    Os and Scott are back with the first episode of 2026. They begin by sharing what they got up too over summer and the plans to make Lamestream bigger and better this year. In this episode, they discuss the political and media response following the Bondi terror attack and the battle over a Royal Commission, and how the the partisan campaigning for an inquiry into anti-Semitism exposed the hypocrisy of a number of senior media executives, editors and outlets. Then, they unpack the government's extremely controversial plans to criminalise hate speech, why they are being pushed for by the pro-Israel lobby and why they are opposed across the political spectrum. Later in the show, Scott looks at the protest movement in Iran and how Western media coverage does a disservice to the protestors and to the country more broadly. Os and Scott discuss how media coverage of Iran is largely filtered through the lens of US foreign policy interests and ignores the country's complexity and the various elements of the protest movement.
