    69: It Ain't Exactly Real

    For our 69th episode, Liam and Declan punish themselves for you. The two dads discuss Julia Baird's introduction to the ABC Boyer lectures.

    68: Productivity Circlejerk

    Are CEOs and establishment politicians actually Evil Marxists? Liam interviews Dave Eden* (*not an economist) of Living the Dream to find out. The lads hang out in a pod in the Ipswich Library and go deep on Jim Chalmers’ recent Economic and Productivity Roundtable. What was that, you ask? Good point. It was deeply, deeply unmemorable and we’re sorry to bring it up. Except that it gives clues about how the capitalist class and political elite in Australia are conceiving of their challenges and it’s probably a good idea that we pay attention. So strap yourselves in and get some economics in ya.

    67: Ee I Ee I Oh!

    Ryan interviews Clare and John about the politics and practice of working in a Greens electoral office. He also asks the question “was it worth the effort and would you do it again” but does not recommend that you ask your recently sacked friends the same.

    66: Marooned at the Teachers Strike

    Pt 3 of our electoral struggle session is coming soon, but in this inaugural Dadcast, three dads (Declan, Ryan and Liam) drink coffee and get worked up about the recent strike by public school teachers in Queensland. Ryan gives an on-the-ground report from the perspective of a tired first year teacher. The dads agree, teachers on strike = good. But, the dads ponder, are the demands, and the overall organising approach of the union, sufficient for the challenges (and opportunities) facing teachers today? AI gets excoriated. Zizek gets a mention. Hilarity ensues when Declan locks himself out of his own podcast.

    65: Inside the Mental Illness Factory

    Ryan, Maddy, Max and Liam pick back over the experience of engaging with that most sanctified of institutions, the beating heart of our truly exceptional democracy: Australian Federal Parliament. We also talk through the strategy of utilising electoral office resources for (and this is crazy) actually delivering material improvements to people’s lives. Crucially, this episode gives you all the tips and tricks you need to know if you ever want to win $3 billion dollars. No b******t, no scam, just cold hard cash (for social housing). This is the second of our 3-part series tracking the development of the Queensland Greens, and unpacking some of the lessons learned. Check out Ep 64: Pushing on an Open Void for the first instalment.Produced by Michael Griffinhttps://www.instagram.com/mikeskillz/https://www.instagram.com/floodmediaAU  Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/floodmedia See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    We're back, people. In this first episode in our latest reincarnation Deccas, Max, Nicole and Liam delve back into the past to find ancient secrets about the Art of Winning – how the Queensland Greens grew into a major political force from 2016 to 2022. This is the first of a three- (maybe four? stick around and find out!) part series tracking the development of the politics of the Queensland Greens, the growth of the movement, and analysing the factors behind the recent setbacks at the 2024 State and 2025 Federal elections.
