The Shot Podcast

A weekly podcast about Australian politics, power and corruption. Each week Jo Dyer, Ronni Salt and Dave Milner probe the myths and half-truths pushed by those in power. Sometimes profound, occasionally profane, The Shot podcast is always entertaining. If you want a didactic account of power and politics in Australia, download something else. But if you want robust, honest and witty engagement with the big issues, The Shot podcast will be right up your alley. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Ethics Washing and Corporate (cancel) Culture

    Jo and Dave talk to lawyer and author Josh Bornstein about his book Working for the Brand, an analysis of how corporations force staff to uphold their “values” and “integrity” or face being sacked on one hand while they gleefully destroy the world on the other. And how much are we loving Blue Sky? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Robodebt: A Bureaucratic Hallucination

    Jo and Ronni speak with Rick Morton about his definitive account of the great Government shakedown that was Robodebt, the immensely readable Mean Streak, and speculate on how long National Anti-Corruption Commissioner Paul Brereton can cling on to his job.

    Project Gaslight

    Jo and Dave are joined by Joel Jenkins of Bogan Intelligentsia to discuss how the world-beating concentration of Australia’s media - third behind only China and Egypt - leads to a desperately distorted image and narrative of the carnage in Gaza.

    The Demise of Twitter

    Ronni and Jo talk to New York Times journalists Kate Conger and Ryan Mac about their revelatory new book, Character Limit: How Elon Musk Destroyed Twitter, a cracking read about a story close to the hearts of many of our listeners: a page-turner that fills in all the jaw-dropping details about how our beloved Global Townplace became the plaything of the one of the world’s richest and most mercurial men.

    Dave is Back!

    Dave is back behind the microphone, joining Jo and Ronni to discuss the shrinking prime ministership of Anthony Albanese and echo the title of Ronni’s latest article for the Shot: “What was it all for, Anthony?” Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    No Care, No Responsibility

    On the day we learned that no-one would be punished or be otherwise held accountable for the Robodebt catastrophe, Jo is joined by Anthony Klan, Founder and Editor of The Klaxon, to discuss the Klaxon’s ongoing series into the National Anti-Corruption Commission: its mishandling of the Royal Commission’s referrals, its counter-intuitive lack of transparency and the “recusal” that wasn’t. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Breaking Worse

    Jo and Ronni stage a Shot takeover to discuss the collapse of brainworm-infested RFK Jr’s US presidential campaign and the apparently-not-brainworm-infested Linda Reynolds' inexplicable campaign of cruelty against rape survivor Brittany Higgins. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Paltering, Poison and Profit

    As Dave’s European sojourn continues, Jo chats to Royce Kurmelovs about his excellent new book, Slick: Australia’s Toxic Relationship with Big Oil, an entertaining and enraging look at how the extractive industries plotted to keep mining and polluting even as they knew of their disastrous consequences. A fascinating and forensic account of Big Oil’s successful strategy to run down the clock that continues to this day.
